and unhappy theory that no matter
the success and goodness of Jews
only sadness could be their reward.
Now, in Doctors Disagree" she
is dealing with some of the dis
agreeable features of the medical
profession and assuming that a great
prejudice exists, among male doc
tors, against women physicians. 1t
is all very dull and unreal and lack

In the field of prophecy-where

How to Influence
Actors and Win
Their Wives
By Jack O'Brian.
NEW YORK.


Moss Hart assured himself of at
least 80 grateful prayers each night
when he cast the feminine roles in
his air forces show Winged Vic
tory" The author director assigned
80 parts to wives of members of the
cast.
Hart found out how young service
couples hung onto every precious
moment together while he was tour
ing air bases getting material for
the play.
He saw wives of air cadets quietly
waiting all week for Saturday night
when their husbands would get
week end passes.
He saw them working in flve-and-
tens, living two and three to a room
in little towns near air bases.
AS an expert in good theater, Hart
had to turn those poignant scenes
to dramatic advantage. But the
memory of them didn't serve merely
his dramatic inclinations. They were
a guide post for his casting.
Mostly On-and-Of
That all but one of the 80 roles
played by service wives are walk
ons," or minute parts, doesn't bother
them a bit. Some of the girls are
used to stellar billing; but being
with their husbands is better than
a Pulitzer prize or a movie Oscar
to them.
