wonderful piece of juvenile mis-
chief to need any such underscoring
as it is given by Producer George
Abbott's junior varsity, which plays
at pitch which implies that Wash
ingtoniars are deaf if they don't
actually speak another language.
Once this deluSion is destroyed,
there is no reason why Herbert's
timely fable should not be one of
the most pleasant interludes of the
local theater season. 1t is as peril
nent to its period as any comedy of
wartime emotional upset could be
and as impertinent in its implica-
tions as any playwright would dare
to be. All it needs is to be let alone
instead of being bedeviled as If its
juvenile cast really felt it could not
trust the intelligence of the audi
ence to understand. Granting that
youngsters always have felt that
way about their elders, Mr. Abbott
should have cautioned them that
the Mickey Rooney exaggerated act
ing style is not the only one.

Not even the extreme overplaying
of Kiss and Tell" can conceal the
fact that it is an hilariously funny
piece of stagecraft. Mr.. Herbert

The most laughable thing about it.,
of course, is that it is something

|Spangles Are Down
AS Long as War
Conditions Exist
BY FRANCES LONG.
NEW YORK

2NCN oIb1A.
Styles of the stage are tending
more and more toward simplicity
instead of frou-frou feathers and
f1ashy spangles.
In the words of young, dark
haired Grace Houston. who has been
theater costume designer for foul
years, most costumes of the theatel
can easily be worn on the streets or
at parties
She adds. Naturally there is
bound to be certain amount OF
frills and spangles, especially in a
musical, because they add color and
gayety.
But take, for instance, the can
can dress. 1t used to be a short
pert dress with lots of loud spangles
and a low neckline A good ex-
ample of a can-can dress today is a
long simple black evening gown
with perhaps a sprinkling of con-
servative spangles. The naughti-
ness Of an apparently neat gown
comes when the dancer suddenly
lifts her dress and displays, coyly
lots OF colored ruffles. Nevertheless
such a gown could easily be worn as
formal"
War-born shortages are a con-
tributing factor to the trend. Fol
instance, weights are out of the
question because metal is essential
for the war efforts. Now I use
strong cloth cords around the bot.

"Colored material is becoming
scarce, too, but fortunately dye i.
still quite plentiful, SO I buy white
material and dye it the color I want
"As for spangles, there was a time
when I could reach in a box anc
bring out handfuls Now I carefully
pick out few, and always search
for any l drop on the floor"

With no sign of abatement in the
flu epidemic, Hollywood studio heads
estimated today that at least II
big pictures would be delayed from
a month to two months on release
dates. Approximate cost, covered
by insurance, will run close to ST.
250,000. With stars, featured play
ers and technicians still collapsing,
this winters flu plague will go down
in Hollywood history as its costliest.
Jane Wyman's contribution to the
Warner Brothers party for high

ably will land her the plum role
of her career-that of Helen Morgan

cal comedy singer. Jane sang MY

both of them convincing repre-
sentations Of harrassed parenthood.
Young Billy Nyman as the pre-
cocious man-child of the Pringles
could do better impression of pre-
cocity if he were taught to read his
lines with more patience, and Gay
lord Mason as the innocent cause
of Corliss' silence acceptance of all
those false accusations could be a
Evening star., 1944-01-18

that neutrality-suspicious. not too lit
erally-life on virtually any back
porch in America.
The central figure of it all is the
blooming 15-year-old Archer daugh-
ter, Corliss. Time and events,
notably the war among the latter
have brought CorliSs to the almost
fatally romantic age. She thinks of
herself as grown up, and by one of
those horrible pranks through which
fate seems to collaborate with emer-
gent womanhood, she virtually con-
vinces her family that she has. The
attendant complications are as uni
versal as parenthood itself, and no
less than hilarious in their plausi-
bility.
Around Corliss' innocent brush
with the facts of life, Herbert has
written not merely fine comedy of
situation, but one almost over
crowded with perfect facsimilies of
the people next door. They not only
look. act and talk like Mr.. and Mrs
America and their children, but they
have precisely the same vanities
and inanities The feud between
the Archers and the Pringles, in
spired by the collaboration of their
respective daughters in discovering
what living is like in some of its
more innocent, but frowned upon
aspects, is like virtually every other
neighborhood feud that life and
time have begot Author Herbert,
in fact, has done an amazingly
exact job of reporting the simple
stresses and strains of rearing chill
dren in wartime. 1t has enabled
him to be amusing without strug-
Cling to be witty and it has made
Kiss and Tell a hit which prob
ably will run along for two more
seasons-and probably be revived in
the summer theater forever should
the summer theater ever have gaso-
line pumped into its veins again.
Betty Anne Nyman, a dimpled
blond child emerging from that
plump stage you know the one)
carries the bulk of the story in
Kiss and Tell" AS Corliss. she is
the one whose emotional develop
ment leads to the Archer Pringle
feud, whose oath in blood brings
that neighborhood conflict to its
delirious climax. Young Miss Ny

would be the more excellent for
being bit more restrained in Ger
tain spots.
