Mr. Sumrall offered various proofs lof wild men being in Europe. ;stated that the Dictators are men of uncontrolled passions, and un- harnessed energy—therefore wild. In a ‘a mics | mo Am: ma | the following: “Mussolin’s Blackshirts |called because they |laundered in six weeks | “Goering was an inmate during = 1925 and 1926 in Langbro insane asylum, Sweden.

That will (a) assure instant suc- cess and (b) make you rich, wise and beautiful. Clarence Day’s letters about his father gave Broadway “Life With Father” last year—a hit, and a fine and satisfying the- atricel experience for any kind of theatregoer. Mr. Day died ,before his letters were so ex- pertly turned into a play by Russell Crouse and Howard Lindsay. The overtones of trag- edy sounded at the premiere of Miss Ruth McKenney's'fine play, “My Sister Eileen”, at the Bilt- more the other night. Eileen’s a hit. The play follows the pat- tern set by Miss Ruth’s letters to the New Yorker about Eileen. But Eileen and her husband, Nathaniel West, died less than a week before the opening, from injuries received in an auto ac- cident. The third of the magazine’s contributions to the stage was “Pal Joey”, a musical comedy based on John O’Hara’s letters from a nightclub singer to his pal. Joey's a heel—a Broadway heel. At the Ethel Barrymore Theatre the other night, Pal Joey was trotted out in a far better dress than he deserved, but at least Mr. O'Hara gave us a musical which' has a story. And the story isn’t the usual rickety frame on which most musicals are hung. This time Joey, a master of ceremonies in an obscure Chicago nightclub becomes the object of a rich and ,aging lady’s amour. She stakes /him to a high class joint, gets [uredothhnandg:vumm gate. Through it all Joey reacts Wml the. single-mindedness of meBroadwnylouu. Gene Kelly playl Joey with all the raw nakedness of the O'Hara char- acter, but manages to get into it somehow abit of backdoor gallantry. Rodgers and Hart wrote their usual swell tunes for the George | Abbott production, Robert Alton BROADWAY NIGHTS STORM directed the dances, the scenery is by Jo Mielziner and the cos- tumes by John Koenig. All top- notch, and the Abbott staging left no holes in “Pal Joey”. Everything. clicked into place like the matrices dropping from the distributor bar of a linotype machine. Gypsy Rose Lee’s kid sister, June Havoe, turns in a fine per- formance as a comedienne and dancer. Vivienne Segal is better than we have seen or heard her in many a moon as the rich gal who takes a shine to Joey. There’s a very funny take-off on the strip-tease by Jean Casto, who as a’ newspaper woman in low-heeled shoes, sweater, wool skirt and overcoat, describes her interview with a teaseuse at Minsky's. The sor'ng is appro- D" ‘There’s a pretty tune called “Love Is My Friend”, which i Miss Segal does' ewaedlhgly well. There’s a swell satirical song, “That Terrific Rainbow” which boots the usual nightclub ensemble around. There's a jit- terbug number called “Plant You Now, Dig You Later”, which is going to be sung byammlon high school kids. We under- stand’ that the title means, in jive, see you later, or so long, or something. “The Flower: of My Heart” gives the musical ' comedy all-out pretty-girl-finale | a g over with a sharp- toothed rake. There’s a lad named \Jack Durant who phyq another Broadway heel (this one ' an agent), with remarkable | agility. He does some sort of a | highly technical somersault over the backs of four chorus girls— and there’s a lot of fine ;nd fair d::ming by a young G al Joey” 18 dirty, and somes times the dirt is a bit on the snide side.
