Tough luck, indeed, for young
Bronson Dudley of set to
Music"
The blond hoOfer, son of Bide
Dudley, made wallOping hit on
Monday night in the Noel Cow
ard revue, then turned on his
ankle al Tuesday rehearsal
and has been on the sidelines
since.
Hopes to be able to dance to-
night, and surely for the Music
Box opening next Wednesday in
New York.
Anent the above. Another
opinion on Beatrice Lille and
Noel CoWards revue.
Dear Andy:
Caught the Coward show
Tuesday night, but found it dis
appointing.
Maybe I expected too much,
but, if I do. it's NOels own fault,
for his talents have been so de-
lightfully expressed heretofore.
DO l ask for too much when
I plead for one. Just one. sing
ing voice in a show purpOrted
to be set to music? With the
exception of the 'Debutantes.'

Ortega, and even she could not.
or did not. carry tune through!
What happened to young
Bronson Dudley. whom you said
promised so much on Monday
night? They cut his number
on Tuesday night-OUT. l was
sorry about that, for I'd heard
that he was worth watching.
The show Is funny when
Bea holds the spotlight, for she
has way with her, but it's not
fair to ask her to carry the
whole comic burden; when
comedy loses its sparkle, what
have you?
Personally, I do not think
Noel can be satisfied with so
ragged production; the un,
even tempo of the piece was
very noticeable last night. The
unit may make money for him,
but 1 think his personal salts
faction in a perfectly timed
show would mean more to him
than the caSh-in on his, shall
we say, fame?

such minority expression is not

study of the FILM DAILY poll

is the first European feature to
achieve that honor since 1888.

General Francois government in
Spain within "few days" was con-

along with the Italian-French situa-

emerged from two days of defense
debate in the House of Commons.
The cabinet, meeting day after
it was disclosed that the British and
French general staffs "were in con-

parent failure of British-French eff
forts to persuade the nationalist re-

leaders in return for recognition.
Regarding Spain, Prime Minister
