duces M. Boyer as a successful play
wright, one of those handsome.
clever, diabolically charming fellows
real playwrights seem to hope will
be regarded as portraits. He is
doing right we'll, you can bet, until
he meets DR.. Jane Alexander miss
Sullavan, whose knowledge of
medicine enables her to see through
both the author and his phoney
characters.
That piques him. as the ideas OF
an intelligent woman are likely to
pique playwright at any time. But
it is nothing as compared with the
interest he takes in her after they
are married and he discovers she
prefers an ulcer operation to his
charms
In the illustration of the wife's
theories of marital bliss, one of
which is separate apartments and
another that even playwrights
should have breakfast at 7 a. m, the
producer and director have worked
out some interesting detail. Best Of
the lot Is running gag involving an
elevator operator whose orders are
that the tenants are always right
and who obeys them with cold aloof-
ness while the wife and husband
indulge a pitched battle between
their respective apartments. 1t is
but one Of several frothy, some
times double entendre, situations
which make the clash of romantic
PHILOSOPHERS durably suspenseful and
amusing.
As they both should by this time,
Miss Sullivan and NJ Boyer handle
their roles with a slick assurance
that gets the best out of every word
Of dialogue and every intriguing
predicament. Miss Sullavan's is the
more difficult role in that as a semi
serious practitioner Of medicine
she must play with something less
than the directness of her single
minded husband.
The support provided by such
players as Rita johnson, Ruth Terry,
Eugene Palette and Reginald Denny
is quite adequate at all times, most
especially in the case Of Denny in
that brief sequence in which he
puts Boyer in the disgruntled hus-
band class.
r. -
Dave Apollon. the mad maestro Of
the mandolin, tops the longer than
usual stage show which Harry Anger
has assembled this week. 1t Is not
alone musical novelty that Apollon
supplies, however, for to him also
falls the comedy portion of the
show, which he handles very neatly.
Otherwise the bill is varied thing
which includes the six Antaleks and
their tricky acrobatics; the New
Workers, a Ben Yost octet which
does a neat job with several items
including Begin the Beguine";;
comedy dancer, Danny Drayson, and
the Roxyettes in couple Of pleasant,
handsome routines.

The Babe Gives In

Babe Ruth, after many weeks OF
negotiating, finally signed contract
to play himself for Samuel Goldwyn
in the forthcoming Goldwyn produc-
ton, The Life of Lou Gehrig."
These negotiations have been car
ried on with the Babe in New York
and Mr.. Goldwyn in California, and
it was not until Mr.. Goldwyn arrived
in New York recently and was able
to sit down and talk about the pic
ture with Ruth that the final sigma
lures were actually affixed. No date
for Ruth's departure for Hollywood
has been set. Immediately after
signing Ruth left for hunting trip.
This concludes a period during
which many companies had been
vieing for the services Of Babe Ruth
to appear in a picture based on his
life. The paralleling Ruth and Geh-
rig careers make one OF the most
colorful stories in the history of
baseball and the story of their big
league years together will make part
Of the back structure of this pic
ture.
Shooting of the picture is due to
start in January. Paul Calico is
finishing the screen play in Holly
wood now.
After signing the contract Ruth
said: "It's a wonderful thing for
me to be asked to play in this pic
ture which will do honor to beloved
Lou Gehrig. After all. there is no
greater hero in the history of base
ball. This picture will do great
job for the game as well as pay a
fine tribute to Lou. I am very
happy to be = part Of It,"

which will star Jimmy Cagney as

ter and early partner.
1t was for the II different dance

the production that Jimmy and
Jeanne we're all but killing them
selves on that rehearsal floor Jimmy
danced in a chorus many years ago.

weight since putting his taps on ice.

Cagney groaned, got slowly to his
feet, ripped out few fast taps to
get limbered up again. He pulled
his sister to her feet Moe dropped
his Racing Form and started to
thump the piano.
Ten days from now Jimmy and
Jeanne are expected to be ready to
give a spick-span dance performance
in front Of the cameras. Months

leased, audiences will probably

Manning and Director William
Seitre, who clearly said to themselves
that the retelling needed careful
pointing and refreshing touches
here and there.
One of the refreshing touches of
this anecdote of the interrupted
honeymoon is NJ Boyer's connection
with 1t. Usually it is his Gallo
charm that is the most deadly thing
about his screen romances, but this
time he is the frustrated one and
Miss Sullavan's Celtic American
charm is responsible. To his credit,
let it be said that M. Boyer takes the
other side very effectively, especially
during quick set-to in which he
plays the weak angle OF triangular
situation. There is something quite
funny seeing him grow walloping
angry when he is pushed around by
an explorer -adventurer. who laughs
derisively at domestic attachments
1t looks like a mix-up in casting for
q few minutes.

BRASS, UNION FARLEY TODAY
Contract Difficulties May Be Settled - Morgan
 Mooney To Listen In

A member of the United States Cancellation Service of the Labor Department was here Tuesday and arranged for a conference between the CTO unions and the American Brass Company in an effort to settle contract difficulties between the two groups. The conference will be held at the Hotel Elton, today. Repre-. sentatives of the unions in Torring- ton, Waterbury and Ansonia, John J. Driscoll, executive secretary of the CIO; Alex CaShin, C1O regional director; and Morgan R. Mooney deputy labor commissioner, will at- tend.
 The Federal conciliator was called into the negotiations by union off, cials who announced two weeks ago that the negotiations between com- par1y and union were a Standstill and had reached the breakdown stage. Union members in the three cities working at the American Brass Company turned down com- pany offers which did not include an additional increase in pay. The union is seeking an increase of six cents an hour for employees at the three branches in addition to provisions for & preferential shop and vacations with pay.
 The company granted an increase of four cents an hour to employees at the three plants several months ago. Previous to that increase the union was seeking a 10 cents an hour raise.

 STATEHOOD STATUS
Former Governor Law renee Judd Guest Of
 Local Rotary Club

Hawaii is following established precedent in her political evolution first colonization, then the status of a territory, and eventually, the star of statehood" Lawrence Judd former governor of Hawaii told members of the Rotary Club yester- day at the Elton.
 Hawaiian agriculture and indus try were founded chiefly by Ameri- cans. the speaker said. With all the handicaps of frontier life they pioneered Hawaii's chief industry cane sugar, in the typical American way.
 Tn this virile American tradi- tion the Territory of Hawaii has had an intimate and abundant share. It was planted first by the Yankee fur traders, next by the Yankee whalers. But the third im- pact was the most powerful of all. It came from a group of New Eng land missionaries who made the first white settlements in the Hawaiian islands. They integrated American education, ideals and in- stitutions into life of the islands"
 Speaking of the military defenses of the islands, Governor Judd stat ed that it is the American strategy to make them invincible. Deferses, he explained. pivots upon Pearl Harbor, which is the most impreg- nable naval stronghold in the pa cific."
