Puppe+eer
Plans Musical

THE LAST time we saw Paris
was at the Bowery. 1t isn't April
and the chestnut trees are not in
bloom, but Paris still has plenty
of the wherewithal to charm any
one interested enough in looking.
The Paris we have in mind is
Frank Paris, whose life-like pup
pets are impressing all and SUM-
dry at the Bowery these nights.
Puppetry is Paris field, but he's
thrown in a few other artistic
extras for good measure. Not only
does he dream up the designs for
his more than 300 puppets, but
his is in the throes of finishing
a two-hour musical comedy which
features puppets throughout.
"Nutcracker 1--WE with apollo
gies to TSchaikowsky), was writ
ten by Paris with gags by Fred
Heating, the only outside help
the young artist has used for the
play. Paris has designed the seem
cry and costumes. and each pup
pet was made entirely by him in
his New York studio.
He sketches, selects the music,
decides the musical aCcompani-
ment, decides the action, makes
life-size drawings, models in clay
and then literally casts the pup
pet in plaster of paris.
In a more or less frivolous vein,
Paris is making three cartoon
like puppet birds the obnoxi-
Gus little creatures who whistle
Rinse White" for their sponsors.
Paris is a handsome thirty-year
old fellow who has been making
puppets since he was Is years old.
He made his first puppet year
and a half before he actually saw
real one. getting his first ideas
from magazines and books while
living in the oil fields of Okla
homa.
During his spare time while
appearing at the Bowery, he has
designed nine costumes for the
Pat Walsh Victory Girls, and pre-
sented captain Pat Walsh with
water color sketches of each.

2 'Carmens'
At Wilson
By CHARLES GENTRY

THERE is a contest of Car
mems" going on at the Wilson
Theater this week, which is well
worth the watching.
Although Mona Paulee, the
Met meZzo, has the lead when il
comes 10 top billing, her rival as
Bizet's cigaret girl, Regina Res
mix, is a gypsy TO cope with, both
usually and vocally.
After all the hefty "Habaneras"
to which we've been subjected, il
is delightful surprise to find not
one. but two "Carmens" who can
both sing and act the role.
Miss ReSnik has voice Of such
range and quality to keep her in
constant demand in the role
while Miss Paulee has the fire
which Gladys Swarthout lacks
the face that Lily Djanel forgot
and the figure which Bruna Cas-
tagna will never see again.
We're not going to take Don
Jose's place and get into the
middle of a fiery debate about the
various virtues of these two sing
ers, but whichever one you see,
you'll admit is terrific.
This also goes for the two Es-
,camillos, Donald Dickson and
Edwin Steffe, and the two leading
Don Joses, Edward Kane and
Andrew Mckinley.
The alternate casts are both
excellent and the Leonard SachSe
production. in English, is a splen-
didly simple and an economical
example of what can be done with
fine musical melodrama.
By its effective settings, sim
plified presentation, and stunning
implication, this Carmen" stops
being Grand Opera" overbur'
dened with traditional trapping:
and outmoded pattern, and be-
comes a superb operate play.
Voices and characters all match
their parts, the dancing is splen'
did and the whole thing deserves
your immediate attention.

THE STATLER HOTEL may be
running short of everything that
hotels run short of these days,
from butter to breath, but the new
Terrace Room is feeling no lack
of personal magnetism.
We went back to do a double
take on Carl Brisson last night
and found that this international
singing star is really the charm
boy of the year.
Don't ask his age or why women
change their minds about him,
Brisson has a kind of super-sales-
manship that's going to make you
buy two television sets, instead OF
one. after the war is over.
He is shrewd, smart and elegant,
but he still retains a boyish quail
ity and a sincerity which few
people of his profession retain.
We particularly like the new
numbers he has added and he
seems to win more friends with
each appearance. In fact, as some

ability to make enemies. but Brts-
son makes friends.
The proof of this Is the way that
the Terrace Room is packed to

sure that all this crowd doesn't
just come to look at the decor.
Brisson will only be here for q
week more, so don't miss your,
chance to 'partake of this sensa-
tional supper room treat.-C. G.

The mixed pair event of the South Shore Tournament, held re- gently at the Half Moon Hotel, Coney Island, produced 8 very in- teresting hand, one that helped Miss Susan Wagner of Brooklyn and Luther Bugbee of New York to win.
 When the opening lead was made and the dummy's cards were laid on the table, Miss Wagner (North) decided that in addition to a i've card spade suit, West must hold both the king of hearts and king of clubs for a vulnerable overcall. She let the ten of spades hold the first trick, then won the second round of the suit and entered dummy with a low diamond. The heart finesse was taken, and when this held, Miss Wagner laid down the queen of diamonds. The third diamond was led to dummy's king, West discard ing low heart. Dummy's last heart was led and Vests king fell to. the ace. The jack of hearts was cashed and West discarded the ten of clubs. Now West was thrown in with a spade. He cashed three spade tricks, but then was forced to lead up to the ace-queen of clubs in dummy.
 Others who failed to place the cards West needed for an overcall took the club finesse and went down.
