" Then Miriam Takes a Rap |

At Boston Critics.

| BOSTON, Jan. 8 (U. P.).—Miriam Hopkins bowed to the objections of

‘City Councilmen to certain lines in

the play, “Battle of Angels,” but said today that the protesting City athers ought to be “thrown into ston Harbor, as the tea once was.” | “I'll bet they haven't even seen the play,” the actress said. “Their attitude is an insult to the fine young man who wrote the show, and you can tell them for me that I haven’t gotten to the point where I have to appear in dirty plays.” | “Battle of Angels,” written by Tennessee Williams, is about life in the Mississippi Delta ‘region and qeals at length with such things as infidelity and the consequences Sherect. Calls It ‘Putrid’ | | City Councillor Michael J. Ward, who said he hadn’t seen the play ‘but had heard. plenty about it, called it “putrid.” || Miss Hopkins, co-starring with Doris Dudley, said it wasn’t. || “It’s not a dirty play,” she said. “If it were I wouldn't be in it. The dirt is something in the minds of some of the people who have seen it.” Police Commissioner Joseph F. Timility and Assistant City Censor Joseph Mikolajewski ruled that the show could go on if certain lines were deleted. A spokesman for the producers, the Theater Guild, said the changes would be made but that, in any event, the play would close aturday unless a collaborator could e found to help the author rewrite

Objectionable Lines | Among the lines objected to were several of Miss Hopkins’, a number of Miss Dudley's and a lot of Wesley Addy’s. Mr. Addy plays the part of a boastful village Don Juan who seduces Miss Hopkins while her ailing|! husband lies at the point of death. Miss Dudley eventually wins him away from Miss Hopkins, but later is mobbed by angry citizens for misconduct with a Negro. Miss Hopkins’ husband finally shoots her and another mob fires their home, Miss Hopkins and her over perishing in the flames, Mr. Timilty described the show as ‘a play about cheap white trash,” and much of the dialog as “improper and indecent.” The assitsant censor said “too many of the lines have double meanings.”

'Bits' Abound in Next Civic Play

The Civic Theater members’ devotion to the drama has seldon been more apparent than in rehearsals for Elmer Rice's “Two or an Island,” according to reports from the Civic publicity department, The play, which opens Frida} night, is notable for the number of “bit” parts it contains. The islanc in the title is Manhattan, and Mt! Rice has used his players liberally to supply atmosphere. Thus there is one scene in which 12 persons simply walk on the stage as the curtain is closing, and a subway scene in which only 10 of 35 actors on the stage have ‘anything to say. This hasn't prevented many of the Civic’s best known players from taking these parts, however. And they have spent long hours at nighgly rehearsals to fit their small contribution into the ensemble. Among the experienced Civic veterans to be seen in small parts are Ned LeFevre, Elizabeth Bogert Schofield, Mary. T Bogert, Noel Collier, William Cook, Egan Leck and Gloria Geddes. The three most substantial acting parts are heing done by Fanchon Fattig! Robert Schwomeyer and Norman Green. Richard Hoover is directing the play, and his production assistant is David Langworthy, a student in the Yale Drama School, who also designed the sets. “Two on an Island” was Mr. Rice's contribution to last year’s Broadway season. Incidentally, his latest play; “Flight to the West,” opened in New York last week and reaped a gen« erous harvest of critical praise,

PROVES BELIEF IN LOVE AT IST SIGHT

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 8 (NEA)—A | syrupy fan magazine writer was interviewing a he-man actor, “And do you believe in love at first sight?” | she asked. “Sure do,” he said. “That's the story of my marriage: One look and I leeped. It wasn’t until I took a second look that I divorced her.”

IT IS FARE that a produce; mixes light farce with heavier entertainment and when he does i exhibitors usually line up along the wailing walll to moan that a flop is on the way.
