UP AND DOWN BROADWAY Cooperative Production Helps Keep Broadway Actors Employed

By JACK GAVER United Press Drama Editor NEW YORK (UP)—Young actors know better than anyone else how tough it is to keep employed on Broadway. They seem to be trying more and more for their own salvation through cooperative production. Nothing may come of all of these intentions, but at least they're trying. The American Company, which includes directors and other theater people besides players, was formed last spring. Nothing much was heard of it until recently, when it was announced that it now has four plays under contract and will begin rehearsals soon of its first production, "A Temporary Island" by Halstead Welles. The latest script acquired by this group was "The Desert Grows" by Felix Morisseau-Leroy. Now comes a new group incorporated as New Stages. Thirty-three actors and 34 actives have bought stock in the enterprise, an off-Broadway theater has been leased and plans are being made to present plays that don't fall into the accepted Broadway pattern. Most of the players in the group are young and little known, although with some professional experience. There are a few whose names mean something in casting offices—Ruth Gilbert, Kermit Murdock, Beatrice Straight and Winston O'Keefe. In the advisory committee is an even more quite prominent crowd, including Myron McCormick, Jean Parker, Philip Ober, Katherine Locke and Anthony Ross. Sam Levene, who has been a producer of his own, is in charge of the enterprise, which is aimed at direct competition with professional Broadway. * * * The Hotel Plaza, now in its 41st year, has opened a new dine-dance room called the Rendez-Vous. It is where the old Plaza Grill was located. Continuous music is supplied by Payson Re and his orchestr: and Nycola Matthey and his Royal Tziganes for dinner and supper. For Christmas and Easter holidays, the hotel plans to revive in this room the tea dancing sessions that used to be a feature of the old Plaza Grill. * * * Listeners to the Ford Theater Program on NBC Sundays will be interested in this. The producer keeps the radio script editors informed about the liberties that have to be taken with some of the novels and plays adapted for the hour-long radio dramatizations. For example, Eric Ambler's novel "A Coffin for Dimitrios," is written in a series of flashbacks through meetings by the storyteller with various persons. "We cannot do these flashbacks on radio," the experts advised. "They are confusing to the listener and have been unrelated deliberately by the author." It was added that suspense in the book was light for the first two-thirds, reader interest being held by the writing itself. So, radio suspense had to be injected by creating personal danger for the story-teller. The last third of the book was followed faithfully. In adapting Eugene O'Neill's "Ah, Wilderness!" the greatest problem was condensing it to an hour. Also there were some "censorable phases which wouldn't do for radio, as when the young hero visited a saloon in an important scene." It should be a comfort to listeners who hate to see favorite originals tampered with that here is one program which at least tries to explain why and how.

Christmas Goods Are Received At Sexauer's

Christmas arrived early in Coral Gables in the form of shipments of swank and rib-tickling leather accessories, ranging from golf bags to wallets, and addressed to Sexauer's, the city's newest leather goods merchants. Designers let themselves go this year to provide leather-bound airplane luggage sets in royal blue, deep burgundy or beige to match vehicle's traveling costume. Bleached ivory cases in precious leather boast combination locks just like the family safe. The manufacturer's advice that you choose your phone, or some other unforgettable number as combination—lest you find yourself far from home and locked away from your wardrobe! Tops in feminine luxury accessories at the shop located at 218 Miracle Mile are the new vanity cases whose linings come already scented with delicate sachet and the purse-sized fitted cases for overnight pullman hops that feature a zippered pocket just big enough to hold a silken nightie. Inveterate motorists will like the full-length, folding nylon suit or dress bags, whose zippered inner lining keeps clothes in press on the road and sealed away from dust and dirt. Sturdy golf bags, hand-tooled wallets, casual bour-selets, new carved chess sets, and belts in 'gator or snakeskin answer the perennial question "What'll we do about Dad for Christmas?" If something you fancy seems to be lacking from the shelves—don't worry: George Sexauer will whip it up for you. The proprietor, who operates the luggage and leather goods shop in partnership with his wife, brings 25 years experience in the leather-working profession to the Miracle Mile enterprise.

