fast; and theater goers are ready to
greet them according to their merits,
as indicated at the boX-offices.
There is one conclusion, only, to
reach in this connection: the pro-
ducers, themselves, are to blame for
bad business. And the carpers are
the producers of the failures.
Our Mutual theaters, in every city,
have never done such large buSi-
ness as they are doing this season.

saying, give the public what they

GOOD NEWS" TO
RE SEEN HERE

49, 0A@AlAN
Good News the Schwab and
Mandel musical play with the back
ground of a western co-educational
college coming to the English start
ing Monday, Feb. 25, has been one
of the greatest boX-office record
breakers OF recent years.
1t ran for nearly two years in
New York City, and has been a
tremendous hit wherever presented.
The story is collegiate to the nth
degree.
All the familiar types of small
town college are there. They have
them at every jerkwater institu-
ton. The old folks know all the
types in the old days when they
went to college and the young ones
can identify them all from their
classmates of today.
The appeal of such a show as
Good News is univerSal-it has
much Of the same appeal as George
AIDES famous play, The College
WiG5T," but Good News is a
snappie- and more up-tc-the
minute production.
Laurence Schwab and B. G. De-
Sylvia wrote the book. Lew Brown
contributed the lyrics, Ray Hend-
erSon furnished the music, and
Bobby Connolly arranged the
dances. A combination hard to
beat.
Each caught the spirit of youth
that the book or idea called for
the spirit of youth and romance
Of college days. Schwab wrote with
a keen eye to the humorous value
Of college character types.
The cast includes: VIII Ahern,
Max Hoffman, Jr., Margaret Breen,
Jerry DowneS, Peggy Bernier. Jo-
Seph Allen. Katharine Morris. Doro-
thea James, Barry Walsh, George
Schiller, Edwin Michaels, Ralph
Sanford. Gene Sheerin. John Nc
Doneli, George Olsen's famous
band. and the chorus Of fifty fapper
freShieS.

The poet, DR.. Smart shows, came
OF great and ancient lineage on his
mothers side. The founders of the
Ardens was a Saxon noble of the
name of Turchill, who had large
landed estate at Arden. Warwick
shire, and lived in the country town.
Making his peace with the con-
queror, he had his property con-
firrned to him, was duly entered in
Domesday Book and, after Norman
fashion, assumed a territorial sur
name. From this Turchill Arden
descended Mary Arden, Shakes
peare's mother.
In the time of Henry III a Sir
Thomas Arden took up arms under
Simon de Montfort, was with him
debates at Eyersham, taken priS-
onel and ranSomed by the sacrifice
OF his lands. Later these acres we're
handed back.
About 200 years later a Robert
Arden found himself in sympathy
with the White Rose and, being
captured, was beheaded for high
treason by the LancaStrians in 1452.
Again the Arden forest lands were
confiscated and then again restored
by the Yorkist triumph.
Walter Arden, who thus received
them back from Edward ", mar
ried Eleanor, daughter of John
Hampden. whose descendant and
namesake led the early opposition
in the Long Parliament and died
on Chalgrove field.
Eleanor's son. John, became es-
quire of the body to Hen. = his
younger brother, Thomas, settled at
Wilmcote and Smithfield and the
latter's great-grandSon through
Robert ArCen (son) and Mary and
John Shakespeare Of Smithfield,
was the poet.
Ancestry, therefore, as DR.. Smart
concludes, had much to which the
miracle of genius was indebted.
The story of the Ignorant clod-
hopper" is nonsense, as are other
stories of the kind, and each one is
similarly disposed of. The truth
has probably never been so clearly
put before.

Will Have Vamp

1.-The Collegians" are to have a
vamp. In none of the three pre-
ceding series has there been such
person, but in their senior year
and with the introduction of sound
and dialogue, Carl Laemnlle Jr. feels
that this element would not be out
of place. Dixie Day is the name
of the vamp.
