THE STAGE

A SHORT, BEADY-EYED gentleman, a dead ringer for Erich von Stroheim, stalked into the foyer of English's yesterday afternoon with a bandage on his right thumb. Upon inquiry and examination it turned out that the man’s name was Erich von Stroheim and the bandage was a bandage, one of those ready-taped drugstore products for use in minor emergencies. This is by way of disclosing that the case of “Arsenic and Old Lace” has arrived. The play opens a three-day engagement Thursday night, including a Saturday matnee, and then moves on to Chicago. Once arrived in Chicago, it is the hope of the backers that the troupe will be able to settle down for a whole summer's stay. " o ”

THE PLAY itself is a comedy by a new-found young craftsman by the name of Joseph Kesselring. For too many years Mr, Kesselring was another of those New York -coffee-and-doughnuts playwrights whose major works had been staged in some of the producers’ better waste baskets. Then he decided to do one about his aunt, having her do things which she absolutely and definitely would never do. The result, a lovely story about 13 murders by two matronly sisters—and one of the biggest laughs Broadway has had this year. The producers are the same two smart guys who put on “Life With Father” — Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse. The director is the same as in “Father,” too, and his name is Bretaigne Windust, 35, a product of Princeton's class of ’29. # THE TWO murderous sisters are Effie Shannon and Laura Hope Crews, veterans of English's stage. They walked out of the rain into the foyer yesterday in the best of spirits and ebullient over the comedy qualities of Mr. Kesselring’s play.

By Fremont Power

WITH THE PRESS met and talked to, Mr. Windust assembled a few chairs, improvised a stage in foyer and launched a rehears= al—“just to polish up a few matters,” he explained Helen Twelvetrees whom Indianapolis will remember; as a stock player in the days of the Keith Theater, was ill yesterday and it was deemed advisable to rehearse an understudy, although assurances were given that Miss Twelvetrees will be quite in form for Thursday's opening. Just two more items: The cast is from a week's run in Baltimore and that bandage on Mr, von Stroheim's thumb was to protect a torn nail. His role calls for considerable handling of surgical instruments and it turns out Mr. von Stroheim accidentally carved up himself, Which is just a terrible thing to happen to a charming old villain like him.

Musical Art Quartet Intimate and Enjoyable

An engaging, clear-cut program of chamber music was presented | last night at the John Herron Museum by the Musical Art Quartet of | New York. Scarce as such music is these

At 74, Miss Shannon still can be enthusiastic. In fact, she's somewhat of a phenomenon. Naturally she’s the senior member of the troupe, and one might assume, awaiting certain considerations. It seems, however, that this is exactly what she does not expect. As to Miss Crews, “Arsenic and Old Lace” is providing a pleasant sojourn from Hollywood. “Those cameras grinding are nothing like the reactions of a real audience,” Miss Crews observes.

Screen Will Get Cohan Biography

HOLLYWOOD, April 1 (U, P.).— George M. Cohan’s life story and | songs were being prepared today for screen presentation in a picture entitled “Yankee Doodle Dandy.” James Cagney will play the role of Cohan. The picture will include songs Cohan made popular, such as “I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy,”

“Over There,” “You're a Grand Old | Flag” and “American Rag Time.’ Cohan will supervise production.
