Duryea's villainy-professional OF
course-has been known to theaters
for great many years. AS the
vicious son in "The Little Foxes"
with Tallulah Bankhead, he made
his presence felt even on a stage
full of those Giddens people. That
was quite an accomplishment for
any young actor and Hollywood had
no choice but to add Duryea to its
collection of villains.
Once signed for pictures, however,
he languished in comparatively
minor roles until Walter Wanger
explored the limits of his toughness

Triangle Club Here
Last Night With
Its Annual Show
Rv Harry oeArfhur
By Harry Macarthur

Another of the Nations prewar
institutions returning to its old
place in the scheme of things
is Princeton University's Triangle
Club, which last night brought its
first postwar production to town
for presentation at Roosevelt High
School. Clear the Track" the
fifty-fifth annual Triangle Club
musical, is a lively show. 1t has
it's amateurish moments. being an
amateur oduction, but it also mas
a number of indications that
Princeton has some clever young
men among it's undergraduates and
its recent alumni. Its music is
pleasant, it,, script has some bright
comedy and the playing Is, to say
the least, enthusiastic.
"Clear the Track" is, of course, the
sort of thing more appreciated by a
special audience than general one,
a revue with more laughs for a
Princetonian than an Oxonian or
a Southern Californian. The sight
of athletically ungainly young men
dressed up like chorus girls is more
hilarious to an old Triangle man
who remembers how it was than to
any one else, for example. The young
men do cut some funny capers,
though, for, like trained seals play
ing the "Star Spangled Banner, :"
it is not that they do it well that
is impressive, but that they can do
1t at all.
The book of "Clear the Tracks"
concerns itself satirically with such
varied items as veterans on the
campus, the Princeton bicentennial
and show business and it makes quite
as much sense as the book for any
musical revue. 1t is brightest when
it is dealing with subjects closer to
the writers Clifford w. Hankin,
Thomas j. King, Dennis F. Shana-
han and Hugh B. Hanson), such as
the returned GI's and the rivalry
between Princeton and Yale. Our
fayorite line on this latter subject
comes along shortly after a young
Yale man hoaxes some Princeton
trustees into believing their school
is only 199 years old. "Why did I
do it?" he asks himself. II sort of
like it here-no street cars, no Hotel
Taft, no Night and Day"
Musically, the Triangle Club show
for 1916 is at its best in More Like
an Angel" by John H. MacFayden
and Mark Lawrence, and Il Love to
Go on a Picnic" by MacFayden.
Both are hummable tunes you may
be hearing more of.

same studio. For the first time In
years. there now is an overabun-
dance of actors in Hollywood. I
hope that Jim lands job elsewhere.
He's nice.
Republic studio is in a bit of a
spot because it has three pictures
that require new titles-Don Anne
che's Gallant Man. Books Are
Lighter Than Rifles" (can you see
that on the marquee?) and the Mel
son Eddy-Ilona Massey picture, now
almost completed . Orson Welles
tripped and sprained his ankle on
the set of THE Lady From Shang-
hal" I was very surprised when
Rita Hayworth, Glenn Anders, Ev-
erett Sloane and other members of
the Mercury Theater rushed to Or
son, and congratulated him! 1t
seems that Orson used to sprain
his ankle rather frequently when he
was with the Mercury Theater and
every time he did so, the play was
a success. His sprain this time was
very painful. That means his pic
ture will be great success-they
hope.
Robert Cummings leading lady in
Heaven Only Knows is Helen
Walker. Her role is that of bad

been rewritten Ella Raines is
making her first film, Time Out of
Mind" in which she doesn't have
a man to her name. In the first ver-
sion there was a man for her but
he was written out. But it's the
best part I ever had" says Ella who
says that her resolution for 1947 is
ito devote all my time to my Ca
reer." That sounds dull.

