WINKLER REALLY MEANT 'QUITS'

HOLLYWOOD, May 6 (U. P.).— Jean Rogers thought her husband, Daniel M. Winkler, studio executive, was being “silly and temperamental” when he told her he wanted to live alone, but “he really meant it,” she testified in court. She was granted a divorce on a charge of cruelty after telling Judge Goodwin J. Knight that Mr. Winkler decided after six months of mar-

And that Raymond scamp falls in a well, which is good enough for

him.

Meantime, Keith's gets off to a rollicking start. The play is “George Washington Slept Here” and it was seen last night by a plentiful audience that left the theater laughing. If the opening performance is a key to the stage fare we're to have this summer, then co-Producers Martin Burton and James Daggett | are deserving of popular support in their hazardous venture.

The cast goes about its business in a sure manner and apparently Messrs. Burton and Daggett intend giving us some first-rate entertainment. A Kaufman-Hart comedy, of course, would be a wise choice for any opening. These two gentlemen write as funny a play as you'll see. For “George Washington Slept Here,” they took an office-laboring Mr. Fuller, who all his life wanted a piece of land he could call his own, and then they give him one of the most unfortunate houses probably in all New England. The roof leaks. There well. A nasty neighbor owns the only road approaching the place. On top of that, it turns out that it wasn’t Mr. Washington who slept there, after all, but the Traitor of Our Country instead. The play isn’t the funniest to come from the madhouse Kauf-man-Hart collaboration, but it'll do and nicely.

Miss Meskill Stars

LONG BEFORE the final cur- |

tain, Whitner Bissell as the harrassed Mr. Fuller will make you hope that the family gets to keep the old place in spite of all that nasty Mr. Prescott, played by Gordon Parker, can do. You'll probably be sympathizing, toe, with Mrs. Fuller, who overcomes her native hate of the rustic life and gets to love the house Just as the bank is about to close in. This role is taken by Katherine Meskill, an adroit actress. Thanks in part to a goodly portion of the audience which chose to be seated after the first-act curtain had been parted, last night's presenta tion got off to a beginning that wasn’t exactly zippy. During this interlude it was she (and Percy Helton as Mr. Kimber the hired man) who kept things running. Miss Meskill’'s role is favored with many of the best lines and by the second act, she had her colleagues reach a smooth, rapid pace. »

them being Mr. Kimber, the hired |

man, and Raymond, a young

nephew of Mrs. Fuller who should |

be sent to Boys Town.

Mr. Helton as Mr. Kimber is a | squeaky-voiced man who continu- |

ally is telling Mr. Fuller that “we're going to have to have another load of gravel” or that the 17-year locusts are due any time now. In many ways, Mr. Helton comes close to stealing the show. Raymond is neatly played by Raymond Roe, a youthful, curlyhaired fellow who finished his New York winter chores recently as the son of Howard Lindsey in “Life With Father.” Though obviously young, Mr. Roe is confident and adept. But while the favors are being
