DEFEATISM THEME
Playwright Treadwell is a
friendly biographer and softenS
what is no longer a revelation, that
Poe was the slave to the bottle
and that some of his enduring
work was conceived while the poet
was in his cups.
He seized upon liquor as an
escape from bitter memories, for
life dealt him heart-rending
blows, and he became the unhappy
victim of a habit that periled his
life, reputation and reason.
These things have been strik-
ingly portrayed in three episode
acts that travel past milestones
viSualizing his unhappy boyhood
at his foster fathers home in Rich
mond and his Christmas Eve

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 24.-Those
in the know are having a polite
smoker at Clark Gable. Being
very serious about his role IN
"Parnell," the star called two Hol-
lywood book stores and ordered
every available volume dealing
with the life and work of the Irish
politician. Two dozen were de-
livered. Clark was still game. But
a couple of days later a veritable
avalanche Of books descended
upon him. When the total reached
1877, Clark yelled quits. Now, he
is wondering what to do with his
library, which is probably the
most complete in the world, con-
corning Charles Stewart Parnell.
Another song by Fred Astaire
will be in the music stores any
minute now. 1t is called Just
One More Dance, Madam" and
was written by the star in col
liberation with Paul Webster and
Dave Dreyer. This is AStaire's
third published song in the last
18 months.
He's more tickled to see one
make a hit class than he is to
create a new dance.
For some time, Paramount has
been urgently paging Randy Scott
and, if he can be persuaded to
leave his society bride, the studio
will cast him opposite Irene Dunno

the child wife-Virginia GLENN:
that show the authors life in the
shabby home at Fordham, his
clash with jealous literati, his pitt
full reunion with the sweetheart of
early days and his agonizing death
in a Baltimore hospital.
These interludes of gloom and
of drab moods have been some
what relieved by a penetrating
second act which permits Poe
dramatic opportunity to hit back
at contemporaries and critics. He
invades the parlor of Anne Lynch
in Waverly Place while exhila-
rated, transforms a Valentine party
into a pulpit for scathing denun-
citation of his foes.
What makes "Plumes in the
Dust" a thoughtful evening with a
great poet is Henry Hull's search
ing portrait of the immortal. Poe,
as he limns him, is inStinctively

loyal to his friends, grateful for

Mr.. Hopkins has provided plod-

a curtain speech, voiced for play

hearty appreciation for this cor

Elizabeth Ellicott Poe and Vylla
Poe Wilson, direct descendants of
the Poe family were in the first
night audience for "Plumes in the

dramatic license which visualizes
the poet breaking up Valentine

which presumed to criticize his
literary effort. Instead, they say,
the record proves Poe was hold
ing the hand of his consumptive
wife and cousin, Virginia, when
she passed away peacefully. The
