Miss Gordon Saying Adieu
By John S. Rolling
CHICAGO.

CHICAGO.
The touring company Of "Over
Twenty One" features In theater
lobbies farewell appearance" sign
for the plays author and star
Ruth Gordon.
Miss Gordon has announced she
will close her colorful 3O-year acting
career at Boston when the tour ends
in May. She will devote her efforts
entirely to writing.
Tn sick Of acting" says the
diminutive, dark-eyeA star who APP
pears much younger than she Is.
I'm tired and, in fact, I'm going
way back and sit down."
Miss Gordon may be far from the
glare Of the footlight in her new
role as a playwright but she will not
be far from the theater. She has
sold her second play, Journey to a
Star" to Max Gordon (no relation)
producer OF her current success, and
she will act as adviser during the
casting and rehearsals next fall.
Her farewell to acting also was
partly determined, she says, by the
financial returns from her first ven
ture. Hollywood paid 100000 for
the movie rights to "Over Twenty
one" and she receives percentage
Of the weekly gross for royalties as
long as the stage play runs.
In private life Miss Gordon is
the wife of Film Director Carson
Kanin, now an Army ofncer in Lon
don. In her play she is Paula Whar-
ton, a brittle, high-octane authoress
who has the major share of many
Dorothy Parkerish lines.
Typical Of Miss Gordon's off-stage
brand of wit is her reply to the
question: "Of all the roles you have
played, which was your favorite?"

Spring Brings a Letdown
By Jack O'Brian
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK.
Spring arrived In Manhattan at
1925 pm. Tuesday, weeping copious
raindrops for the disappointment
which Broadway had received from
George Kelly, one of the ranking
playwrights, winner of the 1925
Pulitzer Prize and author of some
bitingly humorous libel on the
escutcheon of women. Women, we
said, not ladies.
Kelly's 1925 award winner was
"Craig's Wife" 1t was an elegant
smack in the face for the sort of
woman he ripped into SO brilliantly
and believably. He has written
some almost equally superior stage
literature, such as the riotously
amusing "The Torch Bearers" pre-
sented here in 1922; "The Show OF, !"
in 1924: Behold the Bridegroom, {"
in 1927, and Reflected Glory" in
1929.
The Pulitzer Prize winner had not
been represented hereabouts for
eight years. Therefore. when his
"The Deep Mrs. Sykes" opened Mon
day, first nighters filed eagerly into
the Booth Theater, prepared for the
best. The completely opposite was
not attained. but letdown was.
Lesson in Geometry.
"The Deep Mrs. Sykes" is, or was,
so laden with romantic triangles
that a dramatic geometry lesson
seemed to be in progress. Appar-
emily, no one in Kelly's play married
for love, or remained in that ad-
mirable state. Each was perma-
nently enamored of some one else
and the some one else in each case
was right on stage, in the tight
little social circle presented in the
play.
1t was comedy of manners: fire.
quently the stufhness of good man.
ners was leavened a bit by the
underlying conflicts of the plot,
which brought out the ugliness of
tired-out romances with a modicunl
of interest and with some letup in
the discouragingly dignified drawing
room conduct The women took
down their hair and swatted verbally
at each other in some scenes, none
very true to life and only in
frequently with any amount Of in
terest for onlookers.
The plot traced the lives of sev-
eral married couples with emphasis
on the pair played by Neil Hamilton

Fitzgerald Is Better Late Than Never

John Ford brought him to Holly
wood in 1886 to do Fluther in The
Plough and the Stars" and so, at
48, Fitzgerald began his second ca
reer.
His late start in the theater is ex-
planned by his shyness. He had no
interest in glamour and glitter.
What led him to it eventually was
his always active interest in people
and their characteristics. 1t was an
easy Jump from this to the mimicry
that's brought him fame.
Maureen O'Hara says that Fitz-
gerald played Hamlet" with great
distinction in Dublin, as well as
other Shakespearean roles.
ut was great fun," Barry says,
"and very interesting, and there
were those who thought I might
have made quite a career of Shake
spearean acting, though I don't say
SO myself. 1t proves, however,
that Fitzgerald isn't just an old
Irish character. He's an actor, and
a fine one.
Barry likes sports: he's a good
swimmer and VOWS he's the worst
golfer In Hollywood, though he's
persistent at the game. He dis
likes cards and anything provoca-
tive of loud talking or noise. He
has always wanted to become con-
cert pianist. He plays we'll, but
never took lessons.
Hollywood Is a grand place to live,
says Barry, because there are so
many talented and friendly people
here. I'm Dublin" he says, Il tired
of so much rain. Here, I find the
constant sun a trial"

you look fine, Betty. Until Maureen

of the bloom has gone with the
poundage.
There are probably more break
downs in this city than anywhere
else. Rosalind Russell, with SEEM
ingly ineXhaustible vitality, finally
Topped and was on the sick list for
months. My theory is that Roz
worked too much before the birth
OF her baby. And she returned to
work too soon after the event. Her
breakdown was delayed take-and
quite serious.
The collapse and retirement of
little Joyce Reynolds was a major
Hollywood surprise. But ever since
she has worked in pictures, Joyce
has been hipped on the subject of
1er health. Her mother was partly
to blame. She was always worrying
about Joyce catching cold or pick
ing up this and that. Now that
Joyce has retired she can give all
her time to her ailments. real or
fancied.
Having a baby will either cure or
increase Hedy Lamarr's health fxa-
ton. Always, there has been some
little thing the matter with Hedy-
a cold, a headache or just nothing
in particular, only she didn't feel
good" There's nothing like baby
for making you forget your own
aches and pains. I know. I used
to be hypochondriac myself.

She was SO tired she could hardly sit

HOLLYWOOD.
The only strong people in Holly
wood are fictional. The boys and
girls who play the healthy, brave
and mentally efficient folk in films
are more likely than not to be deli
cate, timorous and vague in private
life. In fact I don't recall any other
place where so many people are sick
so often. And it is rare for pic
ture to go through to the end with
out holdup caused by cast indis-
position.
Jack Haley who looks strong
enough, recently caused suspension
of George Whites Scandals OF
1945," because of an eye infection.
It was hard For him to throw it off

Hollywood, where she teed off with

herself to get Consequently, when

Greer, of course. is not alone in

are undernourished and as result

always shudder slightly when lady

pounds. Sure enough, the next
news I hear of her is that she is
sick.
Dorothy Lamour recently shed be-
tween Is and 80 pounds-under med
ical supervision But even that did
not prevent a bad cold. Dorothy
like Greer, was meant to be on the
rounded side. But, of course, she
has to consider that camera and its
seeming addition of 10 pounds to
the figure. I believe that when Dor

end of the war to live with her hus-

herself to get heavier; mean. near
