A TALENTED ABSENTEE,
THIS FERBER

In view of the enormous in
come that Fannie Hurst, the
short-story writer, has derived
from screen adaptations Of her
works, including the immortal
''Humoresque," it seems a. bit
odd that so few of the stories of
another and equally famous
writer, Edna Ferber, reach the
silver sheet.
The presentation at Loews
Palace for the week beginning
tomorrow afternoon of Welcome
Home" a cinema adaptation OF
mans 'tMinnick." marks one or
the very few Edna Ferber stories
that have ever been seen in photo
play form. This seems particular
" strange in view of this writer's
fame and ability.
Incidentally, Miss Ferber is
credited by the wise men of Times
Square with being the unwilling
instrument of circumstances in
the definite split-up of the writ
ing firm Of George S. Kaufman
and Marc Connolly, coauthors of
"Dulcy," ITO the Ladies" Beg
gar on Horseback" and other big
footlight hits of recent seasons.
The Kaufman-Connellv team
had no sooner come to prominence
in the American theater that
certain cynics, remembering the
lamentable split Of the Kern-Bol-
on-Wodehouse musical comedy
syndicate, predicted a sooner-or-
later split of Kaufman ana Con-
nelly, that brilliant pair Of young
Pittsburghers whose talents so
superbly dovetailed in the writing
of American genre satire.
