Not that the Danish actor-singer, who is pleasant, easy going chap, makes habit of going around bop ping people. He just could if he had to.
 BrisScn started life in Denmark as Carl Pederson. At the age of 15 he won the amateur lightweight boxing title of his country and sub sequently became welterWeight champ of Middle Europe and Scan- dinavia. At one time he was boxing instructor to the Crown Prince of Germany.
 At 21 he started a stage career as 8 dancer, appearing with his sis ter and, after several years of ap- pearances in the Scandinavian countries, he went to London where he was an established favorite in musical shows for a decade. He started his film career in London and fi0ally went to Hollywood, where he made several pictures. There was time out for an appear ance in Broadway musical few seasons back that didn't make the grade.
 His engagement at the Versailles is his first super-club appearances here. As singer of romantic song he is near the top of the list and fits well into the Chester Hale revue now on display there.
 Brisson, it will be recalled, is the one who was supposed to turn up as leading man in the musical com edy Early To Bed" this summer. He opened out of town, but things didn't dovetail properly for some reason or other and the producer, Richard Kollmar, took over the job himself But Brisson still had to be paid every week while the show was running because of his run -of-the- play contract. He drew his money for about six weeks and then he and Kollmar agreed on lump sum settlement.
 ANOTHER singer popular around town just now, Dick Haynes, start ed out to make name for him self as a songwriter, and padded around from publisher to publisher with briefcase full of songs and a hopeful expression. There were no takers, but his demonstrations interested one publisher-in his

voice. He got an engagement as vocalist with Bunny Berrigan's or chestra, later went to work for Harry James, got married, sang for Benny Goodman, became father, worked for Tommy Dorsey and then set up shop for himself, following the example of his Dorsey predeces- sor, a fellow named Frank Sinatra.
 Dick had formal vocal training from his mother, Marguerite Haynes, once a famous concert singer and now voice coach. His brother Bob has been a vocalist with the Chesterf, Tucker and Mar tin orchestra and is now working in the movies ..
 In addition to headlining in the show at La Martinique, Dick is the star of a new Blue Network radio show, Heres to Romance!" A fit ting title, too, for romance is paying off for Haynes.
 THE best news in some time Is that Margaret Sullavan is coming back to the stage after too long an absence spent being a homebody in Hollywood She is not only an excellent actress, but one of the most refreshing persons you would want to see. Product Alfred de Liagre. Jr., has corraled her for John Van Druten's "The Voice of the Turtle"
 JOHN GOLDEN had such a good time engineering the play writing contest for Army men, which re- suited in a Broadway engagement for the five winning short plays under the title "The Army Play-be- Play" that he is going to conduct one for Navy men. The same rules will apply, except that women in Navy branches also may compete. The deadline for entries is mid December.
