HOLLYWOOD, Oct. Tt is ridic- ulous. but nevertheless true, that pr. George Gallup is becoming the most powerful figure in the motion picture industry. One after an- other, studio bosses are putting up to the doctor, decisions they are sup posed to make.
 What should a proposed picture be titled? Who should star in 1t? Who should direct 1t? Should it be |Amade at all? When such questions are asked in the film mills today, the first reaction is: Lets ask George. Let him take a sample of public opinion" =.
 At RKO the other day, was ln- formed that the title of the picture based on Godfrey Homes thriller,
 Build My Gallows High" must be changed because Dr. Gallup, having "sampled public opinion" reported that Build My Gallows High is not a good box office title. Gallup IS also determining "by advance public fe-action," which of the available stars should play the principal roles.
 What a confession of impotency
 for studio heads to make! And what zany idea it is to attempt to reduce the nebulous factors that determine entertainment quality to a set of cut-and- dried charts and graphs.
 It would be just as sensible to try to predetermine the success ot 8 song by asking a few hundred peo- ple some such question as "Woulo you welcome a composition in two. four time, Titled Spring Thaw," with lyrics about lover" Good movies, like good songs, oe- pend for their success on more tnan titles. locales stars and themes. They depend on intangibles that cannot be assayed in advance.
 In an editorial last week, l report ed that the Eric Johnston Office has assembled total of 28 features, to be released nationally for chill dren's Saturday matinees. since then I've received many enthuslas- tic letters from parents, who, ike I myself. have long hoped for some 1 such actlOn. Ol COulSo, oAiA' S the opening wedge; the 28 pictures are mostly reissues, chosen with re- snect for kid audiences. Studlos are not yet producing films mace with youngsters in mind. But II mothers and fathers will now CO., |onerate with local theaters In stag nc these Saturday shows, the m ,justry will be forced to take notice; The future of matinees for boys ana
 rirls may depend upon whether or not the older folks get behind theli hnd stay behind them.
 When Robert Walker was nalleu nto court recently on a hit-ano-ru1l {l,riying charge, he was fined sooo' l1rdered to go on the water wagon Iand tod not to drive faster than oo .lmiles an hour for one year: Ine |lmdge who assessed this punishment |lsaid to the actor: You nave ibrieht future, but you're getting some bad habits. You owe IL U vour public to straighten yourseil o,,t" In my opinion, the Juoge i should have said more. walker Is < inc father of two lovely children. l think he owes it to his children, as well as his public, to chart a more sober course.

BrOadlUay Waits for 'Iceman' O'NeiU First Play in Years

many old familiar names and faces around, and number of old familiar plays that have been re- vived.
 For something else that isn't new, it will still be hard to get two for tonight for a hit show. The thou sands of soldiers and sailors who roamed Times Square at this time last year may be gone. The market may have slumped. Transportation difficulties, lack of hotel rooms, a series of strikes and other factors may have scared a lot of visitors away from New York. But still
 Business couldn't be better" says c. P. Greneker. And Greneker should know, for he has been press agenting for the Messrs. Shu- bert these many years. Joe Heidt, the Theater Guild press man, con- CUTS. He cites the several shows which opened late last spring and got the kiss of death from the cri- tics, but which managed to survive the summer-which used to make even good shows wilt and expire.
 New Talent Scarce
 The new season, by tradition, got under way on Labor Day, but the first big excitement is still to come. That will be on Oct. g, when Eugene O'Neill returns to Broadway (Where he was born) with his first new play in 13 years, called The Iceman l n nf IY I0i Nf O'Neills earlier works, is long one. It will start at 5:3O and end at II, with an hour and a quarter out for dinner
 The years of waiting for new ONeill play naturally heighten the anticipation of it's opening night But O'Neill is not the only distinguished playwright who will contribute to the seasons enter tainment. In fact, the roster of famous names bulks large on the title pages of plays cast and fore cast for 1946-47 And it serves to underline the scarcity of talented young playwrights that Elmer Rice complains of.
 Rice, with O'Neill, is the dean Of active American dramatists Each had his first play produced in 1914. Rice currently has hit, Dream Girl,' on Broadway, has new play written but not cast, and has fin ished work on the libretto of an operatic version of his Pulitzer Prize winning Street Scene" of 1929. The opera, with music by Kurt Veil, is scheduled for a Christmas Week opening.
 The list of upcoming plays seems notable for a dearth of dramas dealing with the grim realities of the present. But Rice rules out to- days unsettled times as causing the lack of young talent. That lack, he points out, back beyond the war to the days of peace
 Bergman to Star
 Nothing seems to inhibit the veteran theatrical craftsmen, in any event. Rice's colleague in the Playwrights Company, Maxwell An- derson, has new play called Joan of Lorraine" which is awaited al- most as eagerly as the O'Neill work Not only is Anderson a playwright who commands attention, but the star of his new work is Ingrid Berg man, who will be making her first Broadway appearance.
 Noel CoWard's new comedy Present Laughter is due in Oc.

