The story is of husband and
wife in an unnamed European cap

a liberal member of workers
union. is home celebrating the fact
his strength with the workers may
give him political power.
In the midst of their celebration
they hear news announcement
on the radio that a leader of an
opposing political party has been
mysteriously murdered and police
have found strong circumstantial
evidence that may lead to the mur-

The husband becomes nervous,
Tor not only is he an enemy of
the murdered man, but he has just
come through the park where the
murder occurred and somewhere
along his path he lost a glove.
Shortly after comes the surprise

This fellow was a neighborhood
boy with whom Cagney had often
boxed in backyard bouts.
The chap who called Hey, Red. ;

after his release he participated
in another robbery. A policeman
was killed. The ex-convict was con-

He blames environment and home
conditions for the fate of those
boys. They weren't bad kids when
he knew them. But they didn't
have much chance and temptations
were many for the boys who lived
on the sidewalks of New York.
Cagney knows people are shocked
and stirred when they see the con-
ditions which make criminals pic

they forget. however, because it's
too far away from most of them.

Ghosts on All

James Cagney sees ghosts every
time he plays in a prison picture
They're the ghosts of fellows he
once knew in school. They took the
easy way" and wound up in real
penitentiaries. not movie prisons.
One of those boys was electro
cuted, as Cagney was supposed to
have been in Angels With Dirty
Faces" Another is serving real
slime" in the same type of prison

Cagney saw two of those boys in
prison long before he ever dreamed
he would 60 to Hollywood and star

of 19 he was the catcher of semi

team was invited to Sing Sing Pen

Cagney was warming up pitcher
on the sidelines near the stands
when he heard some one shout,
''Hey, Red He paid no attention.
He was used to being kidded about
his red hair.
Hey, Red the voice called again,
"what's the matter with you? Gone

Cagney looked toward the stands
There, in the front row, was a
young fellow who had sat next to

David Wants Some CHANGES

Samuel Goldwyn-cast him in a
dramatic role, he regarded the de-
parture with doubt. but went ahead
with trepidation to his greatest sue
cess to date.

the perturbation of Emily Bronte S
immortal "Wuthering Heights, y
Niven found himself in the mantle
OF man tragically wed to a woman
overwhelmingly in love with an
other.
No job for a tyro, this, but one
with great dramatic possibilities, as
the scene in which Niven is witness
to death of his bride, Merle Oberon
IN the arms of Laurence Olivier
whom she loves with passion
transcending mortal bounds to the
realm of the supernatural.
Transition to this type of part
Niven declared. was difficult in light
Of his success in lighter roles the
like Of his in Dawn Patrol" and
Three Blind Mice
He does feel, however, he said
that his acting career now has
reached an adult" state, the other
roles were mere vestiges of a juve-
nile past.

in The Jest" in San Francisco,
performs feelingly as the wife who
understands and sympathizes while
realizing her husband is involved
in many troubles he cannot confide
even in her.
Leo Chalzel, who has played
largely in vaudeville since he left
his Dayton, Ohio, home, gives an
other good performance here, one
that matches the good one he gave
earlier this season as the illusionist

1t ran for 10 months on Broadway,
Turing full cash till for an act
ing company that thought So cash
was something heaven sent. Awake
and Sing" began as a one-act play
and finally turned up as full
length hit. His Rocket to the
Moon has run IS weeks so far,
and play on Broadway is consid-
cred hit when it runs IL weeks.
So Awake and Sing" and Rocket
to the Moon" are now playing in
repertory, one play alternating with
the other.
The group hopes to overcome the
handicap that Miss LIE Gallienne
and other theatrical pioneers met,
in that it thinks it can discover
an American theater audience that
will seek the guaranteed hits rather
than look for first nights.
incidentally, MY Hearts in the
Highlands" is William Saroyan's
play. and the cast includes an as
sembly of unknowns and the we'll
known Philip Loeb.
Two Are Entire Cast
OF This New Play.
Broadway theatrical managers
are suddenly going to extremes. A
few weeks ago The American Way"
arrived with cast of $50 players.
In contrast the first-nighters looked
upon a new play this week which
had cast of only two.
This newly arrived drama, "Close
Quarters" presents Elena Mira
nova and Leo Chalzel as the only
players, although the author de-
pends great deal on radio, off,
stage voices and other such con-
trivances to give the illusion of
many more people.
"Close Quarters" is one of those
plays tantanzing to review because,
in fairness, one cannot reveal the
plot without spelling the entertain

future.

world at large:
"I don't want to be a playboy."
Drawn from the British Army to
fashionable New York and Santa

Another Lead

Ann Sheridan will have the femi-
