Ginger Rogers Undismayed By Flop Play | Says She Is Willing To Tackle Broadway Again; Has Returned From New York By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD (®—Undismayed Ginger Rogers says she is willing to tackle Broadway again. But next time it'll be different. The glamor girl has returned “Love and Let Love.” She isn't bitter about the experience, but she is about the play's author, Louis Verneuil. If the playwright's ears are burning, it’s because Miss Rogers has been doing plenty of talking about him. “I can’t understand how any au- thor would refuse to alter his work until a week before the New York opening, when it was too late,” she declared. “It was apparent from the reviews out of town and from anyone who saw the show that it needed revisions. But he absolutely refused to touch it. “Talk to anyone else in the cast Scattered showers and turning colder in Northern, i. completely rewrote the third and) est + —__-— ( do tmas Glynn Archer, 1214 Von Phister street, decorating Ha ifolded, *¥-—— tin and Chapmz two »-| 47 7:30 4.M., EST the | Atlanta ved: | Augusta ippro- | Billings toon: | Birmingham ations, | Bismark hol- | Boston i Buffalo ind | Charleston Chicago Club, | Corpus Christi are | Denver For | eh ect, | El Paso Ft.

After all, every ‘playwright is expected to work on the play during the out-of-town openings. That's what the try-out period is for. “Why, F. Hugh Herbert was re- writing constantly before ‘The Moon Is Blue’ wert to New York. act ih Boston, a week before the Broadway debut. I would love to work for an author like that. I don't care how much work it would be.” Miss Rogers said she wouldn't be adverse to doing another Broad- way show, “But next time,” she added, “f would have some legal assurance that the author would vhatever rewriting was neces- 8 “After all, it’s the same sort of thing we have in the movie busi- ness. We have a retake depart- ment, which shoots additional scenes if there appear to be dull Miss Rogers got back her orig- inal investment of $23,000 before the producer decided to close the play. Although hooted by the crit- ies, the show might have turned a profit. It had a healthy advance sale, largely because of the star's personal draw, “But we lost the advance by coming into New York three weeks late,” she explained. “We stayed longer on the road in hopes of getting the show in shape.’’ She commented that she encountered the worst audiences in Washing- ton, D. C., and the best in Boston. “I learned one important thing,” she remarked, musing over the ex- perience. “When somebody comes to me and says, ‘I’ve got a play,” F'll tell him, ‘You ain’t got a play, stage and found out how it goes with an audience.” Miss Rogers’ return to the mov ies (in “We're Not Married) will be a brief one. As she said: “Before, I never could settle down to one career and devote all my time to it because I didn't know whether I was going to stick to the movies or try the stage. Now I know where I'm going—— to television!” She soon will start her fabulous contract with CBS. main dishes, | beef. § your table at the dance, will be det tions.
