But this is really a dancing show,

the most haunting coryphees these
ancient eyes ever leered at through
routines that are what dancing
should be and practically never is

Any one writing consistently
about the theater has to accumu-
late a technique for reporting
failures. It's a tedious business
and the way the boys Like to get
over it is to make 1t short and
hip-short on the theory that news
papers have better uses for their
white space, flip on the theory that
that's the proper antidote to bore

Immediately, for the first time in
300 years, that Shakespeare actually
had written a musical comedy book.
It is what the syncopators ordered
q burly farce wide enough for COM
les, singers, dancers, girls, magicians,
male and female choruses to roam
around in.
Although the book is by Shake
speare, the dialogue is by Mr.. Abbott.
However, that's all right. '"The boys
from Syracuse" did not come here
to talk. Jimmy Savo and Teddy
Hart are the comics-moonfaced
lads both-and they pantomime you
into the aisles. Sometimes with a
lusty disregard for taste, but nobody
seemed to mind.
And there is a girl dancer who
talks with her feet eloquently enough
to make the meaning clear. Betty
Bruce is the name, and she is the
only tap dancer I have ever seen who
knows enough to use taps as q stac-

woven by that part Of her which
lies north of her toes. She moves
across the stage like an orchestra,

with her hands and blaring with her
body fit to make the heart curl. The

Old st. Nick in a handsome new
suit and a $4,000 super sleigh is
poised for his nightly parade down
the now-famous Santa Claus lane,
and habitues of the colony are be-
ginning to wear their most beatiflc
faces-but the holiday spirit won't
mean a thing to an agonized group
of screen and radio entertainers un-
less something is done to rid the
town of thieves.
Top comedians are complaining
again, and more bitterly than ever
before, that gag-stealing operators
are at work-robbing them of the
precious weapons they WELD to keep
the wolf from their door.
Jokes are lifted bodily from one
film or radio broadcast, to be slightly
revised and injected into another
comedy epic of the celluloid or ether
waves. AS a dozen or more head
lining laugh" programs continue to
be blasted out over the radio once
each week and movie producers
strive to keep the contents of a
dozen comedy pictures fresh until
release date-usually a matter. OF
two months-the joke-makers NUT
ter and threaten.
About a year. ago producers tried
to take matters in hand by shadow
ing those set workers in position
to listen in on the dialogue of pic
lures starring their foremost mirth-
makers. At that time, evidence de-
veloped that some of the wittiest
gags from scripts they had been
paying special writers as much as
$1,000 a week to concoct were being
carried off the lot and delivered to
entertainers appearing on radio pro-
grams emanating from Los Angeles.
But this surveillance brought no
tangible results, and today the situa-
ton appears more muddled than
ever.
Burns and Allen, the Ritz brothers,
Jack Benny, Eddie Cantor, Bob
Hope, the Marx brothers and others
complain of being Wctimized reg
ularly.. Their completed pictures are
often forced back for revisions and
retakes because some bit Of busi-
ness. particularly funny at the time,
is banded about until 1t is stale
when flashed from the screen.
The Ritz brothers got OF to de-
moralizing start three years ago
when practically all the gags from
their first picture, Sing Baby Sing"
were stolen from the set and broad
cast on a national program a week
before the Aims release. Working
in a recent comedy, Burns and Allen
listened in on program one night
and heard five choice gags destroyed
by headline comic. They spent five
days doing retakes on the picture.
Many Of the thefts, of course, are
unintentional and accidental, the
comics are willing to concede. A
gag writer may hear q hilarious

Many Nations

But Foreign.Born
Live and Work in
Harmony
By SheiIah Graham.

Hollywood is the political refining
ground of the world. To this sane
tuary in Southern California come
members of every creed, every
race, every political belief-Ger-
mans, Russians. English, Irish,
French, Norwegians, Swedes, Hun
garians, Armenians, Chinese, Jews,
Gentiles, capitalists. Communists
all of them-or rather most of
them-eager to enter the melting
pot of American democracy.
There are so many Britishers liv-
ing in California that the general
accent has taken on a broad vowel
aspect. Among the acting folk are
Merle Oberon, Wendy Barrie, Louis
Hayward. Walter Pidgeon, Olivia
de Havilland and sister, Joan Fon-
taine (born of British parents in
Tokio); Ida Lupino, Cary Grant,
Ronald Colman, Victor McLaglen,
Arthur Treacher, Madeleine Car
roll, Melville Cooper, Binnie Barnes,
Constance Collier, Virginia Field,
Charles Chaplin. Claude Rains,
Roland Young, Herbert Marshall,
Basil Rathbone, David Niven, Fred
die Bartholomew. Ray Milland and
Reginald Gardiner.
A large proportion of the above
are now American citizens-Victor
McLaglen not only owes allegiance
to Uncle Sam, but has a trained
regiment of cavalry ready to fight
and die for the U. S. A. Cary
Grant has just returned from Eng
land, where he went to settle his
affairs as prelude to changing his
nationality. Miss de Havilland and
sister Joan regard their British
passports as mere technality which
they will correct. Roland Young
has been an American for at least
IS years. Ray Milland forsook the
Union Jack for the Stars and Stripes
q few months back. Claude Rains
made the switch about six months
ago. Wendy Barrie has applied for
her first papers. And don't be sur
prised if Freddie Bartholomew does
likewise.
The Irish group Is small, but pow
erful-including Enrol Flynn. Maui
reen O'Sullivan, Geraldine Fitzger-
aid, George Brent-the latter came
to this country when things got too
hot politically in the home town
and is now a bona fide American.
The French colony in Hollywood
embraces every type and every
profession-directors, actors, ETC.
Olympic Bradna, Charles Boyer, An
nabella, Robert Florey, Julien Du-
vivier.
Most of the Germans here applied
for naturalization as soon as they
were eligible-Luise Rainer is the
latest to seek the protection of this
humanitarian country, following the
example of Ernest Lubitsch, Peter
LORE, Fritz Lang, William Dieterle,
Anatole Litvak and Max Reinhardt.
