Kaufman - Hart Satire on Woollcott Due Nov. 12.

The Man Who Came to Dinner,” hit comedy hy George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart, has been blooked Into English’s for a four-day engagement beginning Nov. 12. The eegement has been moved up ris : > om iginal booking in Jan Vincent Burke, English’s mana said today that he did not now which of the two touring companies would be seen here. One of these is headed by Clifton Webb and the other by Taylor Holmes. Mr. Webb played the part of Sheridan Whiteside in the troupe which played an extended stand in Chicago before taking to the road. Mr. Holmes was engaged for the other company after Alexander Wollcott's physicians had forbidden him to continue in the part. It 1s generally admitted that the Whiteside character is a satirical portrait of Mr. Woolcott—even by the authors, who dedicated the work to Mr. Wollcott “for reasons that are nobody’s business.” This fact, however, did not prevent Mr. Woollcott’s appreciating the lamboon and appearing in the ‘part until illness forced him to retire from the production on the West Coast last spring.

GIVEN NICKNAME

William Holden’s nickname “Mouldy.” It was given to him by Tardy, 10-year-old son of Claude Binyon, scenarist, because of the scraggy beard he wore for four months during the filming of “Arizona.”

Texas Reviewer Supplies Us With ‘Inside Dope' on Sevitzky

managers and football coaches, and get a story on how things are shaping up. But this year a Dallas newspaperman covered the ground for us pretty completely. _ So all that remains is to pass’ aleng some of the new and pertinent disclosures by Mr. Sevitzky's Dallas interviewer, whose name is John Rosenfield. For one thing, Mr. Rosenfield discovered that the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s conductor is a “slender, cadaverous Russian.” Now, repeated first-hand observations from this corner have found Mr. Sevitzky to possess the weight and dimensions of the average Big Ten halfback. But it may be that they grow a breed of men down Texas way that makes our stalwart maestro look positively wraithlike by comparison. Mr. Rosenfield likewise refers to the conductor in two or three places as “Favvy Sevitzky.” The authenticity and acceptability of this pet name are now being in‘vestigated. Meanwhile it might be advisable to just keep on -calling him Mr. Sevitzky. E EJ ”

Other thoughtful items from the interview include the news that “Sevitzky's success in landing money backing and in personally managing the finances of his orchestra have obscured his reputation as a musician. . . . He is not ashamed of his business record in music. “I think an artist owes it to himself to be a good businessman,’ he said. ‘He should be master of the business of dealing with . people, of publicising himself and his art, of making his own contracts. “‘All effective persons are artists and all are husinessmen. A good merchant or realtor or banker or manufacturer is an artist. And if you don’t believe this ask his employees about his temperament. The artist businessman can throw just as many tantrums as the artist musician. “ “The only difference is that the businessman, when he throws a fit, can go to Florida or California for three months and recover. The musician or actor has to go on with the show.” 4 Eo 2 MR. SEVITZKY has been named on the National Sibelius Festival committee which will honor the Finnish composer with performances of his music during the week of Dec. 7. Sibelius will be 75 years old on Dec. 8. Mrs. Samuel L. M. Barlow is chairman of the committee, which includes the names of most of the country’s leading orchestra conductors, in addition to other prominient artists, composers and educators. : The committee has informed 481 professional, semi-profes-sional, amateur, conservatory, university, settlement house and community orchestras and 5100 other musical organizations of the event, and is urging them to plan their programs accordingly.

Mr. Beilfuss, a Chicagoan, was a member of the NBC Symphony Orchestra last winter. He also has been a member of the Chicago Philharmonic and the St. Louis and Portland (Ore.) Symphony Orchestras, and for the last three summers has been first bassoonist of the Tulsa Symphony Orchestra. Other members of the bassoon section will be Jacob Nabokin and both | of whom are retained from last year. 2 E- 4 EThe current issiie of Town and Country Magazine presents Alec Templeton in the role of record reviewer.

Italo Montemezzi will conduct a performance of his own opera, “The Love of Three Kings.” The benefit revival of Strauss’ ‘‘Salome” will be under the baton of Artur Rodzinski, and the two scheduled performances of Strauss’ “Per Rosenkavalier” will be conducted by Fritz ‘Reiner. Lawrence Tibbett’s protracted illness has forced him to cancel his announced Chicago appearance in “Otello.” Rather than present the opera without Mr. Tibbett’s widely admired Iago, the opera management has decided to present in its place a second performance of “Manon,” with Helen Jepson and Richard Crooks.

Jobs Safe at Warner Lot

They'll Be Saved for Those Called in Draft.

* HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 10.—(U. P.) —Actors and other employees of Warner Brothers Studio who may be drafted under the Conscription Act, were assured today that their jobs would be waiting for them when they came back. * President Harry M. Warner said that all employees leaving the Warner lot under the selective service program would be given a special leave of absence. In addition to restoring employees’ positions, Mr. Warner said, the studio would pay two weeks’ extra salary to those who had been with the company more than a year. The bonus will be granted when the employee reports back to work. If workers with dependents are called, the studio is considering payment of a monthly sum to families, the amount to be determined by their financial condition. Other major studios either have announced similar plans or have them under consideration.
