MARY MARTIN SEES
HERSELF IN MOVIES

Mary Martin, who plays tho role of
Margaret in the big William Fox pic
ture, THE Heart Of n Lion" which will
be the principal attraction at the Stanley
Theatre all this week, always goes to
the theatres WHICH first slow her photo
plays, TO see for herself how her work
gets over on tho screen.
When one of her former Fox successes
opened at the New York house Miss
Martin was in the audience. At her
first entrance on the screen, she heard
young girl beside her say to another
girl.
"Oh, isn't she sweet?"
The companion agreed. Then, through
out the action OF the picture. the giddy
young things continued to praise Miss
Martin.
Let Miss Martin continue the story:
Both girls We're so adorably en-
thusiastic and extravagant in their out
bursts that | could not resist an i'm,
pulse. So I leaned over and said very
quietly.
"I thank YOU.
"Of course. they were startled for the
moment. Then l laughed, and they
recognized me. And we all three started
in chatting.

mo about the picture game. but /. too,
was game and answered every one"

PERENNIAL DOUBLE
BILL FOR THE OPERA
"Cavalleria" and "Pagliacci"
to Be Sung at Metropoli-
tan Tuesday
ANTI-HOLIDAY CONCERTS

Tho operatic partnership of "Caval-
leria Rusticana" and II -Pagliacci."
which will be tho bill at the Metropolitan
on Tuesday night. is almost as indis-
soluble as the literary firm of Beaumont
and Fletcher. An occasional divorce Is
invariably followed by reconciliation
and reunion. 'LOracolo" was linked up
with one of the famous pair last season
and back in the Hammerstein days La
Navarraise" sometimes replaced either
"Cavalleria' or "Pagliacci' in q double
bill. But good one-act operas are rare
and the juXtaposition of the two most
representative works of Pietro Mascagni
and Ruggiero Leoncavallo is likely to
endure for many seasons to come.
These two little operas are closely
associated with the musical history Of
Philadelphia "Cavalleria" had it's
American premiere here at the Grand
Opera House under the baton Of Gustav
Hinrichs and "Pagliacci' was given In
the same theatre and under the same
management almost Immediately after
its first performance in New York.
The popularity of these hot.blooded
music dramas is unmitigated by time
"Pagliaccf' seems just now to be n shade
more popular than its companion. al
though the Mascagni work Is somewhat
fresher in inspiration. Leoncavallo owes
a debt Of gratitude to Enrico Caruso.
The pubiic's favorite tenor has mado his
Canio n standard operatic figure. It's

This lyrico-dramatic portrait will be
disclosed here in "Pagliacci'' on Tuesday.

descriptive music of Tonic and Mr.. Iau-

The "Cavalleria" will reveal for the first
time here the admirable Anglo o-American
singer. Florence Easton, in the role of
Santuzza. This artist will be remem-
