BROADWAY NIGHTS z By ALEX STORM _ -111 Uttdl If W Kale reasarea. la. -

— NEW YORK—If It weren’t for the heat you'd thtnk we were back in the busiest part of the theatrical season, what with openings almost every evening of the week, but we re sorry to ray that the quality of the offerings haan t particularly Improved over what ve sat through in the Fall ana Winter. There la, for instance, a piay called "Broken Journey, which deate with the woes of two radio reporters masculine and feminine, who get around something fierce, taking children into war zones and having themselves a* dramatic a time aa you please The male part of the team goes home to his native heath in Ohio, sighs, loosens his belt and wants to settle down to help edit the local paper and keep decent hours tn a quiet place. He wants to marry his childhood sweetheart and nearly does, but when he hears the feminine reporter broadcast from the Pacific after Pearl Harbor, the call of the microphone is too much for him. The piav was a bit too much for ail concerned. "Broken Journey" isn't long for the world of Broadway. Ed Wynn has brought the best balanced vaudeville show to New York in "Laugh, Town. Laugh, going as far aftetd as a fastmoving seven point badminton match to offer bis audiences nov elty. He's the same funny, de cent, dean Ed Wynn and It’a nice » see him again. He has a swell time butting into acts, and they all appear to like him as much as the audience does. Jane Froman, pretty aa a roto picture, does some sweet singing. Carmen Amaya, her two kid testers, her father and her brother, assisted by a skillful guitarist stop the show. Carmen has lost some of her fire by assuming a bit of suavity which doesn't quite suit her. She’s the greatest flamenco dancer we’ve ever seen, but not of Fort Wayne visited with Mr and Mrs. Eli Goldner the 4th of July.

in “Laugh, Town. Laugh.” Smith and Dale, vaudeville veterans, set the audience to roaring with thetr skit which almost everyone over the age of forty will remember with more than one chuckle, and the Hermanos Williams trio supplies brawn and muscle with some unusual acrobatics. It's good fun and worth the money. "Star and Garter" opened the other night at the Music Bon, and it’s a bawdy, dressy (or rather undressyl raucous and generally speaking funny revue starring Bobby Clark and Gypsy Rose Lee. It’s smutty enough, in all conscience, but never too smutty. Once in a while the gags gag a tot of people In the audience, but on the other hand there was a tot of laughter at some of the broader aspects of anatomical buffoonery, so you can’t please everybody. Aunt Tessie wouldnt be much shocked because a lot of It would go over her head, but it’s no place for your high schoolage daughter. Ed Wynn’s show, to the contrary, has all the laughs you expect and none of them explore the anatomy. "Star and Garter" is crammed with gild* of all sizes, shapes and colors. It has Prof Lambert!, whose xylophone act is ns familiar as Smith and Dale are in Wynn's show. The Professor has broadened his humor somewhat, possibly to suit the occasion and meet the $4.40 cost of admission, but he’s as funny as ever. There’s a cute little singer named Marjorie Knapp, a couple of looselimbed and athletic dancers 1 called the Hudson Wonders, and a swell animal act. "Star and Garter" fills the eye, and someI times fills the ear too full, but if you Mke revues you’H get your money’s worth. We aren’t Mr ’ Clark’s most ardent admirer, hut : we admit he’s funny. Ami we 1 think Just what you do about l Gypsy Rose Lee. ★ ★ witai fyufciUf Wilk WAR BONDS ★ ★! The Thompson sub-marhine gun is on* of the most effective wer weapons.
