flercely determined that their stand
ards shall prevail.
The conflict is verbal, which is
never too good for any play. Mr..
Rice does his artful best to atone
for it, however. Making use of a
revolving stage, he is ready at an
instant's notice to create the i'm
preston of action by changing the
setting from the foyer to the deliv-
cry room, or to that of the young
mother. Ten of these changes oc-
cur in the two acts, and, while thev
create the illusion of action, thev
fail to sustain it throughout the
play.
AS with his production tricks. Mr..
Rice has done very we'll with his
characters and dialogue. Miss Field
demonstrates, in role requiring
great labor (and no pun meant)
that he had very good idea in the
mlddle-class mother who liked mid
dle-classness for itself. The clev-
erly worked drama of her character
is Sllckly supplemented by the con-
fused Prince Charming husband,
and excellently counterpointed bv
the hard-boiled loyalty and mala-
propishness of Olive, the chorus girl.
Olive, played by Ann Thomas, is
rather stock, but she is also rather
wonderful, which is a nice tribute to
Doth MISS Thomas and Mr.. Rice.
Good in their stuffy, high handed
ways are the Cleghornes, father and
mother, who represent Handsomely
the contempt which Mr.. Rice feels
1or the robber baron class. The pair
IS played capably by Walter N.
Greaza and Merle Maddern. An
other standout in the cast is John
Ireland as the jdealistic young man
Whom Edy might have married had
not Mr.. Rice decided to deal with
class Lines in "a New Life"
The very modern looking hospital
in which the play is set is the clever
work OF Howard Bay. It enhances
the Illusion that "a New Life" is
a good play instead of just an art
1ul and refreshing one, deficient in
the significance of the usual Play-
Wrlghts' Company offering.

Yesterday, such horror tale
would have been released almost
furtively by such an important stu
dio. Sure, the big bosses would say,
there's probably money to be made
in chillers, but no prestige, and GER
tainly star names can't be wasted
on them. Today, the cast of THE
Lodger," headed by Merle Oberon,
includes George Sanders, Laird Gre
gar, Sir Cecil Hardwicke and Sara
Algood.
At MGM, Top Director George
Cukor, who has never before at
tempted anything of the sort, is
striving for an Oscar with the spine
chilling "Gaslight." The cast is
headed by Ingrid Bergman, Charles
Boyer and Joe Cotten-no less.

A Credible Shade
o.: Mr. Chaplin
Is Sid Field
BY RUSSELL LANDsTRoM.

.. kzft5 LONDON. .,
A comedian who spent 30 years
entertaining provincial audiences
and Is now appearing in his first
West End show is being acclaimed
as the funniest find in years.
Certainly no other comic in four
years OF war-and the people have
been more than willing to laugh
has inspired so great ar enthusiasm
as Sid Field, 39-year-old native CT
Birmingham who went on the stage
when he was 8 and won top honors
In a children's competition by i'm
personating Charlie Chaplin.
Today certain general resem-
blances between Chaplin's art and
Fields distinctive style are not lost
upon audiences.
Like Chaplin. Field is the under
dog. He is brash Cockney in cheap
and corny clothes defying his
hecklers; well-meaning but hope
lessly inept beginner at golf; the
fellow who practically always is
pushed around.
Both Chaplin and Field owe much
to their superb training In panto-
mine. After Field made the most
of his first chance, ne toured with
child troupes and then joined the
IA Klno Juveniles specializing in the
songs of broken-down dandies. He
played in the Birmingham Theater
Royal Pantomine, hit the read in
concert parties, and eventually
landed a job in revue called "On
the Run" in which his only appear
ance was bull-a one-man bull,
for he was both ends of the animal.
A succession of shows presented
him as straight man or stooge. None
of the big breaks came his way until
one night in the Theater Royal at
Bury. The comedian of the show
fell Ill, and Sid took over his part.
Thenceforth, he got spacious billing
as a comedian.
He has played in pantomine, vari-
ETY., revues or musical comedy in
virtually every theater il, tie prov
inces. He toured Australia, where
his elder daughter, Dianne, now
years old, was born.
He is husky man with highly
mobile tace. If some persons go
so far as to call him genius it is
largely because he remains faithful
to the sources of his comedy; he
doesn't rely, as do so many others,
upon transparent variations of old
Jokes and gags, and. except in
brief paccdy, he is steadfastly Eng
lish in Gay when comedians find
it hard TO resist the temptation to
employ Americanisms.
Maybe that is why he is one OF
the few English comedians that
Americans over here really like.
Ofstage, Field is afeable, likable
and highly sppreciative of his sue
cess. He is fond of Americans and
is delighted to have them in his
audiences, feeling that they have
"a wonderful critical sense" which
helps him to keep on MS toes.

