Mr.. Nugent Is Puzzled
He Can't Choose Which of Talents
Is the Most Enjoyable

tic temperament Is probably what
has made it possible for Nugent to
do so many things and still lead a
normal private life.
Il think being born in Ohio must
have had something to do with the
normal life" Mr.. Nugent was an
SWering the back door for the third
time in some Is minutes. The
Nugent family were pioneers out
there, grandfather helping settle
where I was born barely nine
months inside the Goth century"
When he was 4, Elliott's father,
]. c., the famous actor and play
wright-rushed him into a family
vaudeville act left desperate by ill
ness. Elliott soon became one Of
the best child monologists, but his
parents yanked him off the circuit
and into school.
Vacations usually found him in
the theater. After leaving Ohio
State University in 1920, Nugent
made his first Broadway appearance
in 1921. And as early as 1922, he
was co-author with his father Of
two plays. The Clean Town" and
"Kempy." They wrote several other
plays together, including the highly
successful THE Poor Nut"
The class of 1920 at Ohio State
also listed among his bright boys
James Thurber, the artist. Thurber
was very shy, so Nugent acted as
his sponsor, getting him into his
fraternity. Thurber was editor,
Nugent assistant editor on the
humorous monthly, The Sun Dial"
Both acted with The Strollers."
Later, in 1910. these two friends
collaborated on The Male Animal"
in which Nugent also acted They
made stage history, the critics said
they left the theater in a daze of
hilarity, that the authors were
masters of the inconsequential
sequence"
They Write Twice Yearly.
To this day Thurber is the only
friend with whom Nugent can find
time to correspond regularly.
Nov We have our correspond
ence down to one letter every six
months. But for a while we ex-
changed so many ideas that neither
of us got any work DONE"
1t was another friend, Howard
Lindsay, who introduced Elliott to
the slender blond young actress he
was TO marry. Norma Lee grew
up In Cincinnati. But she is quite
adamant about having 1t known
she was actually born in Newport,
KY.
"Dulcy" was the historical pro-
duction which brought them to-
gether. In addition to being the

Elliott Nugent - director, actor,
writer, producer - never has de-
cided which of his talents gives
him the greatest enjoyment.
They satisfy different urges" he
explained in an interview at his
Park avenue apartment. He had
just finished directing the new play,
Tomorrow, the World" after play
ing the romantic role opposite
Katharine Hepburn in the recent
without Love-"
''Ill have to confess, however, that
I felt was kidding somebody try
ing to be a dashing young man in
Without Love after playing shy
roles for several years. Playing the
student with the inferiority COM
plex in The Poor Nut and the pro-
fessor in The Male Animal had
been like wearing comfortable old
clothes. Then. suddenly I had to
watch the way I walked and the
way my trousers creased when I sat
down."
Nugent had his hands full OF
problems as we talked.
He's Busy Person.
First, he had to make a third
reservation on a train for California
various developments having can
celed the first two). Then he was
trying to get by phone Samuel
GoldWyn, for whom he agreed to go
West to direct the musical to star
Danny Kaye. But it seemed that
Goldwyn was about to leave town,
too.
He had to give his wife, Norma
Lee, some last minute instructions
about the parts she is understudy-
ing in Tomorrow, the World"
Norma wasn't sure she was up to
the maid with the German accent.
Also, 15-year-old Barbara had been
exposed to the measles by a class
mate in school. A polite note in
the mail brought this grim an
nouncement.
And if these small matters were
not enough, a really profound one
reared its head as papa and mama
Nugent wondered what to do about
daughter Nancy, 10, who is fast
falling in love with the boy with
whom she acts in the play papa
directed.
But Nugent, slender. Of regular
features and with a habit of talking
in a quiet monotone, hardly moving
his thin lips, had the problems un-
der control. He was methodicallX
asking them one by one very much
as he would break a character in
play into basic symbols.

In the early days of motion pic
lures there was a particularly cruel,
brutal and horrifying villain who
was advertised as "the man you
love to hate" That was Eric Won
'Stroheim, currently engaged in
making a screen comeback.
Helmut Dantine is going Eric one
better. He even hates himself, and
loves doing it. At least he likes
playing certain roles on the screen
so well that he even hates the char
acter when he sees the completed
film.
That just happened when Dam

the audience shuddered or cringed
at the violence of Hauptmann Koe-
mig, on the screen, Dantine shud-
dered and cringed right along with
them. He only smiled gleefully
afterwards.

Grotto Is Artificial
But Realistic

Realism is stressed in the Song

William Darling, the art director,
has made an almost exact duplica-
ton of the miraculous grotto at
Lourdes.
The movie shrine is $50 feet long.
30 feet wide and feet deep, and
the water is regulated to run at
three different speeds by compli-
Gated piping and control system.
This was necessary to conform to
the seasonal speeds of the health

NEW WORK.

