Kaufman-Hart Comedy Opens Monday.
The New York cast for “George Washington Slept Here,” Keith's first presentation when it opens Monday night, arrives in town at| noon today and immediately starts] dress rehearsal. Director of the new company is Edward Shugrue, who was asso- | ciated with co-Producer Martin | Burton in his recent production of
: “Morning Star” in New York.
“George Washington Slept Here” | is a bucolic comedy by George! Kaufman and Moss Hart about buying a place in the country and | “fixing it over.” Newton Fuller, to be played by young Whitner Bissell, buys an old | house in Pennsylvania because he | is intrigued by the legend that the | Father of Our Country once slept] there. His wife is Annabelle, who | is not so keen on the “country life.” | The role will be taken by Katherine Meskill.
Thetre’s a Neighbor
The daughter is Madge, to be | portrayed by Betty Goodrich. | Madge’s romantic interest is a young engineer, the role to be] played by William Roerich, who | last year was cast opposite Con-| stance Bennett in Noel Coward's “Easy Virtue.” Percy Helton, whom Indianapolis | may remember for his roles in the] Gregory Kelly and Ruth Gordon | company, will take the part of) Mr. Kimber, the whimsical Pennsylvania farmhand. For the part of Mrs. Douglas,| next-door neighbor, Mr. Burton and | {his producing partner, James Dag-| | gett, have chosen Mary Condon.| {Clayton Evans, as the actor who is| |in Pennsylvania for the summer] (theater, will be portrayed by Gor-| don Parker, and his wife by Valerie! Cossart.
| Rickabaugh Well Known
Miss Cossart’s father, Ernest, was a familiar Indianapolis figure in the “old days of Keith's.” | The role of Uncle Stanley, the] “wealthy relative” who demands his {share of attention, will be played by | | Walter Gilbert, whose last Indian-| | apolis appearance was with Ger{trude Lawrence in “Skylark.” | Raymond, the incorrigible young (nephew left for safe-keeping with {the Fullers during a Reno divorce, {will be portrayed by Raymond Roe. | Stage manager for the new com{pany is Clive Rickabaugh, young | Missouri artist who recently has been assoctated with the Ruth Page| | ballet as costume designer. Mr. | Rickabaugh long has served in a| | similar capacity for Katherine Dun-| (ham, young dancer recently here | with Ethel Waters in “Cabin in the Sky.” He also designed the set for “Swing Mikado,” the WPA’s hot version of the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta.

ciate it.
The boys hope vou appre-
The itinerary takes us to New Orleans, Colorado, Broadway and to some fictitious, mean city, say Chicago, And all this in addition to the personal appearance of Eddy Duchin, his hands and his band. Statistically, it’s like this, come tomorrow: LOEW'S—"Ziegfeld Girl,” M-G-M’s super-duper for the year with the following all-star lineup: James Stewart, Judy Garland, Hedy
Lamarr; Lana Turner, Tony Martin, Jackie Cooper, Ian Hunter, Charles Winninger, Edward Everett Horton and that old vaudeville veteran, Al Shean. The second feature will be “The Penalty,” a story of crime and righteousness, starring Edward Arnold, Lionel Barrymore, Marsha Hunt, Robert Sterling and Gene Reynolds. LYRIC—Mr. Duchin and his orchestra will be on the stage, plus such added attractions as Songstress June Robbins, the Three Bar Benders, and the Merriel Abbott International dancers, featuring Valerie Thon, and the Nonchalants. The screen offering will be “Mr. District Attorney,” movie takeoff on the radio thriller and starring Dennis O'Keefe, Florence Rice, Peter Lorre and Stanley Ridges. CIRCLE—"The Flame of New Orleans,” a lusty movie about the Crescent City in the gay days of 1841. Marlene Dietrich, who you may have noticed did some powerful kissing for the sake of science this week, is the big name. As an auxiliary, there is the husbandwife combination, Dick PowellJoan Blondell, in “Model Wife.” And I recall that some club or something recently chose Miss Blondell as just that. INDIANA—“The Lady From Cheyenne,” wherein one little school teacher (Loretta Young) makes a lot of nasty men in a frontier Colorado town (Laraville) say “uncle.” The second feature is a supreme example of underexploitation. It presents no less than two Academy Award winners, jinger Rogers and James Stewart, in “Vivacious Lady.” ” »
Last of Ziegfeld?
THE LATE, GREAT Florenz Ziegfeld's right-hand man was William Anthony MeGuire. Mr. McGuire wrote and directed Ziegfeld's most successful stage extravaganzas and he wrote his biography. But when he finished the seript of Loew's movie, “Ziegfeld Girl)” Mr. MeGuire died. And so this possibly (and only possibly) may be the last Hollywood does with the glorifier of the American beauty. In the particular work at hand, the emphasis is on beauty and costumes and music. Those three components are hung on a story detailing the lives of three girls (the Misses Garland, Lamarr and Turner) who are chosen for Ziegfeld glorification. Miss Garland and Mr. Martin handle most of the music and some of the titles you may he whistling this time next week are: “You Stepped Out of a Dream,” “We Must Have Music,” “Carib= bean Love Song,” "Minnie from Trinidad,” “I'm Always Chasing Rainbows,” “Laugh, I Thought I'd Split My Side” and “Mr. Gal= lagher and Mr. Shean.” The latter numer is one known to thousands of yesteryear’s vaude-
tomers. And movie stars particu= larly fall into this sorry classifica tion. But not Mr. Duchin, of the piano. From several years of paying to see Lyric shows, we'd rate Mr. Duchin as one of the dozen best attractions booked there. He is a young man of fine taste and his shows carry it out. Besides the acts mentioned here already, the audiences will hear Lew Sherwood, singing trumpeter; Tony Leonard, romantic song styl= ist, and Johnny Drake, singer= saxophonist. The Lyric movie, “Mr. District Attorney,” gives us Mr. Arnold as a completely nasty gangster of the old school. Gr-r-r!

In “The Lady From Cheyenne" (Indiana), Miss Young wins a young lawyer (Robert Preston) who originally was out to squeeze little Loretta through a financial wringer. Miss Young is sweet but militant and right wins, not only a new law aliowing women to serve on juries but Mr. Preston. Ever ‘on the watch for local angles, here's the one on the Cheyenne Lady.
