The whole trouble since the first
OF the year has been q dearth Of
new productions with staying pow
ers. Out of the dozen and q half
new ventures thus far In 1912 there
are only five still on view and one
OF them came in only two nights
ago. And two OF the five are reviv-
ais. Most Of the productions de-
served the treatment they got; two
or three OF the quickly departing
were worth patronizing.
50 most of the current list OF
20 productions Is o well-estahlished
one; In fact, FIVE Of the 90 are hold
overs from the 1940-4l season or
earlier.
PlaywrightS in U. 9. Service
OF course, 1t Is fine to have solid
basis OF hit plays which run and
run, but 1t long has been recognized
on Broadway that there is nothing
that helps the general well-being Of
all box Offices like a steady infusion
Of good new productions.
1t keeps the theater-goers on
their toes keeping up with the new
ones that Simply must be seem;
brings them into the theater dis
trict, where, If they can't get tick
cts for the show they have come to
see, the chances are good that they
will discover something else they
have been reglecting and lay their
money on the line for 1t rather than
go home without entertainment.
And 1t has been just this lack Of
interesting new exhibits that has
blighted Broadway affairs these last
two and q half months. The pro-
ducers claim that there are no good
scripts TO be had, and that II there
were they couldn't cast them. Some
Of the younger actors have been
taken by the armed services, Of
course, but not enough TO hamper
production. The war Is taking up

ADVENTURE FILM
STRAND FEATURE
Dangerously They Live"
Opening Sunday, Stars
John Garfield

Performances tomorrow evening at
Warmers Strand theater conclude
the engagement Of the Academy
Award winning picture for 194l
"Eiow Green Was My Valley" with
Walter pidgeon, Maureen O,Hara,
Donald Crisp and a host Of, other
favorites; also Alexis Smith and
Lloyd Nolan in steel Against the
Sky"
Topping the giant weekend show
opening at the Strand Sunday is
Dangerously They Live" starring
John Garfield, Nancy Coleman and
Raymond Massey In story that
fully lives up to its exciting title,
according to reports.
The thrill-packed Aim tells about
the extraordinary adventures Of q
pair OF everyday young Americans
who defy danger to track down
Uncle Sans secret enemies. Besides
the three starring players the cast
includes such notables as Moroni
Olsen, Lee Patrick, Esther Dale,
Ben Weldon and many others.
Dangerously They Live" tells the
story Of q pair OF young Americans
who foil the plot OF an enemy spy
ring and thus save whole fleet Of
ships bound for Britain, from de-
struction by enemy submarines, The
girl, who Is employed by q British
export company, Is kidnapped by the
spy ring, but Is injured In @ traftic
accident. Taken to O hospital, she
confldes her plight to the inferno
who Is taking care Of her, and per-
suades him to help her. When O
man appears and claims her as his
daughter, she agrees to 60 home
with him, knowing that 1t Is the
only way she can find out about the
workings Of the spy ring.
Performances are bri lliant
throughout. Garfield is ideally cast
as the young inferno, and Nancy
Coleman, a recent Hollywood recruit
from Broadway's theater guild,
shows herself to be arichly talented
young person. Raymond Massey
does one of his best portrayals as
the psychiatrist who Is secretly
working for the enemy.
Co-featuring the program Is an
other thriller entitled "Wild Bill
Hickok Rides" with Constance Ben
nett, Bruce Cabot, Warren William
and Betty Brewer heading the tai
ented cast.

does not have too many Of such to
begin with. Robert Sherwood, for
instance, probably won't be heard
from for the duration, and there
are others doing war work Of vari-
Gus kinds. Some writer's Just sit
back and view the current unheaval
as beyond thenl-what can you write
about that can compete with what
Is going on? In short, they don't
write.
No one can predict what turn
theatrical affairs will take from now
on. Some profess to believe that
once things start going our way on
the war fronts there will be an up
surge Of spirit all along the line and
that the theater will benefit. Others
look for o still darker future for show
business.
Still Good Variety
There has been speculation that
the automobile situation may re-
suit In Broadway having q better
summer than usual because there
will be less roaming away from the
metropolis now that cars, tires and
gasoline are under the war blight.
In this connection, 1t is anticipated
that the countryside theaters along
the Atlantic seaboard during the
summer months may be in for hard
times because patrons have to use
cars to get TO most OF them.
Whatever the outlook may be,
there Is a fine variety Of entertain
ment In Broadway now, even though
the list Is of some eight or ten
shows for this time Of the year, You
can't go wrong with such things as
angel Street ''Blithe Spirit"
Arsenic and Old Lace" BEST Foot

her, and the supporting cast was
chosen for its ability to make people
laugh. Among the players are Gail
Patrick, Lee Bowman, Marjorie
Main, Reginald Owen, Alan Now

Noel Coward's Broadway comedy hit,

scored one of her early triumps in
towards private Lives" In which
she also played the role created by
Gertrude Lawrence.
The, new role reveals Miss Shearer
as q charming daughter OF noble
aristocracy as penniless as she Is
beautiful. Douglas is equally high
born and just as broke. They fall
in love on sight and she jilts the
rich American lawyer, played by
Bowman, whose fortune would have
brought her family jewels out Of
hook. The marriage breaks up on
the rocks of adversely. with Bow
ma mas the happy divorce lawyer
