“Shadow and Substance’ Surprise Play
Work of Irish Teacher to Arrive Friday for TwoDay Stay.
By JAMES THRASHER There’s nothing nicer than a surprise, especially at this time of year. That is why it seems almost a shame to say a ‘great deal about “Shadow and Substance,” English’s
w e ek - before-Christmas attraction which opens Friday for two days. Unless one reads the out-of-town dramatic news, however, one might easily pass over the play in favor of an afternoon’s shopping or an evening addressing greeting cards or wrapping presents. After all, the names of Paul Vincent Carroll, the author, or of Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Julie Haydon and Sara Allgood, the featured players, are famous neither “in Hollywood nor on the “road.” ~ So, at the risk of taking the edge off an unexpected pleasure, a word or two is needed about play and players, lest you pass them by. to your later regret.
Wrote Play in 1936
Until last January no one in theatrical circles ever had heard of Paul Vincent Carroll. Naturally, because Mr. Carroll had not moved in those circles. A transplanted Irishman, he was pursuing the obscure career of grammar school teacher in the Glasgow slums, supporting his wife and three daughters on a $35-a-week salary. During the winter of 1936 he wrote “Shadow and Substance.” It was produced at a small London theater, and somehow or other, Eddie Dcwling, the musical comedy star turned producer, heard of it, read it and acquired the American rights. The schoolmaster’s play became a hit, and Mr. Carroll has deserted the classroom, since it is estimated that his royalties will total $150,000 by the time “Shadow and Substance” completes its run. After the present American tour — in which, praise be, the original New York cast is appearing—the play will open in London next fall. Sir Cedric Hardwicke, the youngest actor ever to be knighted, may be remembered here for his performances in the movies “Les Miserables,” “Things to Come,” “Nine Days a Queen,” “The Green Light” and “King Solomon’s Mines.” He is not primarily a screen actor, however. As:proof of this there may be offered the authenticated report that he turned down a $50,000 HolYrwood contract to play his present role.
Trouped Through Africa
Born in England 46 years ago, Sir _ Cedric got his first stage experience trouping through Africa. After a year of that, he returned to England, joined up with the British Army, and emerged from the World War a captain. He then joined Sir Barry Jackson's Birmingham Repertory Theater. The group served as a testing ground for many of Bernard Shaw’s new plays, and it was there that the playwright first saw the young actor. Soon Mr. Shaw was calling Sir Cedric “one of England’s great actors,” and was specifying that he should have a part in his new productions. Sir Cedric created roles in three of Shaw’s “Back to Methuselah” plays and “The Apple Cart,” and also appeared in many Shaw revivals. In the non-Shavian repertory, he was the first Edward Moulton Barrett in “The Barretts of Wimpole Street” and created the title part in “The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse.” Last year Sir Cedric was appointed director of England’s annual Malvern Festival. Since his new duties necessitate his being .in Britain by next June, Mr. Dowling
cut short the New York run and|d
sent “Shadow and Substance” on a tour of 62 cities. This, by the way, is Sir Cedric’s first appearance in the Americgn hinterlands.
“Known in Films
id remember Julie remarkable performance in one remarkable picture. That was Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur's “The Scoundrel,” made in 1935 with Noel Coward as the star. And if they're loyal fans, they should forget Miss Haydon several “quickies” to which she was relegated, presumably for the unfortunate reason that she resembled Ann Harding. Sara Allgood likewise may be 1ientified by one excellent film in which she appeared. That was “Storm in a Teacup,” which you may have seen aty Loew’s last winter. But if yov are an old Abbey Theater admi &, Miss Allgood is no stranger. She came to this country first in 1911 with the Abbey company, and has appeared frequently since then in irish and American productions. As for the play, it is set in Ireland, and its theme concerns the struggle between Reason, as typified by a learned, aristocratic and uncharitable. church diginitary, and Faith, in the person of an unlettered servant girl.
Critics Termed It Best
The New York Drama Critics’ Gir-|—— cle picked it as last year’s best play by a foreign author; picked it unanimously on the first ballot, too, which is unprecedented. It likewise won the Drama League medal for the best performed play on Broadway. For the assertion that “Shadow and Substance” is graced by beautiful writing and absorbing characters, leavened with delightful humor and studded with some of the best ‘acting of any season, you'll have to take the word of the writer, who has seen it and thinks it slightly stupendous and definitely colos-

From Jungle to Hollywood, Such Is the Trail of Sabu
Sabu, who stars in “Drums,” coming to Loew’s Thursday, was far
He had no Hollywood connections, his uncle wasn’t a big producer—and, in short, he didn’t have an inside track. Sabu was a mere jungle waif who had never seen a camera, wore a loin cloth and turban and who lived on a handful of rice a day.
suddenly appedred before the public
You should see him today. He lives in a luxurious apartment, hobnobs with celebrities, goes to school in Beaconsfield, plays football and handles his midget racing car with the same skill as he managed his elephants. Father Dies
He was born 14 years ago in the jungle of Karapur, the heart of the wild elephant country in India. His father, who worked in the MaharaJjah’s elephant stables, died, leaving small Sabu to live an a Government pension of two rupees, or about 64 cents a month. The Korda film unit, making location shuts for “Elephant Boy” saw him and gave him the role of Little Toomai in the Kipling story. He made a hit, both in England and America. Such is the saga of Sabu. At present, Raymond Massey, who plays the role of the villainous Prince Ghul in “Drums,” has discarded his sneer and turban for an honest look and whiskers as he stars in Robert Sherwood’s current play, “Abe Lincoln of Illinois.”
Christmas program at 8:30 p. m. next Tuesday in the Scottish Rite Cathedral. The performance will not be broadcast. The concert will open with Philip James’ “Overture in Olden Style on’ French Noels” and continue with Schubert’s “Unfinished” Symphony. Tommie Wright, pianist, will be heard as soloist in the Haydn.

