A noted investment broker gives you his frank views
on the Centra|s new annual report

When you ask "Whats new on the New York Central
it's my responsibility to have the answers I've just finished
studying the Centras annual report for 1855, so
think I'm in pretty good position to point out to you just
what is new.
The year was good one The company earned S8.03
per share 1t paid regular quarterly dividends for the first
time since 1881 Net railway operating income increased
l249o and at S738 million was the highest in the industry
But to get true picture Of the roads performance we
have TO bear in mind these words of Chairman Robert R.
Young ut only in relation TO the past that your officers
and directors regard the 1855 performance of your railroad
satisfactory
The Central earned 1880 on its rac-making valuation
last year By way of comparison the report shows that
all other railroads averaged 4.29o while most public
utilities earn so return.
Why do the railroads come out second best? Here again
Mr. Young gives the basic facts of railroad economic life:
Like the bOX railroads find themselves in when rate
increases lag months behind wage increases the subsidies
that 60 to competing forms Of transportation; and that old
demma-he low return and low depreciation rates that
have made replacement of obsolete equipment such slow
and difficult process.
To these ills, Mr. Young urges the entire industry
to take its case before the people with onehundrcd

that he was hurt, but on return

Miss GrenfeII
Scores in Both
.omedy,Song
BY HARRIET GRIFFITHS

Coincidence Joyce Grenfell
proved charmingly last night
that there are more sides to her
repertoire than the toothy Eng
lish games mistress with which
she has delighted movie audi
ences.
Miss Grenfell undertook a diff
cult task in carrying virtually
an entire evening of songs and
monologues, revealing a pleasant
singing voice along with a
variety of witty characterizations
There were two brief piano inter-
Iludes by her accompanist. George
Bauer
AS she explained to her COM
Ifortably sized audience in Consti-
tuition Hall, it was an informal
program. Indeed, she obligingly
lent Mr.. Bauer a shoulder in
heaving the piano closer to the
IfootlightS so everyone could hear.
Despite that. Miss Grenfell on
stage undergoes a metamorphasis
from the effect of closeup pic
lures of her comical faces and
generous front teeth. She be-
comes stately and feminine.
She deftly sketched her chate-
laine of one of those very COM
Portable apartments in New York
City who is absorbed in the
science Of earth ray thought
forces. the nursery school
teacher trying to get rambunc-
tiouS flve-year olds to pretend
they're lovely flowers. and the
unmarried older sister who has
devoted her life to her three
brothers.
But perhaps she comes even
more into her own as the pro-
Iprietor of a very small antique
and interior decorating shop who
goes around saying things like:
Stripes? I've had them. You
get in at the end of a long and
exhausting day and there they
are. still going up and down."
And there was a satisfying
Isprinkling Of that nervous giggle
and awkward stance which make
up her classic portrait, partic-
ularly in her sketch Of an English
school girl, which she admitted
was rather photographed.
Possibly it should come as no
surprise that Miss Grenfell man.
ages a southern accent even bet
ter than a cockney. She is the
London-born daughter of one of
the famous Langhorne sisters of
Virginia. and a niece of Lady
Astor.
Miss Grenfell's wit hasn't the
barb Of her noted aunt's how
ever. 1t is so full of good will
that one laughs more with than
Iat her. One Of the prettiest OF
her "serious-ish" songs was en-
titled II Like Life. Miss Gren-
fell obviously does.

