Why Not The Laughing

4 PRESS agents story for the week
= explains with much adroitness
that the title of Ethel Barrymore s
play, The Laughing Lady" selected
by Alfred Sutro, the playwright, was
not usable when the play was adapt
ed to the screen because "it was
never particularly apt and made no
attempt to catch the popular inaS
ination''--in fact, rather a handicap
than otherwise when the heavy ex
pense of producing the picture was
concerned
while the highly discriminating
classes Of New York and other Amer
lean cities would recognize The
Laughing Lady as a Barrymore We
hicle, there we're thousands of 'po-
tential patrons who had never heard
of the play" Instead, therefore, of
calling it The Laughing Lady" the
movie producer thought it wiser to
call it "a Society Scandal
