AiobL "SoD.
The sun was hiding behind the
clouds in a way which has become
customary in Hollywood the last two
months. Oh, yes. it is there, but
teasingly it never comes right out
and says so. 1t will be just on the
verge of breaking through, and then
change its mind.
The men out at the Metropolitan
Airport, most of them dressed in
that pocket-studded uniform of the
paratroopers, were lettering around
smoking cigarettes, shooting crap,
memoriZing their lines, having fun
with the real" Army boys-and
just waiting-waiting for that sun
to show up, so that the shooting of
collective Burma" could get under
way. The huge planes in their
khaki-paint we're waiting, too-the
pilots in their seats.
Nobody knew where Enrol Flynn
was. At last I located the hero Of
the picture sitting on a camp stool
in an old trailer, reading a manu-
script Apparently unaware of be-
ing observed, he went on, pencil in
hand, every now and then striking
something out. or adding a word.
When he finally looked up and spot
ted me, he smiled broadly and came
out to sit on the step of the trailer.

NEW YORK.
The celebrity party for Jackie
Gleason at the Hurricane Night Club
turned out to be the daffiest, wack-
lest evening in the memory of sew
eral hundred Broadway characters.
Gleason, star of the smash mu-
steal, Follow the Girls is big, fat,
funny and a very nice guy. He
worked up the entertainment ladder
by way of saloon back rooms, side
street beer joints, and as a stooge
for better-knoWn comics.
He is liked by practically every
native of Manhattan's main stem
therefore, all his pals, big and small,
turned out. They included Ben Blue,
Buddy Lester, the Wesson brothers,
Jerry Bergen, Jay C. Flippen, Roy
Sedley, Flight Officer Jackie Coogan
assorted band leaders, actors and
chorus girls.
1t was strictly comedians night.
Every time one of the funny men
tried his guest act, the boys at the
ringside, accomplished hecklers to a
man, broke up the routine.
Softer Than soft Shoe"
Asked to do a soft shoe dance, Ben
Blue took off his shoes to make it
softer Roy Sedley broke eggs, plates
and sundry furniture over his own
head. Jerry Bergen, approximately
3 feet tall, was in the middle of his
act when a girl showed a big gal
about 6 feet tall, who weighed near
ly $50 pounds, up on the floor. She
took Jerry in her arms and sang
"Embraceable You" to the pint sized
comedian.
AS climax, Bandleader Mickey
Alpert asked all of the comics to
come on stage and do final soft
shoe dance. AS a follow-up to Ben
Blues gag, all II took off their
shoes-and someone stole the shoes.
1t took an hour for the boys to
find their shoes in very funny i'm

main. One of the trio is bumped off
by revolver and the final curtain
finds the survivors, a nice young
man and girl, in the impassioned
embrace of true love. The acting by
the entire company is meritorious.
Halliwell Hobbies, as the aged Judge
Nicholas Joy, as the retired gen.
eral; Michael Whalen, as the cap
tain; Estelle Winwood, as the spin
ster, and Claudia Morgan, as a So
cial secretary, stand out as especial
ly gifted in their renditions.
Most fervently I wish all the
players in other Broadway presen-
tations were required to spend at
least one afternoon a week at this
thriller and thus acquire an object
