PLAY NEEDS A DOG
Note to the Theater Guild: Get
Philip Merivale dog for Call 1t
A Day" They talk about the dog
all through the play but you never
see Fido wagging his tail. Or is
it Jerry? At any rate think the
new comedy at the National Thea
ter is so close to a bullseye hit the
addition of a bull pup would add
to the verisimilitude.
AS it is now, the absence of a
nurn reminds me of one of Ethel
Barrymore's minor successes, En-
core" Ali through the play they
talked of her many children but
the prima donna never produced
any for audience inspection.
And in Swing Your Lady, they
were everlastingly talking about a
wrestling match between a lady
blacksmith and the touring behe-
moth. But the graphing never de-
veloued. Don't whet the appetite
of firstnighters and diSappoint

advice. Put on the dog for Broad

don. He signed it after Brooke
had kept to his lifetime bone-dry
resolution and refused to split a
champagne cup even with the
heir-apparent to the throne. Wales
Thought it was unusual for night

He liked it and out of the incident
grew a close friendship.
