.ELLEYGRAMS

"Save Me the Waltz" Kathe-
rine Dayton's Drama about die
tators, opened in New York
Monday night and met-what
can be called - an indifferent
press.
Critic Sidney Whipple of the
World Telegram liked it, but his
fellow Monday nighters could
not work up any enthusiasm.
For instance, John Anderson OF
the Journal-American:
at is a large, cOlOrful and
sentimental show, drOwsy, 1
fear, and obvious. 1t is doing
peacefully in 1908, and if we
tiptOe quietly nothing need
wake it up. Possibly it slipped
out when Mr.. Cain was closing
his warehouse.
''Miss DaytOn's intentions are
honorable, and her dislike of
dictat0rs does her credit, but
her method is heavy with grease
paint and about as effective as
throwing a bouquet of viOlets at
steel-rimmed storm troopers.
"She shows us the picturesque
country of JadlOvia under the
heel of a petty dictator, who
keeps the royal family impris.
The Washington times., 1938-03-02

Oned, and fOrDldS the country
to waltz, or drink chocolate. If
played by Victor Moore, with a
few good gag songs, the die
tatOr might be a suitable stage
StOOge in a musical comedy. AS
it stands Miss Dayton has too
many words and not nearly
enough music"

Gently the recipient of high
hat awarded monthly to the
current man of the hour" by a
national magazine.
The citation making the
award was perhaps the most
felicitous tribute ever paid to
Mr.. Cohan, who bluShes every
time it is mentioned, but who
privately admits that it gave
him what his producer and
friend, Sam H. Harris, always
refers to as "the lump" Here
is the citation:
For being an institution; for
having arrived as a legend while
still in full health; for an amaz-
ing ability to do well all of the
things his varied gifts make pos
sibIe; for Slapping his heels
against the boards better than
any other man alive; for making
all dancers of all times look like
amateurs still taking Thursday
night lessons; for cooking his
hat so that it looks like hearty
laugh should sound; for his
grand Irish face crowned with
white Irish hair of the white
ness that only good Irishmen
can achieve; for the memories
he evOkes Of the other three
grand Cohans; for being q ltv-
ing symbol Of the good Gaelic
phrase, "Faughaballagh"; for
being kindly and understanding
about other peoples problems;
for the cleanliness with which
he lives, thinks and writes; for
his unsunR generOSitieS; for the
encouragement he gives to the
members of every cast of which
he is a part; for being the
worlds greatest living mum
mer; we take great pleasure in
presenting a gallant gentleman
with his high hat award"
KATIE IS UNHAPPY
Katharine Hepburn is greatly
upset and dissatisfied over the
treatment that is being given
her by RKO, according to re-
port. She feels that she it not
getting fair deal in the matter
of stories. Her contract has a
long time to run and she is un-
derstood to be negotiating with
Columbia to take over the bal

The contention Of RKO is,

that her name is no longer as

From the wardrobe booth on

Sonia spent an hour teaching

through, Sonia went to Del

their skating prowesS would

BY the time the quartet Of

been written into the script in
