IT. A MILD AMOUNT of interest can be aroused in George Abbott's latest production, "The Unconquered," because of the author. In two plays now, Ayn Rand has demonstrated she owns that thing among lady playwrights a violent, blood-hungry mind. She writea what the belles lettrlsts refer to as kachow stuff. Kachow sneezed the gun; the gun bellowed kachow; the revolver spoke; it said kachow; the rod coughed kachow; kachow belched the cannon; and so forth, far into the night, never far enough into the night, always too far.

So, in quaint, German-flavored English, Miss Rainer told how it thus supports Deputy Fuehrer Rudolf Hess, who officially wrote an heroine gets the money (in the familiar manner) from an idealistic Ogpu chief.

However, if Creek park, she italicized the crooked Soviet officials, and it becomes the chief's duty to arrest him and have him shot. That was the moment in the play when I felt most wistful. The girl was offstage somewhere, flying to the hero's side. He was standing, composed and arrogant, in evening clothes. The Ogpu chief was searching for evidence.

He flung open the door of the wardrobe and there, in plain view, was hanging the heroine's red dress, the one the chief had described as his favorite. Would he find it? Twenty years ago, I might not have known the answer to the question for several days. First of all, I would have had to retrieve my eyes from under the dresser. Then I would have had to go to the dentist to have my teeth repaired. My heart would have blown right out of my mouth, taking all my fangs with it.

Now, I knew right away he couldn't miss finding it. Hero Proves Cad. The chief hauled the dress out. "Whose is this?" he asked. The hero proved at that moment to be rather a cad.

A gentleman would have lied and said something to the effect that it was from his army days. He used it on dress parade. The hero said no such thing. He said, "It belongs to my mistress." This happened in the third act and, before we were allowed to go home, the Ogpu chief committed suicide. The play had anticipated him by three acts.

A couple of weeks ago Clark Gable and Carole Lombard were reported missing In the wilds of Mexico. Rhett Butler admirers throughout the nation were in a breathless frenzy as they glimpsed the ominous newspaper banner lines. Representative Is Late.

What actually happened In the Gable case was this: A studio representative, Otto Winkler, had an appointment to meet the vacationing Gables at a ranch near the California-Mexico border. The Gables like to rough It. They were traveling in a station wagon, with ITTLE OLD first "I love you" to their wedding service was Barbara's idea. Her first marriage (with Frank Fay) was one of those impetuous things and caused her great unhappiness before it ended in divorce. Priscilla Lane has been the on-and-off fiancee of Oren Haglund for about 12 months now (I'm not quite sure of the current status).

Priscilla says, "The longer the engagement the better. Of course, love is more unpredictable than the weather in southern California, and I guess when you're In love you're liable to do crazy things like suddenly getting married. Personally, I will do my best to be practical and wait." If Carole Lombard hadn't believed in long engagements, she would now be signing her name Mrs. Robert Riskin. Carole and Bob "went together" for a year before deciding they would not be happy as Mr.

A few weeks later the engagement was broken. But that only confirmed Jeanette's belief that one should wait before leaping into matrimony. And she took her time although not as long as with Ritchie in deciding the marital claims of Gene Raymond. This is another happy couple. Dorothy Lamour says, "You can put me down for short engagements.

I've seen a lot of couples, who looked as though they would be happily married, break up during a long engagement over a trivial something or other.

Sensing then the implication of the question, she hastened on: "I do not want to get into politics. I am helping wherever I i can. I think to be a politician Is a job for itself. I personally can- ino't be a politician.

I am an actress and a woman. Both are important occupations."

The mad rumor, according to Eddy's statement to this writer before he left on his current tour, was launched in Alabama. He has received thousands of letters from distressed fans, from religious groups and others to say they are praying for him and from medical group suggesting cures. A news story from Toronto a short, time ago said a doctor in that city had been chosen to operate on the star.

When Eddy demanded a retraction, it came in the form of a statement declaring that due to the publicity, the singer had chosen another doctor. While singing on the concert stage, Eddy sometimes carries a small notebook. This is give him something to do wfth his hands than to refresh hlrf memory on song words.

Winkler was a couple of days late keeping the appointment, and the Gables weren't on hand when he checked in. As he discussed the stars' possible whereabouts with an Ensenada representative of one of the news agencies, a small boy broke into the conversation. He said he'd seen what appeared to be the wreck of a station wagon in a gorge below a treacherous mountain road. "O-O," said the news man, and dashed away. Winkler gulped hard and engaged an airplane to scour the suspected "graveyard." All heck broke loose, not only in Culver City, but in news rooms throughout the world.

Meanwhile the Gables, unaware of the tumult, were sleeping in their four-wheeled hotel, parked on a country roadside. The story definitely was not a publicity "plant." Studios have long since sworn off "missing" yarns. They're much too dangerous. Rumor Is Annoying. As this is written, Eddy Is scheduled to be standing on a concert platform In Louisiana, singing his head off.
