Man About Manhattan by George Tucker on Broadway antinazi plays
New York critics note Broadway’s poor reception to antinazi plays this season despite a large Jewish population. The column surveys reactions to recent shows, mentions a Greenwich Village dancer’s relative, a Norwegian author’s witticisms, and a nursery rhyme parody tied to a funeral scene in a theatre piece. It also comments on New York drinking culture post prohibition and a midtown train scam affecting fairgoers, with side notes on actor Richard Gaines and lineage connections to historical figures Abe Lincoln and Jefferson Davis.

Chinese Wager On Chiang To Defeat Japan
San Francisco reports American Chinese bet over a million dollars on Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek in the war against Japan. Bets are "on the nose" with no payoff for second place, drawn from Chinatown and communities in New York, Chicago, and more. Remittances to China form much of the assets backing the wagers.
