THE Gardner instance however, is

may have to use to bind Washing

It all began nearly four weeks ago
when Noel Coward came to town
on his play cycle. While Coward
was playing at the National, "The
Scoundrel" returned to the Rialto.
and the headlines reached the apex of
apparent insanity when they reported
Noel Coward as having gone to see
Noel Coward in the movies.
Last week the situation became
even more acute While Maxwell An
dersons The Wingless Victory" was
having its world premiere on e street.
his last years success was being
screened day and night at Keith's.
Its name, Mr.. Anderson remembered,
was "Winterset," but he was too busy,
or too something else, to journey
around the corner to see it,
And, in Mr. Anderson's The Wing
less Victory" there was Myron Nc
Cormick who was also playing at
the same time in the movie version
of "Winterset." Mccormick, like An
derson, did not see the film. (As
a matter of fact he never has seen
himself in the movies although he
admitted Saturday night that he en-
joyed making the film and that it
had financed a pretty fine vacation
for him between seasons)
Then, tomorrow. Gertrude Lawrence
who was so brightly and ubiquitously
here in the Coward plays returns to
