The Washington times., 1928-11-07

A communique from Earl
Carroll conveys the news that
he has written a new musical
comedy, yet unnamed, will place
it into production at once and
will open in Washington. The
week of January 5 is fixed for
the premiere at the National
Theater. George Bagby and G.
Romili, names new to musical
comedy, have provided the tunes
which are said to be more inn
posing than the requirements
for the average girl and tune
show.
But let Mr.. CAROLS mimeo-
graph tell the-rest of the story:
1t is costume play of the
eighteenth century, the locale of
which is Venice, Italy. 1t is in
two acts, 10 scenes in each
act and requires the services
of 80 men and 20 girls. 1t
will be an elaborate extrava-
CANA costing in the neighbor-
hood of quarter of a million
dollars to produce.
The cast selections haven't
as yet been released by Mr.. Car
roll, this only definite state
ment being that he is after the
services Of an operate star.
Among those who have been
approached are CALI Curci,
Mary Garden, Rosa Ponselle,
Marion Talley and Geraldine
Farrar. Mr.. Carroll is willing
to pay any Of the named $4,000
for 10 minutes Of singing. The
only thing that has prevented
any of the aforementioned from
accepting this offer is, the fact
that they are tied up with
previous contracts.
.'The producer of the Vanities'
IS again seeking the services of
the most beautiful girls in the
world for his unnamed musical
comedy. Every Tuesday and
Thursday mornings he is hold
ing additions upon the stage
Of the Earl Carroll in an effort
to find new beautiful faces.
Previous stage experience is not
necessary. Mr.. Carroll will
again pay the highest salaries
ever paid to chorus girls. The
minimum salary is to be SIS a

VITAPHONE IS
WAY OUT
FRONT

The generation just going TO
housekeeping is the first that does
not remember when there were
no moving picture theaters. In
two generations production, direc-
ton and photography achieved
perfection. Something new was
necessary to hold the vast audi
ences which had been created. 1t
must satisfy the paying public.
Men in the producing and ex.
hibiting field tackled the prob
lem.
Some tried colored films to give
gerater perspective and realty;
"prologues'' brought in the human
equation; various types OF shows
were used to diversity the en-
tertainment including enormous
orchestras in the large theaters.
All this because the public had
become film wise.
At the Western Electric Com.
pany and Bell Telephone labora-
tories, scientists were working on
other problems and, as a by
product, united speech and pic
lures. 1t was not perfect
product, but excited their imagi-
nation.
After a time Warner Brothers,
who had investigated every device
OF the kind, attended a demoustra-
ton. They saw in the crude ma
chine a chance to solve the proba
lem they faced. Immediately they
engaged to join the other COM
panies in its development. Vita
phone was the result.
Many difficulties were en-
countered and overcome before
Vitaphone was ready for the pub
lie, The first program began with
a speech by Will FL Hays and in.
cluded continuous music with the
feature, songs by Metropolitan
opera stars and other numbers.
The many intricacies of production
were gradually solved and War
ner Brothers injected more and
more dialogue into each new fea-
ture.
Eventually the Warner Broth
ers Hollywood studio turned out
a feature with complete speech
and effects 1t was presented in
New York with no unusual adj
vertising or "ballyhoo." A sensa-
tfonal success resulted On that
occasion it was demonstrated that
Vitaphone had come to stay and
that Warner Brothers in per.
fecting production had gone a
long way ahead.
They recognize that there is
work vet to be done bur the ex-
perience and knowledge gained in
actually perfecting this new
media of entertainment ASSUMES
further advances. Even now
Vitaphone is providing feature
picture without a caption or title,
the entire entertainment being
given with words and music and
pictures.

"In the rehearsal period some
weeks ago Miss Anghn suffered
a severe injury to her foot in
a motor-car accident. Her re-
hearsalsD were carried on with
difficulty and sh0 expressed the
wish at that time to be relieved
of responsibility for Lady Mac

fort, however, and went through

exceedingly arduous rehearsals
but also of the terrific strain
of the opening night in Phila-
delphia.

Tyler that / would remain with
his company until he could find
some one to take my place, If
that were necessary. He has
been fortunate enough to secure
the services Of Miss Florence
Reed, and am withdrawing.
1t is only half secret that
to play Lady Macbeth has long
been one Of Miss Reeds ambi-
tions. Whether or not she de-
cides to cast the traditional
methods Of playing the role to
the winds, she can be thor
oughly relied upon to give a
very interesting performance as
that classic and bewildered lady.
A new Somerset Vaughan
play produced by Gilbert Miller
IS certain to bring out select
audience at the Belasco Theater
on next Monday night. "Of
"The Sacred Flame" this pre-
liminary information is an-
nounced: it is said to tell the
story of crippled aviator who
loses his wife to another man.
Finding it out, he conspires
with his mother to do away
with himself. Clare Eame's role
in the play-the lchief lone--is
that of a nurse.
