Director Allen Crafton, in describing the play, said, "The play isn't at all serious, doesn't contain a single message, and offers nothing more than two hours of escape in the theatre.

"Anybody knows how tough it is in these modern all-stone cars to find a piece of wood to knock on for luck," he explained.

Arthur Lake is as interest in novel inventions as is Dagwood Bumstead, the character he plays in the "Blondie" movies series. His latest is a radio amplifying system on his car which he uses instead of a horn in traffic. The loud-speaking system is fastened to the top of his car and he talks into a small hand microphone, requesting the car in front of him to move over.
Hollywood, Jan. 17—(UP)—Scratch a Hollywood star these days and you're likely to find an inventor.
Dick Lane, fast-talking actor of Al Pearce's Gang, and well-known character player in pictures, interests himself in a number of business enterprises. His latest is a handy milk bottle cap which has been patented and is being used by 15 milk distributors in the Pacific Northwest.
Latest in the ingenious devices originating in Hollywood is Jim (Fibber McGee) Jordan's gadget, a piece of wood which clamps on the steering wheel of an automobile. When he wants soft sleep
Bandleader Tommy Dorsey, who just left for home with his group, is glad to be returning to New York because in the cellar of his home is a new type miniature electric train track which he is developing.
Penny (Blondie) Singleton has a new permanent wave machine ready for patenting. She got an idea and took it to a mechanic to be perfected.
And Billy Artzt, radio and screen musician, is installing an ingenious device for sorting music in his home. The music is filed according to mood.
When he wants soft slow tunes, he presses a button and out of a cabinet will pop a full drawer of the right kind of music.
