Mayo. It is all about a Holly
wood glamor girl who goes back
to New York to star in a musical.
Most of the action is concerned
with putting the musical to-
gether.
To any one above the age of II,
this is a shopworn plot, but it is
not absolutely imperative that
one look at it from the old shop
worn viewpoint. There is always
the possibility Of what the trade
calls a "gimmick," although
Hollywood never really seems to
find a gimmick for it's tales of
backstage life.
This spectator brought his own
gimmick. Instead Of sitting there
like a reviewer, or a moviegoer,
he cast himself as a character at
an angels addition" one of
those run-throughs calculated to
lure monied people to invest in
new shows.
For purposes of this column,
"monied" means a man with
1888 in his pocket. This, frank
ly, is not a lot of money in some
circles, the kind for instance that
finance musical show producers.
It is a sum, however, that a man
with $1968 is unlikely to invest
carelessly. He will examine the
goods, which is what this man
proceeded to do.

the potential angel reached for
the 1888.
Reached-but only halfway.
Miss Mayo stopped him with
her first line to the effect: Am
I through. washed-up?"
No sensible human is going
to risk his $19.68 on a girl who
has so little confidence in her
self?
X X y
She was expressing, however,
merely a f1eeting despair. She
really is quite a spunky girl and
few scenes later, she is in New
York ready to relaunch herself
on Broadway in Breakfast in
Bed" Frank Lovejoy is the pro-
ducer of this opus and he is a
solid type, the sort to give a
potential "angel" confidence.
But it does not last. Or at
least it lasts only until Steve
Cochran turns up as the direct
or of the musical. He is the
temperamental type, unstable
under average circumstances,
virtually unhinged here because
he once was in love with Miss
Mayo. He does not want to work
with her, the idiot. Never trust
a man who won't give a pretty
girl a second chance, not when
it involves 1888.
Yet, not so fast. Cochran
needs a job. He is a director
who is hungry not merely for
crepes suzette but for a taste
of his former fame. He'll give
the musical try and it won't
hurt to watch the additions.
Some talented people turn up
in these. Gene Nelson who is
going to play the hero. He
sings and dances fetchingly.
especially dances. And Patricia
Wymore, the longest-legged girl
in the world. She gets a part
and any sane investor would
have to go along with Director
Cochran on that. The rest Of
the talent is handsome and live
ly and on that score Breakfast
in Bed" has the appearance Of
a sound gamble. A man might
dig up that other 80 cents and
make an investment Of $40 in
the production.
Still, ornamental people, even
if they are talented, are not
enough to make a hit musical.
There remains the book and
the music on which they are
going to work before the show
opens in New Haven to an audi
ence of Yale drama students and
q death watch" which follows
new shows out of New York.
Frankly. there has not appeared
to be much of a book, and GER
tainly nothing resembling a
memorable song has turned up.
Another thing missing is COM
edy. Once in a while a feeble
imitation of humor creeps into
the goings-on, but it fades
quickly. Meantime, Miss Mayo
and Cochran are carrying on
their perpetual Freudian feud
and the rest of the cast is pretty
we'll scorched in the cross fire.
In spite of it all, however. the
show finally does open in New
Haven and goes on from there to
New York. According to the
critics in the movie, itself, it was
a great hit which provided a
happy ending.
Not as happy a one, however.

tential "angel" who walked out