Chorus and orchestra will join forces in the “Hallelujah” Chorus from “The Messiah” to end the concert. Mr. Lautner is the JordanButler choral director. ” ” ” Harold Triggs, head of the Conservatory piano department, will present Mrs. Dorothy Munger in recital at 8:30 o'clock tonight in the Odeon. Her program includes the Brahms PF. Minor Sonata; the Polonaises Fantaisie, Berceuse and the B Minor Scherzo of Chopin; Granads’ “The Maiden and the Nightingale,” and three Debussy compositions: “What the West Wind Saw,” “Canope,” and the Toccata.

Arsenal “Boom” Hits Hollywood
HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 13 (U. P...— Gun fights and big scale movie battles today brought Hollywood a little “armament” boom of its own. J. S. Stembricge, head of an-ar-senal supplying films with anything from matchlocks to airplane machine guns, said 175,000 rounds of ammunition were used in the past fortnight. Mr. Stembridge is keeping 12 men busy cleaning and repairing 400 rifles. and pistols and mixing hundreds of pounds of powder to fill thousands of blank cartridges. Among arms supplies are: Four hundred and sixty rifles of the 1863 cap and ball variety for the production “Union Pacific.” Two hundred and sixty Austrian rifles and 275 Russian Mauzins for “Hotel Imperial.” One hundred and seventy-five pistols and rifles for “Stagecoach.” One hundred and eighty FrenchMexican rifles of the Civil War period for Paul Muni’s picture, “Juarez.” One hundred and fifty-four sixshooters and rifles for ‘Heritage of the Desert.”
rifles for “Gunga Din” and a similar order for “The Light That Failed.” Four hundred German and American rifles for Gary Cooper's “Last Frontier.”
TYRONE PAYS— WITH INTEREST
NEWARK, N, J., Dec. 13 (U.P.) — Benjamin Bleiberg, who once ran a theatrical hotel in New York, lent Tyrone Power Sr. $500. The actor

could pay the sum back. Recently Mr. Bleiberg, whose luck had turned for the worse, sent an autographed picture of the Power family group to Tyrone Power Jr., the screen star, mentioning the
proof other than the photograph. Today he had a check from young Power and the photo back with the star's autograph under that of the star's father.

Ft. Wayne Experiment Spurs
FHA Campaign; Higher Loan Limit Hinted.
By ‘THOMAS L.. STOKES . Times Special Writer .
-. WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—An intensified campaign by the Federal Housing Administration to enlist cities and municipalities, in cooperation with private capital, in
construction of lower-priced homes
for lower income groups has become one of the New. Deal's major objectives. In this connection, President Roosevelt is expected late today
to make an important announcement of plans which will embrace, it is learned, an increase of the FHA’s authorized limit of guaranteed loans from its present $2,000,$3,000,000,000, though some advocate even a larger fund. This would require legislation by the forthcoming Congress. Successful experiments in various parts of the country, sponsored by local communities and backed by FHA mortgage guarantees, have pointed the way to large-scale, lowcost housing, particularly that of |prefabricated houses for relief families at Ft. Wayne, Ind. renting for $2.50 a week. Frank Watson, formerly of Purdue University, the young FHA executive who handled that project, has been made chief of a special FHA division with larger facilities to carry forward his experimentation in that direction. He has a number of proposed plans for further extension into the low cost field.
Enters Low Cost Field
The FHA has been moving gradually into the lower cost strata since Congress, at its last session, amended the Federal Housing Act, extending from 80 to 90 per cent of appraised value the Federal insurance on newly constructed, own-er-occupied homes; along with substantial reductions in financing costs. : The minimum. permissible down payment on houses appraised at $6000 or less was reduced from 20 to 10 per cent, and FHA statistics reveal an increase of homes in this classification for which mortgages have been insured. Home building is expected to reach 1929 levels When this year’s record is completed, with the objective to push it still higher next year. Last week, with the winter season on when building diminishes, the FHA insured a total of approximately 20 million dollars—the figure which it has maintained in recent weeks from a level of about 22 million dollars earlier. This compares with eight million dollars for the same week a year ago. Bankers have softened in their one-time hostility toward the FHAinsured mortgage plan, as demonstrated by the favorable attitude
sociation and Mortgage Bankers Association conventions this year. This change represents a contintial campaign of education by the FHA, headed Administrator Stewart McDonald, which slowly iy increased co-operation in this e
