Therefore only New Workers and visit
ors to New York from other cities will

The scenes of the play are laid in
hell, with Rex Infernis and his retinue
witnessing an experiment in the cor
ruption of hitherto pure human soul.
That the one spark of good in every

projection room to see 1t.
when we started to show the pic
ture we first showed President Coolidge
and Lindbergh's reception in Washing
ton. Then we put on his own picture.
He said: I can do better than that.
I will learn speech in English ana
will deliver it for you.
He did so, and then asked how
liked it. I replied that while the text
of the talk was fine his pronunciation
of some English words was bad. He
was not in the least offended by my
criticism. Apparently he was glad to
get it. I suggested that he put on the
head phones and listen in our ampE-
fiers while I read his speech to him.
He did this, then said he was pre-
pared to go ahead.
He delivered the speech and re-
peated it several times. Then asking,
rs my work finished for the day?' he
smiled, and walked away"
The King of England also has been
photographed by Movietone, as he was
speaking at the dedication of bridge,
Mr. Connolly said. It was the Kings
first speech in four years-except the
addresses at the opening OF Parliament
and the second time the monarch S
voice had been recorded. The earlier
instance was by phonograph record,
made only for the archives.
Three Movietones have been taken OF
the Prince of Wales, but incidentally
he is very hard subject" Mr.. Con-
molly added
Evening star., 1928-11-25

THE art of persuading European
- celebrities to talk to America via
Movietone has many different phases.
European celebrities differ in their
customs, manners and tastes. What
might lead one unblushing to the
camera would drive another into al
most permanent retirement. A mix
ture of diplomacy and brazen nerve is
necessary to coax them out OF their
lairs and into the brighter light OF the
newsreel world.
The head, or European director, of
the Fox Movietone organization is Jack
S. Connolly, a Washingtonian. Mr..
Connolly, who used to be newspaper
man, and was formerly with Will II.
Hays, has offices in various parts OF the
Old World. 1t is he who decides what
steps are necessary to urge, for instance,
such shy persons as George Bernard
Shaw forward. His experiences in the
methods of persuasion have been vari-
Gus.
1T took almost a year to get that
talk from Shaw" Mr.. Connolly says.
IT first wrote him letter, but he said
it would be wasting his time to go any
further I wrote him another letter,
and then tried several roundabout
methods Finally he sent me post
caro- saying tfaL II we SHOWeu nIIH INC
picture before releasing it he would
talk for US. The card was marked
Personal and CONFIDENTIAL
we went to Shaw's home the day
the picture was to be taken, and the
first thing he did was to invite all the
cameramen to tea. Then he posed and
talked for US When the film was de-
veloped we showed it to him. He
thought it fine-so good, in fact, that
he refused to do another lest it spoil
the effect of the first"
Another interesting figure Mr.. Con-
molly approached in his European activ-
tiles is Premier Mussolini of Italy
When one first meets Mussolini one
is impressed with his vitality, his ag-
gressiveness, his forcefulnesS and his
power" Mr.. Connolly says.
I had an opportunity to study him
at very close range when we made a
movietone record of him, for after a
great deal of diplomatic re-pulling
he agreed to make speech for us to
the American people, as well as to the
Italians in America. He did not even
memorize the speech but read it from
two sheets of paper.
I'VE had promised him that as soon
as We had the speech developed we
would show it to him. When we got

"Somethine to Wear.

SOMETHING different" to wear for
- an afternoon tea given in the Win
ter garden of a California home, which
is very little different from the Summer
garden of the same home, offers a prob
lem difficult to decide, especially In
HOLLYWOOD, where nothing is new for
more than a week at a time.
Experienced travellers of Hollywood
Boulevard become jaded with sights OF
the unusual that have become common
place, so, wherever film folk are gath
cred, one may look to see at least one
real novelty that is also smart.
Thelma Todd, featured player In First
National pictures, recently solved the
problem of something to wear" In
novel manner when she appeared at an
al fresco tea wearing bolero made OF
fresh, fragrant violets over chiffon
frock of graduated tones in rose ana
gold. Her tight fitting hat was OF Sc

HILLS INDOOR CIRCUS.

A Winter time circus will be one OF
Washington's attractions, starting sun
day might, December 2, when Will Hill,
international Snowman, will bring MS
show to the President Theater.
Having devoted most of his life TO
the training of animals, Hill presents
an attraction which is said to be sec
ond, to none in its unique line. His
animals have performed in rings of all
most every country of the world and
have been enjoyed by children In wood
en- shoes with the same enthusiasm as
that evinced by the youngsters OF Am
erica'S largest cities,
His show also includes troupeS, trap
ese artists, clowns and acrobats, which
have been cleaned from the four
corners of the earth, picked up here
and. there as they have attracted the
attention of Hill. Added to these regu-
lar features are said to be many novel;
ties and surprises.
Every effort is being made by the
company to create as much OF the
atmosphere connected with circuses as
possible from the pink lemonade to
the peanuts and popcorn, with the
added advantage of seeing everything
from a well-upholstered seat in the
auditorium of a theater, rather than
the hard, backless boards OF a grand
stand.

Up From the City Streets.

