day afternoon when Daley
PaskTnan, radio and night club
pioneer, accompanied By his
Ministries, invested their spare
time between performances at.
the Earle Theater, to entertain
the war veterans. Though pri-
rnarily for the sick and wounded,
there was, no obvious shortage
Of nurses and physicians during
the performance. Routine min
strelsy, abetted with humor
from Nate Busby, was inter-
spersed with wartime har-
monies. Bill Ewing did the
chaperonage from the Earle to

Personally / think the innoya-
tion would be less popular here
than 4 novelty in the other ex-s
trenle which Earle Dorsey once
proposed. This latter sugges-
ton was that theater-goers be
given the same latitude in ex-
pressing their feelings as the
baseball bleacherite.
An incredibly bad performance
would be met with cries Of

stalls. Poor stagecraft could

BY cries OF "You Big Bum. /"
An exceptional piece Of acting
would be met with Babe Ruth

his hat as signal of apprecia-
ton.

reached. Its experiments have

III the studio, but in their illconl-
piete stage none nf them were
SHOWN publicly. Now they are
ready.
Talking pictures In particular
have been reported as something
of bugabo0 to Hollywood, be-
cause many players have untried
voices. The Paramount group OF
stars and featured players is I'M
usually fortunate in this respect.
Most Of them have had stage exs
perience. and the demands of the
new art will mean opportunity
rather than limitation for them.
Heading the announcement Of
Paramount,s new program Is 4
group of special productions
which were produced on an out

scale. First comes Wings, the
epic OF the air, already shown
In New York and some OF the