residents, Vallee's is the one which
seems most likely to materialize.
If it does, one of the places likely
to see him is washington. He always
has done we'll here, mostly at the
Capitol Theater, on which he last
appeared as the top man in con-
densed musical featuring Coast
Guard talent.
In the days of enormously expen-
sive vaudeville attractions, Vallee
was one of the most enormously ex-
pensiye.
"The Iceman Cometh" has won
it's second Critics circle members
vote as the best play Of the 1916
season. The ballot caster is George
Freedley of the Morning Telegraph
He placed the O'Neill drama, one
of the outstanding hits of the sea-
son, at the top of his list.
The earlier "Iceman" vote was
that of Harry Bull, editor of Town
and Country.
Two critics, of course, do not
make a Critics Circle prize award
The best they can accomplish is
indicate which way the wind is
blowing.
In representing the only new
conner to the top 10 boxoffice stars
of 1916, Ingrid Bergman jumped
from 18th to 2nd place in the poll
conducted by the Motion Picture
Herald. The star she ousted from
second position, behind Bing Crosby
was Van johnson.
Crosby topped the list for the
third consecutive year, distinction
he shares with Mickey Rooney. Both
remain behind the mark of Shirley
Temple who remained at the top
of the list from 1885 through 1888
four years.
Shirley is not listed among this
years top Is, which may be set
down to the fact that she has been
much buster with marriage than
with making movies.
Another erstwhile favorite who
slipped relatively far down the Mo-
ton Picture Herald's list is Enrol
Flynn. He ended in oath place in
the combined vote of independent
and circuit motion picture exhibitors
VITO voted in the poll. Judy Gar
land, at the peak of her career as
an artist, finished in 25th place, one
from which she is almost certain to
climb.
But the gal to keep an eye on is
Margaret O'Brien, now, in eighth
place but a constant menace to the
seven above her.

HARRISBURG, Pa, July 5. - President Truman gambled the whole economic structure of this nation" in vetoing the OPA exten- sion bill says Republican National Chairman Carroll Reece.
 Within the past week we have seen how far an entrenched bu- reaucracy will go in efforts to per- petuate it's powers" he declared at an Independence Day celebration here yesterday, adding: We had the even more humiliating spectacle of a public blawl between members of the highest court in the land. the Supreme Court of the United States.
 This humlliating display was the logical result Of attempts to convert the Supreme Court into a subserviont and partisan political tool of the administration in power.

TOKYO, July 5.--A prosecution witness at Toklo's war crimes trial testified today that Japanese general was dispatched to Mukden on Sept. Is, 1881, to call off the Wkantung army's Manchurian plot but failed to delived the explicit orders of the war minister.
 Spectators laughed as Ryukich Tanaka, a former major general, related that the messenger, It. Gen. Yoshusugu Tatekawa, was locked in restaurant by the plot ters, who thought he wanted to stop to attack.
 Tatekawa, who wanted the army to go ahead with it's plans for the attack anyway, whiled away the hours with Geisha girls, Tanaka went on. At midnight the army guns roared attack on the Chinese barracks.
 The gunfire so frightened the Geishas that they trembled, but Tatekawa told them not to worry while they were with him. Tan aka testified.

War Shipping Administrd- tor Is Expected to Ap-
 prove Pay Demands

The work stoppage by longshore- men now tying up Alaska ports will likely continue over the weekend, it is indicated now.
 Edwin G. Arnold, Director of Territories of the Interior Depart ment, has advised the Governors Office here that action is expected in Washington by Monday to ap- prove payment of wage increases and retroactive wages recently awarded longchoremen. The ap- proval is expected to come from the War Shipping Administrator. The VISA has been advised by the Wage Stabilization Board that the payments may be approved if they are in line with the current wage stabilization policy Q8i2 percent is the current level of approved wage increascs).
 Meanwhile, several vessels re- main tied up in Alaska ports while ship operators await government action that wi,l permit them to pay the agreed new $152 per hour base rate for longsnote work and retro active pay awarded by Prof. Ver- non Mund, arbitrator in the long shore dispute that blocked Alaska ports this spring.
 Juneau longshoremen have indi- cated that they will stand pat on their demands, and will not work ships until they have been paid their back wages and the new rate is put into effect.
 CIO ongshoremen at Ketchikan were to vote today on return to work, pending government approval of their demands. Three ships are now inactive at Ketchikan and two others here.
