of alcohol, perfume and disinfectant; and again there is the anxiety about getting a cab to the end a doomed project since only the first 10 or 12 people leaving the theater are likely to be so accommodated. THESE ARE by no means all the physical discomforts attached to my career there is for instance the matter of trying to make notes on a program in the dark which are apt to seem to say, "Why she keep that goat in the attic?" on inspection the following morning. It has sometimes occurred to me that managements would be well advised to furnish each critic with a good stiff drink of something or other on his arrival at his seat, but I'm afraid this idea will never really take hold. The consensus among producers is that a writing man. operates in a state of faint uneasiness and melancholy.

The winner will appear on Screen Test on June 11. A part in U-I's "Hollywood Story" is the grand prize. Writers Hail Mystery Shows Mutual's "Murder By Experts" and "Mysterious Traveler" have been cited by the Mystery Writers of America for "outstanding achievement in producing, directing and writing radio mystery shows." i wRhla 21 loBrs can V7rvrrTmn Kay-Bee Appliance Co. i aI Ybwr fwwHT M1D0DGE DEALERS gsmmffi, -X If fLtlS Mkes wning lol for yeors Greoier Defreif 1 yJ ffUff QZCHIDSkrtk ladies jjfg0 ffS?

O'Keefe has had a varied career. He is best known as the author of the immortal "Man on the Flying Trapeze," In addition to song writer, he has been a playwright, singer, dancer, impersonator, actor, John Crosby Is In Europe. In his absence, bis column will be written by his friends. BY WOLCOTT GIBBS Reading this department the first thing I do every morning after various necessary domestic chores, like putting out the cat I have often been struck by the fact that Mr. Crosby seems to be under the impression that he leads a tough life.

He Is employed to look at, listen to, and write about stuff that usually appears to him to be the work halfwits. HE IS SUPPOSED to criticize work that defies any rational criticism; and altogether he Is an outstanding example of misapplied talent a hunter out after rabbits with a machine gun. The point I would like to make is that this is mainly nonsense, or at least comparative nonsense. In theory, If not necessarily In the opinion of my colleagues, am a critic myself, hired by an indulgent management to attend something like SO shows a year and subsequently to record my Impressions of them in a reasonably fashionable and antic prose. MB.

CROSBY is called upon IT Ik Oiieefe for rather more volume (about 200 pieces a year as opposed to 35) but otherwise I should say that his sufferings are negligible compared wtih mine. In the first place, his career permits him to operate in a stationary position, from an expensive arm-chair, with his coat off, and presumably with something cold and stimulating in his hand. In my work, there is nothing like this happy condition. As often as not, it is either raining or snowing when I set out on my appointed round. EVEN IF it isn't, there are seldom any cabs in the slum area in which I live so that I have to progress dismally and circuitously from East to West underground, usually winding up eomewhere in the mysterious catacombs underneath Times Square where it is said many a man has been lost forever.

The theater Itself, on an opening night, isn't a very comforting place for a nervous man. The old faces (and some of them are getting very old indeed) have the effect of a recurring nightmare. The off-stage conversation is loud and generally facetious, i for there is hardly a first-nighter who doesn't fancy himself a humorist. The air is almost always either too hot or two cold and strongly charged with the scent Undressed Announcer Ed Herlihy, recently named one of America's 10 best dressed men, lost seven brand new suits in a fire at his home. real estate salesman, newspaper columnist.
