On Broadway the phonies are as

Broadway has open its heart to Jane
Frohman.
Twice nightly the lights slowly
fade out in the EaSt-side Copaca-

band plays softly, there are noises
as of scenery being moved and the
sound of a motor. Then, the lights
come on and a pretty brown haired
girl in voluminous skirt is revealed
on a platform in front of piano,
her arms outstretched.
AS she sings, the platform bear

The scar is there, all right, but
she can stand alone. A few weeks
ago, Jane took her first step with
out a cane since March 8, l943.
That was the day the clipper
crashed at Lisbon, left her with a
compound fracture of the right leg,
a crushed left ankle, right arm and
three ribs broken. diSlocated back

Jane, who shutters in private life

to tell even her husband when she
aches from dampness or being tired.
This resiliency, learned as a school

Personality parade: Joe Sawyer is
a fascinating fellow to interview be-
cause he's all wrapped up in his own
particular racket. That racket is
killing. Make-believe killing, of
course, but Sawyer puts oomph into
! 1t because he has certain set ideas
about how man should be beaten
to bits or put in shape for a slab in
the morgue.
Joe is that big, square -jawed
blond with the shifty eyes and the
permanent curl to his lips who
sneers and snarls and then suddenly
lets his victim have it. If you've
been going to the movies with any
degree of regularity over the past
20 years you've come to know Joe
and his dirty work, because he's
been at it exactly that length of

The movable platform which Plan
iSt Bo Burgerson operates while
playing her accompaniment was her
own inspiration. It's operated by
two electric motors. Jane insists
that the night club walters who
stand by during her songs are really
just waiting to see if the machinery
will fall apart.
