him again. Would that he had fallen in with more virile play.
 The drama is run off on the old stencil about the harlot with re- deeming qualities who appeals to a kind hearted but down-at-heels gent with the result that both bounce out of the frying pan sunny side up at the final curtain.
 In this particular case a novelist who has produced nothing for sev- eral years because of an unhappy marriage checks into a hotel for one of those arranged divorce-ev1- dence scenes. A bellboy gets him the necessary gorl, who happens to be our heroine Miss Holmes), and the raid is made. That would be that except the man and girl get starte dtalking and first thing you know she is ready to abandon her job as call girl and flee with him to the backwoods where he will start his writing career again. Her procurers have the girl arrested fo her planned desertion, but things come clea in the last act in 8 JuQSC . CIldulOC1O W1lC4C UA4C SAA amnesia deserts her and all is made whole.
 Supporting the two leading play es are Dehl Berti, Lorraine Mac Martin, Donald Reyes, Tom Mo- Elhany, Howard Smith, Wendell Corey, Julian Caffrey and Robert Toms.
 Authur Walling Is not to be con- demned for reworking an old theme, but he has brought nothing new to it and the lines and scenes seem to dredge up the ghosts of all such plays for the last 25 years.
 Walter Drey and George W. Brandt produced the play and Stella Adler directed.
 AND these are strictly for the record:
 Slightly Married" by Aleen Les lie, produced by Melville Burke, shuddery reminder of what the cur- rent Kiss and Tell" might have been had it not turned out to be 8 good comedy.
 Victory Belles," farce by Alice Gerstenberg, presented by Henry Adrian. This one was about the man shortage in wartime. When they come in with that type oitle, you go at your own risk.

This sort of thing usually does not pan out well on any count, and in the present case the play hardly seems worth the doing, but it must be admitted that Miss Holmes, who has appeared previously konly in summer stock on Long Island, seems to have the necessary. It is true that she could bear with a bit of restraint, as her conduct in the current play is embarrassing at times, but the spark is there and the rough edges will be brushed off in subsequent encounters with the emery of experience. They will, that is, if she is sensible young woman and there is no evidence that she is not.
 Vis-a-vis the newcomer Is Eddie Bowling, the old-time song-and- dance man turned erious actor producer several seasons ago. He does fine job with a pedestrian role adn it was a pleasure to see

Allowing Price Rise
PIun for Vegetables,
fruits Called or
BY the Associated Press.

The Office of Price Admins
tration, which had planned to in
stitute a new ceiling price arrange
ment for canned and frozen fruits
and vegetables next Monday, dis
covered today it would raise some
ceilings higher than retailers now
charge. 1t thereupon called it off
These ceilings were to have been
based on formula allowing a re-
taller a specific markup above the
cost OF the items to him.
A plan for, similar markups for
wholesalers selling canned fruits,
canned vegetables and baby foods
likewise was revoked.
In place of the new schedule,
OPA continued markups which
have been in effect for several
months for canned vegetables and
reduced markups which were an
nounced earlier this week for
canned and frozen fruits.
OPA's field Offices, applying the
new set of markups in preparing
city-wide dollars -and cents prices
for canned fruits and vegetables
found the ceilings thus calculated
would be higher than existing prices
and thus violate President Roose-
velt's hold-the-line order.
