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.
