"I mean just that" Miss
Powers adds. American pro-
ducers seem to have an obsession
in favor of the foreign output,
and their desks are crowded at
the same time with the work OF
talented American playwrights
awaiting production.
ION my last visit to Europe
spent much time in the English
and French theaters," Miss Pow
ers explains. II saw two plays
which were big hits on the Con.
tinent. They were packing the
audiences in but my own judg.

said to myself while was watch
ing 1t, This would never go in
America Either it would have
to undergo deodorization in the
adaptation to American standards
or played as saw it in London,
some of its forceful humor and
situations would flop through
being misunderstood.
Imagine my amazement
to learn a few weeks later that
two American producers were
bidding against each other for
the rights. One Of them got 1t.
It died in two weeks and never
got to Broadway. Now he is
having it rewritten for the second
time in a hope to salvage some
Of the hard-earned dollars he ac-
cumulated on straight American
plays.
1.-THE other play I have In mind
was a big success in Paris. But
1t was entirely a play Of types.
And the American producer who
has secured the rights and is
going ahead with production is
casting the piece with native ac-
tors. I can't see where 1t has
q chance.
ST really think that Americans
do farce better than the Gallo
authors. Not that it matters. but
my opinion is IL American play
wrtghts got half the chance that
some of their foreign contem-
poraries do. we would have more
genuine hits, and more real
American plays. I'm for the
American playwright because I
think he knows more about our

Sylvia Sidney is only II. When
she appears at Polls this new
week in Ashley Miller's play,
THE Challenge Of Youth" which
Boothe, Gleason and Truck are
presenting, it will be the first
time she has appeared on the
stage professionally. The youth
full leading lady loves the stage
and loves to play. This burning
desire burst into red-hot flame
when her mother consented to
let her study at the Theater Guild
School to learn the art of acting.
Her chance came in "Prunella, ;"
a play staged by Winthrop Ames.
That expert producer guided Miss
Sidney splendidly for she gave a
performance which touched the
hearts of many. Among the
hearts effected was one large one

Mr.. Roberts role Of Doctor
Mueller, a German scientist, in
