PHu,ADELPHIA,

Moss Hart, now a 19-play man
sat with me in a far corner Of the
Embassy room ofthe Hotel Warwick
talking sharply and amiably of mat
tiers theatrical. He said. "the day
that once in . lifetime opened

the world. The dress rehearsal ran
until $50 am. Sam Harris, who
always called me kid, walked to the
corner with me. He realized I had
no money and he put a 500 bill into
my hand. Instead of going home to
Brooklyn I went into the Astor-and
took suite
Moss went on: George Kaufman

before I ever called him George: 1t
was always Mr.. Kaufman. He didn't
call me Moss or Mr.. Hart; he would
just say er . er {. er OF
something like that. Sam Harris
was a real gent, to use kind OF
lindy's expression. He was very
smart in strange way. Lifetime
was in trouble; we couldn't get a
last act. Sam hit it when he said
that we needed a quiet scene, that
we didn't have one in the play
That led to the writing OF the scene
on the train.

"'Once in a Lifetime went to JED

would now be the most important
theatrical figure, internationally, In
the world. He Is a man OF q real
deep, deep talent. I've never done
play with him. I wouldn't want to
spend the next six months in a
sanitarium. But I respect him. JED
used to be a colorful figure; he's now
kind of macabre."
Moss Hart has been contributing
steadily, brilliantly to the New York
stage ever since his emergence as
co-author of "Once in Lifetime. .
His new play is Light up the Sky"
being tested here before going into
the Royale in New York the evening
of November 18. There's been tap
room talk in recent weeks of the
amusing, maliciously amusing, carlo
atures of famous stage people in
Light Up the Sky"
Everybody's in Play.
Well, did Moss write Tallulah
Bankhead into it? Or Guthrie Nc
Clintic? Or Billy Rose and Eleanor
Holm? Or Gertrude Lawrence?
These are Moss Hart's explicit
words:
THE characters In this new play
are drawn not from three or four
people, but from 40 I know. No one
person can be that entertaining for
two hours. I haven't put Gertie or
Tallulah or Eleanor or Billy into the
play specifically. I've tried to make
serious point in the play in terms
of comedy, and I've done 1t in the
terms of the world I know best,
which is the theater. I have felt,
and feel, that it's time to laugh
again. I've tried to say my little
say in capsule form, that being that
everything is tough, but that you've
got to learn to get along regard
less. No plot whatever in this
play. None whatever in terms of
plot. No love story"
Playwriting is Moss Hart's trade,
the theater is his life. He is a man
with an understandable concern
about the present state of the
drama.
THE theater," Moss went on
quietly, 'is now ridiculously un-
sound. Our basic trouble Is now,
mainly, that the theater IS not now
part of our cultural or national life.
Why, I'd like to have this new play
open in six or seven towns simul-
taneously. I now have the feeling
that there could now be a great
renaissance, and If this came about
the theater could lick Hollywood
All the guilds and the crafts will
have to get together.
Defends the Critics.
A slight pause and Moss con-
tinued: "One Of the mistakes some
of us make Is that of railing against
the critics. It's the fault of the
managers that the critics are SO
powerful: it's our vanity. Give us
good notices and we take out those
big ads, quoting everybody. To
start, or to stop, with the critics Is
all nonsense"

Stars Faces Are OK.
But Legs Help Most.
In Cinema Climb
By the kssoeioied Press

HULL "oOD.
Ask q veteran Hollywood still
hotographer-somebody like Bert
Six-if he thinks a girls face is her
fortune.
You'll get sour laugh.
Almost every feminine star In
pictures today" says Six, "can thank
her legs for being where she is"
Six, for years, has been shooting
glamor portraits Of stars and
equally glamorous leg art of star
lets at Warner Studios. He doesn't
think a pretty face is handicap
but that's about as far as he'll go.
How else" he asks, ARE you going
to make people aware Of new
face?"
Joan Crawford, Jane Wyman
Barbara Stanwyck, Greta Carlo
Alexis Smith-he ticks these and
others off on his fingers. Even Bette
Bavis. All started out as unknowns
posing for leg art.
Sure, it took something else to
carry them to the top of their pro-
fession," he conceded, "but the legs
helped in the beginning"
A recent example, said Six, Is
Dorothy Malone.
She's beautiful girl, and she
has a lot of talent. Look at the
role she has in One Sunday After
noon with Dennis Morgan, Dor
before and Janis Paige. The first
year she was in Hollywood, most OF
her working days were spent posing
for publicity pictures. And the
spotlight was on the Malone legs"
Six thinks legs must be more than
well-shaped. They've got to have
personality, too.
"Of all those who have become
great dramatic actresses, Dorothy s
legs are the most like Joan Craw-
fords, in my opinion. wouldn't be
surprised to see her win an Academy

NEW vNP1

NEW YORK.
Having written such notable plays
as The Royal Family" and Dinner
at Eight" the combination Of George
S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber has
become a high Broadway tradition.
But their latest combined effort,
Bravo" which Max Gordon pre-
sented last night at the Lyceum
Theater. doesn't have that same sue
cessful Ferber-Kaufman stamp.
It's a plaintive little soap opera
set hopefully on high esthetic
plane, about group of artistic
European refugees living together in
a house on New York's West Side,
a culture klatch headed by Mol
narish Hungarian playwright.
The central story line is mostly
about the playwrights attempts to
become an American citizen and
his trials in learning American
moods, attitudes and even the Ian
guage. There are side details, most
of which are better than the central
theme, and in this the play hits
major weakness.
The marginal dramatic detail
dominates the proceedings and the