Out of the crowded, common, noisy
~ streets of the New York GHETTO
from which noted leaders OF new
York life rose came Eddie Cantor, the
highest salaried comedian on the stage
TODAY and the star of Florenz Ziegfeld's
"Whoopee."
Eddie Cantor is young man TO Whom
much credit may be given. He declares
he used to be a 'loafer, which might be
elegantly termed a gentleman without
ambition. One evening burlesque
show in his neighborhood put on an
amateur night" Eddie tried his luck.
and with his native magnetism and re-
markable personality drew his audience
to him like the well known bee gathers
honey. The boy then became a singing
waiter in q Coney Island restaurant. He
liked to sing and he liked TO eat; SO
Mr. Cantor doesn't take too much credlt
for making a bowling success at that
job
The star bridged the gap>from Coney
Island to Broadway m few years and
his first appearance in Canary Cot
tage" proved that the gods had slipped
a silver spoon into his mouth some
where en- route. Eddie has enthusiasm
and speed, natural gifts that have stood
by him. When Lady l. : looked on
him, Mr.. Cantor looked for lucky
lady. He found the ideal of his dreams
in a girl he went to school with, and
she is now Mrs. Cantor.
Eddie, according to his friends, never
forgets, and on the night of his tri-
umph, when the greenbacks slipped
from his bulging pay envelope, he wept
for the little grandmother who strug-
gled to bring him up and didn't live to
| see him succeed.
| When, as a child, the comedian was
sent to camp for a weeks respite from
the city streets torturing sun, he came
back with memories of green grass and
resolve to work toward helping poor
children know that there is another
world besides Tenth avenue.

Finds It Difficult.

EVA Won BERNE, Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayors newest screen find, who
plays a leading feminine role in her
first motion picture, declares that the
most difficult thing she has yet found in
screen acting is to learn not to act,
Miss Won Berne arrived in Los An
Qeles from Vienna and "a hours later
was playing the feminine lead in John
Gilbert's picture, "The Masks OF the
Devil"
Actresses are supposed to act" said
the little viennese player, "and yet the
most difficult thing is to remember not

Director Victor Seastrom, your lover is

to feel heartbroken and then all tight

"'Stop the camera says Mr.. Sea-
strom. Eva, you are acting. You must
feel it but not show it too much.
"And that" says Miss Won Berne,
"is the hardest thing to learn about
screen playing. Emotion must lie felt,
but not expressed too much"

RETH MERRILL, whose performance

her to stardom in single season. has

Notwithstanding the great draft upon
his time and attention demanded by
the new Lenore Uric play, Nina" !"
Belascos version of Ferenc Molnar's
THE Red Mill" the great theatrical
master has been devoting his nights to
Merrill.
1t is a tale Of Virginia City, Nevada,
when as a mining camp 1t was known
as Hell with the blower on"
During those days, David Belasco, as
youthful actor, played important roles
with the Piper Stock Co, in Virginia
City, and, 1t is explained, many of the
scenes of the play for Miss Merrill will
be reproductions of Mr.. Belasco's own
experiences during those hectic days.

CTAGE history is in the making in
New York these days, and from David
Belascos offices in New York comes

New York theatrical folk are waiting

The Belasco Theatre has been dark
for five weeks and rumors have been
flying about the Rialto that "Belasco
is preparing the surprise OF his Ca
reer."
The stage setting for the new play
is all St&el-,-a vast, weighty mechanism
which extends through the three di-
mensions of the stage, out through the
proscenium and laps over into the au-
ditorium proper. To make this pos

"Often there is a discussion as to

the types that audiences prefer. In my
opinion, an interesting personality, face
and voice are just as appealing today
as Eve was to Adam-one can say no
more than that, and no less. Human
emotions remain the same; as it was

A graduate of Vassar and a former
pupil of the famous French actress,
Yvette Guilbert, Miss Thompson is her
self a dramatist of skill and power, with
remarkable grace and charm. Both IN
this country and in England she has
met with success in the presentation Of
fascinating legends and ballads Of olden
times.
Dressed in the stately robes OF
Guinevere, Elaine or Marie of France,
she brings to her audience the mediae-
val spirit, and the heroines Of old 1--we
again the beautiful phrases OF Mallory
and the early poets. Then, at once,
she is back as Rumanian peasant or
a Piedmontese, telling tales vivid and
gay, impudent and wistful, but always
genuine and charming.
The farcical comedy, AN Ehectual
Cure" and the melodrama, THE Letter
of Introduction, also enter into her
varied and unusual program.
Single tickets may be had at popu-
lar prices at the Franklin Administra-

George c. Tyler will bring Jim the
Penman," Sir Charles Young's famous
old melodrama, to the National Thea
ter December 10. The cast is another
Tyler collection of famous names, head
ed by William Faversham, Cecilia Lof-
tus and Jacob Ben-Ami, who formed
the backbone of his revival of Sardou's
Diplomacy" last season. Others are
Reginald Mason Vernon Steele, Cecile
Dixon, Lawrance D'Orsay, Edward
Emery, Fuller MelliSh, Frank Hearn,
Helen Lowell and Marguerite st. John.
".Jjn the Penman" may be considered
the ancestor of all the plays about
criminals which have appeared in the
theater since its day. The fact that Its
central figure was forger initiated
against it in the minds Of managers
and actors until its production in an
emergency at the old Madison Square
Theater in New York, where 1t sur
prised management and cast by run
ming for over year.
Its author, Sir Charles Young. was a
noted writer of thrillerS in the days OF
bicycles ana mustache cups. Its ap-
pearance in London and in tryout in
Chicago had both been far from en-
couraging.
William A. Brady revived 1t success
fully for the American people in New
York In 1910, the last time 1t has been
seen on this side of the Atlantic, and
it had a successful run at the Haymar-
ket Theater in London three years later.
