De Wolf Hopper at the Arizona


 Casey at the Bat" the De Wolf Hopper comedy to be seen at the Ari- zona theater, Tuesday and Wednes day, is based on the famous baseball poem. Casey at the Bat" written more than a quarter of century ago, printed originally in comparatively obscure newspaper, reprinted thOus- ands of times in other newspapers and in magazines. and recited times with out number by Hopper. as a curtain speech, an after dinner stunt, or for the entertainment of importunate friends.
 q knew it would happen, said Hop per. in discussing the picture while it was being made. Casey has pursued me down the years. 1 adopted him so many years ago that l don't like to think about it, and I have never been able to escape. He is my Old Man of the Sea. I have to carry him along, whether I want to or not I long ago ceased to have any desire to recite Casey at the Bat I don't want to. But 1 have to. There's no escape. l am the man who recites Casey at the Bat and I have to do it, that's all.
 "So l was not bit surprised when Triangle informed me that I was to do Casey in picture. It had to come. l assented at once, because I would have had to, sooner or later. 1 don't mean that there was really any un- willingness on my part. Making Casey is the most fun I have had in the pictures, and more fun than 1 ever had on the stage. I played ball. hit a home run yesterday-a real one. Say, it was sport!
 And listeni I can't recite Casey at the Bat in the picture They can't make me, because it can't be done That's the greatest joy of all-not to have to open my head, not to say a | blamed word; just to put on Casey's uniform and play ball, and not recitel Gee. I'm happy

How in later years, when he inherited the title and estates of his grandfather. the fashionable stratum of society is startled by a series of daring thefts, his social secretary kills the Countess Rossi, his wife who deserted him in former years. and later kills himself. declaring in his dying words that he committed the mystifying thefts, is all exceedingly portrayed in his melo- drama in which is interspersed one of the sweetest romances ever filmed.
