BROADWAY NIGHTS
 By AXEL STORM
Distributed by King Features Syndicate, |

I unveiled, he neither gave the audience greater cause to hate Hitler, nor sent them away with the assurance of tragedy which a great play might have offered. The trouble probably lies in the immediacy of the subject mat ter. Most Americans agree Hit ler's pretty bad guy, that he and Nazi Germany have done bad things. They are slowly com ing to the realization that Ger many and Hitler must be stopped, for the sake of the Germans as well as the rest of the world.
 In telling the stories of the refugees from Nazi terror, in depicting them in black and white, almost in silhouette, MT. Rice painted a picture the poignance of which suffered somewhat from the heavy hand with which the paint was ap- piled. He offered some hope when he had the American liberal turn away from isolation and pacifism, but a well-writ- ten editorial would offer as much. To tell the truth, Flight to the West" would probably be a great motion picture-a much greater picture than a play because of this very immediacy and because as a journalistic medium the movies got the stage stopped.
 Lydia St. Clair as the Bel gian refugee; Betty Field as the young American bride; Hugh Marlowe as her husband; Arnold Moss as the Yankee liberal and Paul Hernried as the Nazi dip lomat did great deal for the play with their splendid acting. Eleonore Mendelssohn was tragic and compelling German Jewish refugee, and Karl Nal den capable as the skipper of the plane. The Jo Mielziner set ting was effective.
 Flight to the West" should have the success that Robert Sherwood's There Shall Be Nc Night" achieved.

SPICY MARTIAL COMEDY NOW OR
 CAPITOL SCREEN
My Favorite Wife" Play. inc Here-Marth of Time
 Alaska TraveIogue

A sparkling treatment of the Fnoch Arden story is the delight ful basis of My Favorite Wife, now playing at the Capitol Thea tre with Irene Dunne and Cary Grant in the stellar roles.
 Described as sophisticated en- tertainment bristling with refresh ing comedy from the opening scene to the final fade-out, My Favorlte Wife" has Miss Dunne. portraylng Grants wife, returning from a scientific exploration which met a sea disaster in which all mem- hers were declared lost. Her return i5 welcomed by Grant with aston ishment joy and apprehension-be- cause he weds and leaves on his second honeymoon that very day
 By clever connivance, Grant man. ages to keep the news of Irenc's return from Wife No 2 He imnne- Giately packs up the kissless bride leaves the honeymoon hotel, and gees home-where he again meets I enc, now posing as an old friend e. the family.
 The plot introduces a handsome explorer with whom Irene spent her ssven-year absence on a South Sea island who now wants to marry her; all of which leads to a double skirmish along the ra- mantle front-wife vs bride fer Grant, and explorer vs. Grant fol J1ene-whicn builds up to the whiri- wind climax after a sparkling stream Of exhilarating comedy and exciting romance.
 As an added feature the Fitz- patrick travelogue Beautiful Sitka and Juneau" are seen in tecs,ni- color. Besides this, the latest March of Time concerning the war in Europe, is also on the screen.

To redeem it's sins, 194O gasped its last bu. managed to give Broadway two good plays Elmer Rice's Flight to the
 Vest" and the Fields -Chodorov
 My Sister Eileen" based on Miss Ruth McXenney's book. We've already told you some thing about My Sister Eileen" a gentle and amusing comedy of two Ohio girls in Greenwich Village. We'll tell you about MT. Rice's story of a clipper flight from Lisbon to New York by way of the Azores and Bermuda.
 Flight to the West" can't be put down simply as a piece 0t good journalism, nor yet, by any stretch of the imagination, could it be called a great play. It has grave faults, but tells a great story. The trouble lies in the fact that in the telling a certain amount of dramatic dis tortion seemed necessary, and that this melodrama weakened rather than strengthened MT. Rice's argument.
 On the clipper plane, speeding to America are a German agent posing as a professor of Sla- vonic literature; German dip lomat; an American oilman smeared somewhat with busi- ness-as-usual and appeasement; a Belgian refugee with blind ed American husband and a maimed daughter; an American liberal intellectual and a young, recently.married couple of Amer jeans. The bride, daughter of a diplomatic official and the bride groom, who has some Jewish blood, get rather tangled up in the arguments which start as the ship takes off and end when a bullet, meant for the Nazi dip lomat, punctures the young hus- band.
 MT. Rice ably overstates his case, using his now-famous sym posium, or Grand Hotel, techni- que. But at the Guild Theatre, where Flight to the West" was
