NEXT TIME you write a play, remember that it pays to make the dramatic critic the only sane person in it. It is also a slight help to make it so fresh it sticks out its tongue at you and so original that the lady hehind the so-called critic exclaims, quite audibly:
The reason it pays is: (1) you a good reviews from the sour-
“As brother Johnathan, he is as
of nightmares.
A Fault in Direction?
pusses the papers send around on free passes to see your play; (2) you get your name printed on programs, and (3) you make about $10,000 2 week plus what Holly=wood pays for the rights. So, next time you write a play, remember all these things, espe=cially about the critic. If it is as funny as “Arsenic and Old Lace” you have very little to worry about, except as to how you will spend your money. “Arsenic and Old Lace” came back to English’s last night and so did a good many people who saw it there last year. I have visions of “Arsenic” becoming a perennial, because I cannot see how it can go out of date. I see high school seniors doing it in 1952, the way they still do “The Goose Hangs High” and other classics which have dropped the performance fee. i 2 "

Forrest Orr, as Teddy Roosevelt Brester, comes close second. His charge up San Juan hill is a top piece of running stage business. Effie Shannon as Martha Brest« er, and Laura Hope Crews as Abby are the last word in maiden aunts, the very last word. Comes now the irony. As a sane dramatic critic, Jack Whiting turns in a flabby performance. The trouble, I think, is that his consternation register is too high for the audience. His viewing with alarm is done in the manner of the man on, the receiving end of a custard pie. It is overdone, slapstickily. ’ .8 0»
‘Don't Talk,’
A GROUP OF POLICE officials and defense plant public relations men assembled at the Paramount screening room yesterday to see MGM's timely short, “Don’t Talk.” Here is a punchy, exciting picture which tells you why everybody must shut up, and what happens when people don’t. Indianapolis theaters haven't booked the short yet and it may not be shown locally here for a month. It is for release im- | mediately, however, anywhere in Indiana.

8s =» * Down Argentine Way
TO GATHER MATERIAL for the March of Time’s latest film “The Argentine Question,” an M. O, T. camera crew hasbeen working in the Argentine for the last 10 months. Subject of the film: Argentina's difficulty in justifying her neutrality in the eyes of other South American republics. Today's New York communique concerning bandstands the band can't stand. One bandleader has subdivided them as the “West ern Union” bandstand, where the rhythm section is so far apart they have to beat off the tempo by telegraph; the “slave-ship” stand, where eight sax players and a bull fiddler are sardined into five square feet, and the “echo in the valley” bandstand where the acoustics are such that you can hear the first chorus just after finishing the second.

Both Miss Adams and Mr, Whit= ing are new to the cast which otherwise is the same as last year. Perhaps that makes the «difference. Perhaps they seem weak in the glow of older and more adept performers. Maybe here is a fault in direction which apparently attempts to have them play straight as foils for the lunatics running around the set. Perhaps their paleness is a commentary on the play itself which brushes aside everything that does not fit comfortably into its amusing madhouse: There is, however, an overall excellence in the production and timing of “Arsenic” which helps it to be what it is—a top flight comedy with a touch of genius as well ag madness to it. And the tendency is to say, as did the lady behind the so-called | critic: “Well, I never ., ™ I never saw ‘anything like it, either,
