seemed to be mere ship flirtations
In comparison. Actually, however,
it turned out that these more an
cient passions were the grander
after all. That of Sonia and Tyrone
came to an end and no one seemed
to care.
And now what is left? Nothing
save to see how well the two can
play the parts on the screen which
they played so long and for so many
columns. It ought to be something
to keep watch for. 1t will be
called when Winter Comes" and
Twentieth Century, Fox will make it.
1t all sounds something like an
event.
The Theater Guild, which gave
Washington Katharine Hepburn in
"Jane Eyre" is preparing to give
Washington Katharine Hepburn
again. The play is Philip Barry's
THE Philadelphia Story" the OPEN
ing date is March and the theater
is the National, as it inevitably
would be.
From this distance, Mr.. Barry
sounds as if he might have written
a very modern domestic relations
drama for Miss Hepburn. She Is
involved as twice-married heiress,
with spectacular coloring implied by
the presence of a reporter and
press camera girl among the various
characters. OF course, the latter
two might be there merely because
the wedding is fashionable, but it
does not sound as if that were the
case. Frankly, it seems more like
intrigue with comic overtones.
The guild has surrounded Miss
Hepburn with some competent peo-
pie. One of them is Vera Allen,
who was that bad other woman last
year in "Once Is Enough" Others
are Van Hef1in, Nicholas Joy, Joseph
Cotton, Shirley Booth, Forrest Orr
and Lenore Lonergan.
Robert B. Sinclair directed.
1t is pretty late to be saying any,
thing about it, but we hope George
Gaul's orchestra at the National
does not bury too deeply in the
library trio of pieces played during
lntermission of Mice and Men"
last week Three Songs From
Eiland' is the way we read the title
from our seat several feet behind
Vlollnist Acosta :. And our favorite
what melody-was one that was
called Silent Woe" Speaking
of music in our non-technical way,
we know what musicians play right

minutes and back on duty, Mario di
Polo's band at the Raleigh yester-
day played Yesterday" Never
Again." ''It Never Was Anywhere
You" and the like -. Still speak
ing of musicians, even if it is getting
to be protracted, we still like Troika
Violinist Sacha Lucas version of
that Rumanian dance "Hora" bet
ter than that of the Rumanian or
chestra which played it on the air
the other day.
