HAL WAS WILD

While Newhouser allowed only
seven hits, mostly anemic misfits,
his wildneSS caused a struggle. He
walked six batSmen and was
charged with two wild pitches,
Newhouser's triumph came in
the Tigers 18th game of the year,
one-half Of the schedule.
The defeat was the ninth for
Haefner, who like Newhouser, is
a Southpaw. He has won seven. He
pitched seven innings, over which
stretch he yielded eight hits and
all six of the Tiger taliies.
The Tigers totaled nine hits off
the two fingers. Doc Cramer and
York batted home four of the De-
troit teams runs. Hank Green
berg, who played in only the first
game, fashioned a single and per-
sonally scored two of his teams
markers. Bob Swift bagged two
singles.
All of the Tigers six runs were
jammed into three innings,
Bunched hits accounted for three
in the fourth, the hits including
two baggers by York and Maier
Two more came in the fifth on
hits by Cramer and York. The
other counter came in the sixth
on an error by Al Evans, t h c
Washington catcher, on an at
tempted double steal.

The superiority of Katharine Cor
nell has been firmly established by
her excellence in occasional pieces
of theatrical shoddy such as her re-
cent Lovers and Friends" and IN
the theatrical tour de force which
has been her greatest success, The
Barretts of Wimpole Street"
Actually, THE Barretts" is no
great shakes as dramatic entity.
It does, however, give Miss Cornell
the opportunity in which every act
ress revels and which attracts the
more academic theater fans in end
less queues. The role of Elizabeth
Barrett Browning has a great
pamut: Tenderness, frustratlon, !,
pain, pathos, happiness, tragedy,
soaring romantic passages, natreo,
a bit of comedy, good manners.
Second Revival.
This is the second revival of "The
Barretts." 1t first was presented IN
1881 for 1863 performances. 1t is
theater in the grand manner, with
elegant posturings, dramatic and
colorful costumes, a rococo settlng.
In fact, 'The Barretts" does not
lend itself too adequately to the
atrical subleties. Even SO, Monday s

II it were the old gaslight lO-20-3U
days, Even Miss Cornell, accus-
toned to the role and certainly one
Of the theater's great personalltles,
was guilty of some rather proao
histrionics.
Brian Aherne, who played Robert
Browning in the original Broadway
production, repeated his role in a
style that was practically pure
Westphalian. So did Mckay Nor
ris, in the role of the incestuous
father. a part which demands some
measure of brooding broadness.
Only Grenda Forbes of the entire
cast seemed able to keep her scenery
chewing to the minimum prescribed
by Author Rudolph Besier. She
played Wilson, the maid, with sin
cerity and sensitive understanding
Miss Cornell frequently seemed to
be holding up the play almost by
herself. Naturally, Brian Aherne Is
the matinee idol sort who should
help nicely at the box Office but he
didn't help much in making this re.
viyal of "The Barretts" as much OF
O delight as it should be.

Oklahoma, the most phenom-

Broadway's history, was two years
old last night.
In Its two-year tenancy Of the.

not played to an empty seat and
there have been standees at every
performance!
In its annual cleaning Of statistics,
the Theater Guild points out that
1886, ,974 seats have been sold as Of
tonight's performance. Standees
total 43,414. The income during this
period was $3,182, 400. OF the total
seats sold 48,288 went at half price
to servicemen and women at 80 spe-
cial performances given exclusively
for them.
Adding to the general musical

ended after 60 hugely profitable
weeks only because Theater Guild
subscribers from coast to coast were
clamoring. In its Windy City stay 1t
amassed 81, ,830, 900 while playing be-
fore 842 900 persons. Right now 1t is
travelling across country, tumbling

Currently at the Erlanger Theater

Adding the two companies fig

At the moment. a USO-Camp

play the foxhole circuit.
The stories about "Oklahomap
are nearly as fabulous as its success
One famous theatrical investor,
Howard Cullman, refused to put
money into 1t because the movie
rights already had been sold for the
original Lynn Riggs play. Several
talent scouts and script agents for
movie firms returned from New
Haven after the first act of its world
premiere with stories that 1t was SO
bad they couldn't sit through it.
Cash Hard to Find.
Before it tried out in New Haven,
the Theater Guild had a good deal
of trouble getting the necessary
cash together to permit its showing.
The story is that famous play
wright whose efforts had been en-
couraged by the Guild in its and his
theatrical infancy supplied the last
$40, 900. The writer thought he was
being merely donor" and now is
happily engaged in collecting his
monthly fortune.
The most phenomenal statistic
probably, is the production cost OF
"Oklahoma!" In a theatrical era
where figures like $250,000 and
$500, 900 are banded about like tin by
the Billy Roses and Mike Todds, the
Theater Guild produced this great
hit for a comparative shoestring
500 600! Most of that went into
costumes, as there wasn't a single

'Barretts' Again on B'way

/ ish operetta at the Alvin Theater
with the help of an enviable tech
nical array, has given 1t an impecca-
BILE production and very little else.
He had Kurt WE'LL write the mu-
sic and Ira Gershwin the lyrics. The
settings and lightings were by 10
Mielziner, costumes by Raoul Pene
Du Bois, choreography and singing
ensembles by Catherine Littlefield.
He brought in John Haggott to di-
rect the book, engaged one of the
finest musical conductors. Maurice
Abravanel, and staged the whole
affair with the veteran assistance
of John Murray Anderson.
With all this, THE Firebrand OF
Florence looked very we'll on paper.
1t is a musical adaptation by Edwin
Justus Mayer and Ira Gershwin OF
Mayer's "The Firebrand," produced
here first in 1924. 1t Jared badly,
unfortunately.
Book Defects Numerous.
Wells tunes are mostly pedes-
trian. Few of them merit mention
except "Sing Me Not a Ballad" and
even that received shabby treatment
by Lotte Lenya, who was utterly
miscast. The song should have gone
to Beverly Tyler, 17-year-old i'm
portation from the movie lots.
The defects of ''The Firebrand"
sorely were evident in the book,
mainly humorless, ploddy operetta
cliche right out of the earliest Shu-
bert tradition. Melville Cooper,
playing thoroughly typical oper-
eta characteristic dumb duke with
wandering libido-caused more fun
than was rightly imaginable, for he
is an accustomed operetta hand,
able to milk the tiniest bit OF busi-
ness for all the possible foolishness
that is in 1t.
Miss Tyler Is a beautiful sprite,
with a voice and able stage pres
ence. Earl Wrightson, who played

"The Firebrand" is broadly based.
sings we'll but maintains another
unfortunately accepted operetta ira:
dition, the lack of ease and acting
agility which should go with such an
Enrol Flynnish swashbuckling role.
The rest of the large cast perform
as best they are able. The singing
ensembles are as excellent as could
be wished.
All in all, however, ''The Fire
brand of Florence" is quite disap-
pointment.
