Outward Bound" Has
Sentimental Touch,


Laurette Taylor probably wept q
sentimental tear last week when she
opened in a revival of Outward
Bound" at the Playhouse. For in
the Cort Theater just across the
street and on the same night 26
years ago she performed for the
hrst time the leading role in j. Hart
ley Manners comedy, "Peg o. NV
Heart, and the two were there for
500 performances.
Producers and Writers

That new George Bernard Shaw
play manuscript is in town and is
reported as another historical item

IL Producers and playwrights

wood hit, "Abe Lincoln in Illinois /"

Broadway Babies
Hats Go Berserk.
This may not be dramatic news,
but it's disturbing observation
The more beautiful Broadway stars
have suddenly gone in for the ber-
serk millinery, those funny shaped
hats that women have been wearing
lately to frighten little children and
hangoverish butter-and-egg men.
At tea the other afternoon your
correspondent shuddered with sur
prise when in walked Judith Ander-
son, Jean Dixon and Helen Menken
attlred in hats that were cute. but
unorthodox.
Miss Anderson, star of Strange
lnterlude," wore a brown turban
with hanging side curtains that gave
the enect that she was going to flee
INTO a desert tent almost immedi-
ately.
Miss Menken's seemed not 50
much hat as Southern garden of
luxuriant flowers growing right out
OF the top of her head. Miss Dixon
vacatlonlng from the movies, wore
one OF those items that seemed to be
a nat one second and an optical IL
lusion the other.
The Misses Anderson, Dixon and
Menken all are preparing to appear
In new plays this winter.

 Forwards Greetings
Swedish Residents of Connecticut Prepare for Jubant
 Celebration of Christmas Season

joyous season of the whole year, and the longest, for the merry making in the homeland, and in some parts of the United States, often lasts three weeks. Preparations sometimes begin early in the fall and observance ac- tivities are distinguished from those Of other countries not only by their duration but also for the expres- sion of joy and good will to others.
 Increasing employment in Con- necticut during the past few months and the outlook for further i'm provement in business and industry during the coming year." he said, should make this year an especial ly joyous occasion for all Americans, as well as those of Swedish extrac- tion. Moreover, all Americans can gain much from the Swedish Yule- tide sentiment of peace ard good will toward others-a sentiment which should be acclaimed in view of the international atmosphere of today which is so clouded by threats of war in other nations"

BRITAIN TO GIVE
 HELP TO FRANCE

 London, Dec. 14-(UP)- Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain ral- lied to the support of France against Italian demands on Tunis today with a statement in the house of commons that the Mediterranean status quo mentioned in the Brit ish-Italian accord applies to Tunis. Any action contrary to the agree ment," Chamberlain said, would be a matter of grave concern to the British government, but I can not contemplate the possibility of aggression against Tunis."
 Chamberlain's statement tended to confirm the declaration by au- thoritative sources in Paris that Britain had given France a pledge of moral and military support in the event of conflict with Italy in the Mediterranean.
 After Sir Eric Phippas, British ambassador, visited the foreign of flee in Paris yesterday, foreign office spokesman announced the active British collaboration had been formally promised.
 Chamberlain has said, however, that there is no written alliance binding Britain to aid France.
