The point Is perfectly made At
the National Theater this week
where Early to Bed" opened last
night. It ran for q year In New
York, rich and racy year, and now
it has come to the provinces to let
them in on the latest songs and
patter in the smut set. II it makes
asses Of the Shaws, Sherwoods,
Andersons and other thinking play
wrights, 1t also makes a huge profit
for Producer Richard Kollmar, who
obviously cares not who makes the
Nations law 50 long as he can take
1t aside and tell it dirty story.
The story, of course, is the same
one that was told to those Broad
way audiences. It Is narrated, how
ever, by an almost entirely new cast,
one headed by Doris Patston and
Joseph Macauley, and one less bored
perhaps than that composed Of
kollmar himself, Muriel Angelus,
Jane Deering and the others who
carried on in New York.

bedded in its very title. is not with

score, some torrid music dreamed
up by Thomas Fats" Waller to 20
with few fetching lyrics by George
Marion, jr, who is a much better
lyricist than drawing room story

Kollmar found it possible to hire an
attractive chorus and Robert Alton
to devise some spirited dances for
Its members. Miles White tossed of

rather striking clothes and, before 1t

The enthusiasm which these
merits OF the production arouses is
mlntmized by the embarrassment
inherent in the tawdry tale to
whose telling they are devoted.

1t as Mr.. Marion's book, Early to
