Robert Montgomery, who startled admirers of his customary flip performances last week by appearing as a pathological murderer in Night Must Fall (see p. 67). promptly stepped into the news in still another role-as president of Hollywood's Screen Actors' Guild, Inc.

Curtain Call (by LeRoy Bailey; Quigley-Schachtel Inc., producers) is interesting as a nearly perfect example of a bad play. In his stage-struck youth. Author Bailey joined the company of the illustrious Eleanora Duse in Pittsburgh, did odd jobs for nothing while he studied backstage life and listened to Duse's reminiscences. Curtain Call is a futile and impertinent attempt to stir the ashes of Duse's affair with Gabriele D' Annunzio.
