few days ago when she called as did
q number of others TO express their
gratitude for the wonderful health

Continuing with her statement she
said: II never grow tired of telling

never used a medicine like it before

Fleeing Appearances.

HARPO MARX is the one player In
l. u talking pictures who IS said to be
fearless before the microphone, because,
as has been his habit during his past
IL years on the stage, he never says
anything. Harpo is the red wigged unit
of the four Marx brothers who made
their stage play, The Cocoanuts," into
moving picture.
Harpo is amused by the fact that his
first real part on the screen came after
it had become audible. He relates the
story of his previous screen experience
when he appeared, for a f1eeting mo-
ment, in TOO Many Kisses" with Rich
ard Dix.
I'D been coming over here to work
and telling all my friends that I was

quite excited the night the picture
opened. took everybody knew down
to see me on the screen.
But it seems the cutters had been
at work on the film, and they hadn't
figured my acting amounted to much.

reels. Then short flash Of me, looking

ONCE only did serious trouble arise
among the hundreds of wild
animals used in the filming of "Noah's
Ark" During that time portion OF
the studio was in an uproar and sew
eral casualties among the denizens OF
the wilds resulted.
A brace of crocodiles appeared to be
instigators of the near-riot. Breaking
loose, they mixed in the middle of the
scene being filmed in the interior of the
Ark Barring fang and talon, believing
screeching and roaring, elephants, lions
tigers and scores of smaller members
of the animal cast Joined the fray.
When the crocodiles were finally
pried apart by a dozen assistant direc-
tors, prop men and animal trainers, the
combatantS were found to have
damaged each other considerably.
half hour was consumed in ccralling q

acquired ports of safety. A huge

Stage Notes

HAVING twice announced the closing
of Strange Interlude," the TheateT
Guild appears to find the public too
much interested in 1t to allow its final
curtain in New York. The engagement
has been extended for a final" two
weeks. If 1t actually closes on June Is
it will have played 432 performances.
Charles Hopkins has returned to New
York from London with the promise
of play by A. A. Milne next season:

adorns the present revival.

was over $45, 900, which meant SELL

Also in Boston. Blanche Yurka, whose
Wild Duck" was seen in Washington
some weeks back and Eva lie Caffeine
with her Civic Repertory Group, have
departed after good business for TWO
and three weeks respectively.
Cincinnati last week, through the
efforts of the Stuart Walker company:
saw the first American performance OF
Death Takes a Holiday" an Italian
play by Alberto Casella. 1t was we'll
reviewed. The dramatist inverted, in
a sense, the theme set forth in Maeter-
linck's Blue Bird" the symbolism here
being that death, arch destroyer OF
mortals, believing that all is illusion,
takes a holiday on earth to discover
what is greater than death. He fnds
out that wither and shrink and fade
before death except the one to whom
love is transcendant, for love, is
greater than illusion, and stronger than
death"
In London St John Ervine will have

Stepping Stones.

IT was Tennyson who wrote of men
l. rising on stepping stones of their
dead selves to higher things" The
movies have gone him one better and
are now rising on stepping stones of the
other fellow, that other fellow being the
radio, their mortal enemy of a few
years back.
Even now one can hear the echo of
the plant that the radio threatened
the undoing of the movie by keeping its
audiences at home instead of permit
ting them to come to the movie palaces.
But now, also, the radio lstener-in may
hear a broadcast of his or her favorite
movie, or its woodworking star, and
movie mechanical geniuses are rapidly
progressing in the new art of bringing
the pictures themselves over the air and
into the home.
Unable to abate the radio, the movie
has harnessed it to movie uses, and
First National-Vitaphone studios have
lMecently installed a permanent radio
pet that will both receive and broadcast.

TT is popularity supposed that movie
critic is in position to know all
the latest scandal and gossip of
i Hollywood. Every one of us who
is dedicated to the humble task of
reviewing events on the screen is be-
ieved to be sort Of father confessor
for the film stars. Into our ears are
whispered the most sacred secrets, the
most personal yearnings Of Corinne
Griffith, Greta Carlo. Alice White, VII
ma Banky, Clara Bow, Lupe Velez and
other ladies.
We critics, therefore, are apt to be
envied, which is gratifying. 1t is al
ways pleasant for a toiler to realize
that his job is considered highly de-
sirable one, even though he himself does
not share that belief But if we are
envied, we are also embarrassed. People
will ask us questions, and if we can't
furnish answers we are accused OF be-
ing either incompetent or Wllfully dis
honest.
For instance, I received the other day
q letter from lady in Baltimore accus-
ing me of holding out on her. The
trouble with you hacks who write about
the movies" she wrote, lis that you are
too friendly with the stars in Holly
wood, and so you don't want to offend
them. If you would only write down all
you know about what goes on behind
the scenes, then your stuff would be
really worth reading.
I 1 beg to inform this lady that she is
All wrong. The trouble with me, and
with most others who write about the
movies is that we continually write
down" considerable more than We know.
Me have to do so. We know so little!
4 Another correspondent asks me to tell
kher, How are John Barrymore and Do
lores Costello getting along together?'
How should I know? Or, when you
come to that, why should 1 care? Am l
supposed to spend my time shopping
around the back door Of the old Barry
more mansion. bribing the servants to
tell me just what words were passed
over the breakfast table that morning?
Those who want to know how John
BARRYMORE and Dolores Costello are
getting along together should send their
requests for information to John Barry
more, inclosing stamped, self-addressed
envelope for his reply. Or perhaps 1t
would be better to send the question to
Dolores Costello.
Permit me to quote from one more
communication that has lately come in
to nv disordered desk: us it true" asks
