 1 The story concerns the tribula- tions of the dress firm of Lee Win Ston, artist daughter of the founder of the business who spells his name Weinstein. She has a flair for de- sign and comes out with terrific new line but the creditors are hound ing the firm and because young woman has temper and will not cooperate with anyone things go to the dogs in no time at all. She falls for phoney, quarrels with the man who loves her and who is the main prop of the business, gets into trouble with the union, which calls a strike, and winds up so close be- hind the eight ball that it is only by passing couple of minor miracles that the playwright gets her out of trouble in time for an II o'clock curtain.
 The play has no merits that I can think of offhand. It is noisy, full of exits and entrances enough to make carouSel horse dizzy, and generally lacks any endearing quail hies either in the writing or play ing. It does not happen to be one of those scripts that even the best actors could rise above.
 Harry Carey is coming back to the stage again, this time in a play by George Seaton called "I'n Be Seein' You" formerly named Out of This World" It is in rehearsal now under the combined manager ial sponsorship of John Golden and Harry Joe Brown, movie produc- CT of note. Philadelphia will see it first, late this month.
 Somerset Vaughan, the famous !; novelist and playwright who swore some years ago that he would write no more plays, the state of the stage being what it was, has not yet broken this VOW but he's going to be represented here shortly by a play that never has been presented professionally in this country. "Sheppy" is the name and it had a fair success in London few sea- sons back. It has to do with a little man" who comes into some money and adventures. Edmund Gwenn, the British actor who is one of the professions best, has come on from Hollywood to play the title role.
 Things like these have happened in some of the casts recently:
 Marta Eggerth left the title role of '"rhe Merry Widow to await the birth of her first child. Husband Jan Kiepura, the noted Polish ope- ra singer, carries on for the time being as Prince Danilo.
 Richard Kollmar, who quit act- ing to be a producer last summer and then at the last moment Step- ped into the leading role of his own production, Early to Bed" finally has bowed out of that musical com- edy to devote his time to the rehear- sals of a new shown he is present. ing, Dream With Music
 Understudy Betty Caulfield of 'Kiss and Tell" has been getting plenty of work. Her sister, Joan. has the leading role and Betty stepped into it when Joan was laid up with a bad ankle. It was her first time as a professional perfor- mer and she was good. Joan hob- bled back the next night. loans maid became i'll and Betty filled in as her dresser for night. Then Nancy Marquand of the cast took to bed and Betty was back on the stage in the role of Mildred. This time she got some extended experi- ence because Nancy had an appen- dicitiS operation.
