EULL Of comedy and romance and

now has taken up its abode at the
Little Theater for . bit of q revival.
It's the story. you possibly remember.
II You remember back to late in 1894,
when 1t came out, Of q Florentine
Duke and his philanderings. while his
wife did some philandering on her
own. As opposed to the triangle sit
uation, affairs Of Cellini" presents
q quadrapgle-the Duke and Cellini's
model and Cellini and the Duchess
and after all the shuffling Of partners
everybody seems quite satisfied.
Planted in 18th century Florence
the tale is one designed for all lassies
who like their cinema FULL of amour
but 1t also has swift action and brigh,
dialogue, which give it a modern
touch and a pleasant taste of the
farcical. Frank Morgan, as the Duke

we can't seem to think of another

Production.

~ NOWN variously as Queen Bess,
K or the Virgin Queen, Elizabeth
IN Of England had one Of the
stormiest and most interesting
reigns Of English history. Hers were
times that were stirring indeed-the
Spanish armada. the Spanish wars. the
conflict over the throne with Mary of
Scotland, the rebellion OF. Essex-all
events that helped to make for Eng
lands present greatness.
Such Is the stuff Of history, but
1t is also the stuff from which drama
is created. There have been in
| Vulnerable plays written around the
| figure Of one Of England's most i'm
portant rulers, but 1t remained for
Maxwell Anderson to write q play
centering around these exciting fig
ures, and to write it in the manner
that the great playwright Of her own
| day would have done it.
Elizabeth the Queen" tells the
story Of her last years, when she was
an old woman, but still with all the
vitality and power that made her
reign what it was.
The blank verse form In which
Shakespeare wrote was not used for
many years until Anderson came
| along and revived it. But in doing
| so he has transcribed the restric-
tions Of the older, classical form and
| made it into a freer and more COL
loquial verse. 1t is better adapted
to the ear of our own time, and yet
it retains the beautiful and moving
qualities which made 1t so effective
from the first.
Ever since the production of Eliza
beth" In 1880, Anderson has used
this form. Mary Of Scotland" his
next, was awarded the Pulitzer prize.
Elizabeth the Queen" will be pre-
sented in the Roosevelt High School
auditorium Thursday, February "a,
by cast of local players, with Anne
Ives in the lead. Miss Ives is thor
oughly familiar with the character
| of the Queen, for this makes the
fourth version of that figure in which
she has taken part.
The play is under the direction of

Heading the floor show cast, q cast
to which every one In town donated,

Morgan's seventh show Of the day,

SPEAKING of STAN and La Rue, they
are quite story. Where the
average dance team just dances, sits
out the time in between and then
comes back to dance some more, STAN
and La Rue spends their odd hours in
venting things. Actually Mr.. STAN
does the inventing, Miss La Rue help
ing out any way she can.
At the moment, between dances,
Mr.. STAN is enormously concerned
with device to take the glare out of
automobile headlights. Though years
of driving at night-from engagement
to engagement, which means more
thousands of miles than the average
person goes-and years of talking to
engineers, traffic and motor vehicle
officials, he has perfected small unit
which he insists is the perfect answer
to the glare problem. You can see
from that he does not monkey around
with small things which engage so
many sideline inventors.
The STAN glare killer is a simple
device. so simple you can hardly be-
lieve it, which absorbs the normally
wasted light at the top of the head
light beam. Or at least that's a drama
reporters restatement of his, STAINS,
story.
The team once took AZ months
of to test the device, testing it in
dark alleys in Chicago (the streets
were too well lighted) into which Miss

hammers, hunk of gas pipe or some
other weapon as defense against
