New Priestley Play

(the skillful playwright alone can
command, is likely to provoke a good
deal of comment everywhere.
Is this ultra-respectably seeming
and thoroughly charming and dis
arming paterfamilias really a worthy
and worthwhile citizen, or is he, as
he himself confesses with delightful
inSouciance and bubbling humor, "a
wolf in sleeps clothing" or villain,
a counterfeiter and forger in disguise?
Suffice it to say that the author has
himself satirically described, with
probably no whit less humor than
the leading part is so delightfully."-

Edmund Gwenn, as IAN immoral

the homes they have learned to call
homes in Hollywood, spending that
lone day away from the studios with
the families they see only now and

If we had sufficient gold (and no
body but Midas would, we should like
to stop by the houses of some of
these stars and give them the follow

On North Bristol avenue we'd toss
an orchid in at Joan Crawford's win

Others"
On North Bristol avenue we'd put
red-hot coal in Barbara Stanwyck's
stocking for certain remarks she made
about Washington.
On North Bristol avenue we'd tell
Mr.. Gable he was a good guy for
punching that fellow in the nose at
the Marion Davies benefit orgy at the
Biltmore, and give him a barrel of
cigars for what he did to Men in

Down the road a quarter of a mile,
on North Cliffwood avenue, we'd stop
and give Franchot Tone a new scotty

Of that one scene in Gentlemen Are
Born" in which he reminded us that
gentlemen really are born.
Over hill and down towards Mali

to that long pink house, where we'd
give thanks for its occupant having
been able to make something out of
that dour Painted Veil" That would
be Garbo.
Down at Malibu Beach itself, we'd
walk straight into any one of the
three Bebe Daniels-Ben Lyons houses
and tell them that they were WASH
ington's most popular visitors during
the past season-and that they can
have anything or everything that We
have-which wouldn't be much.
Further down the beach we'd crash
Laura Hope Crews house so as to
get a look at every one from Hep

Miss Crews for teaching some of the

stop off at Una Merkels and give
her that extra set of furniture which
she wants for the guest bedroom.
We'd also ask her husband to take
her off on that vacation which she
has long needed and hasn't been al

Farther up the hill we'd try and
catch Maxine Doyle before she steps
out with Phil Regan and ask her

On Outpost Drive we bust in on the
Bartletts and give Alice White that
serious Bernhardt role she has been
looking for (she's tired of being q

And on the way down the drive and
across another canyon we'd walk
down that flight of stairs into Ramon

Ramon to sing Mexican Christmas
