Is years ago, His spirits fell so fast
and so far that they actually dug
an idea. Telephone calls put him in
the chips
He had to tell the other actors in
the apartment house where he lived
that the phone was on the way out.
That was bad because they all had
given his number to the studios.
But those who had been working
Clipped in a few dollars apiece and
the phone bill was paid.
The Call Club grew out of that
incident Crawford reasoned: No
calls, no work Actors need a fixed

'Copa' Open Again
With Most Costly

NEW YORK.
The major night club casualty of
the curfew, the huge Copacabana,
East Side playSpot generally accept
ed as the most successful in Man
haitian, reopened last week. al
though the end of the midnight
closing is not in sight.
The Copa brought back It's line of
beautiful show girls, generally cred
tied as the most beautiful in New
York nighteries, In revue written
by Al Siegel and staged by Douglas
Coudy. To all this glamorous en-
bellishment, owner Monte Proser

chestra and soloistS, at a price said
to be the highest ever paid an Or
chestra in New York saloon: $4,000
a week
The opening was terrific. 1t was
reported that more than 1000 pa
irons were turned away.
The new show is lavish and beau
tiful with only one thing missing
a comedian. The Copa has been
unable to find a comic available to
follow in the daffy footsteps of jim
my Durante, Joe E. Lewis. Frank
Fay and Jerry Lester. Judging by
the way crowds are fighting to get
in, however. it doesn't seem to

Ry the Associated Press.

NEW YORK.
Some of the die-hards who in
sisted the curfew would create a
record number of speak-easies in
New York City now are masticating
their pessimistic words. 1t is bit
over two months since the curfew
went into effect and no trace of
that evil business has showed its
boozy head into being, so far as any
one knows. 2
There may be one or two mutter-
softlies about town but among the
Broadway crowd none has come to
light. The school of thinking which
visualized half dozen in each block
now admits it was completely
wrong.
New York's Police Department
has been constantly insistent that
no speak-easies have opened. 1t was
an open secret before curfeW that
one or two bottle clubs" we're op-
Grating at fashionable locations.
They opened around a m. and con-
tinued until the patrons felt like
leaving
One in particular operated as a
so-called private club, had lockers
in which members" kept their own
liquor. When they dropped in, they
bought "setups," a familiar sight
in prohibition days, meaning bottles
of soda or ginger ale served with
ice cubes in glasses, for highballs.
Food also was served, mostly eggs
and bacon or ham, for which any
thing up to $5 plate was charged
The setups cost 81 each for a
6-ounce bottle of fizz water. A
party which drank a quart of
Scotch, for instance, using an ounce
for each drink, would have a check
for upward of $25 just for soda.
Adding several orders of ham-and-
eggs would kick the total up to $40
or $50; not hay, by any means
That was the sort OF hangout the
pessimists believed would immedi-
ately mushroom.
A check of New York police ex-
ecutives this week indicates that
not even minor mushrooming of
speak-easies has been accomplished
by the mobsters who were believed
to be ready to get started.

NEW Work.

NEW YORK.
What with the current housing
shortage, most people are thanking
their landlords if they have four
walls around them and a roof over
their heads. But there are three
persons in New York who have two
apartments each-both equipped
with running water, electric light
ano the other comforts of home.
The lucky three are Betty Field,
Elliott Nugent and Audrey Christie,
the cast of Voice of the Turtle. -
Each has a supersplendid tWo-and-
a-half-room apartment for a dress
ing room at the Morosco Theater
that makes other backstages look
like grease-p paint equivalent of the
slums.
Matter of fact, they virtually have

New York has to offer-With good

possibility of slowness which comes
in most musical shows when the
plot must be set in motion. The
dialogue, excellent on its own mer-
its, is set against fine music, there
by erasing any possible complaint
that the plot stagnates the score or
dims the shows brightness.
That is a device used frequently
throughout. When one of the prin-
cipals announces her engagement
she sings When I Marry Mr.. Snow.
When Billy Bigelow, the New Eng
land counterpart of the original

pected fatherhood, he does it in
song, with appropriate fatherly
pride and confusion as to whether
he wants a girl or boy. The scene

NEW YORK.
After three visits to "CarouSel,' v
each of which I enjoyed tremen-
dously, it appears to me that Rich
ard Rodgers and Oscar Hammer
stein II have surpassed their
"Oklahoma!" efforts.
Quite a while back Composer
Rodgers, writing in a national mag
azine about the future of the Ameri-
can musical theater, found the
shortcomings of the then-present
tune shows to be too much emphasis
on other attractions than real
fusion of music and writing. He
said he would attempt, with the
| help of Lyricist- t-librettist Hammer
stein. to delve into what they be-
lieved would be the proper direction
of musical drama which would be
basicallv artistic in the happiest
sense of that word, and yet have
popular appeal and perhaps even
commercial success.
"Oklahoma." Beginning.
oklahoma was the beginning
of his case in point. That was a
more successful fusion of music and
dramatic literature than previously
| had been accomplished. But
Rodgers said he and his collaboration
were seeking an even deeper blend
of the basic requisites for musical
theater-music, lyrics and book.
"Carousel' has much of the at
traction of "Oklahoma!" without
depending on its forebear for any
sort of support. Its qualities are its
own. Its music is some of the best,
possibly the very best, that this re-
viewer has encountered.
The beautiful integration Of all
theatrical idiom in "Carousel" puts
it. in my mind, on the same high
shelf as Gershwin's "Of Thee
Sing" and his "Porgy and Bess." the
wonderful I'D Rather Be Right"
and one or two others, including
oklahoma
"Carousel," of course, is fresh in
mind and ear, and therefore easier
to evaluate; that might possibly ex-
plain this present unequivocal de-
light. But I don't think so; it ap-
pears to this reviewer that Ca
rOuSel' is the most reWardlng eve
ming in the musical theater that I
ever have experienced.
Standard Hard to Beat.
Certainly Rodgers and Hammer
stein have run a gamut which will
be difficult to surpass, even for
them. They have in the first place
