recovering from the arthritis that
caused the postponement of "Vivacious
Lady" with Co-star Ginger Rogers,
several months ago. But he is now
ready to work again, IN M-G-M's

no clue to the story, which concerns
three young men, the son of a fireman,
portrayed by Stewart; a rich mans
son and an institute foot ball player.
Robert Young will probably enact the
gilded gentleman, with Virginia Bruce
as love-interest-in-c chief.

Simone to make good in Love and
Kisses" first, or there will be no fur

Potted notes of the week Looks

picture awaits Merle Oberon on her
return from England, THE Girl on

Charlie Lederer. Newcomer Sigrid

There must be five Spencer Tracys

should the studio announce another
picture for him? This time it's Man

Joan must have a twin sister-at the
least-to fulfill her commitments. The
latest is Three Comrades" scripted
from the novel of Erich Remarque by
Scott Fitzgerald. Leading males are
Robert Taylor and Jimmy Stewart :.
Rumor says that Carole Lombard will
replace Marlene Dietrich in Mid

for the script. Paramount should
benefit by the switch. The top role

Sylvan Theater Program Tea-
tured by Variety Of well-Pre-
sented Dance interpretations.
CONTINUING q dance predoni-
mated Sylvan Theater season, the
group OF Lisa Gardiner held the spot
light last night before the largest
attendance Of the year and provided
some Of the best in talent and pro-
gram selection among local presents
tions of the type to appear currently.
Refreshingly different choreographic
design combined with the aptitude for
the work formed a happy confluence.
This, with musical setting excep-
tionally well adapted to terpsichore,
set off the performance in good taste
There was highly agreeable variety
Of selections-not too much interpre-
tation Of the abstract, while the COL
orfully descriptive was kept from its
usually predominating POSITION
Many were the individual solo op-
portunities. Dancing alone in waltz
tempo OF Chopin, there was Marian
Wolberg displaying some truly nimble
footwork and grace Of body motion.
Miss Gardiner, In a vivid, flashy "Des-
ert Dance" attained spirit and au-
thenticity in her gyrations; Alice Lou
ise Hunter, another tried and proven
terpsichorean performer, likewise
added conviction in her scarf dance,
although the fluttering cloth divided
the dancers attention too selflshly.
OF the small ensemble efforts, most
surprising and attractive was the
time battered Blue Danube" At
mosphere here was not ball room but,
oddly enough, descriptive OF the river
itself, with undulating drapes and
flowing arms effectively Stimulating
Mary Day, Miss Gardiner and Miss
Hunter performed. Moonlight"
dreamy work OF Claude Debussey, was
properly quiet and reserved, but little
wooden at the hands OF Miss Day,
Ann Vuchinovich, Lora Wills and
Eleanor Catch. AS novelty, the pro-
gram closed with a stomping Mexican
Indian tribal dance, portrayed by the
entire cast.
Lighting effects were unusually at
tractive-credit Harold Snyder-and
the piano supplement furnished by
Mrs. Edith H. Hunter deserves praise
Outstanding were her renditions OF

Don't let me down on the next take.
Boles discussed the incident at
lunch. He recalled, with a trace OF
bitterness in his voice, that this was
the first time in many picture starts
that he had been permitted to show
the slightest sign of fight. Dating back
to his screen debut with Gloria Swan
son in The Loves of Sunya," in 1927,
instances where Boles has been called
on to shake his fist at any one have
been few and far between. And he has
made close to so features.

usually mild-mannered Boles suddenly
exploded.

New York, July 12.-(AP)- With

a gain of around three points, stock
