HOLLYWOOD.

When John Kodiak was in New
York recently, he gave an interview
in which he moaned and groaned
about how Hollywood was lonely
place for the bachelor. There's
Just nothing for a bachelor to do,
said Mr.. Kodiak, who is bachelor
and should know what he is talking
about.
But it's been my experience that
the boot is on the other foot
mean that Hollywood is no place for
a spinster, and that an unmarried
female in this city of beautiful
cuties, has terrible time.
But why talk through my type
writer? Here's some expert opinion
on the subject, from the famous
Goidwyn girls-l946 class.
What does he mean, nothing for
a bachelor to do?" demanded Kizmi
Stefan, sultry, tall brunette who
stopped kicking up her heels for a
number in The Kid From Brook
lyn" to give thought to the weighty
subject.
Goldwyn Girls Disagree.
Men are so scarce in Hollywood
that dates are being rationed," con-
tinued KiZmi (whose name contra
diets her conversation). "One Gold
wyn girl hasn't been out with any,
body but her kid brother since the
last draft. Mr.. Kodiak is talking
through his hat. I intend to meet
this character. I want to give him
my quick course in how to make
friends. and show him how to be the
unloneliest bachelor in Hollywood
He says he wants to get married
What's holding him back? At least
half the Goldwyn girls want to get
married, too. If he means what he
says, he needn't be single long"
Goldwyn Girl Shirley Ballard
dark eyed and cute, just laughed
when I told her of Hodiak's Ia
ment. "A bachelor who says that
there Is nothing to do in Hollywood
is lacking in imagination, resource
fulness and gas coupons, or hasn't
a telephone" stated Shirley, a
graduate of University of Southern
California. What he should do is
to join up with some established
wolfpack until he gets into circula-
ton and can operate by himself"

Dowling's, but no other names occur
to me. I Remember Mama The
Late George Apley,' up in Central

Let it 60 that the Broadway stage Of

Vonne Lester, green-eyed and a
brunette, says, Il saw Mr.. Kodiak
in 'Lifeboat,' with Tallulah Bank
head. He seemed okay. If he thinks
there is nothing for him to do in
Hollywood he should arrange to
meet some of the professional bach
elors and learn the facts Of life. Or
is he kidding?"
I don't think so, Vonne. From my
talks with John he really does
think that life in Hollywood is
dull for a bachelor.
Blond Virginia Thorpe has some
advice for John: Why doesn't he
talk to Errol Flynn? He used to be
a bachelor!"
He Needs Toughness.
I think that some of Johns bach
elor blues were caused by his recent
unsuccessful wooing of Anne Bax-
ter, and his earlier publicity ro-
nance with Lana Turner. He was
linked with the latter before he had
ever taken her out. So he probably
thought, IF this is what happens
when don't take a girl out, what
goes when I do?" He found out
with Miss Baxter. The gossips had
him eloping with her every week
1t kind of soured him on love. life
and laughter And until he grows
thicker skin, he'll be lonely
guy in Hollywood
How about some of the other
bachelors in Hollywood? We haven t
many-they get snatched up direct
ly they show their noses. But some
manage to have a good time-and
retain their freedom. At the mo-
ment, new Bachelor Robert Walker
is seen everywhere with pretty
Newspaper-gal Florence Pritchett.
When you ask him if it's a ro-
nance, Bob just smiles, so maybe 1t
is and maybe it isn't. In the ear

Busy Season
on

By Jack O'Brian

Broadway Is in a lull so far as
openings are concerned, but there Is
hysterical activity among producers
who are planning, numerically at
least, the biggest season in legiti-
mate theater history. The question
of quality is to be decided as each
opening night comes and goes but
the quantity is downright staggering.
The next opening is scheduled for
August 80, when 'The Hump" a
war play, will premiere under the
producing auspices of John Wild
berg and Harry Wagstaff Gribble,
who presented Anna Lucasta." Fiji
teen productions are announced for
September but, with customary ex-
pectations, somewhat fewer will ar
rive.
Williams Play Due.
Notable among September's first
nights should be You Touched
Me-" by Tennessee Williams, who
wrote THE Glass Menagerie";; ''Mr.
Strauss Goes to Boston," musical
comedy about Richard Strauss trip
20 Boston in 1872; "A Comedie
Franchise" by Jerome Chodorov and
Joseph Fields who wrote MY Sister
Eileen" and Junior Miss; Alice
Blue Gown" a modernized version of
the musical comedy Irene" and
"Polonaise," in which the use OF
Chopin music as a score lends i'm
portance.
Between 13 and 20 are hoped for
during October but that number
probably will reduce to about 10.
The only definite opening is an
nounced for october 10, when Eva
LIE Gallienne, Dame May Whitty.
Victor Jory and a fine cast, at least
on paper, open at the Biltmore
Theater in "Therese," dramatization
of the Emile Zola novel by Thomas
Job, who wrote Uncle Harry" Mar
garet Webster will direct, to add
more luSter to this one.
Two such disparate citizens as
Elsa Maxwell and Leo Durocher are
being sought for featured roles in
musical, Belle Brodie," for which
Martha Raye and Phil Baker may
have signed any day. Also expected
in October are Much Ado About
Nothing" with Jane Cowl and pos
sibly George Givot, and Desert
Song" a revival of the Hammer
stein Romberg Hanback, operetta;
and Mike Todd's production of THE
Would-be Gentleman" With Bobby
Clark.
De Liagre Schedules One.
Most established producers have
stout plans afoot. Paul Feigay and
Oliver Smith. for instance, whose
first show is the successful "On the
Town." have half dozen produc-
tions in their list for this season.
Alfred De Liagre, whose THE Voice
of the Turtle" still is being raised
solvently in Forty-fifth street, has
two shows listed, one by John Van
Druten, who wrote Turtle"
The Shuberts have a typically
lavish schedule, with eight shows
planned. Arthur Hopkins has five.
John C. Wilson plans four to six, in
Guiding one with Alfred Lunt and
Lynn Fontanne, and two of his
others will be musicals. Edward
Gross hopes to produce six.

NEW YORK

NEW YORK.
Having accomplished one of the
most remarkable successes in the
last couple of Broadway years, Song
of Norway will be presented in
London.
Edwin Lester, producer of the
musical which has coined SAL ,00C
every one of its 49 weeks, said ar
rangementS have been made with
Louis Dreyfus for the British show
ing after trans Atlantic discussions
which began 46 weeks ago. The long
delay was caused by negotiations
with the estate of Edward Greig
whose music, as well as whose life
story, is utilized in the operetta. The
provincial opening is set for Novem-
Der and the London premier fol
Christmas week.
Greig's music is copyrighted in
England as well as on the continent
and the final clearance of playing
rights was aided immeasurably by
the Norwegian government. Lester
said much of the official interest was
prompted by the personal interest Of
Norway'S Princess Martha, who at.
tended Song of Norway" twice while
she was in New York. She notec

is a veritable theatrical chamber Of

fractions.
The production royalties for the
British copy of the show, Lester said
are very close to the highest evel
paid for a musical.
Lester expects to go to London tt
supervise the show. The cast will be
culled from British talent; the New
York company will not be touched
The adapters and lyricists, Robert
Wright and George Forrest, and the
authors, Milton Lazarus and Homer
Curran, will be on hand for the
London opening. There is possibil-
ity that Arthur Kay, the musical
director, will perform similar chore
for short period in England.
