The Empire State has an eye out for the veterans, with special tours planned. Vacations of guides have been post- poned until after the convention, and all stand-by hands are called into service for the duration. Tour- ists, McGuire observes, aren't in- clined to ask many questions. Seems the altitude of the tower confuses them. Usually, the first thing they ask is to have the Empire State Building pointed out to them. Being told that they're on it often discour- ages further questions. One of the favorite questions is a stumper. Tourist conductors are in the habit of pointing out that the Normandie, if up-ended on her stern, would reach within 19 feet of the observation roof. They're getting jittery about dispensing this bit of information, because someone always comes back and wants to know how the Normandie could be tipped upright on her stern. Brinr-'Em-BiIck-AIive Farther afield in the tour business, Frank Buck's Long Island men- agerie is pleased with a 25% gaia over last season's visitors, with 5,- 000 viewers last Sunday alone. Main attraction now, besides the monkey mountain, is the black leopard family. Mama leopard is Incom- municado, her cage barred with a huge sign saying, "Expectant Mother." In traditional fashion. Papa Leopard nervously paces the cage next door. Parental anxiety isn't the reason for the pacing,, how- ever. Papa Leopard resents being a father and -would do away with the cubs if he got a whack at them be- fore they were old enough to talk back. The garter snake has also populated her pen, but she isn't dig- nified with a sign to announce the event.

Not only are rehearsals inadequate but script deletions and revisions rarely accomplished. Under such condi- tions it is not surprising, to ekperi- erice showmen that so few summer shows are Broadway possibilities. That isn't all of the squawk from the rainbow chasing scouts. They point out that none of those barn theatre managers ever pro- duced a play on Broadway and that goes for stage directors. In other seasons several aspiring producers dabbled amongst the rural show shops but this summer passed up the woods as unproductive. However, many actors have been in the country, away from city swel- ter, down where the bees hum and didn't have to put the bee on their friends. WELL, IT WAS AN IDEA Rome. Aug. 27. Plans to form a legit company uniting TuUio Carnunatt atid An- dreina Pagnani have evaporated. It had been hoped the company would appear in the U. S., too.
