HAYWOOD BROUN
 GOT AWAY WITH SHOOT THE WORKS
Various Critics Handled Him and His Show in Various and Humorous Ways

New York, July 22.--CUP)-- Haywood Broun. columnist, social ist candidate for congress, advo- cate of birth control and almost a-crusader, shot the works last night as manager. producer and participant in Shoot the Works" an unconventional Broadway re- vue, that critics agreed to-day threw crooked dice" and cant fall.
 appeared a winner as "a cooper ative", the Daily News critics in dicated, referring to the produc- ton of the revue on a co-opera- tive basis by Broun and Milton Raison to relieve the unemploy- ment situation among stage folk of Broadway.
 Every sketch, every act, every song was donated. And among them some "hits" were cited by the first critics to report.
 "Shoot the Works" the Times said, "is a swell show-if you hap pen to like MT Broun. Forum ately, lot of people do.' Broun had asked the critics in curtain speech to give the show constructive criticism, the kind that starts out. It's a swell show and build up from there.' That the Times critic did.
 Broun's histronic art has ad- vanced, that paper said, but his singing still leaves something to be desired.' At times, 1t continued. Tt is relief to escape such perfection" as professional Broad way revues offer the playgoer.
 Probably" the Herald Tribune pointed out, mo midsummer open ing ever drafted into New York or chestra stalls an audience more willing and more anxious to be pleased"
 1t ranks "easily among the most entertaining revues shown in New York in long time." the Ameri- can said.
 Among those who contribute their bit to it's success are Dor othy Parker, Nunnally Johnson, Peter Arno. Irving Berlin. Mi chael Cleary, Philip Charig, Jay Gorney, Vernon Duke, Max and Nathaniel Lief.
 If. as 1t appears. Broun wins in "Shoot the Works, other parti- cipants will, for it's cooperative, and anyway. as one critic put it, the shows good for a couple of columns for Broun.
