n. Y. Producers
Plan Many
Shows

That the coming theatrical sea-
son will be the most active the
legitimate stage has known in
several years is made evident by
the production announcements Of
many of the more prominent pro-
ducers, among them Russell jan
ney, who has remained more or
less in seclusion since his memoir
able "The Vagabond King" and
white Eagle" It appears that
Mr.. Janney is preparing the most
active season he has undertaken
in his entire career as a producer
"a career which has included
such productions as "Marjolaine," I"
with Peggy Wood; "Sancho Panza,"
with Otis Skinner; four produc-
tions of "The Vagabond King" in
America and one which enjoyed
an entire years run in London;
white Eagle" and several dra-
matte plays.
Mr.. Janney's first production,
which now seems to be reaching
the rehearsal stage, will be an
operetta based on an original play
by Justin Huntley Mccarthy,
from whose "If I Were King" was
fashioned the highly successful
"Vagabond King" The new work,
as yet untitled, has a libretto by
Brian Hooker and Mr.. Janney.
and a musical score by Franklin
Hauser, a new composer for whom
the producer predicts a brilliant
career. Such grand opera bari.
tones as Lawrence Tibbett and
John Charles Thomas are said to
have waxed enthusiastic over Mr..
Franklin's music.
Since Mr.. Janney also has ac-
cepted a score by Hugo Felix for a
production based on a continental
play produced in Budapest and
Vienna, and has had Rudolf Friml
at work for some time on the
music for an original operetta, in
dicationS are that he will present
more than one ambitious musical
during the approaching season.
From sources close to Mr.. Janney
it has been learned that he has
under consideration a revival Of
THE Vagabond King" with prac-
tically the entire original cast that
appeared during it's run of So
weeks at the old Casino Theater,
New York.
The production plans Of other
prominent managers forecast a
decidedly lively season for the le-
gitimate stage, with more than the
customary New York productions.
as well as added attractions to be
offered on the road.

quent after-theater rendezvous.
Coupling them with a romantic
inference, Of course. On one Of
the rare occasions when JolSon
visited a New York night club
he was embarrassed later by one
of the gossip paragraphs. To give
Mr.. Winchell full credit, he
abandoned this night club Cupid
guessing long ago.
Author Winchell thinks the
whole thing is fine advertising
for the story which he has writ
ten for the movies. Which it is.
Since Mr.. Jolson claims that the
yarn turned out by the columnist
for Daryl Zanuck parallels too
closely the Jolson-Ruby Keeler ro-
nance, Al says he will ask Will
Hays to stop the plan to pro-
duce the story unless it is revised.
The Winchell defense is the
story is entirely original.
One juicy item that escaped
all the gossip paragraphers was
that a few weeks before Ruby
Keeler married AL Jolson, and
while she was playing a tap dance
engagement at the Fox in Wash
ington she made arrangements to
be married here. But not to AL
Jolson. To another of her suitors.
She changed her mind and her
plans when she yielded to the Jol-

WHO ARE YOU?
The Romance Of Your Name
BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS

Hall were descended from Howell Dha
and the ancient Kings Of South Wales.
The first to write himself Owen as a
surname was Roland Owen, sheriff Of
Montgomeryshire, in 1910.
Another seat of the family was Glyn-
ATOM and still another was Orielton.
One of the first of the Owens to come
to America was Rev. Robert, who was
licensed for service in Maryland by the
Bishop of London in 1899. Upon his
arrival in the province he was made
rector of st. Paul's Parish in Prince
Georges County, where many of his
descendants live They are also found
in Frederick and Montgomery Counties,
Md, as well as in many of the other
States.
Early settlers of this family in the
New England States were John, who To-
Gated in Windsor, Conn, in 1645.
Samuel, an inkeeper of Brookfeld.
Mass, in 1888: Thomas, member of
the Boston Artillery Company, in 1899:

hardly say that person had hand

When cooking such vegetables
as carrots, spinach, turnips and
cauliflower, cook twice the
amount needed for one meal.
Half may be served plain the
first day and the other half
creamed the second day.
In selecting fruits for making
jellies, always procure those
which are somewhat underripe.
Fruits in order to make good
jelly must contain pectin. If
fruit is overripe, pectm is not
found in it.

vanced bidding not to be ATTEMPTED
In an untried partnership, but with
good partner there is not much risk
in using unusual methods to unearth
duplication and either arrive at or
else keep out of a grand slam. For
instance, If you picked up such hand

your bid would be one heart, and your
my hearts are not headed by K @ j;
if they were, I could make three bid

response is three hearts. Now you
know that a small slam is sure; your
partner cannot have justification in
primary values for his bid unless he
has two aces. The question for grand
slam Is this-Which two aces has he?
or, more precisely, IF there is an ace
out against us, which is it?" The
first thing is to find out about the
spades, SO your rebid had better be
three spades.

cannot tell you anything useful about
