Ellin Brooke, who will be . of the regular company at the Cape Theatre this summer, has had wide experience in the comparatively short time she has been in the theatre, though she really started to act when she

was a child.

Her early education was Philadelphia, from which city she went to Radcliffe College for the regular course. Following that and somo apprentice work with theatre groups she went to London a year or so before war broke out and won a scholarship at the Royal Academy in that famous city. She made a good impression as a student there and was cast in an English production as Louka in George Bernard Shaw’s “Arms and the Man”. She also studied dancing abroad and appeared as a dancer at the Apollo Theatre in London. The outbreak of the present war forced her in 1939 to return to the United States. She continued her studies with Lee Strasburg and with Michael Chekhov and with dance instructors and soon appeared in the Mordkin Ballet and the Sara Strauss Bal-

let.

Then in 1940 and 1941 M*'«« Brooke became rather more ... live in the legitimate theatre field and her experience included the following engagements: a tour with the road company of “Wintersct"; performances at the Atlantic Repertory Theatre, at the Chase Barn Playhouse, and at the Greenhills Playhouse. She also spent some time at e well-known Bucks County Playhouse, nearest neighbor to the Cape Theatre among summer spots. She was in "Petticoat Fever” with Dennis King, in “Boy Meets Girl” with Florence McGee, n "Tonight at 8:30", and in ‘They Knew What Thev Wanted”. And in addition she is not without her contact with the Broadway professional theatre itself, for she has been in the Shubert production of “The White Plume”, in Chester Erskines “Conquest in April”, and Shubert’s “Rose Marie”. As is clear from the foregoing e is competent in both acting and dancing and she will not only play important roles

Bad Weather Holds Fleet In Port Unfavorable weather during part of this week has held the Cape May mackerel fleet in port, although fleet captains are ready to put to sea at the first sign of clearing weather. Until inclement weather disrupted their fishing, the mackerelmen had had an unusually good season with catches comparing favorably with those of former years. Largest individual catch to date was brought to port Sunday by the St. Ann, a Gloucester boat, which packed out 70,000 pounds of the spring fish. The St. Ann also holds the record in the fleet for having grossed the largest amount of money to date this season with a sum of approximately. Prices of mackerel are remaining high in the metropolitan markets, and fishermen are expecting continued successes when they resume their offshore operations.
