Whether it will 60 beyond that
Is doubtful, but at least it is en-
couraging to know that, for a while
anyhow, the hating days are over
and that men such as Mr.. Hoover

older L0an at LIllS Time IN 1874, out
we do know that she is faster than
q tennis champions forehand. We
know because we had to keep turn
ing our head to follow her move
ments over the larger -than-ever
stage which the Statler has pro-
vided for her. It probably is a silly
way to measure the merit of so
glittering a performer, but the re-
sultant stiff neck was worth 1t.
Quite a few changes have come
over Hildegarde's program since we
last saw 1t. We approve OF every one
of them.
The outstanding one is that she
has cut the number of shows from
two to one nightly, except over week
ends.
That works out just fine for those
lucky enough to find space in the
Embassy Room, for it enables her
to get more variety into the one
show than most productions are
able to produce with cast for six
principals and 16 chorus girls. The
performance we saw lasted an hour
and 10 minutes, which is incredibly
long for one person to entertain
several hundred, but it could have
gone twice that time If Hildegarde
had the energy, or were loentlcal
twins.
Another change in the perform
ance we like is Hildegarde's new at
titude toward Paris. Before We
day, she waxed threndoic about 1t
in THE Last Time I Saw Paris.
OF the liberated French capital,
which played so memorable part
in her career, she takes a much
happier view expressed in a number
that she sings with Gallo gusto-a
kind of gusto she learned properly
in Paris itself. In less lady-llke
hands. attached to such patrictan-
lv dressed figure, her vocal dealings
with France might approach the
fibald. !.
Not when Hildegarde sings IL,
however. Hildegarde is, well, Hide
garde!

nents get around to admitting it, 1t
often is apparent that the new pic
lures opening of certain dates will
be held over. That was apparent,
for instance, in connection with
Pride of the Marines" at the Earle
last Thursday, and with Thrill of
a Romance" at Loew's Capitol.
There was no question in the re-
viewers mind that the former, one
of the most crisply, nationally told
war hero stories, would be at least
two-week attraction.
Nor was there any doubt that the
Capitol's picture, with Van John
son, Esther Williams and a scad OF
other talented humans such as
Lauritz Melchoir would do the
same.
If 1t were not for "a Bell for
Adano," which opens at the Palace
