No less than five leading screen actors have had the boyish counterpart of their roles portrayed on the screen by Beckett, aged 11. The pictures are his present one. 1.

Comics and Dancers Casino Heaclliners Three of burlesque's biggest names this season. Binder Rosen, veteran comedy team of stage and screen, and Dian Ross, the "Flame of New Orleans," spotlight "Mardi Gras Maids" at the Casino. Comedy of the slap-stick variety dominates the show with Binder Rosen handling the scenes and sketches. Among the outstanding scenes in the show are "On the Boulevard" and the 'Hillbillies-featuring Binder Sc Rosen, and "Flirtation' and the "Brazillian Nuts" with Pat Daly the featured comedian.

P. Harris continues its amazing record-smashing business the best for that house since its was inaugurated about. 11 years aeo. Daily "Heaven" is topping "Alex- anaers Kagtime Band" and "Tree Grows in Brooklyn." iV Ui Stevenson's immortal verse, which ends with "Home is the sailor, home from the sea, and the hunter home fiom the hill" crops up in two current shows. John Wayne intones it with telling and poignant effect as he and his men bury a comrade in "They Were Expendable." In the Nixon's "You Touched Me," it is recited by Edmund Gwenn, as the old sea.

captain in the midst Of a "crying jag." Somehow, in the sam stage show, young and pretty Phyllis Ryder reminds me of Martha Scott in "Our Town." I notice in The program notes that Miss is a licensed pilot. She toured in "Dear Ruth" with the USO in Germany and France and was with the Training Command of the Wasps for more than a year until it was disbanded in December, 1944. John Carradine who shares the villainies of "Captain Kidd," starting tomorrow at the Stanley, with Charles Laughton, is probably Hollywood's most emaciated man. He's even skinnier than our local Rosey Rowswell. He's six foot four and weighs 120.

Universal is exploiting "Men in Her Diary," coming Saturday to the Fulton as "the blush of the year." In it.

Peggy Ryan pla-s her first straight role no singing or hoofing as the sec- retary to Jon Hall, whose wife, Louise Allbntton. suspects ot vamping her man. I just can't wait, until Saturday when I'll have my very best blush ready as I amble into Mr. J. Walsh's Fulton But maybe I'd better save it for "School for Brides." next week's offering at the Nixon, which, from all accounts is swarming with shapely dames who do not, hide their charms.

Cast, changes after its pre-Broadway showing here evidently were little help to Behrman's "Dunnigan's Daughter." June Havoc replaced Virginia Gilmore; Luther Adler took over for Glenn Anders but the play is closing Jan. 2fi. If the boat leaks, a new crew won't keep it afloat And "Rugged Path" is closing this Saturday night in a storm of controversy centering around Spencer Tracy, denounced bitterly by one Broadway critic who urges him to go on back to Hollywood and stay there. I think Tracy is being unjustly accused. His only error was in signing up for the play in the first place.
