A—I8 “March of Ti From Babie AM USEMENTS. me” to Range s to Hawaii Picture Postal Season Brings Views From Everywhere—Roadsiders Find Startling -Haired Players. BY JAY CARMODY. Famine in Red T IS “March of Time" time again. I tion appeared on a local screen, it bowls and similar subjects. The next with such varied topics as Rockefcller problem of becoming the forty-ninthe: State. Commercial baby farms are dealt with without gloves (just with sound cameras) in the episode relating to the appealing story of today's 300,- 000 orphaned infants. The story is built around the “Cradle,” famous in- stitution at Evanston, Ill, which is society’s antidote for such establish- ments as the “baby farm.” The Child Welfare League's fight for ade- quate and uniform laws to safeguard adoption of children also is stressed in the film, which opens Saturday at Keith's. The Rockefeller Center Chapter, advance word has it, will make drama out of a “white elephant,” which turned out to be one of the most suc- cessful realty investmenis in his- tory. * ok ok % FHE day's mail certainly proves that the picture post card sea- gon is approaching its height. From Dan and Martha Terrell (he's Warner Bros. press man, she’s his wife) at Bethany Beach comes one which reads: “There are {wo cocker spaniels here for every good-looking gal—but Tim- my's the only one with a tail.” Tim- my's the Terrell's cocker, and prob- ably is the only one in the with a tail. From the hi s a card s h seas, signed G. C. R, ng very simply, “Come on down.” What we want to Know 45 “who,” and “where.” Helene Kravatz, Hollywooding hap- pily at the moment, sends a picture of the Hollywood Ambassador on the back of which is wr “What are you doing in Washi the place for you.” We are melting in than which there is no better place to melt; not even Hollywood. * % ok % NTHONY HOPE wrote “The Pris- oner of Zenda” without looking far enough ahead. Or the Roadside | players selected it as their third ve-| hicle without counting available red- heads. Whichever it was, with the play coming up next Monday there's | e terrific shortage of carrot-topped named Richard ginia True, who ‘Then, there is Kreuzberg, will play Betty G the leads raven tresses. All three of them have to undergo some kind of process of correcting nature for its folly is mot realizing what color hair they would | need for “The Prisoner of Zenda.” If you remember that it turns very largely on red hair, you will realize that there is no way out of the di- lemma short of rewriting the play or remodeling the players to fit. ‘The Misses Gray and True, not to mention Kreuzberg, are quite unhappy about it. Everyone of them is against dye, even though Walter Abel went | for months as an artificial red head while he was playing “The Wingless Victory” season. | As the paper goes to press, the so- lution seems to be that Miss True | will settle for a henna rinse while | Dorothy Croissant will have to dig up satisfactory wigs for the others.: | * ok K X | PICTURE we really would like to see is one that mever will be anything but a typographical error. | “Knight Without Ardor,” was its| misspelled title in the announcement | which came to the drama department.
