has died laughing in a the

"We used to murder whole
audiences as a matter of
course. But times have
changed. This kind of mo-
ton picture making relaxed
the people and was good for
them. Only the furniture
industry suffered. There was
no demand for secondhand
phychiatric couches.
Hollywood ought to be
rocking the national boat
with whoops and yells. In
stead Hollywood is whimper-
ing and bailing out tears"
In writing his King of
Comedy" according to famed
Biographer Cameron Ship,
Sennett actually put down
28l funny pages without ever
being satisfied with his own
definition of comedy. "Of
course, comedy is a satire on
the human race" he says at
one point.
In another attempt, the
old master claimed his spe-
cialty was "exasperated dig
nifty" Again he called it

And, Whats funny, what
humor really is, and how to
put it on screen or on paper,

reCCly. There is an intimacy
in this that makes the audi
ence feel it is part of the
absurdity to which living
has come. Misery, however,
does not love company to the
degree which Invitation to
a March" assumes.
Three families are involved
in the plays triangular tan
gle. Miss Holm is the main
elementalist. she and her son,
name of Jablonski: she still
is a Miss Jablonski, which
makes her son a you-know-
what. Like his mother, how
ever. he is a very nice YOU
know what.
The Sleeping Beauty he
arouseS is the daughter Of the
widow Of an Army general
who is only a couple of days
away from marrying the
stuffy son of an oil tycoon
and the latter's wife. These
constitute the other two
families whose wedding plans
are properly messed up by not
merely the native boys kiss
but the revelation that he is
the natural son of the oil
tycoon.
The latter was there, in
the same dunes, 81 years be-
fore and his marriage vows
simply dissolved in the soft
night air blowing across the
beach and its heat-retaining
sands.
In Safe Hands
This skeletal outline is
adequate to permit anyone
to whisk the pieces of Mr..
Laurent's plot together. So,
polished professional he is as
play-maker, he leaves its
charm potential strictly up.
to his acting company.
Nothing could be safer, al
though a number of expert
enceS could be more reward
ing. Miss Holm is a bright,
blithe. unashamed naturalist
sort who can hardly fail to
make the spectator feel what
a fool he has been to pay
attention to his fellow sum-
mer resort types instead of
getting to know the natives.
Her Camilla Jablonski, hon.
est, earthly Cor at least sandy
is wise, amusing and attrac-
tive far beyond the powers of
any of the specifically more
sophisticated ones who rent
her properties for the summer.
Nevertheless. as Mr.. Lau-
rents heroine. she is hard
put to hold her small lead
over Miss Heckart. The lat
ter plays the wife of the oil
tycoon, a wildly and expen-
sively coStumed beach loller
with a poisonous disdain for
her fellow creatures.
Rewarded Effort
She does this sort of thing
splendidly, as everyone knows,
and so does Madeleine Sher-
wood whose own sort of thing
here is the bird-brained
widow Of the general and
mother of the plays Sleep
ing beauty. Times wear
and tear on this character
in nowise COWS Miss Sher-
wood, whose brave effort to
Undue it with speciality is
not unrewarded.
AS the Sleeping Beauty
and the plumber-prince
whose kiss awakens her so
disconcertingly, Miss Fonda
and Mr.. Macarthur are at
tractive and promising, both
a credit to the royal acting
families of which they are
offshootS.

and Lucinda Ballard the cos
