NEW YORK.
Maurice Evans has never missed
an arrival at las pm. on the dot
for a matinee of Hamlet" So re-
marked his dresser, and the remark
was apropos of the fact that this
day, at S minutes to 2, he had not
appeared.
George Cotton, stage manager
who has to check up on arrivals,
from the star to the humblest walk
on actor, peered into the dressing
room. He raised his brows rather
dismally as the dresser shook his
head.
Cotton's worries these days-as
with all stage managers-are aug
mented by a flu scare, due to abrupt
up-and-down trends of temperatures,
necessitating inoculations of play
ers all along Broadway. Maybe the
tragedian'S shot had worked the
wrong way, or something.
But, as 1t turned out, all was well
or, at least, nothing worse had
happened than a series of traffic
jams. Anyway, Maj. Evans ap-
peared before the hour had struck.
Entering the room, he was very
gracious. Doffing his dark coat,
vest, tie and shirt, he hurried to
the dressing table, sat and picked up
a jar of cold cream. In the mirror
before him he marked my upward
glance at various costumes hanging
over his head.
Costumes a Problem.
mo sock, no buskin, no doublets,
no tights" A smile lightened his
vivid dark eyes. Were you looking
for them?" We hastened to say no.
We had seen his Hamlet" version
on its opening night.
Costumes we're rather problem, y
he said, smeaEing his face with
makeup foundation. "They must not
be modern, most certainly not; nor
yet Elizabethan."
why not Elizabethan?"
Because costumes in keeping with
the time of an ancient play cause a
bad audience impression, an Inn
preston they are seeing old stuff.
It dates the piece and keeps auditors
mindful of the fact. All right, Of
course, for the claSSiciStS. But for
popular appeal it is perilous. The
ideal expedient is to have costumes
SO In the spirit of an ancient play
as to have audiences look at them
just once and thereupon accept
them. We succeeded, / think, in
doing this with our present Ham,

Macbeth" in kits.
He went on to say that exper-
imenting with costumes in classical
productions is not at all new.

name from her stepfather, John
Rogers. The Ginger" part Of her
name had something to do with her
hair, along with small cousins
pronunciation of Virginia: "Ginia."
With a name like Ginger" it's
amazing that she was ever taken
seriously as dramatic actress. %.
John Wayne Is really Marion
Michael Morrison. His pal John
Ford, who gave the boy his first big
break In Stage Coach" told him
that his monicker was too fancy,
and rechristened him John Wayne.
In real life John is called Duke
and has been since boyhood.
Guy Madison Is named after the
Dolly Madison cup cakesi His real
name Is Robert Mosely. Bill Will
liams is William Kat! As q kid
his pals called him "Krazy Katt."
When he took to acting Bill decided
it was time for a change.
I wonder how far Boris Karlon
would have travelled in horror films
under his rightful name-WiIlian
Henry Pratt? I could never have
been scared of Mr.. Pratt, whose
Original intention was to work in
the British diplomatic service. Will

in the belief that it fitted his per-
sonality.
Wendy Barrie and Lynn Bari both
went to Sir James Barrie for their
stage surnames. Lynn was born
Marjorie Schuyler Fisher. The
Lynn part was thefted from Lynn
Fontanne-who 1 expect took her

Metro promised to give him the
roles refused by Nelson, who then
no longer refused them and Mr..
Morner was out of job. Para
mount hired him-under a second
disguise, Dennis Morner. From
there it was a brief jump to Warmers
and a brand-new name and fame.

Perruso's Cafe against Kavakos

Heurich Amateur League basket ball
games at Turner's Arena. They broke
even in two previous encounters.
Kavakos has been strengthened
for this rubber clash by the addition

russo, on the other hand, will be

be three former high school play
ers, Moe Tannenbaum of Tech, Dick

can claim something just as impress
sive as Foxs KO string-victories
over Jake Lamotta, Middleweight
Champ Tony Zale and recently over
Billy Grant and Odell Reilly. He
also has some six years more ex-
perience.
Fox's record holds little terror for
Nate. He puts it this way:
These kids all look alike to me.
Nice little boys but they shouldn't t
be too tough on the old man"
However, the way Billy kept bor-
ing in with his short Joe Lewis like
straight right against Kochan made
Quaker City fans certain this was
the first-rate fighter they've waited
for so long.
Born in Tatum, Okla, Billy first
got the boxing bug at IS when he
read Benny Leonard's How to
Fight" He lost his first five fights
as an amateur, then turned pro in
October of 1943.
