Breadway—
Ginger r Top
Draw in Stage Play
By JACK GAVER United Press Staft Correspondent
NEW YORK, Sept. 22—Because Ginger Rogers in the flesh apparintly is the one person theaterfoers want to see after 20 years ¥f watching her shadow on movie icteens, Anthony Farrell is able 0 indulge in a luxury seldom pranted stage producers. To use a cliche of the trade, ‘Love and Let Love” Miss Rogers’ vehicle, “needs work” before it 1s submitted to the cold stares of the Broadway critics. All shows do for that matter, which is the reason for the one to four-week tryout tours prior to New York. But the average producer with
. Jhe average show can’t afford to
tay out more fhan a month and that length of time 1s not the rule. Even productions that betome tremendous hits nearly al-
. ways lose money in the bryomt
weeks.
MISS ROGERS, however, is an txception. Farrell first presented he play in New Haven. Conn., on Aug. 27 to be followed by two ¥eeks in Philadelphia and one in Washington. The Broadway openTR was set for Bept. 25. "Reports from these stops credted Miss Rogers with a great rsonal triumph but indicated t Louis Verneuil's. comedy wasn't quite ' ready. However, Susiness was capacity or better it all points and Farrell actually fas been making instead of losng money on the tour. This has made it possible for the producer to decide to postpone next week's opening In New York and add three weeks to the tryout trip. Business warrants a second week in Washing lon after which two weeks will be spent in Boston. Broadway will see it after Boston.
2a IN New York there is! of $250,000 already in|
Pear box office, only $100,000 of it representing theater parties. The Jest came from tickets sold over the counter or by mail order. Farrell suspects that this is the largest advance ever enjoyed by a nonmusical show. One thing that has complicated script revisions during the tour has been the ill health of the author. Verneuil is present and working, but is not able to do so with his usual vigor. Farrell probably will call in a play doctor to help him during the remaining three weeks out of an. Verneuil also has the chore of directing. - Another unusual feature of this play is the financing. In days when a show is apt to 50 or 100 backers kicking pot with anything from $100 to a few thousand, all but $3500 of the $50,000 needed to produce “Love and Let Love” was provided by two persons—the producer and the star,
FARRELL, of course, can afford it. He is the Albany millionaire who descended on Broadway in 1948 with nothing but a fondness for the theater and began learning about Backing and producing plays the hard way—by losing a lot of money, So far he apparently has put well over $1.5 million into the business, but this includes the purchase of a large theater which he renamed the

Logical Thinking Can Give - t Formula for Squeeze Play
Follow Mr. Abel's thinking on
‘ this hand as he discovered,
through logical and simple reasoning, one of the essential prin- . ciples of the squeeze play. The king of spades was opened and taken by dummy's ace. Surveying his prospects, Mr. Abel saw seven winners in hearts, one in spades, one in diamonds and two in clubs. Eleven in all—and one short of his contract,
IT LOOKED LIKE only a squeeze could develop that 12th trick. What about a squeeze on Mrs, Keen in clubs and spades? It would work if she had her
. side’s only stoppers in the black
suits. In the club suit, she would have to have both queen and jack or any five clubs. In spades she would have to hold both queen and jack and that seemed likely on the bidding and the play to the first trick. Mr. ‘Abel applied the formula I have recommended to check on a squeeze, Mrs, Koen had to retain a first round winner in spades. Therefore she had to hold only one card in that suit.
rw» o
SHE HAD TO HOLD a third
round winner in clubs, which .
meant she had to retain three cards in that suit—a total of four cards. Now, if Mr. Abel could play out nine more tricks outside of the potential squeeze suits (spades and clubs), that
