told. I'VE wanted you to make an
overseas tour with Carole Lands,
Martha Raye and Mitzi Mayfair.
But we were hoping that you could
tell some jokes, because Carole says
she isn't an entertainer, either"

confessed Kay. Let's do something
about it."
So the staff experts put their
heads together-and came up with
an act. Kay became mistress of
ceremonies and she was given some
good stories to tell and a dramatic
poem to read. Carole Lands was
equally well supplied with ideas.
The unit left America, visited Eng
land, Scotland and Wales and then
flew to Africa. The act was a hit.
Kay frankly confessed during one
performance that she was not a
singer and that proved to be a dare
to the little Brooklyn doughboy, who
suddenly burst out with Come on.

him over to Don Barclay, former

Grant and Barclay worked up an

But he did not care to talk much

husband-success of this Chekov
piece.
when I decided to consider its
production" he said, Il looked back
into the past. I looked up facts
about its production by the Moscow
Art Theater here in 1923-only two
favorable criticisms, John Anderson
and Alexander Woollcott. Then,
1867 when Eva LIE Gallienna
used it as the second play in her
epertory-good notices by Atkin-
son, Anderson, Gilbert Gabriel and
Woollcott. Critical progress, what?
Also, there was John Gielguds pro-
duction in London in 1888 and still
again the Surrey Players did it
here. A fair percentage of cordial
notice everywhere-but poor busi-
ness.
He Read It-And Well.
"Nonetheless the piece gripped
me, gripped me hard. A year ago
last January I read it to Miss Cor
nell. incidentally, I might say I
am not a poor reader of the drama.
But it was not because of my his
trionic ability that Miss Cornell be-
came enthusiastic about the play.
She adored it and she shared in my
desire to do it"
Well, so far so good. But difficult
ties lay ahead.

critics know one another, only some
of the second-night critics know
some of the others.
The news of the play is already
hours old. Either it has received
favorable or unfavorable notices or
mixed reviews. There is usually no
one of any special prominence in
the audience, either from Broadway,
Hollywood or Park avenue. Second
nights, therefore, are pretty quiet.
After that nearly all nights are
quiet. A regular first-nighter, who
attends show in its fifth month, is
likely to feel strangely lost in the
audience. He looks for familiar
faces. Usually everybody looks

That would bring Miss Cornell and

You see, Miss Cornell is greatly

She wants this so badly that her

Marguerite Chapman would like
to have 1t all settled.
She recently said that she wouldn't t
marry a serviceman while the war
is on, because she didn't think it
was fair to the man. Since then
she's been receiving hundreds of
letters. The Army and Navy mis-
construed her remark to mean that
she was off 'em for life.
Since she has four brothers in
the service and heaven knows how

HAVE TANK SUPPORT

The Germans, with tank support.
reached the Russian front lines
yesterday before being put to rout
in hand-to-hand fighting by a
Soviet counter-sttack. Some 1000
enemy officers and men were
killed or wounded and nine tanks
disabled.
Local Soviet attacks south of
Izyum, 80 miles down the river
from Balakleys, forced a slight
German retreat after fighting in
which 100 Germans were killed
and three tanks and two self
propelled guns destroyed
The sustained series of German
attacks along the Donets were be-
heved a prelude to an all-out Ger
man summer offensive. Front re-
ports told of the massing of Ger
man reserves at the same Ukrain-
ian bases from which the axis
launched its 1912 offensive that
carried east to Staiingrsd and
southeast into the Caucasus.
"a Berlin dispatch to the Stock
holm newspaper Aftonladet said
that the German army in Russia
was being reequipped with heavier
weapons and other new equipment,
including srmored trucks for
carrying infantry into battle. The
biggest tank force ever concen-
trated under single command
was said to have been placed at
the disposal of German Col. Gen.
Heinz Guderian for the impending
offensive
