Sights and sounds

Sights and sounds:
Mike CurtiZ was a little teSty-
and none could blame him. Drip
ping with perspiration, he came out
of a two-hour session directing a
mammoth cafe scene for Roughly
Speaking" The lights were hot and
it was day that seemed to find
every one doing the wrong thing.
Rosalind Russell, aged some 20
years by a streak Of gray through
her hair, was supposed to be dancing
a Charleston with character
while the camera roamed
from one extra to another picking
up reactions. 1t was tricky scene
to film and at least 20 takes were
made before Curtiz, who knows in
simultaneously when he has what he
wants, called, "Perfect-print It'll"
But by this time Mike was At to be
tied-and sponged.
Sometimes I wonder if all this
work is worth what we get out of
it," he said. Here we've been for
two hours shooting something that
should have been caught in q few
minutes. And who knows the diff
ference? On the stage a good play
will run two years and be remem-
oered longer than that. We sweat
and tear our hair over movie and
what happens? In two weeks the
public forgets it."
These were strange words from q
director decorated only a few months
back for making the finest mo-
ton picture of 1943-"Casablanca."

creased by perhaps 1,400 more at
the revival Of the play at the Ma
tional last night. We have grown
since that review back in 1926-two
pounds have brought us to round
126-but we still are not a big
enough man to revise our original
estimate. "Abie's Irish Rose" re-
mains stack of badly acted cliches
and we shall not dishonor the critics
who died saying SO by deserting
them now.
"Abie's," as it came to be called
by its friends-the more affection
ately as its enemies called it their
most blasphemous names-long ago
survived more furious assaults than
any critic today has the strength to
make upon it. People like it, it

dignant words against it were ut,

years ago during its fifth straight
year on Broadway. eve shall still
drive this thing out of town. Mr..
Benchley said, as grave and funny
a group of words as ever were ut
tered by beaten feudist. They are
good enough for us today.
X X
To its no longer passionate critical
foeman, "Abie's" is chiefly inter-
esting today in terms of what the
passing decades have done to it.
It came in with the auto age, the
full Towering of the auto age. 1t
has lived through prohibition, the
boom, the depression, progressive
education, the development of radio
and now comes back during the
greatest war in human history.
Those things have had their effect
upon mankind, but not upon the
play nor mankind in its relation
ship to it. Honest reporting re-
quires the admission that last
nights audience, like all its pred
ecessors, found it dull in spots, but
never longer than it took Solomon,
Isaac, Abe, Rosemary, Patrick,
Father Whalen or the Rabbi to slam
the next cliche over the footlights.
The first act still finds explosive
laughter in the repetition of Miss
Murphy's name as Miss Murphy
ski" the one by which she is intro
duced to Papa Levy when Abe sud-
denly decides he better not admit
his bride is Irish. Every time pop
mouths the name with a satisfied
sense of Abie's loyalty to the Jewish
race, it still gets its laugh, as does
Mrs. Cohen's passion for discussing
her operation, and Mr.. Cohen's
earthly view of life or his terrified
feeling about marriage. 1t was one
Of the humane objections of her first
critics that Miss Nichols ruthlessly
overworked her old gags, never
giving the better ones more than
a couple OF minutes rest If they
promisedsanother laugh. That they
are not dead yet, after all these
years, might be an indication that
she was more knowing than she
seemed.
The second act, the one in which
Papa Murphy comes into the pic
tlre to prove that hell hath no fury
like an Irishman whose daughter
has scorned the Irish, is still the one
In which the merriment reaches its
peak. That Is really a round, If you

of the greatest pictures to come
from Hollywood. Many have been

pioneer days of America.

all out of sorts to make q crack like

tional in this revival is neither the
best nor the worst of the hundreds
that must have played "Abie's" by
now. Donald Brian's Is it's brightest
name. Because of that, what he
does in the part of Patrick Murphy
is perhaps the most arresting single
performance. Young Jean Pearce is
quite pretty enough for the role of
the harassed bride, Rosemary, even
if her brogue does have tendency
to slip. The greatest relish for his
role is that of Robert Leonard as
Papa Levy, still as apoplectically
bigoted as the first actor who played
the role. The low comedy parts,
lowest one should say, are adequate
ly performed by Abe Gore and
Bertha Walden.
The setting, naturally looks frayed,
but waht doesn't?

Symptoms of Fever

The symptoms Of Rocky Noun
tain Spotted Fever in humans
come on abruptly with fever and
usually a hard chill. Headache and
muscle ache are very severe. On
the second to fourth day the erup-
ton appears with thickly distrib-
uted red, sometimes raised, spots
on the feet, legs, hands and arms
first, later the entire body. Com
plete proStration and mental CON-
fusion are common.
The treatment is general rather
than specific. In other words, nc
drug or serum which has d certain
record of cure is known. Rest. in
bed, liquid diet and supportive
measures are the first line Of
defense. Convalescent serum and a
form of anti-serum, are some
times helpful. DR.. George Baker,
of Casper, Wyoming. has used neo-
arsphenamine in metaphene solu.
ton in the vein with increasing
success.
Prevention would be possible if
all wood ticks could be destroyed,
but that is impossible. Those who
have to 60 in wooded country
where Spotted Fever is known to
occur should wear heavy overall

D. w. NJ: Does a blood pressure
test which shows no elevation,

Answer: For practical pur-

heart are present there may be
coronary artery disease without
high blood pressure or murmurs.
The lectrocardiograph might show
some functional disorders, but
these would not necessarily be
serious.

Needs of Body

The animal body, Of course,
needs something else for its nu-
trition-protein to build into flesh
and this too the plant supplies, but
not quite so surely or abundaltly
as it does carbohydrates. Besides
carbon and oxygen the plant needs
nitrogen for proteins. If one were
inclined to carp at Nature one
could point out that one of its
major mistakes, if not its major
mistake, was in not giving plants
the power to take nitrogen out OF
the atmosphere, as they do carbon
dioxide.
In order to build their proteins
they must get the nitrogen from
the soil. Some of the plants are
very good at this-the legumes,
and this is because OF all living
