The right to roof over his
head was won last week by La
fayette Coins when eviction pro-
ceedings, threatening his family
since last November, were
dropped.
By court order, Coins fur
nishingS had been twice re-
moved from his apartment at
555 w. Chicago. He was cited
for contempt because his be.
longings had also been twice re-
placed.
Diminishing the contempt pro-
ceedings last week, Judge Glib
son E. German delivered a stern
lecture about respect for court
orders. He did not deal with the
problem of where Coins could
have taken his wife and four
children after being put out in
the street.
Coins had been ordered evict-
ed for non-payment of rent,
even though his landlord had
refused rent payments offered
in open court.
The nearly four-month-long
proceedings against Coins were
ended after Max Mailman, attor.

THE CAST.
By Horry Macarthur

'The Guilt of Janet Ames," which
opened yesterday at the Metropoli-
tan, is another lesson in psychiatry,
cinema style. 1t is about q young
lady who is tapped by an automo-
bile and comes to uninjured but url-
able to walk because she subcon-
sciously has not wanted TO 60 where
she was going. It suffers, this pic
ture, from a mental muddiness that
a prefrontal lobotonay with a meat
ak wouldn't cure. The guilt Of Janet
Ames is nothing compared to the
guilt of Columbia Pictures, which
Suddenly decided this was just the
thing to do to Rosalind Russell. If
Columbia Pictures wants to get of
with plea of temporary insanity,
Of course, 1t might make it. It will
need to prove only that the lapse
was temporary.
Who's hysterical? We remember
the whole thing clearly. There was
this girl and she couldn't walk. She
became very angry with the doctor
when he said there was nothing
wrong with her physically, but mem
tally she was quite a case. Well.
about this time a newspaperman at
liberty (Melvyn Douglass, stripped
Of his typewriter and epaulets be-
cause of alcohol addiction, took over.
It took him no time at all ITO dis
cover that Janet's guilt was involved
with selfish mourning for her hus-
band and sort Of jealousy of the
five men he saved when he fell on
a hand grenade two years before.
Melvyn said something about Peter
Ibbetson," then showed Janet the
five men she was brooding over.
Painted word pictures of their lives,
he did, and, by golly, Janet would
pop of into a trance and get into
arguments with them. AS you can
readily imagine this cured her in no
time at all. Or don't you think it
would?
Anyhow, If Rosalind Russell wakes
up some morning and finds herself
unable to walk when she sets out
for the studio, we know what will
cure HER. A small bonfire in the
front yard, with the master mega
tive and all prints of ''The Guilt OF
Janet Ames" feeding the flames,
ought to do the trick.

most enticing of these would be the
singing of Miss Grayson and Sinatra.
It has, therefore, allowed the pair
considerable time for vocalizing In
variety of moods. There are the
usual love songs, of course, and Miss
Grayson climbs to the heights OF
many a sopranos ambition with Lily
Pons' old triumph, the Bell Song
from "Lakme." The most surprising
item, however, is the Don Giovanni
iuet, Mozart's eye-rolling compost
ton whose title translates as "Give
Me Your Little Hand" Done against
the innocent background of Brook
lyn wine-and-spaghetti joint. it
comes to audiences completely di-
vested Of it's basic burbling, leaving
Mozart, if anyone, the loser. Sina-
tra's fans may be littler surprised,
but the aria is the sort of dramatic
switch Jose Iturbi pulls when he
plays boogie-woogie. Sinatra does
it quit ably, too, just as he always
has said he could if he ever stopped
singing ballads.
Headquarters for the operations of
this quartet of Brooklynites is Du-
rante's basement apartment in New
Utrecht high. AS custodian" of the
place, which is not the same as
being janitor, Durante is one Of the
best things about "It Happened in
Brooklyn" He is the bumbling fxer
not merely Of the personal problems
of his three young friends-one of
those natural triangles in all musi-
cals-but also kind of top SER
geant in directing them in their
civic enterprises.
His best single contribution to
the film is his effort to teach Amer
lean ways, especially ways with
women, to young Lawford as the
frigid, but willing, English visitor to
Brooklyn. In view of the fact that
Durante is a bachelor, who has never
had child Of his own but thousands
of every one else's, his qualifications
for the job are dubious. He has a
funny way, however, of working out
any problem and, in that Durante
way of his, he always make it look
