public is beginning to catch the Ylle-
tide spirit and everybody wishes good
things for everybody else.
And so, in the same spirit, we offer
the following wishes for those we know,
as also those we don't:
Helen Hayes: Success In Victoria
Regina" because she has been too long
away from US and because as long as
we can't see her on the screen any
more we should have more and more
and more of her on the stage.
Ed Sullivan: Broadway columnlst,
who is doing himself proud in town
this week, bigger and better days be-
hind the footlights, on the screen. or
on paper-wherever he prefers to be.
Maxine Doyle: That new screen
contract which has almost been hers.
Carlo: For heaven sakes come
home!
Una Merkle: That long promised
visit to Washington which you
promised us three years ago you'd be
doing three years ago.
Gable: Ditto this Winter now that
you have the South Seas of your chest.
Myrna 10y: Success next week at
the Fox in "Whipsaw," because, like
Garbo. you've been away too long, too.
Katharine Cornell: Our greatest
actress, someday, somehow, a trip
back to washington with that now
immortal production of Romeo and
Juliet"
Noel Coward: A glimpse of his new
| plays-and never another, please, like
Point Valaine."
Miriam Hopkins: Swell actress, ex-
cellent in this weeks "Splendor, +"
more and more and more roles under
the supervision of Rachel Crothers
and Sam Goldwyn.
Alfred and Lynn Fontanne: When
are you two going to make up your
minds to come here in The Tanning
of the Shrew"?
Billy Rose: Another "Jumbo"-only
this time with Annette Kellerman, so
We can get back into the spirit Of the
old Hippodrome, when Annette did a
swan dive practically into your Aunt
Minnie's lap.
The new "Follies," because the Pref
ser sisters are in them-two young,
talented and ambitious girls from the
good old South, and therefore we hope
they'll make up the producers mind
to open the show here at the National
Robert Montgomery: Romeo oppo-
site Shearer's Juliet-only We hon.
estly think you'd be better as Mercutio.
Bebe and Ben Lyon: Broadway this
Winter for you if that show of yours
is polished up bit more.
Rosalind Russell: More and more
success because of your inimitable
sense of humor.
Errol Flynn: Success also, because
when he started out on Captain
Blood" he knew he was q bad actor,
and by the time he'd been at it no
more than a few days he fooled the
boys by becoming one of the leading
acting bets the screen has today.
