NEW 1o1Sh.
Although three of the fiscal
weeks new stage attractions are ex-
pected to do better by more Gus
toners and one of them is the
best thing that has happened in
our theater all season, Ben Hecht's
Lilly Of the Valley" seemed to me
the most interesting.
This is not arguing, just stating
a fact.
AS a matter Of news, it is set
down first that there is new child
star in town - 12-year-old Pat
Hitchcock of Solitaire" This is a
play John Van Druten has adapted
from a moved by Edwin Corle and
both of them seem to have pale
and blanching brains and to write
like old ladies for my money. I
don't mean old girls or good old
ladies. I mean old lady old ladies,
the kind that spend their time
clacking and clattering and creak-
ing gently, away from the life the
rest of us live.
The boys get together on a prob
lem that might have had its points.
Their leading character is girl
child who is prepared for the world
by neurotic parents up on the latest
wrinkle in child-rearing. Thus she
is completely and expensively I'M
prepared for the world.
But the Bum Functions.
AS soon as the thesis Is stated
the boys trot the kid of into one
of the messiest portions of the
world a body could find-meaning
buns Jungle that, judging by the
setting Dwight Deere Wiman has
provided. looks to be steaming away
like a pile that maggots have got
into. But 10 and behold, what

same as . 50 steak that has been
hung just long enough.
Although q nasty old plot Is
Matched for getting dough, this jewel
of q bum functions on all facets and
everything comes out okay in the
end except the play. In the end
the play seemed to be as 1t was all
the way through-an etiquetty
thing, with toothless sprightliness
in lieu of life, with touches Of bad
taste in lieu Of gusto and wrinkled
all over with much-mouthed and
gummed-up "reminiscences Of our
literary past.
The play Is q one-fingered exer-
else in the wooziness that passes
for motion among the overstufied
chairs of our theater and, since
the overstuffed chairs. are the ones
that pay OH, the chances are the
play will pay o11-not handsomely.
but enough. But the thing that
puzzles me is that some Of the
fellows on the local papers here
seemed to like it, too-well, maybe
not really like it. but certainly they
didn't react to it with as much Of
a shudder as they might have. The
only reason can see Is our theater
is getting 50 badly OF that A B G
