HOLLYWOOD.
The Hollywood press pho
tographers' fancy dress party is
always the most amusing of the
year. This time they had to
buck the formal dinner for the
King and Queen of Greece, at
the famed Cocoanut Grove. In
spite of the competition, the
photogs had a field day, or
rather night, at the Mocambo.
Joan Crawford, the queen of
the glamour gals, had two escorts
Scott Brady and Mel Dinelli.
She wore the leg-revealing green
outfit from Torch Song" But
Joan had practically no voice.
I'm hoarse," she told me, from
shouting praise for Mercedes Nc
Cambridge's performance in
Johnny Guitar" If this doesn't
heal the breach between these
two gals, nothing will.

of the past. He likes it all, its
social, political, chronological
and other f1avors and in any
year might turn out book on
any of these.
This year. Mr.. Morris chose
to write about the American
theater, an institution now in
a state of ferment which inspires
prophets to foresee everything
from it's death to radical rebirth.
Curtain Time" is the title Of
the new volume which Morris
fans can now put on the shelf
beside Postscript to Yesterday"
"Not So Long Ago." etc. 1t is
published by Random House
which can sit back confident
that a lot of readers will turn up.
Writing Curtain Time" is an
act of devotion on Mr.. Morris
part. 1t is a family tradition OF
the Morrises to love the theater,
intensified in Lloyd's case by the
fact that he has served terms as
both playwright and critic. This
has made it easier for him to
get in the mood to write an
enthusiastic book, which is what
he has done.
Curtain Time" picks up its
subject in 1920, a vintage year OF
disrepute for the drama in Amer
lea. Actors were behaving scam
dalously off-stage and audiences,
especially in the galleries, were
enthusiastically doing the same.
It was not merely the congeni-
tally piouS who were shocked.
The theater's conduct forced
some of it's best friends also into
the role of it's SharpeSt critics.
AS for the latter, however,
their reproofs were constructive.
If the theater could be sobered
up a little bit, they concluded.
it was just the lively art that a
lively young country could take
to its heart.
Mr.. Morris points out that this
was strenuous tussle, involving
some glamorous names-George
Frederick Cooke, Edmund Kean,
Junius Brutus Booth and ever so
many others. TitanS these were
who could lose their self-control
as easily as they could take emo
tional control of audiences. New
ertheless, they laid a firm foun-
dation for an art that became
dazzlingly popular if never truly
fine.
Actors are the principal figures
in Curtain Time" and not with
out some cause beyond their
mere variability. These were the
fiery ones with the burning zeal
to carry theater to Natchez, Gin

cinnati, st. Louis, New Orleans
and elsewhere on the frontier
when it lost caste altogether in
the East. They "Cordelled" their
way up the Mississippi and stum-
bled through blizzards from one
bankruptcy to the next with a
demented kind of enthusiasm
that Mr.. Morris finds admirable.
And makes admirable.
There is the liveliness OF q
gossip column in the authors
trick of taking the story Of one
of these early Colossi and letting
it fan out over the landscape
and the lives of its friends and
enemies. One such of these Is
Fanny Kemble, an actress whose
wit was as blistering as her
beauty was incandescent.
This gave her a flair for repel-
ling men as fast as she attracted
them; gift that also makes her
a fine character for Mr.. Morris
history.
Curtain Time" is packed with
these.
1t is the weakness Of Mr..
Morris history that it some
times is too exclusively interested
in actors and managers. Grant
ing that playwrightS were some
thing Of an inconsequential lot
and directors almost non-exist-
ent Direction, too), they might
have figured more in Curtain
Time"
The author could have found
inspiration for ignoring these,
of course, in the work of the
illustrators who provide Curtain
Time" with a lavish collection of
rare illustrations. These graphic
artists with a sharp eye for the
d m a tic concentrated on
glamor as do today's photog-
raphers who take 1000 pictures
of Marilyn Monroe to one of
Maxwell Anderson. Perhap S
10000.
Curtain Time" is another
work that testifies to it's authors
thoroughneSS. Mr.. Morris is sec
ond to no reporter in his zest
for fact and his appetite for
anecdote. Blended with a nice
discrimination, the array of both
in his latest work is impressive.
Perhaps on the not unsound
theory that it is too recent-and
possibly too thoroughly reported
already-he is not much con-
cerned with the theater since
1920.
The period from then until
now, he brushes in broadly
which may flaw Curtain Time"
as a work of complete reference
without affecting it's reliability.

Money Bills for
ST. Croix Gel Only
Portidl Approved

Governor de Castro has APP
proved in part a money bill
passed by the Municipal Coun
Gil Of st. Croix, it was an
nounced today.
Approval was given $4,000
for the Legislative Assembly
and $4,000 for essential and
urgent work at the Alexander
Hamilton Airport on ST. roix.
He has disapproved an item
of $4,000 for the Department
of Education and $3.50. for Pub

the reason that it is anticipat-
ed that a substantial deficiency
will be incurred in st. Croix
which makes it necessary to

scrutinize all items this year
unless the items are urgent
and essential for the proper
functioning of the Municipal
Government.

be made available. His success
sor, Mr.. Hest, intimated a
few months back that provid-
ed the Municipality were will
ing to apportion certain funds,
he would recommend to CAA
to make available a proper
tomato ALLEGATION forSan ex-
tension of a thousand-foot

AS my Principals are con-
fronted with a restriction in
their service to the Virgin Is
lands which necessitates shut
ting because of the limitations
of the St. Thomas hill, the
modern aircraft they have
used in the CV-240 has handi-
capped their operations in and

Ninety-eight percent of the
traffic sold by PAA to the Virgin
Islands has been short-hauled be-
tween San Juan and the Virgin
Islands by Caribair, whose DC-3
equipment is most suitable for
the limitations of both st. Thomas
and ST. Croix Airports.
As air transportation advances,
every carrier with increasing traf-
fic looks toward utilizing aircraft
with an increased payload, but, so
far, no improved and recent air
craft has been constructed that
can land or rise from runways of
the length of the two Virgin Is
lands Islands airports.
It is common knowledge that in
the whole of the Caribbean, st.
Thomas and St. Croix with 4,200
it., are far behind other airports
which average from 5000 to 1000

that is Castries. st. Lucia. The hill
in front of Vigie Airport obliged
BWIA to send in only Lockheed
Lodestars carrying IA passengers.
However, the st. Lucia govern
went to work and increased the
runway of this airport to permit
DC-3's to service that island.
When Powelson first serviced

rine Airport Of st. Johns, Saint
Croix in planes not able to carry
more than about nine passengers.
Permission granted him by the
Army to use Benedict Field, now
Alexander Hamilton Field. al
