James Hadley Chase isn't as tough as he looks. He's got a wispy nous tache, a slight stoop when he walks and, with his glasses on, he looks like g college professor. They had him writing RAP communiques for a while during the Battle of Britain but that didn't turn out well. He couldn't get out of the habit of spilling blood in every paragraph.
 For his new play, they've re- modelled the interior of the London Hippodrome into replica of an American night club. Audiences will sit around what will be not only a stage but floor where they can dance during intermissions to the down-bea of a colored Boogie- Woogie piano player. They are go- ing to get load of fast hoofing, murder. undraped blondes, Amer icar1 gangsters and tommy guns.
 During the gang-war climax, the din is terrific. The producers hope there will be no realistic cornpeti- tion from German bombs to further upset any touchy audiences.

PUBLIC REACTION
$ < $
By PAUL MANNING

(NEA Service Stan COrrespOndent)
 London, Oct. 3I-The boom in London these crisp fall evenings is not coming from German bombs or English anti = aircraft fire. The e British capital is having theatri- cal and night club boom the likes of which has not been seen since the hectic, escapist pre-war days of 1888, when every one went out at night to relax and get away rom the "War of Nerves"
 The entertainment gold rush started here in the middle of the summer, has yet to reach its cli- max. Meanwhile producers and night club proprietors are holding their breaths tensely, hoping there will be no repetition of last years disastrous season.
 194O SEASON
 WAS BLITZED OUT
 During the winter of 1940 there was virtually no real entertainment in the city of London.
 Many attempts were made to keep shows running, but as December faded into the January of 8 new year, show after show folded. Either a 1,00O-pound bomb made a theater untenable or else the people stayed home and the productions starved to death. The public, last winter, got the shortest measure of enter tainment they have ever received.
 The present boom is result. No matter what opens, the play is as- sured of an enthusiastic audience both in London and in the provin- cial cites of England.
 Musical revues in London, like the current hits, Rise Above It." up and Doing" Lady Behave" Fun and Games" Black Vanities," and "Applesauce" are sold out at both performances each day. The after noon matinees start at 2:15; the evening performance at 5:15.
 The Saville theater, where up and Doing" starring Leslide Hen- son, Binnie Hale, Cyril Ritchard, Stanley Halloway, Patricia Burke, and Carol Gibbons and his band have long been playing, was badly hit by a bomb last spring. Now it is again open with the same cast doing business back at the old stand.
 It is not only the musical revues which are prospering. People are patronizing ballet, open air concerts and art gallery exhibitions in fren- zied sort of way because they sense

week tour of the provinces soon, which is the first time any Russian play has ever toured outside Lor1- don.
 There's a new combination 1nusi- cal revue and play. which might make London theatrical history. Scheduled to open in November, it's titled "Get a Load of This" George Black, London's top flight pro- ducer, is handling the play, and judging from the money, beautiful girls now being cast and the general plans being made, the production should be either the most sensa- tional hit or most dismal flop ever to open in the British capital. Nothing in between.
 Starring Vic Oliver and Celia Bipton, 1t is something of an all- American revue. Manning Sherman, the American composer who wrote "A Nightingale Sang in Berkley Square" is doing the music. But it is the book, and the man who has prepared the dialogue and plot, that make "Get a Load of This" something to wonder about.
 BLOOD AND THUNDER
 POSITIVELY RAMPANT
 James Hadley Chase writes the toughest dialogue in England. Hes never been to the U. S., but his tough, American plots, staged against backdrop of crime and gangs in St. Louis, Chicago, Kansas City and New York, have these Eng fish gasping.
 His books, inexpensively priced, are a sellout whenever they hit the stands. It's not high class litera- ture he writes, but 1t is box office and unlike any Hollywood gangster film, something horrif1c always hap pens to the heroine-repeatedly.
 Liberally sprinkled with l1otcta blondes and lots of shooting, his milder dialogue runs like this:
 Moving softly, Raven stepped
 behind and shot him through the
 head. The gun made little hiss
 ing sound. Then Raven looked at
 the girl and raised his gun. She
 saw the little black hole of the
 barrel pointing at her, and she hid her face in her hands. The
 heavy .45 bullet smashed two of
 her fingers before it blew the top
 of her head off."
 His titles, too, have punch. 'The Dead Stay Dumb; Twelve Chinks and a Woman; "Lady-Here's Your Wreath"
