Publicity Notes of a Matinee Idol Aug. 10th: “This fall my contract calls for a six-month vacation. At long last, I can return to the legitimate theatre. I've been away from Broadway too long, ten years. I’m eager to be back on the stage, away from the Hollywood tech- nique of piece-work pictures, playing to an audience instead of a battery of cam- eras and a soundtrack. Of. course, I realize Hepburn, Landi and March were flops, but they had inept vehicles and miserable direction.” Sept. 15th: “I have so many excellent plays under consideration it is difficult to make a choice. If I had more time, I could select six of them and go into repertory.” Sept. 25th: “My director has chosen a superlative supporting cast. Rehearsals are in full swing and the play is swiftly shedding its rough spots and rounding into shape. When we reach New York, I am sure our effort will win a place in Mantle’s Ten Best.” Oct. 10th: “Opening night and while I should be knocking wood and burning incense to shoo Jonah away, I’m sure we need no other talisman to insure suc- cess than the continued brilliance which the cast exhibited at the dresss rehearsal. My only wish is that I had a longer va- cation.” Oct. 14th: “We certainly live in an age of speed. Newark to Los Angeles in fourteen hours, imagine it. It's good to be back. This is the only place they know how to produce pictures and plays. Broadway knows as much about art as a Hottentot. Audiences are as responsive as mummies. The reviews, obvious mis- interpretations, were ai I think I'll get some beefsteak for this eye and go play some bridge. Freddie phoned and said he and Elissa and Katharine needed a fourth. A.
