HIRTY- EIGHT productions were
reported to be in rehearsal In
and around New York last
week. prior to taking to the road and
then inviting the critical lightning in
New York. This was double the num-
ber of shows ever known to be getting
ready to make audiences hysterical at
one time around this time of year.
That means that managerial optimism
Is now double what 1t was at any
other time-in other words. it Is now
practically infinite.
But business has been going so well
in the city Of late, with at least rs
per cent. of the shows doing more
than breaking even--a healthy sign.
especially in the usually tickle period
before the Christmas holidays-that
producers feel more than justified In
making the leap to the footlights now.
Sam Shipman has gone to Atlantic
City to write a new play for Fay
BANTER, for whom, In collaboration
with John B. Hymer. he plotted East
Is West" Whether the new play has
the wearing qualities of the last or not.
it is a safe bet that it will have a title
OF similar Einsteinian reversibility.
Shipman is now working alone, but
his titles still go double. While William
Harris, Jr, was conducting the re-
search magnificent for a new play for
Miss BANTER last spring. Shipman had
play ready to fall in his lap. The
manager declined this piece, but now
he has reverted to the Shipman serv-
ice station for the drama after all. 1t
will be a new play-new, that is, as
most plays of the sure fire variety go.
Incidentally there seems to be some
uncertainty whether THE Painted
Lady" is on the shelf after all, for
Harris seems to have decided to make
use of the title of "The Lady Cris-
tilinda" after spending all that thought
on a name with which it could crash
into New York. Probably it will be
held in allegiance until Harris sees
what Shipman uncovers.
Edward Sheldon has just completed a
new play after a long spell Of Sphinx
! like quiet. Announcement about this
piece will soon flash through the
highways and byways of the city.
