Election parties are scheduled in
a dozen Hollywood star homes for
tonight and all the gay spots are
offering lavish attractions to win
over stray celebrants.
Ginger Rogers, one of the Holly
wood-for-DeWey leaders, will be
hostess to large group at. her home,
while Katharine Hepburn, equally
vigorous in the Roosevelt movement,
has planned a rollicking time at
her place.
All the studios said they have
planned to give time off to employees
wishing to vote and in a few in
stances transportation was to be
supplied.
Some actors have wagered sums
up to 81, 1000 on the outcome. Heav-
lest plunger is Joseph Schenck,
chairman of the board at Twentieth
Century Fox, a Roosevelt supporter.
Because of the difference in time,
Hollywood figures it can do its cele-
brating, toast the winner and 60 to
bed at decent hour-providing
the race isn't too close.

With Irving Berlin here to collabo-
rate with Producer Mark Sandrich
on Blue Skies" this will mark the
fifth teaming arrangement between
the two. They began working to-
gether on the Fred Astaire "Top
Hat" musical at RKO and their most
recent venture was the highly sue
cessful Holiday Inn" at Paramount
in 194l. From the latter sprang one
of Berlin's greatest song hits, white

backing up in her most brillian,
fashion.
Harvey" is the dominating char.
acter in the play which bears his
name. He never actually appears
on the stage, however, and that is
very fitting thing. Harvey, you see
is large white rabbit, 6 feet Ia
inches tall. He is the pal Of Elwood
P. Dowd, who found him leaning
lagainst lampposJ one night, and
from whom thereafter he never was
separated. Only Mr.. Dowd, who
understands pookas in the shape OF
huge white rabbits. can see Harvey
and talk to him and they have a
great time together spreading con-
fusion in Charles saloon, a PSYCHE
atric hospital, and particularly in
the Dowd home.
When their tour of these places
is completed nightly at the Forty
eighth Street Theater here, another
audience goes into the dark feeling
extremely happy that there are hu-
mans like Miss Chase and Mr.. Fay
who still can see and talk to in
visible white rabbits. They may be
a little wistful and envious that
they are not similarly gifted, and
perhaps a little dubious that sanity
is worth the price normal humans
pay for it.
X
Miss Chase, in taking normality
and its dullness for such a delightful
ride, also pays her hilarious dis
respects to that branch of medicine
which treats of mental disorders
which bless humans with the ability
to see and pal around with white
rabbits, 6 feet tall. Psychiatrists,
one feels, should see her play at the
first symptom of overconfidence in
their profession.
Mr.. Fay, as Elwood P. Dowd, is
clearly the happiest piece of casting

lem for the people in her play, and
in her audience, in the final act in
which it must be decided whether
Elwood is to be treated with a serum
which will make 1t impossible for
him further to see and associate
with Harvey. 1t would not be rea-
sonable or fair to tell what the de-
cision is, but it should be both to
mention that taxi driver is a big
factor in It, Miss Chase gives him
one of the seasons most explosive
laugh lines, one in which he brings
the case for sanity VS.. insanity down
to the fine point of explaining that
after the serum they just become
ordinary human beings and you
know what --s they are"
Mr.. Pemberton's production Is a
bright reflection of his casting skill
in others than the principal roles.
Such subordinate players as Jane
Van Duser, as Elwood's exasperated,
frustrated niece; Janet Tyler as the
psychiatric nurse who thinks Ell
wood is the kindest, gentlest man
she ever met, and Fred Irving
Lewis as the chief psychiatrist who
ends up with great terror of Har-
vey. are superbly efficient at their
chores.

firm foundation for the wonderful

hySterical frenzies of doubt in their
sanity.
Chief of his victims is his sister
Veta Miss HulD whose desperation
over having her home haunted by q
huge white rabbit inspires her to
commit brother Elwood to Chumley
Rest, a psychiatric home, which, be-
fore the play ends, is also a COM
plete nervous wreck
1t Is the invariable disposition
Of Elwood and his pal Harvey to
feel sorry for people who are so
smugly sane that they do not ap-
preciate friendships between hu-
mans and invisible animals. They
could be annoyed, of course, over
many things. Over Sister Vetas OBJ
jections to Harvey's sitting IN the
most comfortable chair in the liv-
ing room, or to having to set a
place for him at the dinner table
for instance. Or they could be irri-
tated over the shocked surprise of
people at receptions who draw back
from Elwood when he insists upon
the courteous thing of introducing
Harvey. They could even be irked
at the generally more tolerant
people they meet nightly in Charlie S
place, an hoSpitable little saloon
where white rabbits are not accepted
until several drinks. But 1t Is the
practice of Elwood and Harvey to
leave the annoyance of this social
situation to the others. That is an
attitude that makes Miss Chase s
play so easily the funniest fantasy
of several seasons.
A six-foot white rabbit ghost
could be difficult to handle, but
Antoinette Perry who directed
Harvey" Mr.. Fay, and the others
see to it that the confusion is al
ways that perfectly calculated in
kind and degree to keep the audi
ence roaring its delight. This is
most difficult, patiently, in the psy-
chiatric home scenes, where the play
is at it's funniest with Harvey and
Elwood quietly at work destroying
the sanity of the doctors, nurses,
and guards.
