 Said the barber who was scraping the double deck chin of a policeman: Towns lively; several shows here. " Yes" muttered the guardian of the peace, dodging the deadly weapon. T have pass for the new one that opens tonight. Whats the name?'' "Sapho," said the barber. No, that ain't it." Out of the deep bottomed blue pocket came the envelope of a lithographing firm. "Sapho, noth- ing. Look here and read, if you can. The show is Litho."

 Paul Scott as he looked over his desk at the Darcy and Wolford agency and extended far out into the hall, but that Is the one word that tells what the situation is going to be this fall, in my opinion, SO far as the actor is concerned. There will be literally thousands of them unable to obtain engagements this year.
