! Petrified Forest" and ABE Lincoln
in Illinois" Sherwood hews close
to his passion for historical subjects
and eras. expounds his belief that
history repeats itself and that we
can reasonably determine the des-
tiny of our own generation by read
ing what has happened before in
history.
History continuously repeats it.
self" Sherwood said, "and that is
why I believe SO passionately today
that inevitably Frenchmen will be
Frenchmen again"
Still he does not become overly
academic, never forgets that the
first mission Of the theaterz N to
entertain. as@s sss''s',sss.s 49,
IS One professional critic persisted
in renarking in his column that he
could not understand the allegori-
cal meaning or the ending of "Idoit S
Delight"
Good Theater.
This was the drama in which
Sherwood predicted 3ls years be-
fore the present war started that
the then next great war would lead
to the death of civilization. It is the
story of Harry Van, an American
hoofer, trapped by the war in an
Italian hotel in the Alps along with
a pseudo-Russian mistress of an
international munitions magnate.
AS the death bombs of war roar
down toward them, Harry keeps
insisting that he had once occupied
room with her in hotel in Omaha
during a vaudeville engagement.
The two of them, at the end of the
play, stand deliberately awaiting
death from the bombs, rather than
flee with the others, because they
decide there is nothing in their past
worth preserving for the future.
AS the critic continued to ask
what was the allegorical meaning Of
this ending, Sherwood replied, II
don't know what allegorical mean
ing is. All I know is that Alfred
Lunt and Lynn Fontane were play
ing those two roles and it was neces-
sary for the sake of all good thea
tiers to have those two on stage at
the final curtain"
Sherwood's announcement of war
and aggressor nations in his plays
is no idle talk. He knows well the
horrors OF battle. In the World
War he quit Harvard to join up.
but both. the United States Army
and Navy refused him because of his
height. So he went to Canada,
donned pair of kits and joined the
Canadian Black Watch regiment.
Sherwood said he looked imposing"
| in kits.
He was gased at Vimy Ridge. and
when he went back into action he
was shot in both legs.
Sherwood, unable to abandon
entirely his sense of humor, COM
bines his comic sense with the abil-
ity to be his own severest critic.
He makes slurring remarks about
one OF his most famous hits. "The
Road to Rome because he points
out that in it he used "the cheap
trick of having historical characters
use modern slang"
When asked what he did when
he was shot in the war, he answers
with grin: II ran as fast as I
could the other way"
But, today he continuously sets
aside his comic sense to do some
thing strenuously in an effort to
prevent all mankind from waking
up in its imagined security and find
ing that it is bound by the chains Of
slavery"

Skirts Get Shorter
With This War, Too,
Film Stylist Says
By the Associated Press.

HOLLYWOOD.
Skirts are getting shorter and legs
are coming back.
That's what happened in the last
war and history is repeating itself,
says Gilbert Adrian, M-G-M. stu
dos top stylist.
But the consideration is not es-
thetic appreciation of a well-turned
calf, he adds. It's economy. A
scarcity of wool not only will
shorten skirts but will eliminate the
wastage of pleats, fullness or flares.
Dress materials, he believes, will be
homemade calico in preference to
imports of satin and silk
Economy doesn't explain his other
prediction, for he says the women
will be covering their shoulders and
arms more as skirts ascend. He
looks for high necklines and long
sleeves in most Of the fall and
winter models.

The Awkward Age.
Columbia (the studio, not the uni
versity) has given the "leave" signal
to nine players. Some asked to 60.
Others were told to 80. Ralph Bel
lamy is among the first group. He
got tired of acting the clown for the
school. You know how it is-when
you get a reputation for being goofy,
there is only one thing to do If you
want to change your ine-start
again somewhere else. Which is
what Bellamy is doing.
Seventeen-year- old Edith Fellows
has spent all her five years as an
actress at Columbia. They flunked
her on the grounds she had reached
the awkward acting age. But De-
anna Durbin sailed through heI
seventeenth year with full honors
I guess the studio Just didn't want
to bother with Edith, or with Linda
Winters, $50 a week stock girl
LINDA, by the way, is now being
tested by Orson Welles for Citizen
KaneO. Or with Joan Perry OF

Paramount has said good-by to

was billed as "the most beautiful

writes his plays in longhand and
turns out the first draft speedily
after mulling the plot over in his
mind for months. Then he la
boriously copies the handwritten
draft on the typewriter, which is
very slow work because he has never
learned to type faster than a ter
rapin pace. But this very slowness
allows him time to edit and rewrite
his lines as he copies them.
"You would never know my last
script from my first, it is so differ
ent," he said. Sometimes it takes
me long time to write play and
sometimes am able to do it quickly.
II started writing There Shall Be
No Night on January IS, working
sometimes 20 hours a day and dur
ing week the only times left
my apartment was just to take a
brisk walk around the block (Which
is barely a hop, skip and jump for
Sherwood's long legs).
II gave the complete manuscript

Fontanne. who play the leading
roles) on February 10, and we went
into rehearsal on March /. I turned
out the first handwritten draft in
two weeks, although I doubt if I
could turn out a play in that brief
space of time. But, I was feeling
at a white heat when I was writing
this play.

II know that some people have ac-
cused me of being a war propagan-

porter as he was when on the staff
Of the old New York Herald.
He rushed through the first draft
OF There Shall Be No Night" sc
fast that not until he finished it did
he realize that he hadn't specified
why his principal character, DR.
Valkonen, won the Nobel Prize
This was very vital to the plot
Then he had the logical thought
that in DR.. Valkonen's war mad
world it was only fitting that this
humane scientist should win the
prize for studies upon the causes
and cure of insanity. But before
he wrote this into the play he first
studied the subject of insanity anc
