Broadway today is so overflow
ing with British performers that
the Times Square subway is re-
ferred to as the underground"
and taxi drivers are willing to
accept a "tuppence" tip.
Give Brook. the clipped-speech
British movie star, who now is
playing his first stage role on
Broadway, is outstanding among
this large group of English actors
and actresses. AS star of Second
Threshold" the unfinished play
by the late Philip Barry, which
Robert E. Sherwood revised for
this stage production at the Mo-
rosco Theater, Brook is encoun-
tering some of the problems of
the many British performers who
have transferred their stage ca
reers to Broadway.
At the moment British born
Claude Rains is starring in the
Sidney Kingsley hit drama,
Darkness at Noon," and British
born Dennis King is starring in
the robust drama, Billy Budd."
They're Everywhere.
Jack Hawkins, James Hayter
and Malcolm Keen, featured play
ers In support Of starring Olivia
De Havilland in Romeo and
Juliet" are all from the vicinity
of London's Haymarket. John
Gielgud and Pamela Brown, CO.
stars in Christopher Fry's roman
tic comedy, "The Lady's Not for
Burning" are both London born.
In Affairs Of State" q long-run
comedy hit. Reginald Owen is
supporting starring Celeste Holm.
The suave- speaking Owen was a
veteran Shakespearean actor in
his native London until he came
to Broadway in 1926 to play with
the late Holbrook Blinn in Ferenc
Molnar's "The Plays the Thing" ="
A major hit on Broadway is
English Author John Van Druten' s
comedy. Bell. Book and Candle, +"
which has British Star Rex Har-
rison in the leading role opposite
his Austrian-born wife, Lilli
Palmer.

An English Invasion
Give Brook Heads Virtual Army
Of British Actors on Broadway

born In Weldon, Norhants, Eng
land. His co-star In this lovely
play Is Patricia Collinge, who was
born in Dublin. but Miss Collings
might well call herself English.
She began her stage career as O
child in London.
Brooks spendid performance In
Second Threshold" recently
brought him a tribute which few
have received. When Brook re-
turned to his starring role after
a few days illness he found that
the author wanted to make a cur
tain speech. 1t was the first stage
speech for Author Robert e. Sher-
wood. who merely wanted to say
how grateful he was that Brook
was back.
Along with his touch Of grippe,
Brook has had some other physi-
cal troubles in connection with
this play. He plays the part of a
man who is ranked high In Gov
eminent circles and believed to be
on the verge of q breakdown
from nervous exhaustion. At the
same time his daughter, Miranda.
Is being confused by her romantic
problems and these become 30
acute that he forgets about world
affairs to assist her in her per-
sonal woes.
He Had to Dance.
In doing this diverting Of the
young mind, Brook, as the elderly
statesman. goes into q song and
a soft-shoe dance. OF this. he
says:
when we started rehearsing
Second Threshold I worked into
an old dance I remembered.
And what happened! I promptly
got water on the knee and had
to have medical attention"
Now rid of his water on the
knee and able to dance again, and
also with no more pangs Of the
grippe, Brook is back in Second
Threshold" as the happy leader
of vast band of British players
in the New York theaters.

Commiies Study
New Western
Proposal
Hope Held That
Korean Truce
Deadlock Will
Be Broken

TOKYO, Aug i5-.Pl-The
Communists are studying a new
western proposal for breaking the
Korean truce deadlock and speed
ing up negotiations. There may
be some reaction when the nego-
tiations Resume at II o'clock to-
night, EDIT.
Vice Admiral Turner JOY sug-
gested that q subcommittee take
up the matter Of where a truce
line is to be established. The is
sue has deadlocked the talks for
some time. The Communists are
said to have shown considerable
interest, and they asked for a
copy OF Admiral joys proposal
for detailed study.
If the truce line goes to a sub
committee, the full negotiations
teams might move on "a another
item on the agenda.
The Allies have suggested sew
eral times that the negotiators
pass up the issue of the truce line
for the moment, and go on to
something else.
The Reds are insisting ON a
truce along the 18th parallel, the
old north-south dividing line in
Korea The Allies are insisting
on a truce based on the present
battle lines.

Key West is in 'precariouse

health who addressed the Kew
West Engineers Club last night
IN q talk which pulled few ps,nct1-

conditions and the needs for cor

He said that 20 per cent of KEY
West needs adequate sewage
treatment and disposal. Investi-
CATION has shown that there are
80 areas right in the city where
sewage discharges under houses
or directly out on the ground.
He reminded listeners that the
gospel of public health had to be
followed, figures and facts as pre-

that about four years ago. an art

of the present sewage system
