At Ottawa, Richard MacDonald, secretary Treasurer of the Dominion Drama Festival, said he had no comment on the Alberta region's move. "So far as the D.D.F.

Is concerned," he said, "the regions are given complete autonomy. The only thing the adjudicator is required by us to do is name the winning Play."

Harold Steinman, producer of the show, signed the performers during the engagements played in Eng land and continental Europe in 1951, marking the third consecutive tour of foreign shores. The German contingent is headed by Lothar Mueller, considered Eur ope's foremost ballet, acrobatic and skater, who is making his dc'jut to North American audiences. From Belgium, the stellar skater is Van Gompel, who long has been regarded as the leading comedy-s'yle performer, also being introduced to domestic showgoers. On the feminine side, there's the fkating team of De Vos and Peper-man, a duo whose work caught the eye of Producer Steinman when trie revue appeared in Antwerp.

De Vos and Peperman are described as all-around artists who con tribute and paired numbers. With some 35 titles won between them, separately and as a team, Elvira Collin and Fernand Leemans, ased 22 and 25, respectively, are known as a duo who can accomplish "anything and everything" the skating book.

The play offers very little that is worthy of critical comment. There are a couple of fairly good stock laugh lines, but the plot creaks and the production that has been given the show is shaky and haphazard. The story concerns a navy rating, renowned for his talents as a lady-killer, who comes up against a young woman who turns out to be quite indifferent to his charms. His shipmates start A sweepstake over wno is going to give in first, the sailor or the girl, and the betting runs heavy. To no one's sumrise.

Following this climax, the nlnt after one or two more upheavals of a very minor nature, straightens it- sen out ana leaves everybody hap- py- Regarded as a vehicle fnr Mr Rooney's energetic histrionics, the play may be considered just the thing.

Everything lags while he is off-stage but as this doesn't happen very often, the show the whole to move along at a quite lively clip.

H.W, Eric Knight Sfory Planned as Musical New York, Sept. 10. ffi Hume Cronyn, veteran actor and stage director, thinks The Flying York-shireman would make a good musical and intends to do something about it. Contracts are already being drawn with Alan Collins of Curtis Brown for the London, Cronyn to take a two-year option on the famous short-story by Eric Knight. Published in 1937, the story deals with a Briton who suddenly discovers he has the ability to fly.

Movie rights to the tale have been sold and re-sold since 1938. However, Cronyn is not worrying about that yet because he wants plenty of time to find a top adaptor, composer and lyricist. He hopes that he and his wife, Actress Jessica Tandy, will do the leads in the finished product but modestly adds that b'ih will gladly step out of the parts for others more qualified.

Their duel and operation routines are their best efforts, but they don't let down for a moment from on to off.

Hammond and Birds is an act hoc hoon here before, but con tinues to anneal. A troupe of trained parrakeets goes through a routine that shows the effects of long and nainstakine training. The inevitable comedian in ine iroupe is i siai, but each does several things well. Held over are the Olguins, a whirlwind toss act which rivals the renowned Kanawaza Trio in ver satility. The female members oi tne trio eet auite a tumbling from their own antics and the footwork of the male Dusher-un.
