Bea Lille Career

Beatrice Lille is skilled artist

she makes an entrance onstage, just

exit offstage.
Her audiences, such as those who
have been delighted by her pert
antics in Inside U. S. A." the
musical version Of the John Gunther
travelogue of the 48 States, have not
been particularly curious about her
exits. They have demonstrated for
weeks that they want her to stay
onstage.
/ Aside from the theater, Miss Lille
said backstage the other, day, she
made one entrance that led her to a
door to another career entirely apart
from her years of theatrical tri-

the versatile screen heavy, was
prime mover in a campaign that be-

Naish, however, takes little credit
on the civic-minded score. He
sheepishly attributes the move to
the Naish explosion that took place
when he attempted to assume the
role of driving tutor for his 15-year-
Cd daughter, Carol Elaine.

an authority on the subject, had no
comment to make on the suggestion
that couple Of dozen top film play

Another Broadway Play Raises
Race Relations Questions
By Mark Barron

and understanding. She has all the
kindness and tact to make him feel
that his blindness is not a handicap
or anything to be noticed. She calls
upon him to look" at the beautiful
flowers in the garden, flowers which
he cannot see, but which he can
feel and smell.
Then when he tells her that he
loves her, she tells him gently q
fact he has never suspected before.
She tells him that she is Negress.
The young soldiers response is
both automatic and typical Of his
upbringing; he berates her for what
he says is her deliberate deluding
him. She, facing facts and being
sensible, says their romance is i'm.
possible in the world as it is today.
But, he pleads with her to stay with
him, to marry him.
Presents AgeAOld Problem.
The arguments of convention,
however, are more powerful and she
goes away to save him from what
she realizes would be an even deeper
tragedy for him than his blindness.
Reines presents here an age old
problem which has been faced in
every nation where the color line
has been a serious sociological prob
lem. The weakness of his play is
that he hasn't q single answer or
suggestion of an answer for any Of
the problems he presents. 1t is a
play as frustrated as is the theme
he dwells upon.
The play does have the advantage
Of two fine performers in the leading
roles of the blind soldier and the
understanding Negro girl.
William Prince plays the blind
soldier with a restrained skill which
never allows his character to be-
come one pleading for too much
sympathy. And Mildred jeanne
Smith, an unusually fine Negro act
ress, plays the part of the maid with
a poignant quality which has marked
her previous performances on Broad.

EVELYN Finds Profit in Corn
Former Local Lass

Evelyn knight switched to corn,
and the juke box trade is eating
it up.
The blond singer changed from
one type of song to another in no
more time than 1t takes to change
a hair-do.
She was in New York one day
last fall when she got a call from
Jack Kapp, head man Of record
firm (Decca. The conversation, rs
she recalls it, went like this:
How long are you going to be
in town." he asked.

Record what?"
I'll tell you when you get here. -
The next day Miss knight had
her first look at "A Little Bird

look, sang It and left to keep an
engagement in Boston.

tune before" Miss Knight says. 1T

She was wrong. BY the middle

had been sold.

he added, sit should top sales on

calist."
Miss Knight made another switch
early in her career. She started
as a soprano in the young peoples
choir in a Reedville, Va, church
The market for sopranos wasn't SC
good. So she became. as she puts
it, a "ditty singer"
She sang on the radio and In

from 1889 to 1914. She spent a
year in a New York night club
billed as THE Lass With the Del

clubs and on network radio shows

music stores and order what they

salaries are not to be compared
with others. When one stops to
consider the drawing power Of
good, dignified music, plus the
