NEW WORK.

NEW YORK.
A couple of classics did moderately
well on Broadway this last week,
but only moderately, and for a
change. the playwrights who came
off less than magnificently were
William Shakespeare and Jean-Bap-
tiste Poquelin Moliere, the latter
with a completely devastating as
sist from Bobby Clark.
The Moliere play is lie Bourgeois
Gentilhomme, which has intrigued
comic Bobby Clark for good many
years. He has from time to time
announced he would like to do it,
but no producer brash enough to
encourage Bobby's excursion came
along.
Mike Todd. unimpressed by tradi-
tion in any endeavor, commissioned
Bobby to complete his adaptation of
Mcliere's comedy of manners. By
the time Bobby had finished his
research he had decided to include
some quips and situations from other
Moliere romps and, to add to this
total, a good deal of the daffy COM
edy equipment he possesses himself
In such great quantities.
Can't Do Everything.
Renamed "The Would-be Gentle
man." the result landed on the
Booth Theater's stage last week. 1t
turned out to be strange evening
from a Moliere point of view, but
quite typical from Bobby Clark
Sc nyafirp1t, a
satisfying evening in the Legitimate
theater from strictly critical stand
ards, but there are a great many
laughs. a few of which sent the
audience directly into Mysteries, and
for Bobby Clark zealots it even
may be a very rewarding two hours
of good fun.
Bobby Clark has no peer when
ne can romp around stage in a
daffy costume and do ridiculous
things with swords, food, dances or
women. He does these things a
good deal of the time, but for pur-
poses of plot, he can't be in all roles
at once.
That is unfortunate. For Bobby, in
digging into Moliere, exacted some
sparkling situations for his own
use, but apparently drew blind spot
when it came to lines and situations
for the others in the cast. AS a re-
suit, such performers as June
Knight, Edith King, Gene Barry,
Ann Thomas, Leonard Elliott, Flea
more Whitney and Donald Burr have
q minimum of decent dialogue and
stage business. The dance team of
Harrison and Fisher. one of the
leading cafe and stage ballroom
teams, also has less than nothing, if
that is possible. Even when they

the return of several veterans after

Harold Lloyd, whose starring role
for Preston Sturges in The Sin of

Smart Youngster
Solves Problem
BY the Associated Press

HOLLYWOOD.
Hollywood is the place to find
smart youngsters. The ingenuity of
a child extra on the set of Three
Little Girls in Blue" solved a prob
lem that had the adult workers 60
ing in circles. A large group of
children were being used as part of
a number of extras and the children
being just normal youngsters, kept
letting 60 of the balloons which were
an important part of the atmos-
phere. Balloons are scarce these
days and every time another balloon
scared up to the rafters of the sound
stage the property department
pulled its collective hair. One child
solved the problem. Tie small
weight to the end of the string" he
said, "and let each kid hide the
weight in his hand" That did it.
Now when a balloon escapes, the
weight drops the butane-f7lled bal
loon to the ground.
