We have come over from the Shubert, where young Mr. Morris has taken over the assignment of helping Theseus steal Hippolita's girdle In "By Jupiter." Mr. Morris is the current Homer of the piece. "Of course," continued Davy, "I am very happy to be working at all. But I am particularly tickled to be working for Dwight Wyman Hen in.

I was In 'On Your Toes' and Stars In Your you know. So this makes the third time. After six months of making radio recordings and bus-boying in the Stage Door Canteen, It's nice to get a stage under your feet." It isn't Just because he conies from Brooklyn and is proud of it that we like Davy Morris. He's a darned good actor. Also he can tell a dialect story over the after-theater beer so effectively that you forget that the expresses stop running after 1 o'clock.

David ahould be able to. In his 12 years on the stage, he's played every nationality of juvenile you can think of. Davy is an amusing guy to be with. The Morrises are thoroughly Brooklyn Father John for years was a Deputy Sheriff of Kings County and still is captain of Hip 5th Assembly District. Davy still goes home at night to 51 Chauncey where he was born and brought up.

Papa started him off toward a career of law and politics, via Public School 35, Erasmus Hall, and a degree from N. Y. but Dave didn't go for either. The only hope of the Morrises shoiked his family by making his debut on the stage of the Theater as juvenile for William Hodge in "The Old Rascal," immediately after graduation. "They didn't like it at all," he grins.

"In fart. Pop raised quite a stench. I said, 'Actors only cut each others' throats in a nice way, politicians go at it with a He said I wind up working six weeks out of every year. It wa.s a draw." "But didn't you tell me once that Sam Bernard was your mother's brother and that Fannie Van was her sister? With all that theatrical blood in the family, I should think he might have expected it would crop out in you." one reminded him. "Not only that," laughs Davey, "but his own sister was Annie Morris, who was quite somethln' they tell me back in Tony Pastor's day.

I guess he Just knew too much about show business." However, Davy fooled the family. Hes managed to keep pretty busy. After that Flat bush coming out party "The Old Rascal" did a Six months' run at the BIJou in New York. Then he went to Holly wood for a year for spots In such pictures as "Tea for Two'' and "Ladles' Journal." Back to Broadway for "Big Hearted Herbert." "Best of Families," "Revenge With Music," "Squaring the Circle" and "Morning Star." "Somehow I've managed to get into about every kind of show business vaudeville, musicals, drama, comedy. revues.

I've een been straight man for two burlesque comedians Red Marshall and Anne Cono. About the only thing I haven't tried Is night clubs." "Would you double in one now, along with doing 'By Jupiter I a.sk. "Would he chuckles, gulping the rest of his beer. "Just let one of those bistro guys a.sk me! But they haven't, so lets get the evubway to Brooklyn." WOMAN'S PLACE ISN'T IN, PLANE At Leait, That's What Fred Tells Rosalind, on Screen "So you think woman's pla-e in thr homr?" says Tonie, the lady dodo. (Notr: "Dodo'' is air slang for a student pilot.) "Well, it's not in a plane, anyway," answers Randy, the air are.

This conversation followed an air collision above a landing field which both Tonle and Randy managed to survive. And it marks the start of "Stand By to Die," a movie which Producer David Hempstead is making at RKO with Rosalind Russell and Fred MacMurray co-starred as a couple of hearts a-wing. From there on it flies fast into an adventurous romance between the pair of them, which takes Miss Russell into Jap-mandated Pacific isles and plenty of danger on a pre-war mission. There are all sorts of implications. But that wasn't what concerned Miss Russell this cay.

It wasn't the best time in the world to interview a star her first day at work on a new picture, on a studio lot which never had seen her before, with all concerned in cast and crew going through the jitters of an opening-day shaking-down process. But she said she didn't mind. I get those jitters, too." she said. "Always do. But talking about other things takes your mind off of it." So she talked.

Subject: The prejudice of male pilots against women fliers, as evidenced in the opening sequence of her new picture. "It exists all right," she said. "I've encountered it. In recent months I've visited 30 army camps, doing my stint to help entertain 400000 men. Getting around like that, you're bound to encounter a prejudice if it exists.

