2nd GREAT WEEK!
By FREDERICK ‘C. OTHMAN United Press Hollywood Correspondent
HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 13.—Ciro’s,|§ the plush-lined hot spot of the movie stars and perhaps Amerjca’s most expensive night club, shut its silver-plated doors today because—to quote the proprietor— the erstwhile customers have packed their ermines away and gone into mourning over the war. “The tourists used to come to see]: the picture actors,” reported William R. Wilkerson, the owner, “now, there aren’t any tourists. They've been scared away by the wild-eyed rumors about air raids in Holly-| wood. Either that or they're afraid to use up their automobile tires.” “And there aren’t any movie stars in the night spots, anyhow. They all seem to have gone into mourning over Pearl Harbor.” Since Dec. 7, Mr. Wilkinson said, the burgundy-satin walls have echoed to the footfalls of his lonesome waiters, while his chartreusesilk chairs have been occupied only occasionally by customers paying $3.50 for dinner, $2 for the privilege of sitting down, and 75 cents and up, mostly up, for their drinks. The only loyal fans have been the autograph seekers at the front door. “But what happened to us is only an example,” Mr. Wilkerson said. “Since the Japs attacked Pearl Harbor, 61 night clubs in this territory have shut down. Others are turning on their lights on weekends only. There simply is no business. “You can talk all you want about a place like Ciro’s being a movie actors’ second home, but the truth is that the tourists were responsible for 70 per cent of our business. They came to see the movie stars.”

THE CAST
“CLAUDIA”—A play in three acts by Rose Franken; produced by John Golden presented by the Theatre Guild an directed by the playwright; setting by Donald Qehslaer, opened at English’s on Jan. 12 with the following cast: rs. Brown bi David Naughton Claudia Naughton...

tion in which every question had a ready answer. But, of course, there has to be some darkness sometime. It comes in the second act. Upon returning home from work, David Naughton finds Claudia in another man’s arms, his farm home committed to be sold his mother-in-law fatally ill —and himself about to become a father. Life begins to pile up on Claudia and David fast. Claudia thought it would be interesting to let another man kiss her, for she found that the feeling it gave her really was for her husband. “Can’t you understand, it was all for you,” Claudia asks David. And the fabulous thing is, it really was. And he believes it, too, though, of course, it’s not quite as easy as that. Without her husband’s knowledge, she agrees to sell their home, explaining to the buyer (the opera singer) that although they have no mortgages, they do have a little brook on the place. Mortgages, it developed earlier, are a matter that Claudia simply can’t understand. Upon finding that her husband
Robert Young and Hedy LaMarr have fun together in “H. M.

one notices her low-heeled shoes, sweater and skirt, wide-open eyes, her girlish twistings. Separately, all of those things are but trifies. Assembled, they arrive at something which one remembers with the warm glow of nostalgic pleasure. Miss Ellis makes of Claudia a young wife whom one will gladly recall, discuss and regularly decide is an altogether attractive person. Liesl Neumann and Murray O'Neill are notably excellent as the housekeepers. Stephen Chase is a miraculously patient and loving husband. Gage Clarke makes a good neighbor, slightly on the wolfish side. Suzanne Caubaye is a properly impetuous opera singer.
had a couple of thousand dollars left over after buying the place, she wants to know what he did with it. “Put it in mortgage?” she asks. And so it goes with Claudia. Her one vice is listening in on the party telephone line. She likes pickles and the back of her husband’s neck. She wonders if she has sex appeal. All is happy like this until Claudia finds life becoming more complex. She is going to have a baby. Her mother is going to die. It is thus that the young, unknowing wife begins to grow up, to become the solid, great woman | that her husband had inherently |
