Mr.. WENRICH ON
THE GOOD OLD
DAYS
By WILLIAM MOORE.

The song writing game faint
what it ulster be-"
We have this startling bit Of
news from no less an authority
than Percy Wenrich, whose "Old
Grey Bonnet" has been sung in
all languages INCLUDING the Scan
dinavian.
Gone are the days when the
song writer, inspired by the COM
polling influence of pair OF
/ beautiful eyes or flagon of
Observation-Disclosures, would
seize his trusty pen and a sheaf
| of manuscript paper and moon,
coon and spoon" all over Tin Pan
Alley.
Them days is gone. We hope
not forever, but Percy has his

Wenrich, and his charming wife
and team-mate, Dolly Connolly,
are doing a song and dance act
at B. F. Keith's this week. It's
great. Brings, back the days

the makeup yesterday afternoon.
Where are the beautiful melo-
dies we used to love to write?
Where, I ask you? Gone up in
smoke-"blues" smoke, too. Now
all we hear is Debussyan ninths
and Stravaninskyan consecutive
fifths. Can't sing them, can you?
It's all wrong, boy, it's all wrong"
Tell him about Dobin," said
Dolly.
Poor Dobbin," Percy replied,
sadly. Even the old nag that
er in the old shay has been made
victim of jazz. The old fellow
is willin', but his SPAWN won't
let him. So I've had to rig out

THE GATE-POST
By Harold Phillips

Though it's late in the week
to do any attention calling,
something should be said about
two remarkable individual per-
formancese on the current play
bills.
They are those Of Adele Wind
sor and Hazelle Jennings in
Seventeen" at the Belasco,
both just this side of the PIN
feather stage and without
enough actual training to justify
two looks from a ninth assistant
casting director.
Most actors start their mara
thon toward glory at a mild
jog that can barely be seen
and is never heard. They break
in on small, straight parts.
Characters are too difficult.
Usually.
When Director Butterfield
handed "sides" to Misses Wind
sor and Jennings for "Seven-
teen" he probably said: Here
you are girls, and may God
have mercy on you both!"
Miss Jennings, with some ex-
perience as a chorister and not
any in speaking parts, takes
the role of "the baby talk girl"
a compete of business" and
outlandish enunciation. Miss
Windsor, whose stage experience
has been confined to being the
wife of Donald Gallaher (and
no one will thank me for tell
ing it) takes the kid sister role
which requires her to chart all
the imbecilities of a young lady
on the verge of growing-pains
And what happens Well,
here's what happens.
The kids are great!
Not that it has ever inter-
fered with my routine, but the
ladies are getting harder to
please.
Sophie Tucker is said to have
paid SIS daily to the Palace
Theater musicians last week to
have those easy-money boys
rise at each performance and
shout in unison:
Madame Sophie Tucker"
Sophie's kick out of that
must have been simply centrifu-
gal.
Nine. ALA Nazimova is plain
Nazimova now, from her own
choice, and between TYPOS, her
crushed and beaten director
means:
you'll pay dearly for dis
carding that moniker, l wonder"
And take the case of Anna.
@. Cast always in silk and
platinum roles, obliquing toward
the vampish, Miss Anna longs
so constantly to do simple, rural
maidens, that she is frequently
photographed, from left to right,
with
Bingham frock, pail, cow and

NAME THE MAN" AT PALACE

Name the Man" Sir Hall Gaines latest drama to be transferred to the screen, now being presented at the Palace tonight and Wednesday, takes rank with the best pictures Of The year.
 The story, adapted from "The Mas ter Of Man." is repletc with dramatic action. II carries one through the hearts Of it's people. It deals with [ both the lowly and the grcat-and the intermingling Of the two. And though the observer is totally unconscious of the photography,it is surpassing beau tiful.
 Although this is the first American picture 10 he made by Nicto' Seas tron, the Swedish director, he has de- livered a master stroke. He deals with realities-with real people whom everyone has met and known.

"NHIPPING BOSS"

There is such a thing as carrying realism too far, according to Lloyd Hughes who heads an all-star cast in the Beverly Productions picture, "The Whipping Boss" now playing at the Lyceuni theater, under the aus pices of Eddy Glover Post No. American Legion, directed by J. r. McGowan.
 The story calls for a thrilling res cue by Captain Dick Forrest. the hero portrayed by Hughes. of Jim Fairfax from a flaming stockadc which had been fired by the lumber C.. ID boss to burn Jim to death and thus remove all evidence Of the crim- finally brutal beating given him.
 As the oil-soaked stockade famed high, falling timber blocked the exit by which Hughes was supposed to drag Jim to safety. There was nothing for it but dash through the thick of the flames, which was decidedly not in the scenario. And with Jim in his arms Hughes made the dash. Both Hughes and Eddie Phillips, who plays, Jim. were badly singed and overcome by the smoke. but after three hours rest they were able to go on with their work.
 Next time I have to work in a burning building I'm going to be sure there are at least two exits" declares Hughes.
 All the time the camera was crank ing and the fire scenes are declared to be one of the greatest punches Of this picture. which deals with the en- forced contract labor in a Southern logging camp.
