Greenwood Due, October Is

Charlotte Greenwood will re-
turn to Washington for an en-
engagement at the National The
alter week of Monday, October
twenty-fifth.
It will be the first time that
Miss Greenwood has played here
since her triumph at the Theater
Royal, Drury Lane, London,
where she was ensconced for
four consecutive seasons in three
musical hits, wild Violets,"
Gay Deceivers" and Three
Sisters"
AS a special treat for Washing
ton, Miss Greenwood has added
a musical postscript to Lean
ing on Lefty" in which she in
corporates some of the songs and
dances that had London in
stitches during her engagement
there.
Leaning on Lefty" is a
straight comedy drama, the
story Of a hectic week in a tour

an overgrown elephant on the

treatments prepared but none
that proved satisfactory. Last re-

ing made to fit the satire to the
talents of the Marx brothers.
Hollywood's problem is not
raised by Will Hays, former
head of the Republican National
Committee, now the movie over
lord, but by State censorship
boards. When Vice President

this threat, there is little chance

liberties with the then Prince of
Wales in a humorous skit. Same

reached London. In Germany
and Italy sponsors of such
things as I'D Rather Be Right"
would face something like the
Bastile and the gullotine. 1t
looks as though George M. Co.
hans liberty is reasonably safe
and that instead of punishment,
he and his bold producer will be
raking in profits for months.
Whether I'D R t h er Be

goers "funnie. than the Govern

litical point of view.
The Pulitzer judges in decor

brazen jibery, in the same I'D

Not only is it coherent and we'll
knit enough to class as play,
aside from the music, but it is
a biting anu true satire on Amer

under the direction of Sidney

Besides the theater, there will
be several stores, forming a

There will be parking in the
rear for 500 cars.
The new project is located
on the Rockville Pike, near the
East-WeSt Highway, where a

and light effects, and a large
stage for "fleSh" entertainment
