London First-Nighters Get Pamphlet on U.S. Politics London (U.R) Broadway's latest musical export, "Call Me Madam" apparently is set for a long run at the Coliseum Theater purtly because the management took the wise course of informing the British public that peculiar things sometimes happen in Ameri can politics. In this, the producer, Jack Hyl-' ' ton, profited by the example ment station reports. The station said orchardlsts In West Virginia's eastern pan-! trees. handle district also have found, on numerous occasions, that ap- iple trees are Injured or killed when planted near black walnut The farm experts blamed a secretion by the walnut roots for the situation. They said the poison particularly affects to matoes, potatoes, alfalfa, blue berries and a wide assortment of flowers. of the Broadway hit play "Mis ter Roberts which had only In different success here a couple seasons ago. The British liked the setting of the comedy drama of the American Navy In the South Pacific and they liked the star, Tyrone Power. What they couldn't accept was the familiarity between enlisted men and officers In the U. S. fleet. It can't happen here. Mailers Explained When "Call Me Madam" open ed, all members of the first-night audience got a leaflet explaining the political facts of American life. With that background, the Irving Berlin musical drew criti cal cheers and another American found out she had to leave home to achieve success. Billie Worth, understudy In the New York company, got the same tumultuous reception that rocketed Dolores Gray and Bill Johnson to stardom here in "An nie Get Your Gun" after both had struggled for years to make the grade in the homeland. Miss Worth was last In London in 1937 as a chorus girl in the Dor chester Hotel revue. , If they still had a toast of the town she would be it. Critics Impressed Critics who saw Ethel Mer man play the role on Broadway said they never thought anyone could have equalled her per formance until now. "Call Me Madam" is a lightly- veiled satire on the American diplomatic service and while its central character may be fic tional, Mrs. Perle Mesta, ambas sador to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg Is expected to see It. "As you watch" says a pam phlet signed "Uncle Sam" the story of Sally Adams and her Impact on the little Euro pean state of Lichenburg, you should not forget that the ap pointment of a wealthy Wash ington hostess to the post of American ambassador would be Vilte possible in our diplomatic setup. Censorship Less Rigid - "Over in the States we have a less rigid censorship than you folks: we can present actors made up as living public figure, so when 'Mr. Secretary' comes to Madam's party you may be sure that he Is meant to be none other than Dean Acheson and when Mrs. Adams calls up 'Harry' and inquires about 'Bes sie's' bridge and 'Margaret's' con certs, don't be in any doubt as to whether she is talking to the Trumans. "In the conversation of the visiting congressmen and the lyric of the song 'They Like Ike', there Is of course allusion to the fact that we are to have a presidential election in 1952 and that Gen. Eisenhower will be one of the candidates." The leaflet will be given to all who attend the show. Fortune Telling .J s5 ""7 18 R9248 I2-J0: lw 1lTMitt'nrtfi A BIG FUTURE for this little twosome!
