Mitchell and the current Broad

Salesman" will be here during the
current season at the Gayety.
The Miller play is booked. but the
date is not set. Now that he has
taken over the lead in the New
York production. the show has a
new life. 1t could remain at the
Morosco for a long, long time.
Mitchell would prefer that 1t
do nothing of the kind; not with
himself in the lead.
There are a lot of other road"
towns that he would like to make
before going back to Hollywood.

thur Miller double prize play has
lifted its tagging boxoff1ce spirit
impressively high for d produc-
ton about to go into its third
season. 1t should be triumphant
thing, such a return to the rich
table of his salad days, but Nit
chell takes it calmly.
This recently rowing correspon-
dent dropped into Mitchell's dress
ing room in New York to pay
friendships regards and see how
it was going with him. Mitchell,
who has keen mind to speak.
spoke it thus:
.Sure, it is always interesting to
be here. But why should actors
be crazy with delight to find
themselves back in New York? 1t
Is just another road town, if you
look at it honestly. I'm not sure,
there aren't some that are better
and many more that are just as
good.
Coming back here after long
time away, in Hollywood and play
ting theaters all the way across
the country, I sometimes think
that audiences elsewhere actually
enjoy theater more than the ones
here. Take Washington audi
ences for instance. They seem
to be happy in the theater, if
there is anything to be happy
about in the production they're
seeing. They did not come be-
cause it is part of a sophisticated
ritual. They came because they
like coming"
Mitchell, a critics pet for 80
years If there ever was such a
thing, paused for a moment.
Here, I sometimes think every
body is an act; probably not be-
cause he wants to be so much as
because that makes it easier to live
as q member of a mob of mil
lion, or whatever the number is. -

Well, here are some quick beau
ty tricks to rescue your good looks

below, find yours and take the
advice given next to it in q
hurry!
Pale face: Stop envying your
more fortunate sisters who have
had time to loll in the sun and
now are two shades ahead of you.
Get yourself a foundation that is
no more than two shades darker
than your natural coloring; get
some leg makeup to match Use
both sparingly; a little will show
a lot. Wear light clothes. too. You
will look darker by comparison.
Sunburned: So you've beaten
the fireworks and are six shades