And I encountered it. "But," said she tolerantly, "it is natural enough, isn't it? Alter all. when you consider what men have done in fiying, how they've pio- neered. It was the same way she said, "when Cary Gi ant and I were work ing in 'My Girl Friday' and I was a lady reporter. I found out then thai newspapermen didn think so I much I mean professionally of course of women 111 their field." Tne darkly vivid Miss Russell laughed that one off.

abruptly swung back to the matter 111 hand thus business of posiiii; a woman flyer as i combating mawuline prejudice in order to get inuj the air in "Stand By to Die." "Why not?" she said. "We've got women filers in this country, and good ones. too. Some of them are I working for the Army Ferry Com-j mand, delivering big planes from factory to fighters. "Others are civilian instructors in army flying schools.

Doing a fine I job of it, too. i "Yes, ma'am, masculine prejudices just, have 10 sine way. When it conies to the air, you can't keep a good girl (in Ghost Towns Now Go 'Functional' I Have you ever heard of a func tional ghost town? You probably ha vent, becaie Universal built the first one only a short time ago. It was erected in the desert wastelands of Arizona for Gregory La Cava's new Irene I Dunne comedy, "Idy In a Jam." I A functional ghost town is like I any other ghost town in the nlri West, exrept that it. onlv looks as if it's falling to pieces.

Actually you 1 can live in it If you have to. Other ghost towns are oeserted villages which the years have destroyed. La Cava had hLs functional ghost town constructed because he wanted I to have the upper hand over the weather while filming scenes in the I Arizona desert for "Idv In a Jam." 'Ordinarily, movie companies on lota are forced to shut down production In bad weather. With his functional ghost lown I a Cava smiled at the elements. When the rains came, he moved indoors and continued filming, i "Lady In a Jam" was filmed In I Arizona because the story tells of a slightly daffy Manhattan heiress I who goes bankrupt and then treks West to Arizona to work an aban-1 doned gold mile In an effort to re-I coup her lost forcune.

i Supporting Miss Dunne are Pat-: ric Knowles, Ralph Bellamy, Eugene Pallette, Queer.le Vassar and Samuel S. Hinds. Color, and Things I Two hundred extras, seven sheep.

LISTEN HERE Gig Young gives warning to Nancy Coleman in the Fox Brooklyn's "Gay Sisters," while Geraldine Fitzgerald smirks in the background. Tailcoat's Travels Have Prop Men Tearing Their Hair In following the fabulous tailcoat which runs through "Tales of Manhattan" like an ironic leitmotif, the camera visits an odd assortment I of places, familiar and unfamiliar, squalid and opulent.

And in each I it picks up a unique variety of i props, some of them challenging the I -wizardry of the Hollywood prop men who have to produce them. "Tales of Manhattan." produced I by S. P. Eagle and Boris Morros 1 lld bv 20th Century-Fox. opens at the Music Hall Sept.

Roland Young. Cesar Romero. Gail Patrick. El.sa Lanchester, George Sanders and Jimmv Gleason. The first way station along the road that takes the tailcoat from the wardrobe of a matinee idol to ius ultimate end on the back of a scarecrow is a sumptuous hunting lodge.

Here Boyer, Mitchell and Rfta Hayworth act out a little tragicomedy among the appurtenances of game hunting. Securing various trophies animal heads was no trouble for the prop men. But get-ling a complete? of guns was. Several sport stores were ransacked before the collection, which plays a more than passing role in the film, was complete. A hock shop and Carnegie Hall supplied the varied backgrounds for Charles Laughton.

who plays a compo-ser of serious music earning his living by banging out boogie-woogie tunes on the piano. It wasn't easy to stock the hoi shop. What they couldn't get from real life pawn brokers they had to buy new. In "Tales of Manhattan" Edward O. Robinson progresses from a Bowery flophouse to an exclusive hotel.

This was easy. The casting bureaus are well stocked with character actors of cinematlcally speaking high and low degree. Perhaps the most unusual setting of all is the one in which the scene if a Southern sharecropper's village. Nowhere in Hollywood were there houses to match a sharecropper' tumble-down shark. They had to be built from photographs.

Paradoxically, the easiest of all the props to get was the most important one. The studio merely called in a good tailor, and had him make up a fashionable tailcoat.
