 SCREENS TOUGH GUY
 IS POOR SAILOR
 The Broadway bucolics are le- zion: Moss Hart, George Kauf- man, Edna Ferber, Lily Pons, Haywood Broun, Sidney Kingsley and his wife, Madge Evans, Jim- my Cagney, Herman Shumlin, Tallulah Bankhead being mere few in the city's celebrated corps.
 Cagney commutes from Holly wood to his farm at Martha's Vineyard when he has the time and, incidentally, they tell a yarn on the he-man of the movies and his life on the Massachusetts coast.
 Not long ago Cagney bought himself boaS and captains cap and launched both his vessel and himself in the Atlantic one fine afternoon. That night, he offered the captains cap for sale, and threw the boat into the deal. He had discovered to his chagrin that he couldn't take it; too sea- sick!
 TAKE REAL INTEREST
 IN THEIR FARMS
 Moss Hart has made a paying proposition of his farm in Bucks County, Pa., and has hired hands to man the crops, the livestock and the poultry. He takes a lively interest in the overhead and re- tail prices and has recovered from the incongruity of writing smart, sophisticated comedies at the same time that he is oversee ing the moving of the hay and the activity in the hen-coop.
 Crosby Gaige, at his sprawling estate at Mount Kisco, spends some of h time reading scripts from which he may choose one to produce on Broadway. His other hours are devoted to farm products, operating g rare print ing press, (by hand), chasing but terflies Literally with a net), try ing out old and new recipes, testing vintage of wines, catalog- ing a huge library and writing Wine and Food columns for the press.
 You would never know it, though to look at him, downing a quick lunch at the And St. cafe teria near where he makes his office-when he's in town.
 MIR. BROUN PLAYS
 ANOTHER LONG SHOT
 Haywood Bround is the squire of Hunting Ridge in the town ship Of Stamford, Conn.,, where also the editorial offices of his plodding publication, The Nutmeg are situated. The Nutmeg, of late, has been On lean days A few weeks ago, no thanks to subscrib- CTS and advertisers, a hundred dollars were left in the treasury.
 MT. Broun is not one to let cap- ital lie dormant and fallow. He withdrew the balance and jour- neyed to the race track, with the conviction that he could invest wisely enough to put the Nutmeg back on its feet. Unfortunately, the outcome was not too happy. MT. Broun likes a long shot bet ter than sure thing. So the lat est issue of the brave, little ga- zette, carries this public notice in conspicuous corner: Wanted = An Aggressive Loan Shark. Rates of IntereSt-Academic!"
 MT. Broun goes on being the most dauntless. country editor in the country!
 BROADWAYITES THRONG COUNTRY CROSSROADS
 Broadway i supposed to be the main streeo of New York and Times Square the crossroads of the world; but commonly on a lazy Saturday or Sunday after noon, you can meet the luminaries of Manhattan on the main streets of Elizabethtown, Greenwich, Ger mantown or Danbury.
 That's where the Broadwayites are shopping the weekend stores or buying the morning papers from the grocer, so they can keep up with tn, doings in the town they have temporarily deserted. Any day now, expect to see Tal- lulah Bankhead leading the COWS down the Gay White Way to mar ket-before going off to the thea ter for her performance.
