The returns, dutifully reported by
R-K-O which has Miss Hepburn under
contract Gnstead of the Theater Guild
which sponsored the play), come at
a pretty interesting point in the
career OF Jane Eyre" The play
closed for the Summer in Baltimore
Saturday night. You might think
that those associated with anything
that had earned $4,000 would be
at least mildly ecstatic about it. Not
the Jane Eyre" crowd.
They are rowing, in refined way,
OF course, about what to do with it.
Some of those identified with the

thing IT'S reported that Sidney
Howard has been approached about
Transformation. 'Tis reported at the
same time that Helen Jerome, whose
brain child the play is, will give her
consent to no such operation.
There the matter stands today with

OF the $4,000. Every one, that is,
except the thousands who paid it
and were rewarded by Miss Hepburn
looking 80 sweet in those lovely old
costumes.
Il
IF THE woman's division OF the
Civic Theater Is tactful. things may
be all right, but the current play,
Girls In Uniform" carries a measure
Of dynamite. You see, the girls wanted
to do q play Of their own and this
one had enough characters in 1t to
give every one, including the wardrobe
mistress, part. It was selected and
everything was just too, too divine.
It is going to require restraint on
the ladies' part, this department has
hunch, to keep things on that level.
That is because of the success which
has attended the girls efforts. Not
that any one wants to, but they just
cannot keep people away from the
performance. The play looks like
the best money-maker of the season
next to 1T Can't Happen Here"
It gives the womans section a
chance to do some boasting. That
would make the men feel so badly