child-to which his play gives birth
almost In front of your very eyes,
symbolizes that which he foresees.
Class lines will be obliterated, the
privileged will understand the I'M
derprivileged and, in turn, may even
be understood by them if they come
pure in the present ordeal. If all
this turns out to be mere wishful
thinking on Mr.. Rice's part, it is a
hope easy to enter with him. and
the play in which he reveals it is
merry enough and dramatic enough
to warrant attention.
"A New Life" which stars Betty
Field, who is Mrs. Rice in private
life, will not go down In the history
of the theater as one of the DRAM
atist's major works. 1t is something
more than pot-boiler, although
not much, but pot-boiler by MIR.
Rice is better than the grade-A
stuff of lesser playwrights. Ger
tainly few of them would have had
the daring or the skill to write
scene in the delivery room of ma
ternity hospital, one which comes
Of as neat segment of comedy, as
well as a piece of sensationalism de-
signed to make people talk. CPeo-
pies talking on subjects like that
never hurt public interest in a play,
even If such thought never crossed
Mr.. Rice's mind)
X
The plot upon which the author
hangs his talk of the postwar world
and his obstetrical observations is
essentially simple one. A night
club dancer becomes the war bride
OF the scion of one of the Big Steel
families. While he goes off to get
shot down in Jap-held Jungle,
she goes to the maternity hospital
to expiate the dizzy fortnight they
lived prior to his orders to the
Pacific zone.
The whole action of the play Is
confined to the hospital, the foyer
of the maternity ward, Edy's pri-
vate room and the delivery room.
In these odd precincts, which Mr..
Rice's taste keeps from being en-
barrassing, one encounters an elab-
crate assortment of characters.
There is not much room for them to
move about, as you probably realize
If you ever have been in such a
place. They do, however, make a
lot more OF vocal noise than is the
custom. In fact, there is a savage
war going on between the old So
ciai PHILOSOPHERS represented by the
Big Steel mother and father of the
bridegroom and the little people
who represent the young mothers

elums.
The object of the battle is the
baby, naturally. In the eyes of his
paternal grandparents he must be
reared as a crown prince, and there
is no limit to which they will not

mother and her friends, a tigerish

If you scare easily, pick your
movie entertainment with care these
coming fall and winter nights, fol
Hollywood is piling up a united sock
in the way of thrills and chills that
may send you staggering to your
favorite neurologist. The bogey man
| is moving in-on all fours!
This profitable business of soaring
the movie patron started, humbly
enough, back in 1881 when Universal
concocted new type of hair-raiser
called "Frankenstein." In that one, a
paSty-faced monster terrorized a
countryside with such devastating
effect that wide-awake showmen in
stalled nurses and first-aid stands in
their lobbies-preSumably to revive
collapsible patrons unable to stand
up under the terrifying goings-on
reflected from the screen.
Since that time, there have been
"Frankenstein" sequels and varia-
tion- almost beyond number. All of
them have collected big returns. At
first the horror film was scorned by
the majors. 1t was an exclusive out
put of the smaller studios and the
big fellows felt that the carriage
trade would never fall for that type
of CUFF.
Now, they fatty admit they were
wrong. After casting envious eyes
at the crosses piled up by horror and
superhorror films, the larger studios
have determined to cut into that
melon themselves. So, what hap
pens? Today it's everybody's busi-
ness-and big business, too.
Right now the panic is really get
ting into full swing. Production
charts show that the classiest crop

attempted to raise at one time is

Truman Committee
Members DenyError
In Ship Loss Report
Answer Knox's Statement
Thot Method Used Gave
Incorrect Comparison

Two members of the Truman
Committee today denied charges by
Secretary of the Navy Knox that the
committees conclusions on ship
losses had been erroneous because of
the method of figuring used.
Responding to press conference
statement on the report by Mr..
Knox, in which he said the commit.
tee used gross tons in discussing ship
losses and deadweight tons in ex-
pressing construction totals, Sena-
tors Brewster, Republican, of Maine,
and Mead, Democrat, of New York,
told reporters that the same unit
deadweight tonnage-was used in
determining the tonnage of sinkings
as well as launchings.
The two Senators also said the
shipbuilding report had been sub
mitted to the Navy and other inter-
ested departments several days
ahead of its public release and that
no comment had been forthcoming
from the Navy.
Secretary Knox told his press
conference yesterday that Allied
ship construction actually exceeded
Allied ship losses during 1912 in de-
scribing as erroneous a conclusion
by the Truman Committee that
losses had been gre.ter.
The Secretary described as very
seriously off" the committees report,
which said losses caused by U-boats
last year averaged approximately
100000 tons of shipping a month
and in aggregate exceeded the new
construction built by the United
States and Great Britain"