Chickensless Idea Sponsor Hard to Find in Capitol

By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 11. (UP)—The pink-eared 'ones were not saying today and I don't mean rabbits. I'm talking about the embarrassed gentlmen who consider this week the eating of chicken a patriotic duty. Last week these same stalwarts classified anybody who ate chicken, particularly on Thursday, a traitor to his country. The question is how come? I packed myself a lunch of chicken soup in a vacuum bottle, chicken sandwiches and a couple of drumsticks on the side and took a tour of the marble halls for the answer. Who was the foot-in-mouth genius in charge of thinking up poultryless Thursdays? The White House wasn't responsible; President Truman just took the recommendations of his Citizens Food Committee. Wasn't Luckman Charlie Luckman, who is Bob Hope's boss and is recognized as one of the world's great soap salesmen, is chairman of same. Was it his idea? Good heavens, no. That left the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Clinton P. Anderson, secretary. Clint, you may remember, said at a press conference in Chicago that meatless Tuesdays and chickenless Thursdays were mere symbols, like going to church on Sundays. Later he announced that he really didn't mean this. Still later he said that of course he realized a dead chicken consumed less grain than a live one. Obviously he could not be blamed. Like a Ghost It looked like nobody in Washington had anything whatever to do with this chicken business. It snuck up on the town like a feathery ghost and nobody knew from nothing. But wait! I met a fellow who locked the door of his office. Then I bribed him with one of my sandwiches and he told me what cooked in the chicken stew. There's been a broad fight over this isle, but I have every reason to believe I'm accurate and if anybody wants to deny it, I'll be delighted to interview him and even give him my remaining sandwich. Luckman and pals in the advertising agencies, in any event, weren't even thinking about chickens when they hove into Washington with their plans to save grain for Europe. Their ideas included Meatless Tuesdays and Wheatless Thursdays. They even had sample posters prepared. Ought to Save Grain They presented this scheme to the President's cabinet committee, which had some doubts whether the wheatless deal would work. They kicked the idea around and then somebody at the agriculture department—not Anderson—said why not make it chickenless Thursday? That, he said, ought to save grain. Even as the policy makers were putting poultryless Thursdays the chicken experts downstairs were working out an eat-more-poultry campaign. When the left hand discovered what the right hand was doing, and vice-versa, the chicken pot boiled over. But it was too late. The President already had signed the orders. So They Howled So all the chicken people howled, as only the bureaucrats issued statements which sounded like Maury Maverick's gobbledegook to me, and then last week the boys reversed their ruling. Some of 'em aren't speaking to each other, I hear tell, while Luckman and Co. currently are trying to get the people to eat more chicken every day in the week, Thursdays included. They're even trying to eat it, themselves, but somehow they don't have much appetite for drumsticks. Bring on too many unhappy memories.

LOWER NO MN'S LAND Dot Thagard 'Takes Trip' In Interview With Sheltons

By DOT THAGARD Riviera-Times Correspondent We stopped in recently to see the Harold T. Sheltons of 614 Avenue Obispo. We had a wonderful two months vacation in our mind's eye through hearing of the trip the Sheltons took this summer. Stopping first in New York City they took time off to see "Finian's Rainbow"—then sailed on the S. S. America for England. The boat stopped at the English Coast, then on to France, then it goes back to Southampton, England, where they debarked. In London they stopped at the Cumberland Hotel for 10 days. In that time they visited, among many other places, Madame Tussaud's famous Wax Museum, where everyone of note or fame—past or present—is represented in effigy—Mr. Shelton—was weighed in the Museum—his card said 11 Stone 4—with the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park, Scotland Yard, Fleet Street and Dick-en's Old Curiosity Shop also on their list. Visiting the Royal Hay-market theatre in London, they saw Noel Coward in his new play "Present Laughter" and had seats near enough to hear his delightful asides or ad libs. Mr. Shelton waited two hours to get his picture of the statue "Eros" in Piccadilly Circus—all London was rejoicing in its return—headlines stated "Eros Returns!" This beautiful statue is so perfectly balanced it sways with the wind—it had been hidden in the country during the war. Did you know it costs 1 shilling to sit on a chair in London parks, although the benches are free—also, that licence plates for a moderately priced car cost $150.00 (and we complain). Of course, the Sheltons had their picture taken in front of No. 10 Downing Street. As they explained—"Everyone does—it's a must." After traveling through England (we can't remember all the names, because everyone's country has a name) but we do remember Preston & Windermore Lakes. Then the travelers reached Mrs. Shelton's native Ireland where they visited in Cork—took a trip by "jaunting car" (a jaunting car is a two wheel, horse drawn cart where passengers sit back to back)—around Killarney Lakes, which, from the snapshots look so clear—clear and beautiful. Next on the agenda was a horseback trip to or around "Caps of Dunloe"—then on to Dublin and the Royal Dublin Horseshow—the biggest and best of its kind in the world. This show takes place five days in August of each year. While Dublin is not a large town they have 200,000 at this Royal Horseshow. Also, while in Dublin the Sheltons went to the famous Abbey Theatre where they saw "Far Off Hills." The acting is so superb they felt they were living the experiences rather than seeing them. Also, at the Abbey if you are not in your seat by 8:15 you act before taking your seat. Furth-ermore (attention Mr. Editor) no pop corn! While in Dublin M. Shelton saw Mr. De Valera and introducing himself, asked if he would allow him to take his picture. Mr. De Valera graciously acquiesced—standing beside his brand new 1947 Dodge sedan. Ireland looks lovely—its lakes, water falls and country are so pretty, they said. In Dublin a river runs through the town on which all the main buildings are situated. Leaving Shannon Airport in Ireland on Sunday night and having breakfast in New York Monday morning, and supper in their home here Tuesday night, certainly showed Mr. and Mrs. Shelton how small the world has become.

IMPROVE YOUR HOME Florida National Bank at Coral Gables

IMPROVE YOUR HOME ARCHITECTS and builders often perform "miracles" in improving older homes. And in these days when the demand for new homes is greater than the supply, many families are deciding not to move from their present homes. Instead, they are repairing, replanning, redecorating and bringing their homes up to date for far less than a new home would cost. Practically any kind of property improvement can be financed on the FHA Pay-out-of-Income Plan. Repayment is made in convenient monthly installments suited to the borrower's income over periods up to 3 years. FHA rates are low—$5 discount per $100 per year. No down-payment is required. Why not let your architect or builder give you an estimate of the cost of the alterations needed? Then let us show you how you can finance the work on the FHA Plan.
