Boxomce,- the trade publication

ballot to cinema critics. Select II
of each sex, Boxofice says, and have
the two lists in by Oct. 7.
What interests prospective voter
looking over the ballot is that the
really picturesque characters, in

play in routine Westerns. The mon

If the ballot casters were think

chance against these would such
fellows as Spencer, Clark. Hum

The answer is so obvious that the
wonder is Spencer, Clark, Hum
phrey, Tyrone, Walter and Frank
will come up winners as usual.
If Fuzzy" Lash" and Sunset

Mixing home and career is an old
problem with married actresses.
Florence Eldridge solved it the easy
way, but many of her fellow players
aren't so brave. If home and career
clash, she drops the career.
Miss Eldridge, wife of Fredric
March, once was absent from the
screen for nine years because, she
said, the two March children needed
her more than the theater public
did. Her voluntary retirement ended
only when the children entered prep
school.
Apparently her absence didn't
affect her popularity. Although
known in films as a character &C
tress, she has been given a starring
role with March, Edmund O'Brien
and Geraldine Brooks in "An Act
of Murder" This follows closely on
her much-praised performance in
the screen version of Another Part

Miss Eldridge and March try to
arrange their professional schedule
so that they can spend Christmas

children.
Often, when commitments won't

come first.
Miss Eldridge, born in Brooklyn,
presides over three homes: A Beverly
Hills house, New York apartment
and a Connecticut farm. Each is
occupied according to its conven-
ience to Hollywood, Broadway, or
leisure time.
At first March didn't like the idea
of a farm, she said, so Miss Eldridge
bought it herself, with earnings
from a play engagement. Now the
barn-red house and its 40 acres of
countryside are his favorite home.

man conceived. the idea that m
intimate revue might be produced
on Broadway, after lengthy and
careful planning, for less than
$25 900.
They had every reason, once they'd
started on their project. to think
they might accomplish this form Of
the fiscal impossible.
To open the show on the sum-
mer theater circuit cost them exact
ly $756.35. They trouped the revue
for the entire summer and crossed
$48, 1877, thereby turning over . COM
Portable profit. They had pruned
away every item Of unnecessary ex-
pense. That is, they thought they
had.
When they prepared to open On
Broadway, they discovered dozens
Of things they hadn't even consid-
cred, before.
Sets had to be erected In union
shops whose workers got 4 mini
mum wage, which, adds Paul, was
certainly no more than right. But
the time expended on such activity
seemed to him unreasonably long,
the materials unusually expensive,
the delays interminable.
While 1t wasn't, strictly their
province to worry about expense,
since Sherman and Marjorie Ewing
as producers, had taken over that
financial load, they still couldn't
help showing hefty disappointment.
They do not want to remain dane
ers, or even performers, all their
stage lives. They want to become
producers on their own. They even
have a show getting ready for q
fall showing on Broadway. But it
won't be a musical, Paul and Grace
agreed.
To get back to statistics: The
$4,000 they hoped would cover
everything turned out to be less
than a quarter Of the cash needed.
On the night it had its premiere,
Angel in the Wings" had cost
$107,53
This meant" said Paul, scrib-
bling tablecloth long division, that
the show on Broadway cost more
than 142 times what it did to put
1t on in the summer theaters."
He gazed for q long time at the
figures.

Broadway Notes.
Ruth Gordon, having searched
around for an actress to star in her
newly written play, must have
looked into a mirror or something.
She'll star herself in "The Lead
ing Lady," a story of the American
theater at the turn of the century.
Carson Kanin, Miss Gordon's
husband, will stage the play. il.
This is Miss G's third comedy; the
others were "Over 81" and Years
Ago"
Max Gordon, no relative of Ruth,
reads a playscript a day, which
probably is the reason for his
