latest as opposition for "I'm No

"Sailor Beware" is the play
which has Broadway talking and
patronizing the spectators. The
movies are bidding for it furiously.
Funny part of it is that it's
the same story the movies have
told 100 times in various forms
such as what Price Glory" :"
"Girl in Every PORT" and other
low down cinema yarns. The
plot concerns a rowdy fellow on
the make who tries to win good
cabaret girl and being unsuccess-
full in his diShonorable intentions,
switches his technique and ends
up by marrying her.
This is so familiar to motion
picture critics that such a vet
eran as Richard Watts, jr.
scratches his head and ponders,
"Do the playgoers of Broadway
ever get close to a motion pic
ture screen?" Mr.. Watts thinks
the success of Sailor Beware"
indicates it is all new stuff to
