Some quiet afternoon long about
the middle of next month a man
and wife of long standing in matri-
mony will slip into the projection
room of the United Artists Corp. to
previeW picture.
What will come of that visit will
rest in the laps of those gods who
maintain supervision over the drama
in its various forms. If, however,
you ask Miss Grace George she will
tell you-at least, she told this
writer-that neither the gods, nor
even William A. Brady. her husband,
will have anything to do with the
matter.

but with every infection of finality

This decision will definitely de-
termine the character of Miss
Georges future career. 1t may find
her so committed to acting before
the camera as materially to curtail,
if not eliminate. stage appearances
in years lying ahead of her. Or, on
the other hand, it may result in an
irrevocable decision never again to
act for the screen.

Only the Critics
Weren't Carried
Away by Prince
Revival of Rombers
Piece on Br0adzvav
ArouSes Nostalgia
BY Mas Hill.
NEW YORK.


About the only people in the
audience who weren't pleased with
the revival of Sigmund Romberg's
operetta, The Student Prince"
were the Broadway critics, who gave
the show deciedly mixed notices.
The Broadway Theater isn't one
of the small intimate houses, yet
there were many standees, and the
popular "Serenade" in the fourth
act merited all of the five encores
which were necessary before the
audience would permit the show to
continue
1t has been almost a score Of
years since The Student Prince"
first was presented on Broadway.
Then the stars were Howard March,
Ilse Marvenga and George Hassell.
From time to time since 1924 the
operetta has been revived. but the
current revival is the first on Broad
way since 1881.
Even the youngsters in the audi
ence seemed to enjoy the more
popuar numbers, such as the
Drinking Song" Deep in My
Heart" and the "Serenede." while
those whose memories go back to
the original production were de.
lighted no end.
The show is we'll cast, we'll staged,
and, despite the size of the theater,
the voices were robust and carried
well. Everett Marshall, who once
sang at the Metropolitan, is the star,
but his years wouldn't permit him
to play the youthful Prince Karl
Franz, so he is cast as DR.. Engle,
who tutors the prince.
Frank Hornaday : is the prince,
and Barbara Scully is young and
beautiful Kathie, as much of a de-
delight to the eye as she is to the
ear. She is the youngest actress
ever to play the part in profess
sional production and was a student
in a Detroit high school no more
than three years ago.
The Shuberts have been content
to stick to the romanticism of the
earlier productions and haven't tam
pered with the show to make it seem
more up-to-date. 1t did seem rather
odd, however, in the midst of a war,
to be hearing once again the story
Of the German prince at Heidel-
berg.
The music of Sigmund Romberg
Is far superior to the book and
lyrics by Dorothy Donnelly, but long
after this revival is gone and for
gotten we still will be humming and
singing its haunting melodies.

This is a typical Billy Rose night

sits at table with the rest of

lyrics are from his typewriter. and
the music is by the talented Dana

In it you will find such numbers
as The Night of Unconditional

the show covers. After it is all over,

make these bale leaders," Fairbanks

savers. They are not expensive
and parts needed are to be found
in abundance.

Brown Puts Farr,
Families on Honor

WASHINGTON, March 18 (UP)-
Price Administrator Prentiss NJ
Brown will put farm families "on
their honor" not to eat more meat,
butter and cheese than other Ameri-
cans, it was learned today.
The office of price administra-
ton will urge farmers to market
most of their produce and to re-
tain for themselves only an amount
equivalent to what they would be
able to buy with war ration book
No. 2. They also will be asked not
to- use the full number of red
coupons in the ration book which
will be valid for meat, butter
cheese, cooking fats, and oils.
With farm families accounting
for approximately 24,00O00O per-
sons, officials admitted that failure
of this honor program could result
il a serious loophole in the entire
rationing system.

ANOTHER SUB
A moment later a corvette sig
nailed that it was engaging another

A third submarine showed up on
the surface. 1t madly sought depth
as the Campbell dropped deadly eX-
plosives.
Again the Campbell resumed it's
course and a fourth submarine ap-
peared. Like the others, it found
it eXpedient to submerge quickly.
A fifth suomarine came within

BY that time, the Campbell was
close to the convoy and ready TO
take up her station when the sixth

hove into view close at hand. Hit

it a glancing blow. AS the Camp

This is the story of the Coast

1t is the story of a ship, dedi-
Gated in peace to the saving of life
at sea, holding at bay a wolf-pack
of German submarines on the scent
of a convoy kill"
And it is the story of a game
ship and a game commander who
stood by each other despite pain
ful battle wounds and lived to fight
again.
The Campbell's peacetime history
is a prosaic one, except perhaps
for the occasion back in 1899 when
1it was her lot to fire a 21-gun sa-
lutte in honor of the British king
and queen and to escort their ship
into New York Harbor.
STORES UP GLORY
But in 12 danger packed hours

three weeks ago, the Campbell
stored up enough glory for the life
time of any ship. During that half
days period, the Campbell rammed
and sank huge German subma-
rine and dropped savage depth
