of Mississippi's most distinguished

There win be a short story of in
PRODUCTION on each writer every

New York seems almost as crowd
ed as it did during the war. You nave
to stand in line to get tlckets al
almost all of the first-run movie
houses. Most of the stage produc-
tions play to capacity houses eacn
night. All of the popular eating pla-
res are over-run and even the most
axnensive places are usually full.
eThe State of the Union is the cur
rent movie playing at RADIO City
Music hall. Katherine heppulii'
Sneneer Tracy, Adolphe MenJou, An
pela Lansbury and Van Johnson
have important roles and they all
turn in excellent performances.
Lewis Stone is in the picture po'
very briefly.
Taken from the popular long-run
stage play by the same name tlnS
picture ranks tops in entertainment
The picture is particularly appro-
priate now coming at a time Wheh
two national political conventions
are in the making and a presldential
race looming in the mmeola iu-
ture. A satire on American pohtlcs'
tbe film is uproarously funny III
spots but the final outcome IS cei
tainly thought-provoklng'
Featured on the same program
was a stage production called opI
mo Rhvthm" which might as Wen
been left off. Except for the usual
top form of the dancing RocKet.es
h stage show was the sorriest we've
eyer seer at Radio City.
"A1legro" the new musical play at
the Majestic theatre gets off to a
slow start before getting interesting:
The music is by Richard Rogers ana
the book and lyrics by Oscar Ham
mefstein II. Agnes De Mile stages
the production. .,
The Allegro cast, headed by Johh
Battles and Roberta Jonay, a rara-
mount picture player, also features
William Ching, a graduate of Spring
Hill college in Mobile, Alabama. ne
is not an Oriental as the name I'M
plies but a tall, good-looking Ameri-
- hoy Very good looking as a mat
ter Of fact, sort of like Joel McCrea.
The program says he distinguished
himself at college in drama, singing
football and baseball.
The music in Allegro can't com,
mare with "Oklahomal" the hit ina,
recently celebrated five successful
wears on Broadway.
We saw "Oklahoma!" in Chicago
and hone vet to see it in New YORK
