TACK DANIELSON, the song writer,

tired of being called Mr.. Fannie Hurst"

studio.

En- route he converses in a friendly
manner with the conductor and porter,
both of whom prove to be singularly
charming fellows. But 1t would be I'M
fair to give away all of the plot.
Suffice it to say that Marc Connolly
may be hailed as a great discovery. for

COX MOvietOne FOllies

THE consummation of the battle royal
Il between the legitimate stage and
the theater of the silent screen Is SAID
to be upon us in the form of the Viii
liam Fox Movietone Follies OF 1929,
soon to make its advent in Washing
ton, following its New York premier,
The stage put the screen to the
inconvenience of coming to 1t Tor
attractions and technique. and the re-
suits of the visit, We are told, are en-
bodied in Mr.. FoX's present encroach-
ment upon the domain OF Florenz lieg-
field. Here, it is claimed, the 1nvestlga-
tor will perceive the new technique
made possible by the endowment of the
screen with vocal and instrumental abll-
tiles that heretofore have been confined
exclusively to the stage and the con-
cert hall
Mr.. Fox is nothing if not ambitious
and daring and, what Is more to the
point, he is willing to spend money ike
a reckless sailor to achieve an end that,
in his opinion. justifies it. This is illus
trated in his Follies production, which,
it is claimed, cost as much to make as
"l5 New York musical shows" In TINS
lavish expenditure of money Mr.. Fox
indulgeS no QualmS or fears, Tor ne
feels that his patrons near and lar, ana
they number millions and then millions,
have never failed to SHOW a perlecC
willingness to patronize $40 show Tor
the price of movie.
And the Fox Movietone Follies pro-
duction, the first in sound to be mace
of a New York revue will have not only
all the charms and the illusions OF the
most popular of stage revues, it is an
nounced, but real movie story OF ro-
nance as well, and "for good measure
two of its sequences will be in multi
color" SO that, interested movie pa
tron, there will be both a play and a
magnificent revue combined-and all
for the popular price Of admission TO
your favorite movie palace.
In assembling the personnel for his
big show Mr.. Fox, 1t Is announced, has
blended the talents from tried materials
of both the stage and the screen, par
ticularly emphasizing youth in his selec-
tions, especially for his ballet girls:
ponies, chorus men and principals. "
The story that runs through the pro-