lesser company, including the
servants.
Mr.. Rattigan, you see. never
overlookS the smallest value Of
the smallest character.
The second of the plays is
genuinely touching. Its author
has written with an affecting
regret for a couple of life's truly
lost creatures, yet with a humor-
ous regard for their Gripping
oddities.
No man Mr.. Rattigan, nor
woman Miss Leighton, to deny
there is something funny as well
as pathetic in the buff -colored
.mousiness of the girl who goes
on loving the dashing fake of
an Army major after he has
been exposed as a moleSter of
women.
1t is the very fullness with
which this off-beat theme is
treated that makes it so moving.
The whole hotel. not merely the
girl, is involved in the majors
debacle. This is because the
question to be settled is wheth-
er he shall be driven away from
his last refuge or whether the
decency of his fellow guests will
rise to the deplorable test of
keeping him around.
Leader of the opposition to the
latter is the formidable old lion
ness of mother who has kept
the girl cowed from infancy to
middleage. 1t is an acridly
pitched battle she directs, prin-
clpally with a humane young
medical student and the hotels
philisophic proprietreSs. The
disclosure of the conflict is that
it is possible to find enough COM
passion among reasonably civil
ized creatures to forgive the
emotionally Ill.
Life being unlikely to bring
most people face to face with
such as Miss Leighton. Mr.. Port
man and the others play here,
it is a memorable thing to meet
them in Mr.. Rattigan's plays.
This is especially true when
they are played so vividly not
only by the stars but by one Of
the best acting companies on
Broadway today. In the group,
ever so notably. are Beryl Mea-
sor as the hotel keeper with the
understanding heart: Donald
Harron as the humane, nimble-
tongued medical student: Phyllis
Nelson-Terry as the ferociously
Mrs. Railton-Bell; and
William Podmore as the Mister
Chipslike retired teacher.
Micheal Weights settings, the
dining room and lounge of a
Bournemouth hotel. provide a
time-worn frame for the
time tattered humans of this
worthy hit from England.

AAObOCOb AlAIos
1t is a double decker slice of
life in one of those English sea-
side hotels that Mr.. Rattigan has
created and Miss Margaret
Leighton and Eric Portman make
1t a work of deep appeal. The
production was imported intact
from London by the Producers
Theater and Hecht-Lancaster.
This sort Of judgment is both
superb and rare.

Fair Lady" and Long Days
Journey Into Night" will have a
lovely time of it at Separate
Tables" And durably more
sweet-than-bitter memories of
how dramatically Mr.. Rattigan
reports on a way of life other
playwrights have ignored.
Mr.. Rattigan has never been
more clever than in this trick of
writing two plays in one, keeping
the basic characters constant, or
the same, while creating such
diverse pairs of leads to be played
by Miss Leighton and Mr.. Port
man.
In the first, Table by the
Window" he tells how a beau
tiful woman'S flight from lone
illness leads her back into the
arms Of the equally lonely fall
ure of a husband she once
scorned for another. The other,
liable Number Seven" and the
more moving of the two, de-
scribes the pitiable relationship
Of forlorn. terrified girl and f:
phony military hero who has
just been pinched for pinching
women in a nearby movie
theater.
Using the playwright's sepa-
rate tables to signify the utter
aloneless of humans, Miss Leigh
ton and Mr.. Portman play their
diverse characters to the last
shadow of revelation.
+ &&
Mr.. Rattigan, an astonishingly
acrobatic writer, is dealing in
compassion in both of these
plays. He is being reasonable
aboGt it, however. to the extent
of not demanding equivalent
amounts of pity for both sets
of principal characters.
This is to say that he asks
Miss Leighton merely to explain.
and not attempt to justify, the
lovely ruin she has made of
herself by her naughty self
seeking in the first play. She
is a beauty who has herself as
much as life to blame for the
lip-biting remorse with which |
she has pursued her former
mate to his hideout on England's |
south coast.
AS for Mr.. Portman's man Il
her last desperate hope to escape
drugs and rejection-his claims
to sympathy are presented with
out falsity, also. He is presented
as one who has made his own
contributions to the mess of his
life and the girls, first a gut
lessnes that cheated him out of
a Labour Cabinet post, and fl
nally an alcoholic appetite that |
has made the nearest pub pref
cradle to any further battle for
the rights of man.
What the play has to say
about this pair is uttered with
no denial of the wry humor of
their situation and with deal
Of candid comedy in their rela-
tions with other occupants of
