actors Immediately and follow them
into the after world.
1t seems there is a special kind of
after-world for actors. The powers
recognize that the theater is heaven
for such and, since there is none al
lowed in paradise proper, actors are
allowed to wander among those on
earth. So they wander and follow the
theater through all its hits and crises
1t sounds fascinating. but actually
it isn't I'm a little bit afraid that
you have to love the theater as much
as a mother loves son to sit through
its flabby writing. The authors have
looked on their subject with rheumy
eyes. What can be said for them is
that they have written with love

In fewer words, Evans acts Hamlet,
the plot of which undoubtedly is as
old as the human race, in a manner
that makes Shakespeare's lines seem
appropriate to modern-day families.
That fact, perhaps, is what made
Shakespeare ageless.
Evans is an actor who certainly
must prove that acting is an art He
is a man who is not tall; indeed. he
comes up to the shoulders of most of
his supporting cast He has thinning
hair and certainly could not be called
handsome. But he has the superb
answer to all such criticism in that
he can act and there are so few actors
on the stage who really can act. Evans
can take an ancient play as he does
in Hamlet" and hold an audience en-
thralled for nearly five hours. That,
indeed, is a feat for any one on the
stage or in any other profession.
Mady Christians is the Queen and
Katherine Locke is Ophelia, and both
seemed to be just beautiful but not
acting their roles, for they have far
less the power to match that of Evans
as Hamlet. If ever Shakespeare can
have long run on Broadway again,
this should be the production, and
Margaret Webster, with her direction,
seems to be as meritoriously respon-
Sible as Evans.

Dorothy MCGUIRE has lived that

fame overnight.
The straw blond, 20-year old Omaha
girl shown here pounded Broadway's

modelled for two years. The stage
never had heard Of her until she was
selected by Jed Harris for the part
of Emily in Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer

behind columns and potted

martial entrance and the numerous
officers jumped to attention.
Undersecretary of State Sumner
Welles and his ever beautiful wife,
Mathilde, went up and down the
stairs several times being followed
and surrounded by a crowd of