tober, with Clifton Webb as the star. Happy Birthday" by Anita Loos, will serve for the welcome re- turn of Helen Hayes, and Ina Claire will reappear after several seasons absence in play called Fatal Weakness" by George Kelly. These are also October attractions.
 November is scheduled to bring more new plays by noted crafts men. Besides the Anderson play there is Moss Hort's latest, tenta- lively titled "The World of Chris topher Blake" and a play by Lillian Hellman, as yet untitled, which is to reintroduce the un- pleasant family which Miss He'll man unveiled in The Little Foxes"
 A bumper crop of musicals is in the offing Definitely set, beyond 11th-hour changes, are Park Ave- nue. in October, and Sweet Bye and Bye" "Finfan's Rainbow" and 'Toplitsky of Notre Dame" the fol- lowing month.
 Park Avenue has book by George s. Kaufman and Nunnally Johnson, lyrics by Ira Gershwin, and score by Arthur Schwartz.
 There are almost enough sched- uled revivals to turn Shubert AL ley into the SaWdust trail. Head ing for an Oct. IA opening is Lady Windermere's Fan" the Oscar Wilde museum piece which was brought out and dusted off in Lon- don last year Cornelia Otis Skin ner and Henry Daniell are the stars, but reviews from the tryout tour in- dicate that they are sharing atten- tion with Cecil Beaton's settings and costumes. In addition, the not ed British photographer makes his acting debut in this production.

The smallest dog in the world makes his screen debut in the new M-G-M musical hit, Holiday in Mexico" which opens this week on the Strand screen.
 The pup, purchased by Xavier Cugat and carried throughout the film in the breast pocket of Cugat's coast, is two-and-one-half- months-old Chihuahua and mea- sures six inches in length. Cugat named him TicoTico.
 He is only one of the many novel, ties offered in the new technicolor musical which features Walter Pidgeon, Jose Iturbi, Roddy Mo 'Dowall, Jane Powell and 1lona Massey in one of the years most tuneful casts.

OPERATIONS RIPPER

OPERATIONS ZIPPER
 The navy is now going through the process of preserving two- thirds of its fleet for combat readiness, with the tremendously complex task being called "Oper- ationS Ripper" No, it has nothing to do with bell-bottom trousers.
 Thousands of sailors and tech- nicians are working day and night encasing your mammoth warShipS in man-made cocoon of time-defying plastic sort of scotch-tape maneuvers with all guns loaded with moth balls.
 The encasing of 175O U. s Ma val vessels is the largest package deal in history. Of course, if we have lend-lease again, they'll be gift-wrapped. Everything aboard is listed, checked, and preserved exactly as it was during the war 2. A great job, but tough on the men still in the brig. It is really quite a difficult feat to zip up those gigantic boats, especially when the captains refuse to aban- don ship.
 Everything was unloaded, but the dice and everything is now snugly safe and sound. There's nothing to worry about All vessels can be unzipped in ten to thirty days And, if there's an emergency, Gypsy Rose Lee will be called in to supervise.
 AS for the sailors, the navy doesn't have to worry about pre- serving them Their uniforms are air-tight. Operations Ripper is working out SO well I under stand the army will follow suit by preserving fifty thousand second lieutenantS.

Josiah Waters Jones

In the passing of Josiah Waters
jones, on September 6, 1916, The
Montgomery County General Hos
rital has lost one of its most
earnest and faithful supporters.
A member of the Board since
its establishment in 1918, Vice
President for five years, he was
riade President upon the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Clarence B. Hurley in
1914. The duties of these posi-
tons he fulfilled with the best in
terests of the Hospital at heart.
Only urgent business, or the state
of his health prevented his at
tendance at all meetings where
his wide experience and untiring
efforts for the success of the
Hospital were a continual source
of strength to the other members
CT the Board.
The oBard's sincerest sympathy
goes to his family and friends, and
shares with them and the COM
munity sense of irreparable loss
