€r May 2 or May 9. - The season’s only musical show will be the new Cole Porter opus, “You Never Know,” coming in for two nights on May 24. Though it isn’t due on Broadway until next fall, it seems that Mr. Porter has ‘something here. The stajs are Clifton Webb, the volatile Lupe Velez, Libby Holman, returning to the stage after several years’ retiremen’, Toby Wing of the films, and other popular entertainers.

Mr. Welles is the same theatrical prodigy whém Indianapolis first noticed when his all-Negro “Macbeth” plaied a week at Keith's under Federa. Theater auspices. If you saw Me; Welles himself do the title part in blackface on the last night's perforinance, you're doubly lucky. Vincent Burke, English’s manager, ant ounces that it is quite possible thet we shall see the Chicago “Cy.esar” company. It includes, among othets, Larry Fletcher, ie former Indianapolis resident, last seen here in Tallulah Bankhead’s “Antony and Cleopatra.”

Speaking of Cleopatra ...

speaking of “Antony and Cleopatra”—which Miss Bankhead surely would be loath to do—recalls the year’s prime theatrical irony. Miss Bankhead’s production was mounted handsomely at a cost of well over $100,000. In fact, some of the scenery was shipped back to New York ~ in the course of its preliminary tour, since its transportation ate great holes in the box-office receipts. - Well, the production was received wi h considerable misgivings all

er about four more shows “Antony and Cleopatra” gave up the ghost. Mr. Welles’ “Caesar,” on the other hand, was put on for about $7000. The important thing was that, reading the play in the light of current politics, the 24-year-old producer found that here was 20th Century . fascism, pro and con.

Sam Browne Belts

After that, it was only-a step : San Browne belts igi ir rg and which largely carnily placed spotlights that prcved more effective than the traditional gilt and columns. So, with “Cpesar” and “The Shoemaker’s Holiday” and “The Cradle Will Rock,” Orson Welles and his Mercury Theater associates have been making money on popular-priced drama and, incidentally, have been making a name for themselves as one of the contemporary American theater's most vital forces: Returning to the original theme— the Abbey Players—Mr. Burke as yet has not heard what they will play here. But it will be Irish, that much is certain. The company has gained fame throughout the English -speaking world by acquainting outsiders with the magnificent plays of 20th Century Ireland. The fact that the Abbey Players procuce superior actors is generally evident—especially if you have gon: to the movies {0 see Una O'Connor and Fitzgerald, or to the New York stage for a look 8 Duciiey Digges and Sara Allgood.

pier front in the harbor. It probably is the most cosmopolitan place in town. Its patronage—British, French, Norwegian, Latin, Greek—stems from whatever boats happen to be in port. Motley crews on shore-leave are bound to step in at least once for a noisy toast. The top hats, tails and ermine seldom come around, save when an occasional gay dog happens | in by accident. Not that he is ‘wel-

come. The man behind the bar © has no flair for the social whirl. Fistfights are an hourly event. World wars are fought in words every night. The German crosses frontiers by word of mouth across the bar and distresses the Frenchman and there is an ensuing bout. Or the Greek, defending the greatness of ancient Athens against the slurs of a mocking Britisher, takes offense and offers fight. On one of the worst days, this waterfront accommodated a dozen brawls. Was the management disconcerted? Not at all. For seamen, not the least advan tageous feature of the “joint” is its respect for the international currencies. The bartender, with the studious zeal of a bank expert, records the daily rates of exchange and is willing to take his libation tolls in various coins of the realm. An ancient drachma would doubtless be negotiable with him in payment for a whisky, neat. The same barman also is wise in ways and movements of ships; can tell you when that tra vessel that left last year is due return—and on what day. He is even more glib

about arrivals of the big ships. His most active day is when the Europa Aquitania, Normandie, Statendarii, Oriente and Paris are in port at the. same time.

Nick, The House

And there is that elegant “dive” called The Greenwich Tavern, downtown under the “L.* To the inkstained wretches who inhabit it, “Nick's” is a better abbreviated and more affectionate name. Its proprietor is ‘a 250-pounder. That's Nick himself.

Four out of five hars along South St.—the avenue of wharves—are atmospheric places, if the novice guest is on the prowl for color. They are the havens of seafaring men who are “laying ‘off” after their last voyage or biding time until their next berth. The personnel is rough and tough; the refreshment never costs much. The talk is salty and mosily anecdotal with the sea as a backdrop for most of the robustly related stories.

A local gagster wires me that he has purchased a six-month option on a lumber yard in the hope of discovering another Charlie McCarthy. He sent it as a full-rate telegram, too. Up Connecticut way, 2 group of distinguished neighbors have got together to publish what appears to be the toniest .newspaper in America. A newspaper with an allstar cast, each of whose members could demand high prices for appearing under the mastheads of most gazettes. The name of the journal is to be the Connecticut Nutmeg and its circulation will be restricted to the suburban area.

Heywood Broun will write for it and so will Franklin P. Adams and Quentin Reynolds. Gene Tunney will contribute a column on politics and government: Ursula Parrott, the enormously successful novelist, will conduct the Woman's Page, and: john Kes Wilder Lane editorial late ‘The Connecticut Nutmeg expects to get Dale" Carnegie, who lives in the neighborhood, to tell more about winning friends and influencing people, and Homer Croy, the fictioneer, to supply columnar stories. The whole project started as a hobby venture—not as a business enterprise—and the pioneers are not looking forward to tremendous profits. There will be no editorial strictures upon the staff, by the way. Anything goes, providing that “anything” remains within the laws. of the United States mail aws.
