Novel Sets Save Waits

‘Jackknife’ Scenery, Used for First Time Here, Speeds Production.

BY JAMES THRASHER

Among the “firsts” connected with the Federal Players’ production of “It Can't Happen Here,” which goes into its second week tonight, is the initial use of “jackknife” sets in a local

stock production. If you have seen the Sinclair Lewis play, you have noticed that the players go through their paces

nent stage. At the front of this platform, on either side, are pins to ‘which the scenery is fastened. While one scene is played, the stageAs the curtain comes down, one wing 15 unfastened and the next hitched cn and swung into place. It’s much like turning the pages of a great book

The result is an absence of be-tween-scenes waits. It is a very happy absence, since the anti-Fas-cist drama is presented in 13 “chapters.” Novel Sound Effects Used

Another novel bit of stage mechanics which avoids awkward pauses in the number of sound effects which carry the audience over from one. episode to the next. A very effective “parade” is managed by means of recordings. A march is played first on an off-stage phonograph. Then the band back stage picks it up, marches- in, and on its departure fades back into the recording again. - All these tricks came out of the sleeve of John Cameton, the Federal Players’ director. Directors of all 24 of the companies presenting the play simultaneously throughout the country have been given free rein in the matter of staging, even to cutting scenes. Consequently, “It Can't Happen Here” is apt to be quite different in various localities, especially since the presentations include two in Yiddish—one in New York and one in Los Angeles—an Italian Production in Newark, N. J., and an allNegro company in Birmingham, Ala. So far as Henry Burton, Keith's manager, is able to learn, the Indianapolis players are the only company deing all 13 scenes. The play, of which this is the third acting version, originally had 15 scenes, but telegraphic instructions deleted two of them. Mr. Burton also stated that the “jackknife” sets, an idea originally devised for Guy Bates Post, will be retained at the local theater and used again if a production of sufficient size warrants.

ANNOUNCE NEW PICTURE “Professional Lady,” a story ,K by Sig Herzig and Gene Thackery, was announced today as a probable vehicle for Shirley Ross, Martha Raye and John Boles.
