NEW YORK- Johnny got a bl* Blay in Now York last week. There waa a play called “Johnny 2x4“ which opened at the Longacre Theatre, and another calb-d "Johnny Doodle" at the Popular Theatre, and between the two of 'em there wasn’t much choice either for drama or what we long haired gents call theafflatua. "Johnny 2x4" la a speakeaay saga, and anyone with nostalgia for the. good old apeakcasy days I* nuta It isn't a very good picture of the apeakeaay era and Its dl mensions stay pretty well within the limit* of It* title There’s a huge cast, probably the biggest assembled in some years, and if the old floor shows in the old and snootier speaks struck you as being art, you’ll probably enjoy thia Johnny. But there’s little else In Its favor. “Johnny Doodle" on the other hand is a melange of folk songs, declamations on America's greatness, and attempts to art down America's worth in terms of the common people. That's always a big order, and the youngsters who pul on “Johnny Dotwile" weren't equal to the job They had. as Burna Mantle said In hia kind review, a lot of fun Richard Watts, of the Herald Tribune found the effort so "feebly and clumsily manipulated that the good Intentions went tor nothing." yet Brook* Atkinson, of the Time*, saw that despite its "crudities, always ingenuous and •ometlmc* obvious." they did succeed In capturing some of the romantic truth of the Amerkxn legend. Take your choice. The Immediate future takes tn. a somewhat roseate glow for the theatre. John Steinbeck s “The Moon Is Down” la one of the plays scheduled for production by Oscar Serlin. The cast will include Otto Kruger. Ralph Mor gan, Whitford Kane, Russell Collins, Joseph Sweeney. E. J. Bal lantyne. Leona Power* and Jane Seymour. It will open at the Martin Reck recently the acene
