Unusual Needs.

By TOM WOLF Times Special Writer NEW YORK, July 24.— “Jean Rosenthal Theater Production Service, New York. For forthcoming productions need two ostriches (alive), group stuffed seagulls, 12 yards seaweed, 1890 dentist chair; also stage director. Rush immediately.—Civic Repertory Players.” This strange telegram contains requests that are merely run of the mill to Jean Rosenthal, whose

‘|unique Theater Production service

has’ been called the “mail order house of the theater.” Started in late 1939 as a service for busy Broadway producers, T., P. S. now serves some 2000 theaters— civic and community, summer “straw hat” and Broadway “legit.” In addition, some 10,000 school and col-

| lege drama groups have called on

Miss Rosenthal for aid, comfort and

theatrical equipment. Spot Plays by Properties

The T. P. S. will sell or rent anything and everything needed for a stage production—from blueprints for building a stage to sets and electrical equipment and from costumes and properties to designers, technicians and business managers. “We've gotten so that we can spot most plays for which our orders are destined,” said Miss Rosenthal. “The stuffed seagulls and the seaweed in this telegram, for example, are a dead giveaway that the production is ‘Ladies in Retirement.’ We've already had over 35 requests for these properties since this chiller was a Broadway hit only a couple of years ago.” Other regular demands include the hat case for “Night Must Fall,” the mummy case for “The Man Who Came to Dinner,” and Yorick’s skull for the inevitable “Hamlet.” Hunting a 1902 Car

Any costume or period play brings Miss Rosenthal a flood of fairly complicated requests. The toughest thing she’s ever been asked to track down was a 1902 car. Complete equipment for haunted houses, including the cobwebs, is an old story to her. In the sound department (yes, she supplies this, too) a typical

camping out in a luxurious 12-room house, even if her estranged husband does. Armed with a court order, she sought today to keep her prominent director-husband, Louis King, from completing the auction that left her and her two children sleeping on the floor in one part of the house while he camped in another.

The dispute began Nov, 1, 1941,

when King and the actress separated. The separation, however far matrimonially, was just across the hall in a geographical sense. Three weeks ago they agreed to sell the furniture. “Everytime I'd come home there'd be something else missing,” Miss King said today. First the chairs, then the tables, the lamps and finally the bed.” Miss King. locked the doors in her part of the house and managed to hang onto enough mattresses for herself and children. King kept to his part of the house. He has started a divorce action. Miss King entered a cross-com-plaint,

VOICE rom the Baico

by RICHARD LEWIS

Pinch-Hitting at Keith's

ALONG ABOUT 1:30 p. m.. yesterday, I am waiting quiefl the next show in the office of Manager Anton Scibilia at Ki dozing a little, maybe, when the phone rings. There being ric

around in a position of authority, I pick it up and immediately es:

lish a friendly contact with a patron. The patron is a lady who tells me she is anxious to see the

and would I object if she brought along her nine months old baby. Why should I object? It's Mr. Scibilia’s theater and I am only a guest in the house. So I tell her sure, bring the little one along. So I relax again in the swivel chair, confident that I have pro tected Mr. Scibilia’s interest adequately, for after all his is a family theater, when, zing, the phone goes again. This time the patron is one of the younger set, maybe about 12 or 13 years old, and he wants to know, “What's cookin’?”” I recite the bill and he wants to know is it any good. Well, I am stumped. I am sup-

posed to be the critic and I.

haven’t taken a look at the show and this patron wants to know if it’s any good. So I compromise with the statement that the picture is “Escape From Hongkong” and there is plenty of shootin’ in it. “Swell,” says the youngster. I have chalked up another customer for Mr. Scibilia and I hope I have done the right thing by the customer. So I go in to see the show. ” 2 ”

| Didn't Do Wrong AS IT TURNS out, I didn’t do anybody wrong. It is a good show. There is plenty of shootin’ in “Escape From Hongkong,” a spy picture, and the Stage show is strictly okay. I am moved at this time to comment upon the singing of Frankie Parrish, WIRE's ballad singer, who has a pleasing tenor voice and who delivers his songs nicely. He is one of the attrac tions of the show and while he was entertaining I didn’t hear a peep out of the nine months old baby wherever he or she might have been located. Well, there is Bob Evans, ventriloquist. of exceptional talent, who can give Edgar Bergen some pretty fair competition. He has a line of chatter which is fresh and entertaining and the charac-

ter of the dummy is definitely

humorous. : ” ” ”

The Baby Behaved

THE McKAYS, a brother-sister dancing act, are tops. This lady

“and gent are good dancers, a fact

which is buried somewhat in their comedy routine. The m. c. is Jackie Herbert who performs the usual sleight-of-hand and tells a couple of jokes I heard at Keith’s in previous shows. However, he will do. The three Gasco brothers are tumblers, very good, if you like tumbling which always seems to me like a waste of energy. The extravaganza number is an Egyp-

tian dance performed by the “Girl

Friends,” a ‘chorus, and Muriel Baige who does a couple of exotic routines, the kind you sneaked in to see when you visited the entertainment section of the world fair, only this time it's for the entire family. All in all, it is a pretty fair show. And with the experience in mind, I feel free to sit behind Mr. Scibilia’s telephone and make recommendations. And let me tell you, for a citizen of only nine months, that baby was very well behaved.
