May Delay Dock Action

Several problems" involved in the disposition of the Army dock, now under lease to the city ot Kodiak, may delay disposal of , the project until next spring, ac- cording to word received here ] this week.
 In answer to wire sent by Emil Knudsen, local business man, concerning the dock, a let ter was received from Thomas Howell, Acting assistant director of the Department of the Interi- or, in Washington, D. C., which said:
 Con Oct. 30 the property in- cluded i'll the declaration of sur- plus property covering the Kodi- ak Army dock was assigned to this bureau for disposal under the appropriate regulations "An analysis of the documents in the declaration indicates that several problems concerning the property must be solved before It can be made available for dispo- sal.
 "These questions are of such 8 complicated nature that it is doubtful whether the project will be available for disposal until the Spring of 1947. 1 "In the meantime and until a disposition of the property is ef- fected this bureau will not dis rupt the lease arrangement pre- viouSly made between the War Department and the city of Ko- diak for the utilization of the dock by the city"

spell when Jerry thought he'd bet
ter go back to his trombone play

about to get the gate himself"
1t was at this time-in 1885
that Mr.. Hope was approached by

Caruso Started His Career.
Jerry was born in Boston-but
his name was Gerald then. Last
year he went back to Boston and
they gave him the keyes to the
city. His father was an Italian
court interpreter. His brother Joe
was assistant stage manager at
the Boston Opera House, where
Jerry heard Caruso singing. And
that's what started him of imitat-
ing opera singers in a high falsetto
voice. He spent $50 to buy his
first trombone. And he still prac-
tices-"in case," says Jerry, that
I have to do it again!'
Meanwhile, Colonna is planning
to join the independent picture pro-
ducers and is whipping up a couple
of stories in which to star himself
The first one is about Boston boy
who buys trombone and who imi-
tates Caruso, Now where have I
heard this story before?

Laraine Day and Brian Aherne
are in luck. They are getting for
their picture, What Nancy Wanted +"
all the sets built originally for Joan
Fontaine's "Christabel Caine." With
Joan's fllm postponed due to her ILL
ness, Laraine and Brian can go TO
work right away. The labor short
age being what it is. they might
have had to wait a month or so. To
fit the sets, the story had to be
changed somewhat, but the early
start is what Laraine and Brian
wanted.
Jeanne Grain has learned to drive
and has bought herself a car. And
behind 1t lies a story. Until she
could drive and until she had her own
car, her husband, Paul Brinkman,
had to drive Jeanne to the studio
and pick her up in the evening and
call for her during the daytime, if
necessary. She says that's why those
stories went the rounds that he was
seeing too much of her on the set
and interfering with her career
She figures that, this way, Paul can
stay home and out of range of the
gossips.
Betty Cradle has finished her
Shocking Miss Pilgrim" and will
refrain from picture-making until
late fall. Betty's new contract stip-
ulates that she does not have to
make more than two movies a year
And you can bet that she won't.
Here's a star who prefers to be a
wife. Husband Harry James makes
enough money to support Betty in
any way she likes-and she'd like
to be at home. When and If an
other baby comes along Betty will
stay home all the time.
Rex Harrison's wife, Lii Palmer,
has joined the bunch Of brides who
prefer to work in pictures. Her
first lead here Is opposite Gary
Cooper in "Cloak and Dagger" and
she will probably appear in Gary's
next also. She Is scheduled for
big buildup.
Bette Davis thought Of playing the
old wife in Ethan Frome," but re-
considered in favor of the part of
the young niece. She says she was
afraid of getting typed as a char
acter actress-"and I'm not that old

ways happens when a movie actress
marries man a bit younger than
she. She wants to look young and
glamorous for him on the screen

NEW YORK

4 2NS \ oAkAhs
When the box Office statement
for "Oklahoma!" is added up to-
morrow evening as this fabulous
muiscal goes into its fourth year as
the most successful tune show in
Broadway's history, the total cash,
gross, taken in by the Theater Guild
from this theatrical gold mine will
be s9,37l, 500.
oklahoma! never has played to
an empty seat, nor has it once
fallen below Is standees to a per-
formance. the maximum the fire
department will permit.
Only one musical has topped its
record for number of performances:
Olsen and Johnsons "Hellzapoppin' "
which played total of 1,4O4 times.
"Oklahoma" will pass this mark
sometime during the summer.
Tickets for any performance still
are minor victory for a lucky
applicant, and attempts to obtain
seats for the show are included in
most New York visits, along with
the Statue of Liberty, Chinatown
and Grants Tomb; and not infre-
|quently "Oklahoma!" tops the list.
A Road Show Hit, Too.
The st. James Theater, where
the Rodgers and Hammerstein de-
light is quartered, seats 1909 per-
sons. The show opened in 1943
before the current highly infla-
tionary economy hit Broadway, and
seats therefore are less expensive
than any similar major show ID
town; a new musical usually is
scaled to $6 for orchestra seats.
The imminent Annie Get Your
Gun" will have a $720 top every
night. "Oklahoma!" is scaled at a
comparatively meager $3.50.
Add to these local statistics the
amazing crosses and acclaim at
tracted by the national road COM
pany, which played 66 weeks in
Chicago and could have stayed on
except that the Theater Guild had
to satisfy subscribers in other cities
It stayed in Philadelphia 19 weeks
and left for the same reason. In
one week In Hartford, Conn, which
normally receives a show for a
split week or less, it took in a
