Miss Soothe *- Comedy Due

| Next Month|

Kiss Boys Goodbye' Is|

Booked March 23, 24 And 25 at English's.

English’s, which has housed only three plays so far in 1939, may bestir itself with the coming of spring. At least there is a booking for “Kiss the Boys Goodbye” on March 23, 24 and 25. ; .. This is the new Clare Boothe play which opened on Broadway early this season and currently has a second company holding forth in Chicago. It is another vitriolic comedy by the author of “The Women,” with certain recognizable figures in the world of art and letters coming in. for some slaps and digs. Miss Boothe, facetiously or not, has insisted, in the preface to the recently published play, that she intended it as an anti-Fascist drama. But the public has welcomed it for what it obviously is, -a satire on Mr. Selznick’s troubles in finding a Scarlett O'Hara. : Vincent Burke, English’s manager, said today that he did not know whether the New York or Chicago companies would be seen here. Also on English’s date book is an engagement of Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne for mid-April. The Lunts currently are touring in repertory which includes “Amphytrion 38” and “The Sea Gull.”

Maybe Its ~ A Tornado

Now -Scarlett's Director Is Gone With the Wind.

. By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN United Press Staff Correspondent HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 14.—The long-deferred and . oft-post-poned motion picture, “Gone With The Wind,” ran into some windy going today when its director, George Cukor, quit his job. His boss, producer David O. Selznick, said this was the “most re-

grettable incident” of his picturemaking career; together they issued

a formal statement in which they] -

said ‘they’d decided to part company because they'd disagreed on many individual scenes.

Jolt to Performers

This came as a jolt to Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh, Leslie Howard and other performers, who said they ~ hadn’t noticed any trouble on Sound Stage 14, where Mr. Cukor and Mr. Selznick had worked together almost constantly on the color

recording of the troubles of Scarlett O'Hara, and her Civil War boy friend, Rhett Butler. The trouble seemed to have grown out of one of those Hollywood wrangles, indigenous to the movie business. Mr. Selznick borrowed actor Gable from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, which conlracted to distribute the picture. L. B. Mayer, executive vice president of Metro, is the father-in-law of Mr. Selznick, who!has Mr. Cukor, one of his closest friends, under contract. Well-founded reports had it that ‘M.-G.-M. wanted one of its own directors in charge of the picture and that Mr. Selznick and Mr. Cukor had to acquiesce. Selznick scoffed at - the idea, while Mr. Selznick and Mr.

iss Payne Wins Fame With Music

Compositions Broadcast on Radio Chain.

By JAMES THRASHER Like the expatriate German, Paul Hindemith, Miss Harriet Payne plays the viola for a living and composes more for fame than for fortune. ; Miss Payhe is the dark-haired young woman who may be seen sharing the first viola desk at any of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra concerts, As a composer she is better known elsewhere than in her home city. Some of her compositions have been published, however, and two of her works have been accorded network broadcast performances. The most recent of these broadcasts occurred yesterday, when the Rochester: Civic Orchestra, Guy Fraser Harrison conducting, played her Variations of Original Theme during an NBC concert at 2 p. m. This composition is one of three which Miss Payne has scored for full - orchestra, the others being a Rhapsody and a Violin Concerto. The Variations, in fact, make use of all the modern orchestral forces, including contrabassoon, clarinet and celesta.

Never Loses Poise

Listening conditions yesterday were not ideal, but the local composer’s ‘music weathered the unflattering transmission very nicely. The most notable feature of Miss Payne’s work was the poise and assurance of her craftsmanship. There are 14 short variations to the theme and a more extended Thus the composition becomes a series of swiftly changing moods, but the composer seemed in no doubt as to what she wished to say. : Miss Payne has made telling use of polytonality and the whole tone scale. Her employment of counterpoint is able and effective, and she has handled the orchestra in a mature: manner. Further -estimate of this composition must wait for another hearing at closer hand and under more favorable circumstances. The composer’s other broadcast work was a Fantasy “for Strings, played, by the Columbia Concert Orchestra,- under Frederick Adler's direction, in August of 1937. Among her other compositions are an octet, quintet and two quartets for strings; some pieces for viola and piano, published by Pro Arte Publishers, and an unfinished. work for viola and ‘orchestra.

Pieces Dedicated to Nephew - The composer’s only frankly de-

‘easy viola pieces, now in the process of transcription to a children’s suite for orchestra. They are dedi-

cated to Miss Payne’ nephew. oes . young

ding. . The Brewster twins were dressed in gray frocks with accessories to match and the Strouds wore identical gray suits.
