News Brevities
"The Girls in 509," one of
the current season's biggest
comedy hits on Broadway, has
been booked
for a two-week
engagement at
the Shubert
Theater begin-
ning Monday.
Peggy Wood
and Imogene
Coca are co-
starred with
their original
New York cast
in this Howard Imogene Coca
Teichmann exploration of the
lives of two feminine hermits.
Miss Wood and Miss Coca are
cast in the play as a pair of
rock - ribbed Republicans, w h o
for an unhappy 27 years have
remained locked in a hotel
apartment, awaiting the day of
G.O.P. deliverance. Reporters
and politicians trying to storm
"the girls' " seedy stronghold
are met with violent and un-
pleasant reprisals. King Dono-
van, as a mousy journalism pro-
fessor in search of a reportorial
scoop, is first to capitulate—a
victim of Imogene's mooning
spell. Robert Emhardt, as a
political windbag, and James
Millhollin as an unscrupulous
attorney, provoke sterner meas-
ures. The dauntless old dowager
and her faithful niece win the
field handily.
