C. U. Play Festival Results
In Sale of First Comedy
By Jay Carmody
When Catholic University’s playwriting festival—a 12-month pro
gram of seven plays by new authors—was announced, its purpose was
impressively explicit.
It was to give new dramatists a chance to see their works produced
and to give potential sponsors ot these plays on Broadway, or in the
movies, an identical opportunity.
„ Play. a comedy in two acts, by John McGiver titled “All

val early in June.
The first play, “AU Gaul -Is DU
vided,” this week was sold for pro
fessional production to two Chi
cagoans, J. Michael. Lambur and
John F. Golden (not the established
Producer Golden, but a new one).
The deal, just closed in Chicago,
gives its war veteran author a break
beyond that anticipated when the
festival was announced. Such in
stant response to the festival idea
was anticipated by no one, at least
not until the comedy was produced
to notices which ranged from the
favorable to the half-hearted.
The university’s plan of retaining
control of material to the largest
extent possible is embraced rather
fully in the contract between the
author and Producers Lambur and
Golden. Direction of the play,
which is due to open in either
Chicago or New York in October,
will be in the hands hf the uni
versity’s Walter Kerr. Kerr, author
of the Theater Guild’s musical,
‘Sing Out, Sweet Land,” is Mc
Iver’s playwriting teacher.
Design of the production will be
the work of David Ffolks whose

Those dour looking Graves’ End
marshes which, served Charles Dick
ens so well as atmosphere in “Great
Expectations’’ will be the problem
of Randall Brooks, Olney Theater
designer, next week. It is his job
to set up a house whidWwill breathe
their dampness as the setting for
“Ladies in Retirement,” which will
bring Estelle Winwood and Fritzi
Scheff to the Maryland theater as
co-stars of the drama.
Miss Scheff, for 33 years in the
theater, established a new record
for weeks played on the summer
circuit last season in the Edward
Percy-Reginald Denham comedy.
Her run began in May and con
tinued through September. Miss
Scheff plays the role of Leonora
Fiske, the heroine with the blotchy
past whose plan to settle in .rural
solitude is violently disrupted by
events over which she has a mini
mum of control.
Miss Winwood impersonates the
’more terrifying of the insane sisters
who descend upon Miss Fiske’s re
treat.

The late Raymond Moore, for

in 1940, will realize his dream for

This week, under the terms of
Moore’s will, stebs were taken to
establish the Playhouse as a drama,
music, ballet, horticulture and, fine
arts center. The foundation, headed
by Joshua Nickerson and Francis
R. Hart of Boston will be chartered
by the Commonwealth of Massa
chusetts.
Moore’s entire estate was left in
trust for the purpose which is now
about to be realized.

Murray Sheean who has been act

first fall production of the Arling

Sheean will direct “Devil in the
House,” for which first tryouts will
be held next Tuesday night in the

Hollywood:
M’Murray Tops
As Glam Among
Film Stars v
By Bob Thomas
The claim most often voiced by
press agentk is that his client, even
if a 4-year-old, is “good copy.” Not
even the most zealous publicist
would dare say that about Fred
MacMurray.
Among Hollywood correspondents.
MacMurray is notoriously “bad
copy,” which means he comes forth
with an infinitesimal amount of
news. A wealthy and well-estab
lished star who enjoys his leisure,
he seems not to worry about pub
licity. We kidded about his news
lessness on the “Miracle of the
Bells” set and I asked why he re
frained while others broke their
necks to get their names in print
His answer was like MacMflrray—
wordless. He merely placed his
hand over his mouth in a “speak
uu tTvu gesture.
* * * *
MacMurray is one of the hazards
of my job, but fortunately (I’m
speaking from a news standpoint),
there aren’t many like him. Nearly
all stars are trained, as part of
their profession, to talk glibly about
themselves, and indeed, that is all
that some of them can talk about.
You get used to their various habits
and adjust yourself accordingly.
Bob Hope, for example, is the fast
traveling interview. You usually
get a good story after you wade
through- writers, etc., and follow the
comic around for an hour. Bing
Crosby is much the same, though
not as glib as Hope. Van Johnson
is more of a sitter. He will stay

in one place and talk to you about
anything.
Humphrey Bogart is always avail
able and if he doesn’t have a story
for you, he’ll make one up. He
might even give you a “tough’* act
with it. Errol Flynn' is also produc
tive, always enacting the role of
Errol Flynn. Dana Andrews will
talk an arm off you, $>ut you have
to be careful that you get some
news in return.
* * * /*
The women have less leisure time
on sets. They are usually inter
viewed in their dressing room mir
rors while they are being made up.
Such stars as Irene Dunne, Claud
ette Colbert and Ingrid Bergman,
who are married to doctors and
make but a few pictures, are gen
erally nonproductive for news,
though charming. Betty Hutton, on
ttye other hand, will knock herself
out to provide news, and Joan
Crawford will do it in a more digni
fied manner.
Yes, it’s pleasant work, but there
is one class of performers I can’t
go for—the child stars. I love the
little tykes, but for news they’re
awful.
oea rsiscuit s ^iim
The rights to the film story of Sea
Biscuit, one of the most popular
thoroughbreds ever to race on the
American turf, have been acquired
by Warner Bros, from C. S. Howard,
who owned the great champion.
The picture, to be called “The
Story of Sea Biscuit,” will be filmed
in Technicolor. David Butler, who
was director of the classic racing
picture, “Kentucky,” will direct “The
Story of Sea Biscuit” for Warner
Bros.
Sea Biscuit, which survived acci
dent and injury to come out of re
tirement and win the Santa Anita
Handicap, ranks- among the great
est money winners of all time.
