It is always this way just before
naobr Day. Entrepreneurs, which
summer theater producers call
themselves joshingiy when away
from Broadway, always intend to
make the barn drama circuit
laboratory. Every May, they have
in mind giving a sort Of prior-to-
Broadway test to certain number
of new dramatics compositions.
They pencil" these into their
programs. but the pencil Is never
the indelible kind. Before they
realize it, success for the old COM
edies grasses the plans for the new.
The latter are remembered only
when 1t is almost too late to get
them on the schedule.
The Theater Guild, which prides
itself on being almost as efficient
as U. S. Steel, with which~it works
on the radio in the winter months,

and the play, will move out of New
York. going northeast a modest
number of miles to settle In the
Country Playhouse. Westport, Conn.
The Country Playhouse, whose
convertible beach-wagon audience is

Hollywood premiere crowd, is the
Guilds rural summer home. West

1t a natural place at seasons end,

This Time Tomorrow is not yet
booked for New York, either as to
time or place.
After Westport, 1t will settle into
Providence, r. l., for three per-
formances. Thereafter, 1t will go
to Boston for a fortnight for what
ever further luster its sponsors
think It's surface may require.
The report already is In on one

That is w. P. Lipscomb's THE

"The Lady Maria" did capacity

Another List

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Sid
Hickox joins the ever-growing list
Of 'list-pickers." The veteran
cameraman, who has been behind
camera lenses since 1916. herewith
submits his choices for the 1ive most
beautiful actresses In motion picture
history.
They are, in chronological order:
Billie Dove, Doris Kenyon, Dorothy
Mackaill, Loretta Young and Ann
Sheridan. Here's how he rates them:
Billie Dove for the most stunning
figure of her day.
Doris Kenyon was the soft, Ma
donna-like type with "wispy beauty.
Dorothy Mackaill makes the team
for her perfectly chiseled features
Loretta Young Is in the starting
lineup because OF her unsurpassed
ethereal beauty.
And Ann Sheridan rates, in Mr.
Hickox's opinion, for her yivacious
beauty-the kind that appeals to
all ages.

1t was PIMA who gave the OPEN

Maintenance
OF Symphony
Is Vital Task
By Alice Eversmun

The future of the National Sym
phony again rests in the hands of
the local public. The sustaining fund
drive now in operation Is to assure
its life for another year. It may
seem to many that time rolls quickly
by from one drive to another. But
what has been accomplished by the
sacrifice Of far-seeing citizens each
year must be preserved. To preserve
it, however, is the simplest task,
the greater being to assist it to grow
in accordance with its possibilities.
It is strange that in this progress
sive country, the peoples generosity
can be counted upon to start all cul-
tural and educational ventures but
the same generosity is not so lavish
ly bestowed for their maintenance
Ask for money for the education OF
a talented individual or for the
founding of a cultural institution
and 1t is received forthwith. How
the individual or the institution Is
to continue career after the initial
steps are sponsored Is given little
thought. This, however, is the point
where real help Is needed.
The unfortunate fact remains that
no great undertaking can flourish
without money support. But whereas
many Of such are designed for purely
material gain, others are based on
the cultivation of spiritual values in
a community. Magnificent edifices
are erected for the functioning OF
the Government, not merely to dis
play the wealth and power Of the
country, but in respect for the prin-
ciples for which Government stands
Reverence is paid to the Supreme
Being in churches built with devo-
tional zeal and embellished with the
beauty bestowed on humanity by its
Creator.
Music is not less a fundamental
need of peoples. The mystery of how
music Is born in gifted mems souls
has never been solved or explained
Only on its mechanical side can ii
be manufactured. But that which
burns with such fiery vehemence in
the hearts Of the composers and
touches the listener with an infinite
appeal, can not be invented at will
It comes from the same source that
has built the Christian world and
given weak people the courage to
die for liberty.
The world Is not running so sane
ly these days that one has not need
of all the spiritual help possible. II
music can accomplish that, what
does money count for? If, through
music, the guiding light of right
eousness can be kept burning, the
power Of evil cannot triumph. II
the principles Of noble living can be
strengthened through music, it is a
necessity in community existence
These are the deeper reasons why
each city should guard its musical
treasures and assure their continu-
ance.

ditions is Mrs. Temple. She's too
good sport to complain, but Mrs
T. can't conceal a yearning now and
then to get back into the center
Of Shirley's career. Time was when
Mrs. T. was more important to a
studio than Shirley. Shirley fol-
lowed mama's advice implicitly.
Mrs. Us role now is that Of q
wise and fond mother, nothing
more. "Shirls at home in this
crazy world" she observes. "It's all
she's ever known. The prestige and
alteration that would frighten an
average child she takes as common
place. She's very mature, in some
ways"
And immature in others. Despite
a 5000 teen-age frock, makeup and
high platform pumps, Shirley re-
minds one of the little girl down
the block. In another setting, one
would never imagine Shirley as
prime movie material.
