NEW YORK
BY KAREN MOLLIS
MANHATTAN'S annual winter outburst of plays and cafes, orchids and sables, got under way with no small help from Hollywood. Brian Aherne, Herbert Marshall, Douglass and Robert Montgomery were suave ambassadors from the film city who were stagestruck anew on seeing Burgess Meredith and Lillian Gish in "The Star-Wagon"; who laughed hilariously at the savage mimicry of Sheila Barrett and hoped that it is true that she is going into pictures, and who tried, with a few hundred others, to wedge themselves into the smallest and most select night haunts.
Madge Evans and Joan Bennett vied with the season's debutantes at parties and came out ahead by the omission of sequins, birds in the hair, and mask make-ups.
George Raft emerged from a bridge game long enough to cable his old dancing pal, the Duke of Windsor, an invitation to be his guest in Beverly Hills.
Arlene Judge confronted the Yacht Club Boys at the Paramount Theater with a placard reading "Unfair to the Ritz Brothers."
Elissa Landi and Nino Martini went to all the most unlikely places for tea, but were swamped by autograph fiends and decided it was more peaceful to be lost in a crowd of celebrities at "21."
Broadway Tonic. — Undismayed by the mild success of S\ l\ ia Sidney, Henry Fonda, and Elissa Landi in their current stage plays, Madge Evans is determined to appear on Broadway this winter. She's read a flock of plays submitted to her, without finding anything exciting enough. So she has gone back to Hollywood to wait until Philip Barry finishes one that has a grand part for her.
Catching up with her in a fitting room, I saw a collection of outfits that would rouse your most covetous instincts. The girl will have no truck with eccentric or exaggerated fashions, but has an instinct that guides her to select supple fabrics, distinguished lines. In this year of sartorial whimsies, she manages to look arresting and yet like a lady.
She wants to do a play, not only to remind Hollywood producers that she is an actress, not just an ingenue, but also for her own enjoyment. It is seven years since she experienced the excitement of a Broadway hit. But it is only sixteen years since the willowy Madge was the Shirley Tem-i pie of her day and was starring in, of all things, "Heidi."
Another Illusion Smashed. — Victor McLaglen roared into New York like a lion, en route to London where he will play in the first picture Gracie Fields makes for 20th Century-Fox, and dropped a bomb in our midst.
He introduced Marjorie Lane Donlevy as the girl whose voice doubles for Eleanor Powell whenever she is called upon to sing on the screen. He also introduced Brian Donlevy as "the greatest actor in the world." A man can be ■■ [ ripcht in his facts and wrong in his opinions.
