Negotiations for a title bout between James J. Braddock, world's heavyweight champion, and Max Schmelling, German challenger, are expected to be called off because of the disclosure that the German has broken off with Joe Jacobs, his Jewish manager, who piloted him to the championship. Informed that Schmelling had cabled the New York State Athletic Commission that no one in America had the right to act for him in making matches, boxing authorities declared that that meant the end of Schmelling as a fighter in this country. The anti-Nazi boycott has cut into the receipts of all Schmell-ing's American fights. Schmelling's associates cited his identification v>'ith Jacobs as proof that the fighter was no Nazi. But now that he has apparently dropped his Jewish manager Schmelling may now be expected to feel the full force of the anti-Nazi sentiment.

"BIG BROADCAST"
The Sub Junior Council will pre-
own way been important contributors to the development of the drama in sent their Fifth Annual "Big Broad-this country. In the theatrical world they are well-known as O'Neill.
Discovered by Nathan «-
Nathan met O'Neill when they were both youngsters. Their mothers had been classmates in a convent school. Nearly a generation ago, when O'Neill's genius was recognized by oiily a few and when his earliest plays were still strangers to Broadway, it was Nathan, then a young and brilliant dramatic critic, who became his principal advocate. It was in the old Smart Set Magazine, then edited by Nathan, that O'Neill's plays were first published, thus introducting the
Eugene O'Neill
brilliant dramatist to a wider circle. The acclaim that came to O'Neill after his works appeared in Smart Set was the first rung on the ladder of success.
Nathan has been writing about the theatre since he was 24. For more than a generation he has been known as a trenchant writer who never hesitates to puncture inflated repuiaiions cr to give praise to those whom oth- Interest," was under his direction
of a number of successful one-act plays before she joined the Guild. She is and for many years has been the Guild's casting and executive director. It v/as Miss Helburn who developed the type of theatrical audience that has made the Guild famous. She is credited with pioneering in the subscription policy of theatre tickets. As director of the Guild she gave the theatre a new sort of play, the plays of O'Neill, Werfel, Sil-Vara, Behrman and many others who have made theatrical history. She also discovered the Lunts, Dudley Digges, Helen Westley and dozens of others whose names are emblazoned in Broadway's lights. As one who may claim a vicarious share in O'Neill's Nobel Prize she is now embarked on a new enterprise which may yield another O'Neill. The Bureau of New Plays, which she established and directs under the sponsorship of seven of the major film producing companies, is jthe most ambitious and wholesale encouragement of young theatrical talent ever essayed.
Philip Moeller
Mceller, whose direction of the Guild's productions of O'Neill's plays did so much for them, is one of the real geniuses of the contemporary stage. Since he left Columbia University he has spent his whole life with the drama. He joined the Washington Square Players as a youngster and grew up with this organization when it developed into the Theatre Guild. The Guilds first play, "Bonds
cast", an affair rivalled for its success and popularity in the city, on Wednesday evening, February 3, in the Women's Building. Promising to be outstanding in every way with entertainment of singing, dancing, and Norman Pelman as master of ceremonies, and a girls' five.pisce orchestra led by Miss Jo Anne Ag-new. Tickets for the affair are selling fast and are obtainable from any club member.
An important general meeting will be held on Sunday, Jan. 17, at the home of Yetta Hornstein, 2114 W. 15th Ave., and all members are expected to turn out.

ers have neglected. His criticism has often been so savage and bitter that many have called him a destroyer, one who would rather smash than praise. But to Nathan we owe the vastly improved tone of dramatic criticism. He would never kotow to circulation or money. If a play was rotten he said so; if it was good he said that too. His critics refused to admit that his bitter criticism was predicated on more than a desire to be smart-alecky.
Well past fifty, he is one of New York's most popular bachelors. He is Gotham's most celebrated diner-out, his steadiest companion being Lillian C-ish. He is an expert fencer and can handle a gun well enough to win medals if he entered tournaments. But his chief love is the theatre. He has been at a thousand and one first nights.
The Theatre Guild
Virtually all of O'Neill's really important plays have been produced under its aegis. To playgoers the Theatre Guild is mostly a name, but back of that name are some vital figures in the progress of the American theatre. And not the least important of them are Theresa Helburn, Philip Moeller and Lee Simonson, three of the founders of the Guild, who have for so long been identified with O'Neill.
Miss Helburn might have been a successful playwright if she had not volunteered her services for a fortnight in 1920 to help organize the Guild. She had achieved quite a re-
tions of our time.
putation as a poet, critic and author Copyright 1936 by SAFS
In twenty years he has directed 54 plays, including all the O'Neill plays and five of Shaw's. It was he who invented the arrested motion in O'NeiU's "Strange Interlude" which enabled the audience to understand the author's "thought" lines. When he's not directing he plays the piano; and composes. He seldom goes to the theatre, but reads plays voraciously.
Simonson—Designer
Simonson, one of the two or three greatest stage designers of our time, is credited with many far-reaching innovations in stage settings. A student of painting in his younger days, he left the army to join the Washington Square Players. When the Theatre Guild was formed he became one of its directors. Most of the settings for its plays have been his work. Audiences seldom notice settings, but Simonson's creations have frequently drawn rounds of applause. Simonson is also an eminent interior architect and industrial designer. He has designed pianos, furniture, homes and merchandise. His knack of obtaining unique effects with the most commonplace materials is amazing. A strong believer in modern art, he once wrote

FLAGRANT BOYCOTT VIOLATION UNEARTHED
NEW YORK (WNS)—A racket involving a violation of the anti-Nazi boycott by German-Jewish refugees in the United States is exposed by the Joint Boycott Council in a warn, ing to Jewish manufacturers. The Council points out that refugees appeal to Jewish manufacturers to help them sell certain German goods which they (the refugees) managed to get out of Germany. The manufacturers fall for this story and thus contribute to the breaking of the boycott. Actually many of these refugees are the American sales agents for German firms and are imposing on Jewish manufacturers. The Council reveals that some of these refugees return to Germany regularly to replenish their supply of goods. It is also said that scores of these a play to advance his ideas on Indus- refugees are dealing in German trial art. Naw he is engaged in de- leather goods and have taken offices
