It's Food Appeal ' That Gets 'Em

HOLLYWOOD, Apr. 16 (UP)

—A movie producer-director believes the movie scenes you remember ‘best are the ones that ‘show the glamorous star diying eagerly into a plate of food. You can leave out the clinches

He doesn’t know whom he’s going to get for his next picture, “The Glittering Hill,” for instance, but | he does know all about the scenes in which the characters prepare, contemplate, talk about, . eat and dawdle over food. Mr. Bacon has kept detailed notes of scene-by-scene audience reactions to his own and other pictures.

Oscar Wilde Play at English’s, Civic to Present ‘Thunder Rock’

Cornelia Otis Skinner in ‘Lady Windermere's Fan’;

Dorothy Maynor at Bloomington; Philharmonic Concert Monday By HENRY BUTLER

CORNELIA OTIS SKINNER in “Lady

Windermere's Fan” (English, Thursday)

and the Civic's April production, “Thunder Rock” (Friday), are next week's big

theatrical events.

Some important concerts also are scheduled, of which more later.

“LADY WINDERMERE'S FAN,” one of the most celebrated late 19th-century comedies of manners, scarcely needs introduction. Homer Curran-Russell Lewis-Howard Young revival of Oscar Wilde's brilliant play is remarkable not only for its cast, but also for its staging.

Costumes, decor and accessories, including |

elaborate furniture, bric-a-brac, tables laden

| with silver-framed portraits and all the trap-

pings of wealth and fashion in the 1800s, are

quire a new dimension.

The Civic's “Thunder Rock,” a fantasy, concerns a lighthouse-keeper ‘in northern Lake

Michigan just before World War II. Charleston, |

the lightkeeper, has sought refuge in a solitary job from the growing chaos in the world.,

LE aE IN SOLITUDE, Charleston develops a dream

| life and talks with dream-characters who grdd. | ually persuade him to conquer his pessimism

about the world.

“Thunder Rock” was first produced by the Group Theater of New York in November, 1939,

| and hence probably preserves the common atti- | | tude of that period toward the approaching war.

People then seemed to think the war, although likely to be terrible, might also be a final war, Incidentally, the play originally was staged by Elia Kazan, who recently has done a marvelous job with the filming of “Gentleman's Agreement.” Sv » &

CONCERTS for the coming week start with

| an organ recital by Parvin Titus, organist of

Cincinnati's Christ Church, at 4:30 p. m. to-

| morrow in Zion Evangelical Church, New Jer-

sey and North Sts. Mr. Titus’ appearance here will be sponsored by the Cincinnati Conservatory Club of Indiana. : Although this column usually stays close to home, it should mention Dorothy Maynor's re-
