According to the cast sheet, the

you can gather between murders
that there is more than platonic
dfctation between secretary >and
boss. But the movies culprits must
be dispensed with before anything
can be done about this part of the
story. In the end, they're happily
hitched.
Actually, the best part of the

Nets Mystery on Dizzy Side, Quite Old

Hollywood has q problem on its
hands this week at the Metropoli-
tan. There's Jane Wyman with q
lew funny cracks to make. Alons
comes Jerome Cowan, his usual
funny man self and it looks like the
only thing to do is commit q murder
ana go on from there. However
what goes on constitutes very slow
moving set of clues and few more
murders and by that time nobody
| cares whether they're solved or not
AS far as we're concerned Crime by
Night" wouldn't be any better re-
gardless OF what time of the day it
was committed.
OF course, If you don't give a hoot
about plausibility or aren't really
particular about why or how your
characters are bumped of, you may
enjoy tracking the suspects down.
Heavens knows there are enough of
them.
There's a concert pianist with q
mutilated hand. Seems he had a
little dificulty getting along with his
father-in-law. Oh yes, there's. a
caretaker. But he's killed OF too
soon to enter into the running
Then there's a beautiful divorcee
and a crooner who is going to marry
the pianist's ex-wife. AS if that isn't
enough there's a blonde spy posing
as the pianist's agent.
For this assortment Of characters
the script writers pulled a hand

It has been an embarrassing sum-

first to confess. Accusing patrons
entirely oblivious of the nonexist-
ence Of cooling devices for theaferS

brows and looked ut him In sad
reproof for many too many weeks.
"The regrettable fact has been, u
he says, that when we could have

= have the money. Now we have the
money, but cannot get the cooling

The spot, he thinks, has been more
uncomfortable than any inside the
theater which remained open for
the first time in many years through
the summer now ending.
What is more" says Mr.. Plohn,
well get the best one that can be
devised, none Of these makeshift af-
fairs that broke down in many the
aters elsewhere during the current
summer.
It probably win keep the theater

yearly even in the less congested
postwar world of which Washing
ton should be q very prominent
part. .
When he ventures to seek what
ever measure of consolation is to
be found in the discomfort of sum-
mer patrons, Mr.. Plohn thinks hap
PLY Of one, namely, that produc-
ers long ago have abandoned the
notion that Washington Is a one
week town. The Theater Guild was
the first resolutely to set about de-
molishing that tradition, and did a
very fine. job of selling subscriptions
enough for two weeks as standard.
Other producing groups demon
strated that three and four week
engagements were not too long with
the right attraction.
Prior to the war, the venturesome
souls who kicked the present in the
posterior were John c. Wilson and
Noel Coward.
Back in 1878. they had their
hands upon promising play cycle,
nine one-act plays, produced under
the title, Tonight at $780," It
who CNAACAt IAldL CVCu q
competent cast would need time to
polish repertory of that many
plays and consequently the pro-
ducers deemed it advisable to
lengthen the normal Washington
booking to a fortnight.
Mr.. Coward can tell you to this
day that the gross for the week
was close to $4,000, a very tidy
sum.
1t took the war, Oklahoma! and
. few other hits to put the final
touches on destroying the one
week illusion about Washington,
which Mr.. Plohn is sure has gone
forever.
II the play is big enough, the
theater and city definitely are too.

pital today as a result of injuries
received in an accident on US-1l2,

automobile collided head-on with
one driven by William sawyer, 405
W. Michigan Ave, which, according
to state police, was in the fourth
lane of the highway, apparently at
tempting to make a left turn. The

without lights, state police said, and
although Mr.. Lewis swerved to
avoid striking it he was unable to
avoid a collision.
X-rays were being taken at the
hospital this morning in order to
determine the extent Of their injur-
les. 1t is believed that Mrs. Lewis
has two fractured arms and a frac-
tured leg, and cuts OH the head, and
that Mrs. Bronson received frac-
tured arm and head decorations.
Mr.. Lewis received a chest injury
and decorations. Occupants of the
other vehicle were released to go
