FOX PRESENTS
FINE STAGE
PROGRAM

The Fox election week bill is
marked by rather unusual con-
trast in that the stage presenta-
tons, for true entertainment
value, far surpass the feature
picture. Dry Martini, even with
the aid Of q half-dozen stars. was
not made with a view to attract
ing box-office receipts.
The story Of DRY Martini" Is
plotless except for q few spots
wherein . sycophantic father
(played by Albert CRAM lifts his
Characterization up . bit with
Aristophanean delineations. And
it is not laughable comedy at
that. The trend OF the story il
that of q high.living parent who
seeks to drown his bitterness over
an unsuccessful marriage by
playing Paris with q vengeance.
After years spent in the French
capital the ex.wife sends their
daughter MARY Astor) along to
the cast off husband for q vaca-
ton. The child, reeking with a
jazzy temperament. seeks new
thrills in Paris and finds few.
Included il a half-try at marriage
with q French artist. Then q
friend Matt Moore) OF the father
steps In and saves the girl from
disgrace only to wed her himself.
They set sail for New York and
the yarn ends with the father
imbibing a DRY Martini" at
French bar.
The stage show permits Martha
Vaughn to trill several favorite
melodies which are pleasantly re.
ceived. Earl and Bell return
with Hawaiian guitars and win
new customers with the instru-
ments and vocal interpretations;
Maxine and Lee give an unusually
good account OF themselves
Through the terpischore and are
followed by smith and Hadley in
an acrobatic dance very much
their own. Ne Wong, a Chinese
jazz singer. MARBLES two blues
numbers and Mimi Rollins wins
the audience with her charm and
melodious voice. Added to this
are the IS Fox Tillerettes whose
dancing is a great relief from
the average mass stepping.

C.. Frederick Clark, OrcneSLra
director at Keith's Theater, has
accepted a promotion to the con-
ductor's desk at the big Keith
Albee-Orpheum Theater in Bos-
ton.
Today Freddy Clark will tap
with his baton and rally the
Keith Boston musicians for the
matinee overture. He will guide
4 25-piece band in q theater
which seats $500 and is one
of the most successful pop
houses in the Keith circuit.
Washington will miss Freddy
Clark. He has been fixture
at the. Fifteenth Street theater
for many seasons and knows
and IS known to every regular
patron Of vaudeville. His ac-
quaintancc and popularity with
performers is something to be
envied.
Al hasty departure prevented
Mr.. Clark from making extended
adieus. Accordingly he has
asked that this column convey
to the patrons Of Keith's Thea
ter and his numerous friends
an au revoir. II can't leave the
finest city in the world and the
finest people in the world with
out some genuine pangs of re-
gret," he says. II should love
to thank personally every one
who has made my Washington
association such q pleasant in
terlude in a musical journey.
However, should fate direct the
footsteps Of any of these loyal
friends to the vicinity of Wash
ington and Essex Streets, Bos-
ton, tell them to drop in for
auld lang syne and reunion

That polished phrase maker
and distinguished critic of the
drama, Gilbert Gabriel, today
assumes the desk on the New
York American, made vacant
by the passing Of Alan Dale.
Readers Of the New York
American may look forward TO
some sn1ooth-flowing, sparkling
comment and just appraisal Of
the new dramatic attractions.
For some seasons he has been
associated with the New York
Sun and his writings on the
fhaater are a1so familiar tn

zines. AZ one who has followed
with some regularity the out

several seasons, would not
even hesitate in casting . first
