him. When we made the picture
I was 50 frightened Of annoying
him, hardly said word to him.

played an American. ITO explain

Kathleen told me that the Irish

Maureen O'Hara when she made
that fuss about not foreswearing

But" Miss Ryan added. "there
isn't really any hatred Of England

Miss Ryan makes most Of her

there recently with Stewart

Ryan commented. OF Orson
Welles, who acted at the Gate
Theater in Ireland, the outspoken
lass said, 1.-THE Irish think he's

American movies, according to
Kathleen, "are better liked in
Ireland than the British ones.
Betty Cradle is very popular. So
Is Rita Hayworth." I asked about
the current status of Ingrid Berg

"They gave her about two lines
in the papers over the Rossellini

Kathleen Ryan was in Hollywood
Ito weeks to star for Robert Still
imam in Sound of Fury" But
got to see her only for q quick
lunch. So, now that she is back
in Ireland, she called me on the
transatlantic telephone for q
leisurely chat, chiefly about her
impressions of Hollywood and
some debunking of American
myths about Ireland.
"The Americans are the most
friendly race In the world" said
Kathleen. "On my last day in
New York, a taxi driver asked me,
You're Irish, aren't you?s I said,
Yes Oh said he, will you please
find me an Irish wife from Dub
lin? I'm divorcing my present
wife. I'm selling my house for
$40, My wife takes $11 900,
but I have enough left for a down
payment on a new house. Now,
where else but in America would
a taxi driver talk like this to a
perfect Stranger?"

According to Miss Ryan, the
Irish are not an Incorporate race.
They're not allowed to be by
law You can't get a drink in
the public houses after 10 at night.
But the Irish are a kind-hearted
race. They don't inflict their own
laws on strangers. So If you are

continued Kathleen, deadpan, "is
any one who happens to be seven
miles away from home. It's amaz-
ing how many people happen tc
be seven miles away from home
between 10 and 12 at night. They
call it going to the bona fides'-
because they're supposed to be
bona f1de travellers"
From 2 to $3.50 in the after
noon. all the pubs in Ireland are
closed. $50 you can't get liquor
at that time," Miss Ryan informed
me-"unless you are eating"
gathered from the young star that
most people who want a drink
plan their lunches between 2 and
$3.50!
The Irish are not addicted to
Irish stew or the Irish jig, said
she-and the gal should know
You have roast beef on Sunday,
cold beef on Monday. stew on
Tuesday. It's amazing how most
people dine out on Tuesday. OF
course. the Irish jig will always
be the national dance. But you
don't see it danced anywhere ex-
cept on national occasions. The

most popular dances in Ireland" !"

Kathleen. We'll. Barry can dc

IAngeIs Still
Abound On
Broadway
By Lawrence Perry
NEW YORK,


Amid all rumors, definite intel
ligence and other manifestations
Of activity with respect to the
forthcoming theatrical season Of
1950-51. one fact stands out In
sharp distinction: The continued
lpertinacity Of the large-and, in
face Of all encouragement. grow
ing-body Of men and women who
back shows or strongly desire to
do so.
Despite the fact that chances
OF success In playing the dramatic
market are no less dubious than
betting on turf events, patroniz-
ing the roulette wheel or indulg-
ence In other forms Of aleatory
diversion. the lure OF stalking
money against popular reaction
to theatrical productions Is q
veritable lodestone.
Without the angels the present
numerical outlook for the forth
coming season-35 original plays.
II adaptations Of novels, !
revivals and 20 musicals-would
be vastly different.
How will they fare, this galaxy
Of good citizens Of this metropolis
whose extravaganza is equaled
only by their unflagging optimism? j?
And, by the same token, what will
be the fate Of these rs projected
shows-or, at least, the destiny
OF those that reach Broadway?
No answer could be specific, but
In o general way results Of pre-
vious seasons have been found to
be an unfailing measuring rod.
Only Eight Hits.
Let US take, then, the record Of
the l949-50 season In which Is
plays and "a musicals were pro-
duced-67 shows In all. OF these,
Is closed, most Of them pretty
promptly; others ran for some
time-but not long enough to
make any return on investment;
and only eight were genuine hits,
hence financially productive to all
concerned.
A financial estimate made by
the periodical Show Business
places the cost of producing last
seasons musicals at a 5000, 900
average and the IS plays at about
$55,000 each. So we get a total
investment Of nearly $1,000, 900,
resulting in losses Of $4,000, 900, or
IS per cent.
The disparity between loss and
gain in any previous modern sea-
son would be about the same.
Nonetheless. any producer who
wants to sell pieces Of a show has
only to cite South Pacific, Z"
"Oklahoma!" and other smash
hits Of past and present-rare
though they be. It will suffice.
Madame" Looks Good.
Yet when you consider produc-
tions on next seasons agenda, you
might easily fall. If approached
by the producers Of certain pro-
jected shows. Certainly, had we
the money. and opportunity Of

tempted to get aboard that musi-

Leland Hayward is producing in

Whot Happened to
Book Bills in Congress

,, Book bills have been having a
bad time in this Congress. The
CARE book bill was the first to
go down to defeat in the House.
The measure would have made
available to CARE the sum
of $l,327,641.67, the total of
wages earned by conscientious
objectors during the war and paid
into the Treasury, to help in its
program of restocking the war
ravaged libraries of the world.
The c. O.'s themselves requested
that the money be used for this
purpose, and as Representative
Judd, Republican, of Minnesota,
sponsor of the bill, pointed out,
they have "a moral equity in the
fund, but the House. amid several
clarion calls to isolationism, de-
creed differently. Senate hearings
will be held next week.
The library demonstration bill,
which would have introduced Ii
brary service to the 35 million
Americans now without it, fell
afoul of a bipartisan economy
bloc, although the House, the day
before had voted a $163 million
postal pay bill. The chief con-
tention made by opponents of the
measure was that States treas
uries were in far better shape to
assume such expenditures than
the Federal Government. But
since those IS million Americans
are cut off from the pleasures of
| book borrowing, it would appear
that what the States can do and
will do are two entirely different
matters.
To some of it's enemies, the bill,
which is sponsored by the Amer
lean Library Association. was a
highly sinister piece of legislation,
and the name of Federal Security
Administrator Oscar Ewing figured
in the.debate as kind of admin
istration bogeyman. Representa-
tive Velde, Republican, of Indiana
warned it would provide Oscar
Ewing with another method of
distributing socialistic propagan-
da." Representative Short, Repub-
lican, of Minnesota saw it as IAN
insidious and dangerous threat to
our freedom. It was left to Rep
resentative Burdick, Republican OF
North Dakota, who is himself an
author. to go to the heart of the
matter. Il think geography di-
vides u.s." he said. IF you lived
where I lived you would be fol-
this bill. If you live in New York
or Massachusetts,. unless you are
an outstanding statesman like oul
House majority leader (Repre.
sentative Mccormack you woulc
be against it."
The bill was defeated by three
votes.
And just as a bitter footnote, an
amendment to the postal rates
bill, introduced by Representative
Mccarthy. Democrat. OF Mime
sofa to lower book postage rates
was rejected.

DEBBY
BY Max Steele. Harper &

The charm of this Harper Prize
novel, which is also Mr. Steele S
first, lies in it's warmth and its
humor. l. is a simple story
of American family life during
the depression and the war, as
seen through the eyes of a
loyal. simple-minded servant who
watches them in pity and puzzle
ment through the years.
Mr.. Steele. a 27-year-old South

about children and even more
about the mixture of love and
rancor which binds families to-
gether. He was evidently not just

and skillful in presenting her and
