Bogart pointing the camera over
Cagney's shoulder. That was one
way to show Bogart's look of horror.
Cagney stepped into place before
the camera. Bogart moved in too.
Curtiz and Monte Westmore, the
makeup man on the set. Joined them.
Mr.. Westmore squirted his spray
gun over Bogart's face. particularly
his forehead. Then, without warning,
he sprayed Director Curtiz, too.
What the DEVIL" Curtiz said. why
you spray me?"
"Mr. Warmers on his way down to
the SET" lied Westmore.
"You ought to look worried"
"You stick to actor" grumbled Cur

Right" said Cagney and Bogart

Bogart. I'm supposed to be looking

Slowly. with hands raised, Bogart
backed away from Cagney. The

Their brief speeches were spoken be-

immigration regulations. Here, 1t is
Actors Equity Association. the actors
union. that says how frequently and
how long an alien actor can work
on these shores.
The British restrictions in this mat
ter is, in brief, that any American or
other alien star playing a role on the
London stage can do so only because
he is particularly fitted for the part
and there is no British actor who
can satisfactorily substitute.
Actors Equity Association has long
kept a fairly firm control on the
working of alien actors on Broadway.
In recent seasons, however, they have
become more lenient in their view
point when it became evident that
some British stars in Broadway plays
who had exceeded their time limit
could, by their personal popularity
keep plays running and, thereby, their
supporting cast of American actors
employed.

Vera Zorina, of Norwegian parentage,
in Berlin. The fourth star, Vivienne

Tobacco Road" was born in Glouces-

presides as the kindly commentator in

London, too, has been getting its
share of American stars this season.
A second company of American actors
has just been shipped to Piccadilly
to replace in Golden Boy" the first
American company, which is being
returned here to fulfill previously
signed contracts.
Peggy Wood, who was born in
Brooklyn. has just returned to her

tame was born in England, while
Lunt is native of Milwaukee.
However. British restrictions on
American actors working in London
are much more severe than the rules
governing the working of British actors
on the Broadway stage.
That may be due. perhaps, to the
fact that on Piccadilly it is the British
home Office that dictates whether or
not American stars can work there.

The quality Of theatrical produce
tons was higher than it has been for
some time, however. 1t was very en-
couraging that, despite the small
number that were made, there was
q substantial line at the box Office for
the plays of dramatic strength that
deserved successful engagements.
But, If the season was better and
finer-really greater-than we have
been accustomed to having in New
York, there is cause for regret in that
the coming season will see fewer
dramatic offerings for the theater
outside Of New York.
This is due to the fact that last
