Wants to See His Play.

John VAN DRUTEN, 24-year-old
- author of Young Woodley," finds
himself in an unusual predicament.
Mr.. Van Druten wants very much
to see performa nee of his first brain
child. but is sadly hindered by the
simple fact that he is in Wales, un-
able to get away, and his play is at
the Belmont Theater, New York. He
may come later. he writes, when his
duties as lecturer in law at Abery
stwyth University reach the semes-
ter's end, but in the meantime it is
impossible.
Mr.. Van Druten has never seen
Glenn Hunter in person, and Glenn
plays the title role in the famous play.
He has. however, met him through
the great international medium, the
movies. For one day, after his play
had been produced in New York with
Mr. Hunter in the leading role of
Young Roger Woodley. he learned
that Merton of the Movies" was to be
given at a cinema theater in London.
Whereupon he obtained leave of alb
sence from his professional chair and
rushed down to see the movie.
A rather sad position for an
author-shackled abroad, never hav-
ing met producer of, or actors in, his
first play, which has proved hit of
the year.

NATIONAI-"NO, No, Nanette."

mo, No, Nanette," Fl. II. Frazee's
sparkling musical comedy, will return
to the National Theater tomorrow
night for a week with its brilliant
quartet Of stars, Julia Sanderson,
Donald Brian, Frank Crumit and Ona
Munson. The. entire company remains
the same as when the piece was pre-
sented here in December.
Otto Harbach and Frank Mandel
converted the latter's humorous farce.
MY Lady Friends" into a rollicking
musical comedy plot concerning the
troubles of a millionaire Bible pub
Usher Jimmie Smith, who is SO dis
turbed over the frugality of a cautious
wife that he spends his surplus funds
entertaining lady friends who live in
remote parts of the country. In
particular, there is Betty from Boston,
Winnie from Washington and Flora
from Frisco.
Vincent Youmans' composer, caught
the spirit of the comedy in his musical
score, and NO, No, Nanette" has been
called melody play that spreads hap
piness through cheer. It's outstanding
song being Il want to Be Happy"
Added to Miss Sanderson, Mr.. Brian
and Mr.. Crumit. Miss Munson brings
the charm of youthful vivacity, and
Virginia O'Brien, Jack McCauley, Eva
Mae Francis, Gladys Yates, Janet Hor-
ton and Irene Conner are others sur
rounding the stars. This will be the
last week of the Nationals regular
season.

Aristophanes, was put on late in the
week. 1t affords facility for a dis
play of the company's resources on
lines of Grecian classicism. The play
is so simple and direct in it's form
of narrative that it exemplifies how
preferable simple clarity of pur-
pose is to elaboration of complicated
