How true that is. Enrol Flynn

it is fun-his very birth happened in
a place so remote that it sounds a
bit of a joke. His parents, Prof. and
Mrs. Theodore Thompson Flynn,
happened to be in Tasmania on that
10th day of June in 1909 when Enrol
was born. His father, a biologist
was conducting an expedition and
had brought his wife along. From

deal OF time reading, catching UP on
the education he never had time to
get as boy. Among them are some
Hebrew volumes; Mrs. Garfield
bought them, hopes to help John
learn Hebrew, which he rebelied
against as boy because his father,

turned him against the family re-

hOlAL WOJO.
John Garfield gives the impression
Of truculent, dynamic energy. He
is strongly built, suggests the fight
ing bantam type. His forbears came
from the Crimea, and he possesses
the emotional nature and independ-
|ent disposition traditional in South
Russian peoples.
The camera caught these charac-
teristics and almost at once he was
fitted into gangster pictures, then at
their height. When you meet him
you feel that here Is q man who
might be quick to anger, explosive In
temperament, ready with his fists.
Yet Garfield is as socially conscious
as any one in the film column; his
youth makes this more remarkable,
since most of the philanthropiSts
here are older men and women.
you can't worry about just your
own problems today, or you'll never
grow up" says Garfield.
Born in Brooklyn.
Garfield was born in Brooklyn. He
lived subsequently in the Bronx,
and because he was always in trouble
with kid gangs and the juvenile
authorities, came into the hands OF
Angelo Patri, famous educator. Patri,
searching for something to occupy
the abundant energies CT the young
miscreant, launched him on an act
ing career. Patri's ideals form the
motivation of Garfield's life today.
His present enthusiasm is over
seas tours; he's not long back from
his second. hopes for a third, unless
he Is in the armed forces himself
soon.
THE present situation offers
Hollywood the greatest opportunity
its people have ever had to be in
contact with the world of real peo-
pie. 1t would revitalize any actor
who will take advantage of the
chance to 60 overseas" says Gar
field. Hollywood so far has done
good job with its war work; we
could do sensational job"
He's too busy with postwar prof.
ects for Hollywood, such as planning
years ahead for entertainment in
soldiers hospitals, helping relocate
returned servicemen.
There's a warm human quality
about the Garfield home and family.
Mrs. Garfield, Roberta Mann, a nom
professional, is as excited as John
at their gains during six years in
Hollywood. They never expected to
live in such beautiful house, and
consequently joke about it's lavish
ness. 1t is not large, but it is filled
with expensive bric-a-brac, wood

AS to Miss Christie's play: where,
in the novel, dramatic incident
could be set forth for all to read, on

be talked instead of acted. Thus

Comedians Make Merry
By Jack O'Brian.

For a while last Sunday night,
West Forty-flfth street resembled
an evacuation hospital.
Servicemen in wheel chairs, hob
bling on clutches, leaning on canes,
the white of their bandages as much
in evidence as the khaki and blue of
their uniforms, were there, headed
for the first Of six performances,
for warriors only, of Voice of the
Turtle"
From Is hospitals came BIG of
them-soldiers, sailors and mer-
chant seamen. There were six
WACS and some dog faces from
Fort Jay. The Morosco's 955 seats
were filled as Margaret Sullivan,
Elliott Nugent and Audrey Christie
spun John Van Druten's gay and
charming tale of a sergeant on a
week end furlough in Manhattan.
Voice of the Turtle" closed Sat-
urday night for the summer, so far
as cash customers are concerned,
but the run was extended by six
performances for the exclusive en-
joyment of service men and women.
The three actors donated their
services, Author Van Druten waived
royalties, the Morosco management
waived its rental for the week and
Producer Alfred de Liagre paid the
salaries of the house staff.
BY arrangement between De Liza
gre and Mrs. Julius Ochs Adler, CO.
chairman of the New York Defense
Recreation Committee, $3.50 tickets
the Moroscos capacity for six
performances-have been passed
out. OF that number, 1892 went to
convalescent servicemen and mer-
chant seamen and the balance to
SPARS, WAVES, WACS, marine
auxiliaries, soldiers, sailors, marines,
merchant seamen and committee
aides who accompanied the con-
valescents.
Ben Cutler, baritone singer and
orchestra leader whose Manhattan
night club appearances include five
successive engagements at the Rain
bow Room atop Radio City, the
Stork Club. Versailles, the Astor
Roof and the Persian Room of Hotel
Plaza, has laid aside his baton for
a while to take over a leading role
in the smash musical, "One Touch
of Venus"
He succeeds Kenny Baker in the
role OF the romantic young barber
who falls in love with Venus, played
by Mary Martin.
