He must be. Of course, a man OF

expensive. Large appropriations are
necessary for the tour on which pro-

I recommend to him q week Of in
tense New York theater-going. Six
nights and three afternoons dedicated
to the quest of pleasure among the dra-
mas, should be enough to satisfy the
thirstiest explorer. I hand him, here
with, some plans upon which he may
, build a busy outing in the theater frnn
Monday to Saturday. They contain
items both grave and gay in appropriate
proportions.
Monday-"The Criminal Code" a

A Gieele Saves the Day.

YOU'D think the problem Of obtain
l. ing q giggling girl for role in mo-
ton pictures would be simple. Yet IT
is one of the most difficult ones faced
by Louis Cashier. Paramount director,
when selecting his cast for "Darkened
Rooms" the dialogue picture which pro-
vides Evelyn Brent with her first star
ring role.
The reason was that an ordinary gig
gle Just won't produce on the micro
phones without sounding like a buzz
saw, and when the studio casting ONCE
and Cashier started looking about for q
girl who could I'LL the role, they dis
covered that girls who could giggle with
the proper microphonic effect, and were
above the age Of IL, were few and far
between.
Fred Datig. head Of the casting de-
partment, was racking his memory in
an attempt to recall q giggly girl when
he thought Of Yvonne Howell. He re-
membered that she giggled when he
made out her listing card year ago.
A test revealed that she had lost none
of her native giggle and she was award
ed the role.

Yet Mrs. Fiske prefers it, and there she
is at the Granger, funny, diplomatic
Jury woman, perSuading her IL hos
tile associates to acquit lady accused
of murder. Her companions in the jury
room are buffoon in their familiar
clownings, but Mrs. Fiske, bright, re-
sourceful and with no conscience what
soever, continues to make her role brill

if the play is shoddy and the action

diately by A. L.t:rlanger and George C..
Tyler, with Walter Connolly in the title
role for its first performance early next
month, is q comedy by Howard Lindsay
and Bertrand Robinson, in which Ray
mond Hitchcock began q starring en-
gagement In Chicago last Spring. After
only three performances Mr.. Hitchcock
became seriously Ill and the engage
ment was closed to await his recovery.
That was six months ago, and the
actors physicians now report that 1t
will still be some time before he Is able
to return to the stage.
In this emergency Messrs. Erlanger
and Tyler have decided to make an
other production of the play for the
Eastern cities, with Mr.. Connolly in the
leading part AS soon as Mr.. Hitchcock
is able to do so he will rejoin the
comedy company in Chicago and later
be seen In other Western cities.

Getting the Laughs.
1DRopuc1Nd laughs is q busir

UDRoDUCING laughs is business
just like any other" says Clyde
Bates of the Bowery Burlesquers, at the
Gayety.
Sometimes I think a piece Of bust
ness or a joke will set the house in
roars, but when try it out it goes fiat.
Sometimes I have a piece of business
that will convulse the audience, all
though 1t was probably my first judg-
ment that there was not much humor
to it. I watch the audience like q
thermometer. If I find the laughs
don't come for something think funny,
out it goes and try something else.
After a few weeks playing we get q
smooth-running action, with the laughs
where they belong, and then We have
to work to keep it up-to-date, with new
lines and new business. We get these
from the newspapers, from listening to
conversations in the street cars, in the
theater Hobbies and other places where
people congregate.

Professional Amateurs.

ON the basis of q sequence which she
played in THE Saturday Night
Kid" Clara Bow thinks that 1t Is much
more dificult for professional actors to
appear like amateurs than 1t Ii for the
amateurs to appear like professionals.
In the sequence referred to Miss Bow
and her supporting players were de-
partment store employees participating
in a welfare fund pageant, Clara her
self being cast as an allegorical DUTY. F"
The press agent says that 1t took O
good many rehearsals to make the Hol-
lywood players look like rank amateurs.
He may be right, but according to good
many reviewers there Is certain sec
ton of this hardened public which be-
lieves that the main difference between
a good amateur and good professional
Is the pay envelope.

that in the talkies, the plays the thing,
