|, EONA'S BACK
IN MELLOW
MYSTERY

Ieona Powers came back to
washington last night, leading
the National Theater Players in
a mad, merry, mellow mystery
play entitled THE Nightcap," by
Max MARGIN and Guy Bolton.
The little red.head's first en-.
trance upon the stage was greeted
by tidal wave Of welcoming
applause, which threatened to
hold up the show indefinitely.
There was a hand, too, for
Howard Miller, the new leading
man, Of whom more anon. Don I
be skeered. Mr.. Miller that
more anon stuff isn't anything
to. worry about.
YThe Nightcap' opened in a
quiet, orderly fashion. but swiftly
began to display symptoms Of
softening of the brain. This
alarming development progressed
SO rapidly that by the end Of tbs
first act everybody was waiting
for a couple of shots to ring OUT
and end the life OF the leading
man. But that wouldn't be good
form. Why kill aaleading man in
the first act?
The murder occurred in the
second act, wherein sense was
thrown to the winds and comic
coroner was introduced. During
the second-act irltermission, 80
per cent OF the audience had
switched the guilt from the butler
to the coroner. as the least likely
person to have committed the
, crime.
A great comedy team blossomed
forth, In the persons OF Edward
Arnold and Charles HampdeIl,
who kept the play from ever be-
coming serious.
The, last vestige of intelligence
sailed BY the board In the third
act. and the play went absolutely
cuckoo. Having reached this
stage, Messrs. MARGIN and Bolton
probably decided 1t was time TO
clear things up and get it over
with.
So, expeditiously and neatly.
the murder was solved to the sat.
isfaction OF all concerned, except
the dead man. And, even then,
sOilC SARSClGUss 10 see niKn come
prancing down the stairs of
Charlie Squires, gorgeous interior

1t was all d mistaken
Robert Brister. whose popular
ity is mounting weekly, is cast as
q policeman. In rather import

acts the role OF the mysterious

Billy Phelps are on stage q good
bit of the time. and Arthur
Rhodes makes 4 hit AS the corr
oner Robert Clear doubles, and
Johnny She1lhaas ages consider
ably to appear as the Rev. DR..
Forbes. That about takes care Of
the cast.
II you don't seems to be able
to make sense OF this play before
it's halfway through, don't blame
it on the cocktails. It's just Mr..
MARGIN and his friend Bolton hav.

'HAML ET' MAY
BE DONE AS
II ALIKE

Talking pictures will at last give
Clarence Brown an opportunity to
accomplish something he has
wanted to do for some years.
Ever since the success on the
stage three seasons ago 81 Ham.
let, ii modern clothes Brown has
wanted TO transfer II To the screen.
The reason he has hesitated doing
1t Is because he realized Hamlet
as Is: Ii not what IL called screen
material, without mass Of sub
titles. Talking characters will take.
away this serious drawback.
Three pictures have been deter
mined so far for the weilknown
directors schedule ct the Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer studio. He hopes.
to follow these with the modern
version OF Hamlet
Needless for me to state, says
Brown. I. Hamlet Is one Of the
greatest stories ever written. But
its philosophy and power can not
be transferred to the screen
silently Without the voice II
would be doomed to failure.
Hamlet remains Hamlet no
matter how 1t be played. 1t Is part
OF the imagination Of every person.
The stories Of hacks must be-.
played according to definite. fixed
standards OF time and place. The
stories OF genious may be played
in any manner. with no time limit.
They survive out of their very
deathlessness. Playing Hamlet In.
the dress and manner Of today is.
quite as justifiable as playing 81
