He chose a friend one, George Friedlander, a Boston broker -to have the honor of supplying the dough, thereby cutting out a host of other eager investors. Friedlander has pledged the sum and whether or not he'll parcel it out to pals is a matter of no concern to Golden.

Rarely has there been such a mad scramble to get in on a play script, especially one of this sort, by new writers. Golden is now seeking the right director for the piece and then, with all the confidence in the world, he'll go into production by late Spring, he hopes. "Lady Coming to Town. "Louisiana Lady" has been decided upon as the title for the Eugene Berton musical comedy based upon "Creole," a play by Samuel Shipman and Kenneth Perkins. Monte Carlo and Alma Sanders, veteran Broadway composing team, have done the score.

With $175,000 worth of sets and costumes left over from the un-produced "In Gay New Orleans" earlier this season, "Louisiana Lady" goes into rehearsal on April 7 under Ede-ar MacGree-or's direc Herbert's Musical DOROTHY K1RSTEN will sub for the ailing Licia Albanese at Monday night's benefit at the Waldorf for the Marianite Sisters of the Holy Cross.

Kraus and Gorham will do Russell's three-character "My Best Friends" first, next Fall, and then a Hollywood comedy called "The Whole World Can Drop Dead."

The setting which was a part of the weekly broadcasts of the "Stage Door Canteen" radio show will be used.

The name of the sponsor's product, which darned near covered the whole thing, will be graciously painted out. The balloting for recipients of Tonys has been secret but there are indications that several "important theatre personalities will be taking bows" Sunday night, not for "firsts" or "bests" but for "original contributions, innovations and departures considered to further a good trend in the theatre." This year, awards will be given to a maximum of five actors, to "at least on composer, stage designer, playwright and, perhaps, even one of those 'forgotten men' of the box-office."

Published last August, it's been doing fine, having already been condensed twice for magazines, a quixotic proof of success in the literary game. Immediately after publication, six of eight Broadway producers tried to get hold of the dramatic rights, sizing it up as a fine basis for a satirical comedy and offers for financial backing were sudden and plentiful.

Frank turned the rights over to Emerson Golden, a newcomer in the production ranks, and Emile Eiss and Patrick Wilmot were assigned to adapt it. Wilmot is the author of "I Love Me Truly," which Ruth Chatterton is supposed to warm up in very shortly. Liss and Wilmot got it down into a three-set, 15-character job AMI SKMKNTS PDIPFC ITax incl.)
