Clan Will deaf her for Holidays Washington, D. Dec. 11 (U.R). President and Mrs. Roosevelt will celebrate Christmas with the traditional family party at the White House, religious worship, and public functions for the underprivileged, the First Lady said today at her weekly press conference.

1 ii ieiv nvuzupupyui Gets Under Way at The Winter Garden By BURNS MANTLE. Well, anyway, the Olsen and Johnson boys are generous with their new deal at the Winter Garden. They want to share their wealth. So they have added a country store feature to the finale of what they call the new "Hellzapoppin." Now, being one of their New Grandson 'MX if On Sunday, Dec. 24, the Roose-velts, headed by the President, ill attend church services.

After a Christmas Eve dinner, members of the family will hang their stockings from the mantelpiece in the Roosevelt clan will gather for the holidays. Probable exceptions are James Roosevelt and his wife, who live in California, and Elliott Roosevelt and his family, who are expected to remain at their home in Fort Worth. STAGE PLAYS stead of two. Bettymae and Bev- PI 73 no ItC LAST 4 WEEKS! ngogemenf tndt Sotvrdvf Inning, Jon. 6 1 you are not only invited to do a "Boomps-a-Daisy" with the actors in the aisle, but you run the risk of being presented with a sizable washtub, or a stepladder, or a mop, a live chicken, or a sucking pig to take home with you.

As we were retreating through the lobby last evening Mr. Johnson was offering a startled chicken to one who was reported to us to be Kobert Benchley, and Mr. Bench- Olsen and Johnson The boy share their wealth. ley, if it were indeed that happy New Yorker, was receiving same with the nonchalance of a practiced fancier. There was also what appeared to be a small cradle for Billy Rose end the blushing Eleanor Holm Rose.

Which leads us to believe that a few of the gifts are, as they say, planted. Still Riotous. The country store feature brings another riotous evening organized by the popular zanies to a close. Last night's audience seemed to roe a little more subdued than did that one with which we sat some months back, when "Hellzapoppin" was knocking Mr. Winchell off his pins and starting its record breaking career.

But it may be that the audience seemed quieter because the show was noisier. The boys have learned how to get the most out of their microphones, and they don't miss a decible. It also seemed to me to be a shade cleaner than was the first "Hellzapoppin." Here again I may be wrong, and I should not want to be a killjoy for those who like their vaudeville dirty. But it did seem cleaner. Just as rough, but cleaner.

Perhaps we have been seeing so much refined burlesque lately that our standards are changing. The opening picture show has been freshened, and by the Radio Rogues, so a note on the desk informs me. It is still a hilarious start for any entertainment. In Between. The Rogues themselves continue a highlight of the program, serving as an interesting transition between radio and television.

Their imitations are those of radio, but their pictures might be the pictures of television. I feel I should be better able to recognize the new items, but some way they seem quite like the old items. There is a new ensemble number I liked, with the girls in plaids doing a Scotch dance. And, unless I'm wrong, they have recalled that veteran of the old days, Charles Withers, and his "Opry House Tonight" number, giving it a new and ingenious Goldberg setting-. There are four sisters now in 1 1 i i icj viauc itr tm uancinr, out now with Bonnie and Mel Reed to sing for them.

The bicycle genius remains, and is good. There is a new and more expansive magic act, with Hardeen officiating. Barto and Mann have some new acrobatic dances, which seem a shade less on the rough side than they were. The aisle lady is still looking for Oscar, and the restless madame for the ladies' room. So you will have no trouble recognizing the old place.

The folks were boisterously happy last night. Especially when they were doing the "Boomps-a-Daisy." Barry more Comes Home Next Month John Barrymore will bring his own personal one-ring theatre circus, "My Dear Children," to these parts on the night of Jan. 26. Locale: The Belasco. The comedy, which has been the outstanding event of recent Chicago theatrical history, will close a 33-week run there Jan.

6 and play Pittsburgh, Cleveland -and Detroit on its way here. On Jan. 7 Barrymore's producers, Aldiich and Meyers, will give Chicago a new production Betty Bruce John Barrymore with Constance Bennett in a revival of Noel Coward's "Easy Virtue." Miss Bennett is to tour with the revival' and very probably will come to New York in the late Spring. Betty Bruce, last seen in "The Boys From -Syracuse," will he the dancing star of the New Nat Pearson show at the International Casino. The Wiere Brothers, of "Straw Hat Revue," will be chief comics and Carol Bruce will handle the tunes.

On the subject of casinos. Lew Brown has leased the Casa Manana and plans a series of variety bills there. Mildred Natwk-k, of "Stars In Your Eyes," "Missouri Legend" and other shows, is the latest player added to Gustav Eckstein's "Christmas Night" by producer Guthrie McClintic. Lee Shubert and William A. Brady have completed castings for "Billy Draws A Horse" and will open the British comedy at The Playhouse Dec.

21. Mc-Hugh, who did some of the songs for "Streets of Paris" and recently went West for a film assignment, is headed back this way for the next Shubert musica1, "Keep Off The Grass." Medrano and Donna are now at the Plaza's Persian Room. Eleanor Roosevelt saw "The Hot Mikado" in Washington last night where the swing operetta was virtually sold out for the full week's engagement the first day the box-office opened. It's drawing fine crowds on the road. S.
