NEW YORK.

Broadway today has the rare op-
portunity Of comparing a current
movie with current play. The
title is my Sister Eileen"
Ever since Hollywood first pointed
a camera at Broadway play, con-
troversy has ragged over the question
of whether the Hollywood product
was better than the original.
Discussions generally have been
muddled for the simple reason that
by the time the film reaches Broad
way the play may be forgotten, ex-
cept in fuzzy outline. The best lines
are likely to be gone from memory,
and seeing the movie either doesn t
recover them or, in some case, actu-
ally erases the last impressions of
the play from the mind.
That is why MY Sister Eileen"
is an extraordinary case.
The play, produced by Max Cor
don, was written by Joseph Fields
and Jerome Chodorov from the New
Yorker stories of Ruth McKenney
and opened December 26, 1940 The
same three men were responsible for
the movie, product of Columbia
Pictures.
Fields and Chodorov were Holly
wood writing team before they
turned to the play To do the movie
they merely reverted to their first
love.
The results have been happy, in
deed.

New Anderson PLAY
For King.Smith

When Maxwell Anderson through
the National Theater Conference re-
leased his new play, "The Eve of st.
Mark to community theaters, he
made unique contribution to the
civilian war effort. Hailed by the
Broadway critics as the best war
play thus far, 1t is now being pro-
duced in many community theaters
throughout the country-given to
the American people to produce for
themselves. "The Eve of St. Mark"
will have its Washington premiere
Thursday at the King Smith play
house.
Leon Askin. director of the local
production, has been seeking to
develop a Washington community
theater, but has been hampered by
inadequate funds. Anderson's new

Bird in Hand
Best Revival
On Broadway
Drinkwafer's Drama
Enferfains Though
Mite Anachronisfic
Bv Laurence Perry,

North American Newspaper Alliance.
NEW YORK.-Ah yes, things are
at a pretty pass! At this writing,
which encompasses a seven-day
purview of the Metropolitan drama,
the report must be meager and but
mildly inspiriting, If even that. Two
fevivals-count 'em, two!
One is the John Drinkwater COM
edy, Bird in Hand" first opened to
Broadway inspection 13 years ago,
the other musical comedy, "The
Time, the Place and the Girl"
brought up to date in music, lines
and situations under the auspices
of Georges D. Gersene. First pro-
duced As years ago, your father may
recall it out of happy and tuneful
era when, even in musical show, a
plot was plot and song was sing
able without the necessity of husk-
ing your voice and torturing your
vocal cords in dreadfully subtle and
unmelodic dissonances.
BroadWay's bemused Watchmen of
the drama, with, so far as I know,
q single exception, were sedately
condescending about the DrinkWater
comedy. The piece, most of them
were agreed, had weathered the
years: but all were critical of the
direction. Some of the actors were
praised, others gently chided.
Anachronistic Drama.
Personally I enjoyed this fable of
q Gloucestershire innkeeper who op-
posed love affair between his
daughter and a scion of the leading
county family on the ground that
the line of demarcation between
classes must be maintained to the
end that the British Empire not fall
apart through waning adherence to
the rules of caste. In view Of all
that is happening, in view of chang
ing social thought, this comedy is
Inevitably defined as anachronistic.
But in this very fact lies its current
charm and appeal. 1t takes you into
another day, into another world, a
simple, homely, placid, lovely and
humane world-and it is very good
to be there. Here is a sweet, gay,
gentle comedy.
The Perfect Waiter.
John Golden, the producer and
playwright. sat at table in mid
town refectory. In his pocket was
a letter he had reserved for read
ing until the luncheon hour. Tear
ing open the envelope he discov-
cred he had left his glasses on his
Office desk. But when did such a
thing, or in fact anything adverse
ever defeat John Golden? He called
the head waiter, borrowed his pince
nez and perused the miSsive. This
reminded him of an anecdote. Years
ago, he said, the late Charles Froh-
man was in London, his first visit
there. On the first morning-this
was at the Savoy Hotel-he rang
for the waiter and in ordering his
breakfast delivered the following ad-
monition:
II eat the same breakfast every
day-half a grapefruit, two soft
boiled eggs (three minutes), toast
and coffee. I eat at 8 o'clock sharp
and may I warn you l am not inter-
ested in the weather and have an
extreme distaste for matutinal con-
versation."
So obediently for two weeks, pune
tually at 8 am, this servitor

the breakfast and departed, not