John Golden ran his fingers
through his iron-gray hair, let his
horned trimmed spectacles drop
down on his nose, and shouted:
That's out of the script. This
shows too damned long anyway.
Cut from here to here; now repeat
your lines"
The impresario is in the throes
OF directing his first play outside
show business-meaning one that
Golden isn't producing for Golden.
But Golden never was happier. 1t
Is another bit for the men in service.
He has done many bits for their
entertainment, but this is his first
fling at producing an Army show,
and he's like kid with new toy.
Some time ago John Golden
brought forth the idea that what
the theater needed was a dramatic
show written, produced and acted
by soldiers. He offered 5000 in
prizes. and. to his amazement, ia
manuscripts rolled in. He called in
a committee of readers-Elmer Rice,
Moss Hart, Rachel Crothers, Ken
yon Nicholson. Frederick Lonsdale
and Russell Grouse.
Five Plays Selected.
They selected five one-act plays.
These now are in rehearsal and will
be produced June 7 at the Forty
fourth Street Theater. The pro-
ceeds will 60 to the Soldiers and
Sailors Club of New York, which
needs money to buy sandwiches and
bottle of pop now and then for
servicemen who visit the club.
Col. Charles johnson, who prob
ably had more than any one else
to do with the box Office success of
Irving Berlin's This Is the Army"
is in charge in front of the curtain,
just as Golden is in charge behind
it. Johnson says the show should
bring in thousands of dollars above
the $4,000 the Soldiers and Sailors
Club needs. Mrs. Franklin D. Roose-
welt has bought two tickets at S100
each and says she wants Mrs. Henry
Morgenthau to do the same.
John Golden hadn't intended to
direct the plays. He went after
others for the job. But all asked
had too much to do, so he took
over operations himself. He's en-
thusiastic, but admits that it is
tougher than directing his own
shows.
Along with directing, the difficult
matter of finding theater also
fell into Golden's lap. He scurried
about and finally came up with the

Editor Scouts Theory
Of Miracle Houses

Improved houses will be built in
the postwar period, but they will
result from evolutionary progress,
not miracles, says Kenneth K. Stow
ell, editor of Architectural Record
In an editorial for the current is
sue of the magazine he said: THE
house of the future will perform the
same functions as the house of the
past and the house of the present.
The functions of this house will be
to provide shelter, privacy, comfort
and convenience"
With regard to the house itself,
Mr.. Stowell states that it will have
rooms thoughtfully planned for
maximum use of the space inclosed.
There will be automatically op-
Grated refrigerators, and food prep
aration will be facilitated by many
electrical devices. There will be a
garage for the family automobile,
perhaps in time a garage for the
family helicopter.
Respecting new production meth
ods and uses of new materials, the
statement continues: THE house of
the future will probably be put to-
gether more rapidly than the house
of the past, thanks to the evolving
techniques of the building industry.
Materials and equipment that can
be produced in the factory in easily
handled subassemblles will be avail
able to be incorporated in the build
ing at the site.

On Baltimore Outskirts
Planned for Negroes

A new housing project below
Sparrows Point, on the outskirts
Of Baltimore, containing 500 family
units for colored persons, is to be
developed by a group headed by
Joseph P. Day of New York City.
The Joseph P. Day Construction
Corp. has made a considerable study
of this type of housing, and the
development will comprise an in
tegrated community at Turner's
Station, Dundalk, Md Work on the
Federal Housing Administration
approved project is expected to be-
gin as soon as materials become
available. Estimated cost is given
at $2,500O00, and it is expected the
multi-unit homes will be open for
occupancy early this fall.
The project is designed for fam
lilies of colored workers in steel
plants and nearby shipyards. The
location was selected so workers
could walk to their jobs The site
fronts on Clement Cove and Pear
Orchard Creek.
Milton L. Ehrlich, executive vice
president of the corporation, will
be in charge. Gustave w. Iser, New
York. is the architect. Mr.. Day, in
announcing the start of work on
the project, said it was designed to
provide modern housing for colored
workers in the war effort. Par
tlcular attention has been given to
plans for landscaping the grounds
and providing proper environments
for those who have been forced to
live under crowded wartime condi-
tons.
The general layout provides du-
pleX apartments located in an ex-
panse of 81 acres. Stores, COM
munity center and theater are in
cluded in the general plan. Also
included are Fairgrounds and ath-
letic fields in convenient places; a
bathing beach, handball and tennis
courts and parking facilities.
The buildings will be of masonry
construction, and individual family
units will include coal-heating sys-
TENS. A group of $50 units will be
of four rooms each and 12O more
will be of four and a half rooms
each, according to the plans.
The company said the houses,
while they are being built today
for the war emergency" do not re-
semble temporary housing in any
way"
