First indication: News that Lois Long, fashion scribbler, has been signed to do a special hour's program each week for women. si the Cabbage Patch returns to the James R. Ullman has picked a play-crowded week to bring his "Blind Alley" to Broadway. The date is Tuesday evening, Sept. 24, and the theater Is the Booth.

Other facts and figures Worthing Miner Is director; S. Syrjala, the designer; James Warwick, author. The cast includes Roy Hargrave, George Coulourle, Kathe-rine Warren, Ruth Fallows, Jay Adler, Mabel Montgomery, James Truex, Edna Ramsey, Lloyd Barry, James Brooks and Albert West. Katie Kaplan of the Jewish stage has a 30-week contract in her purse today with the management of the Public Theater. Her first assignment is "Heaven on Earth," a new Yiddish opera, which opens at the East Side Playhouse Sept.

28. SALES REPORTS Tickets for the first Sunday night premiere that of "A Touch of Brimstone" went on sale yesterday sale of tickets for "Dear Mr. President," which comes to the Mansfield Theater Saturday evening, Sept. 28, begins this Monday at 10 a.m. and continues until the same hoyr in the evening.

Arrangements have been com Shirley Temple Attends School in Movie Studio Shirley Temple, like millions of other girls and boys, started school this week in the small school room adjoining her studio dressine room. as production began on her latest picture, "The Littlest Rebel." Before the Fall school work began, Shirley was given a series of examinations by California State Board of Education officials and was declared a 2A pupil, a rating several classes higher than usual for a child nf hpr iv years. In addition to studies pre LECTURE BROOKLYN some and powerfully built. The new name seems to fit and he is much pleased with It. No one in Hollywood seems to be able to say Just why any certain name isn't "box office," or why another name is.

Length has nothing to do with it. Josephine Hutchinson brought one of the longest names on record to Hollywood and no suggestion that it should be changed was ever made. Richard Barthelmess had a long name and made it synonymous with success. Olivia de Havilland is a young actress of whom great things are expected yet her rather complicated namL has been left in its original state. On the other hand, no famous screen name Is shorter than that of Paul Muni, shortened, as almost everybody knows, from Muni Wel-senfreund.

Edward O. Robinson, with a long name, plays similar roles. Bette Davis' name is short and as pert as her pretty face. Jean Muir (shortened from Jean Muir Fullarton) makes eight letters do. Margaret Lindsay uses fifteen.

Eight letters have always been enough for Al Jolson. Warren Williamwho used to be Warren William Krech on the stage has thirteen and doesn't consider it unlucky. A name either fits a screen personality or it doesn't. And when it doesn't something has to be done about it. Ruby Keeler uses her own name.

So do James Cagney and Dick Powell and Joe E. Brown. But George Brent and Leslie Howard and Ricardo Cortez have had theirs changed to make them better "box office." (Brent was Nolan, Howard was Stainer and Cortez was Kranz.) This is a free country and any one who wishes can try for a place in the movies. But any one who gets there must be willing to change his name, if Hollywood decides it needs changing. Program is to be tagged "The Worn-- an's Page of the Air" and is to unfold for the first time on Sept.

24. There will be guest stars, authors and other figures of the day. Mark Warnow's Orchestra will furnish musical interludes. Cobina Wright conducted a similar hour last year on this network In addition, the School of the Air will be back for another series of five programs a week and plans are being made to develop a number of other hour-long attractions on the daytime schedule. Jessica Dragonette, NBC soprano, Mil be heard over the CBS network for the first time tonight as guest artist on the first of a new series of programs sponsored by a radio set manufacturer over WABC at 8:30.

Word comes from the offices of Earl Carroll's "Sketch Book," which, moved from the Winter Garden last week to make way for "At Home Abroad," and is now housed at the 44th Street Theater, that the revue played to nearly 1,500 more spectators last week than it did during the last week at its original home. Which is supposed to disprove that theory about what usually happens when a show moves from here to there.

All-Star Stage, Screen Bill at Met. Tomorrow Loew's Metropolitan Theater will be the scene of a premiere when "Here Comes the Band" begins a week's engagement there tomorrow morning. This Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture, featuring a strong cast headed by Ted Lewis, was originally scheduled to open at the Capitol Theater on Broadway, but the abundance of pictures now available for release over the Loew circuit caused this first starring vehicle for Lewis to be booked at once at the Metropolitan. Virginia Bruce, Ted Healy, Nat Pendleton, Harry Stockwell, Donald Cook and Spanky McFarland appear In support of Lewis in the production. As an extra added attraction, the Metropolitan will revive its policy of stage productions for one week so that Brooklynites may witness one of the greatest variety bills of the season.

Headed by Lou Holtz, Block and Sully and Belle Baker, this new stage show is replete with songs, dances, lightning fast steppers and plenty of comedy. Moore and Revel and Pete Peaches and Duke also will perform behind the footlights in the all-star bill starting at the Met. tomorrow.

Relief Wage Labor leaders and the Works Progress Administration rapidly approached an Impasse today as the unions definitely indicated their intention of rejecting any wage plan affecting PWA jobs that did not call for payment of the full prevailing rate. The unions made no secret of the fact that they intend to turn thumbs down on any compromise such as the one proposed by Gen.

Hugo S. Johnson, Administrator for the city, providing for a cut in work hours from 120 to 80 a month for skilled labor with the pay set at $1.17 an hour. The prevailing rate for skilled workmen is about $1.50 an hour. The expectation was that the Federal authorities in Washington would announce in a few days that a compromise similar to the Johnson plan would be acceptable here. In an effort to save the situation Mayor LaGuardia is understood to have threshed the matter out yesterday with the Joint committee of the unions wrestling with the pay question.

Added to Cast Darryl P. Zanuck, production head of 20th Century-Pox, announces that Frank Dawson has been added to the cast of "Buccaneer," and Bessie Lyle and Hannah Washington have been assigned to roles in 'The Little Rebel," new Shirley Temple starring vehicle. 4 30 WABC U.

Not one name In a hundred is considered "box office" in Hollywood. Four young people have found this out recently all of them newcomers to the screen colony and all of them ready to carve out careers in pictures. Joseph Sauers, for example, will be known from now on as Joseph Sawyer. He has worked in pictures for many months, but received screen billing only recently. After his excellent showing in" "The Informer," Warner Brothers signed him to a term contract, and the name change was suggested by Sauers himself.

'I didn't mind when people called me 'Sowers'," he explains, "or even Sours', but when I was introduced as 'Joe Sewers' I knew it was time to change the name." After a long series of tests, Nick Foran, redhead football hero who turned actor, was chosen to play the leading roles in a series of "West erns." It was argued and agreed that "Nick" was not a typical- sounding name for a cowboy but that "Dick" was. So it is to be "Dick" Fovfin in "Moonlight on the Prairie," and in all future pictures in which this player appears. Sybil Jason, diminutive child actress, whose talents will be dis played first to American audiences in "The Little Big Shot," coming to the Roxy soon, has played in Africa and England under her own name of Sybil Jacobs. The change was agreed upon before she started her first picture in Hollywood. Reason given: A more euphonious name.

Last of the four to have a name change is Hugh Enfield, who has been appearing with Mary Pickford on the stage in "Coquette." He will be introduced to screen audiences as Craig Reynolds.
