In the Straw Hats

In the summer when the
drama moves into the open air
of the countryside, there is
much activity in New England.
New players try out new talents.
Old players invade new fields,
tragedians trying for a laugh,
comedians having that fling at
Hamlet New authors try out
new plays. Old authors try out
new plays. Such varied per-
sonalities as Harpo Marx, Ann
Corio. FRITZ Scheff and Sally
Rand have a go at the drahma.
Hollywood stars, accustomed TO
acting for cameras, come East
to see what people look like.
The Stars drama editor, Jay
Carmody, is off now on another
of his jaunts through the straw
hat" country. pausing to ex-
anime the various examples of
stunt casting" in the summer
theater, getting a line on what
may be found among the new
plays when the theater season
starts. His series on the thes-
plan life of New England starts
tomorrow in The Sunday Star,
with a story about the return
of Hollywood's million dollar
baby, Anna Sten.

bill.
Edmund Gwenn, the British actor
whose only other stage appearance
here, though you have seen much
of him in the movies, was in
''Laburnum Grove" plays the lead
ing role in The Wookey." And
another Briton, another one who
has been busy in Hollywood. Miss
Heather Angel, is Importantly cast.
The play, incidentally, was written
by Frederick Hazlitt Brennan.
This, Mr. Edmond Plohn, the Ma
tionals manager, informs, is not
all. While summer is still simmer
ing on the rest of us, there's a
breath of autumn blowing out of
the pages of the book where the
Nationals attractions are listed.
Immediately following Mr., Wookey'
comes September and the first three
weeks of September already are
definitely allotted by the National.
September l there arrives new
play by Parker w. Fennelly titled
"Two-Story House" which stops of
here for week on its way to Broad
way. It's Brock Pemberton's first
entry of the season, comedy with a
summer tryout in one of New Eng
lands STRAW hats" behind 1t al

Kilbride, Howard Freeman and
George Matthews.
After Story House" comes.
the week of September 8, the Ed
Wynn hit of last season, Boys and
Girls Together" And the week of
September Is is set aside for "Sepa-
rate Rooms" that comedy which has
been running and running on Broad
way in spite of disparaging remarks
from certain quarters. Alan Dine
hart still is in this. of course, owning
a chunk of it, and Anna Sten plays
the feminine lead which Glenda
Farrell did originally.
DdlcS dICIl NCt ioi
some other items which are certain
to be awaited with considerable
eagerness. There is on the way. for
instance, the revival of Shaw's Doc
tors Dilemma" which Katharine
Cornell brought back to New York
last season. Then Al Jolson's sue
cessful musical, Hold Onto Your
Hats" will be along And finally,
among the plays already written in
indelible ink on the Nationals book
ing list, is the new Maxwell Ander-
son drama, Candle in the Wind"
Helen Hayes is the star of this one
and it is being staged for the Play
wrights' Co. by Alfred Lunt.

pictures, four others remaining in:
downtown houses for extended runs.
No one is surprised, of course, that
Sergeant York" is remaining sec
ond week at Warmers Earle. 1t is
a heroic motion picture about
hero who inspiringly symbolizes the
American with something TO fight
for, who can Wham the daylightS
out of any enemy, knows it and
does it when finally aroused. This
is truly fine photoplay, an honest
one and an eloquent one. moving
statement of the American ideal and
guide post for those who yet are
wondering what is to be done.
This is not a war film, though it
does drive finally to the climax
Sergt. Alvin c. York of Tennessee
arranged for it on october 8, 1918.
when in the midst of the battle of
the Meuse -Argonne. he became a
hero by ending the lives of 25 or
more Germans and the war careers
of the l32 others he captured single
handedly. Rather. Sergeant York
is the story of the man himself. of
forces which were fused into him
to emerge finally in his heroic deed.
Fortunately for the dramatic i'm
pact of his story, Producer Jesse
Lasky has hewed close to the line of
simplicity and honesty, making of
Sergeant York" truly superb
cinema biography. His cast, headed
by Gary Cooper as York. Walter
Brennan, Margaret Wycherly, Joan
Leslie and George Tobias, is excel
lent. This is still, as it was last
week, an absolute must"
In quite different mood are
Ginger Rogers, Burgess Meredith,
Director Carson Kanin and the
others involved in the frothy enter
tainment at Keith's. Tom, Dick
and Harry is the Cinderella legend
again, maybe, but so brightly and
gayly told that it sparkles like
champagne. You must already know
that this is the one about pretty
telephone operator miss Rogers
who just can't help becoming en-
gagged to ID gay and charming
rogue, (2) an energetic automobile
salesman and 80 a rich society
scion. 1t is played with rollicklng
| happiness by Miss Rogers, Mr.. Mere
dith, George Murphy and Alan
Marshal and marked ever by Mr..
Kanin's genius for making light

They Met in Bombay" which
you may now meet at the Colum-
pia, is another oldie of a yarn
popped up by direction and playing
until it has become something quite
worth your while. In this you
will find Rosalind Russell and Clark
Gable, first at odds when each dis
covers the other also is a jewel
thief out to snatch fabulous gem,
then later joining forces. When
Gable, in Far Eastern crisis, finds
himself British army officer and
proceeds to win the Victoria Cross,
things are a bit far-fetched, but
they certainly are exciting You
don't have to believe it to enjoy 1t.
The spectacle of the dark, somber
and tragedy y-ridden Miss Bette
Davis being plunked on her riding
breeches in cactus plant is still
on view downtown, too. This and
many other strange slapstick ad-
ventures befall Miss Davis in "The
Bride Came c. o. D." at the Metro
politan. Miss Davis opponent in
the roughhouse farce is Jimmy Gag
ney, playing an aviator who kidnaps
a society gal at the request Of her
father to prevent her marriage. It
winds up in romance, but not until
