Things like that make the

Bloomgarden's first play Of
the season will be the politi-
cal piece. 1.-THE Gangs All
Here" written by Jerome
Lawrence and Robert E. Lee.
1t will take over the Ambas-
sador Theater Thursday eve
ming, October /.
The principal character in
The Gangs All Here is the
President Of the United
States" said Bloomgarden.
THE character Is known as
President Hastings - that's
the only Identification we
give him. Melvyn Douglas
plays the President and this
should be one of the best
things he's ever done.
Setting Shifts
1.-THE locale shifts from time
to time. It opens in a smoke
filled room in Chicago. moves
along to the White House, to
a basement and finally to q
hotel in San Francisco. The
President dies at the very
end.
jerome Lawrence and
Robert E. Lee (they did In
herit the Wind") are good
writer's and they have a won-
derful sense of the theater.
There will be three beauti-
full girls in The Gang One
of them. Ann Williams, plays
the Presidents mistress. She
once understudied Gwen Ver-
don. The other two are
Yvette Vickers and Alberta
Mcdonald. Jean Dixon plays
the Presidents wife"

Kermit Bloomgarden, soft.

have an engagement of two
and a half weeks in Phila-
delphia, and that's all before
1t comes to New York.

REX has a fabulous role.

NEW IOkth. - ACITCSS
Shelley Winters was at
tempting to wind her way
through q plate Of spaghetti
and, at the same time, dis
cuss such varied subjects as
beatniks and the current
state Of the motion picture
industry.
"Beatniks," declared the
strong minded Miss Winters,
ARE phonies. They are try
ing to escape from reality =.
from their responsibilities.
All this talk Of theirs about
o new religion and q life free
Of commercialism is so much
hogwash.
There are people who
prefer to live a CONNER
cial life, but they aren't
beatniks. BY the way. why
can't beatniks be clean? The
ones I've seen look like they
never take q shower. Some
one should start q colony Of
clean beatniks.
II know q girl who used to
dance at the Copacabana
night club. She married q
truck driver and they built
their own home in Brooklyn.
Can you imagine? Built
their own home. They live
the non-commercial life, and
they're happy.
Happy People
1.-THE fellow owns his own
truck. He works during the
fall. winter and spring. But
when his kids get out Of
school for the summer. he
takes of. too. The family
spends the summer at the
beach. They get together
with the neighbors once o
week for cards and beer.
They have q garden. Why.
the gal actually cans things.
You know. tomatoes and
things like that.
These people are happy.
Really happy. OF course, they
don't save anything. Per-
haps the guy will start to
worry some day about what
he'll do when he's so. But
right now they're happy. But
they're not beatniks. They
take showers. And they don't
spout pilosopsy and poems"
Miss Winters, IN town to
promote her new Aim. "Odds
Against Tomorrow" In which
she costars with Harry Bella
fonte and Robert Ryan,
switches conversational sub
jects with ease.
Just Two Kinds
About the movies:
Pictures these days fall
into two categories-wonder.
full and lousy. There's 40 in
between.
1.-THE older producers are
putting out bigger pictures.
They have bigger armies.
bigger screens, bigger bosoms.
Everything Is big. They con-
centrate on that. Newer pro-
ducers are filming subjects
too controversial for tele-
vision.
"Television has helped the
movies to improve. Forced
improvement. actually. Holly
wood has had to grow up to
realize that movies are an
art form, while television is
mostly for commercial appeal.
Although we may not like
the product, we should be
thankful for television. Be-
