Sailor, Beware! (by Kenyon Nicholson & Charles Knox Robinson; Courtney Burr, producer). The thirteenth play of the new dramatic season has no jinx on it. It is as funny as it is bawdily outrageous, and so neatly executed that you will not recall many individual lines. The comic elements in Sailor, Beware! are simple enough: "Dynamite" Jones (Bruce Macfarlane) is the deadliest love pirate in the U. S. Navy. He has cardboard boxes full of garters, duly tagged, to prove it. In Panama, however, lives a young lady named Billie Jackson (Audrey Christie) whose hard heart has gained her the sobriquet...

...When he was a young man, Ernest Torrence planned to be a musician. He wrote the music for a play called The Lady from Lyons, was first baritone for the Savoy Opera Company in London. His lanky 6-ft. 4-in. physique, tufted eyebrows, gargoyle nose and prickly Scotch burr soon made him a popular, villain. His first cinema, in 1912, was a talkie: an experimental version of Faust made at the Edison laboratories. His whiskers became really famed in the U. S. after Tol'able David, in which he was a Kentucky feudist with a homicidal mania. When...
