TRIO QUARTET end BIG STAGE SHOW "CITA Hartford Critics DIAU-3000 I DEL ine mix: oiu BY ALBERT W. WILSON. New York.

Jan, 30. (AP.) A young Englishman and his wife are stars today in. two different plays which are enjoying successful runs on Broadway, only half a dozen short blocks apart. Which all helps to eliminate any danger of career interference in the married life of Jack Hawkins, a lineal descendant of the famous Sir John Hawkins, a pioneer in the slave trade to America in Queen Elizabeths time, and Mrs. Hawkins, better known as Jessica Tandy.

Stars of British Theater. They are two of the brightest stars of the British theater. They were both here once before, eight years ago, in separate companies but didnt meet each other. Back in London they got the parts of the young man and woman who experiment in marriage unofficially in the Dodie Smith play "Autumn Crocus 'So we decided to regularize the thing," explained Hawkins. A dark, sharp-featured, broad-shouldered young man of 28, he is Lillian Gish's leading man this winter in another Dodie Smith play, "Dear Octopus." The octopus is an English family which behaves the way the sea monster does on its members.

Jessica Tandy, a fascinating auburn-haired young woman of 29 with greenish eyes, plays the role of Nora, idealistic heroine of "The White Steed," an Irish comedy by Paul Vincent Carroll. Tne only other couple. in recent seasons to enjoy such prominent billing on Broadway are Alfred Lunt and his wife Lynn Fontanne. In London, it has not been so rare, with Charles Laughton and Elsa Lanchestr, Hugh Sinclair and Valerie Taylor and Lewis Casson and Sybil Thorndyke providing similar combinations. Both Born In London.

Both Hawkins and his wife were born in London, in typical middle class English families which had no ties with the theater. But from childhood both were intrigued by play-acting and never deviated from their chosen goals. Hawkins, son of a public works contractor, was carried off from the family hearthslde at the age of 13 by a family friend, "one of those women purveyors of children for amateur theatricals." Next thing he knew he was under the wing of Dame Sybil Thorndyke, the noted actress and manageress who conducted one of the last of the "theater schools" to survive in the British capital. Success In America, Hawkins's first taste of success was in his last trip to America in "Journey's End" when his future wife was over here with an equally good part in "Tne Matriarch." "I was still wet from the egg, you might say." said Hawkins, "and the money and everything was almost too much for me." He met members of his wife's company but never her and she admitted that she "fell in and out of love with somebody else" during her stay here. They were "Ophelia" and "Horatio" with John Gielgud in London after their marriage.

Thev also played together in "Noah" and Hawkins directed his wife in London in "Honor Thy Father." They decided not to bring their 4-years-old daughter, Susan Phyl-lida. to New York "because she would have to live in a hotel." so fhe hss a whole London house to herself with an English "nanny" and two maids to take care of her. Rate Uniformity Case Before Maritime Board New York. Jan, 30. (AP.) A hearing opened today before an examiner of the United States Mari time Commission on a complaint by four companies in the intercoastal shipping trade against the Shepard Steamship Company.

The complainants, the American- Hawaiian Steamship Company, the Luckenbach Steamship Company the Panama-Pacific Line and the Dollar Line, seek to have the com mission order the Shepard Line to conform to the minimum classifica tlons and practices which the 11 conference lines in the intercoasta trades new employ WalteT C.C MPcPnerson. vice-pres- ident of the American-Hawaiian Steamship company, said at the hearing that the Shepard Line had refused to. cooperate with the conference carriers and that "of the 12 lines now regularly serving the intercoastal trade all but Shepard ere conference carriers, all but Shepard have realized and recognize the importance of rate uniformity."

Mr. Cohan will be surrounded by virtually the original cast who shared honors with him during the long Broadway run of this Sam H. Harris success. In the Cabinet we shall see Tayolr Holmes as Secretary Morgenthau.

Bijou Fernandez as Secretary Perkins, Paul Parks as Postmaster "Jim" Farley, and Marion Green as Secretary Hull.

In his opulent twenty-fourth floor office in the Federal Building Manton said in a weary and sardonic voice that his plans were uncertain but that "I think I'll try to build up some of these big industries I'm interested in." At one point, in answer to a question concerning the books of corporations with which he is connected, he responded: "You ask Dewey.
