FOX THEATERS
WILL NOTE
BIRTHDAY

William Fox, pioneer in the
motion picture industry, will COM
memorate the twentyfifth ami
versary of his entrance into that
industry with a long series Of
special events in all of his the
aters from coast to coast begin
ming next Saturday and for the
week following.
Mr.. Fox comes from the East
Side of New York City where
he was brought from his native
Hungary. His first job in the
United States was that OF most
immigrant boys-seIling newspa-
pers.
From his savings he hought
his first picture theater just 25
years ago. In actually it was
A penny arcade. shooting gallery
and picture emporium combined.
To secure one-third interest in
that enterprise he had to go into
debt to the extent OF $66.66. the
investment representing 1,666.66.
From that humble beginning
Mr.. Fox now operates several
hundred de luxe motion pictures
throughout the country. with
link in that chain being here in
Washington.
He also operates one Of the
largest producing companies IN
Hollywood and with considerable
foresight was the first of the pro-
ducers to announce the entire pro.
duction output of those studios
hn in %
1t was Mr.. Fox who financed
young inventor that developed
into the sound on film method
of music and voice recording: he
also developed the talking news
reel not only being first in this
field but first to have a world
wide news gathering organization.
His latest development is the
grandeur film and protector which

industry as the next step forward
in the motion picture art. In
this development the motion pic.

lures which has so long been
sought for. 1t was recently given
a New York showing at the Gaietv
Theater and all of the Fox thea
tiers are to have installations made
during the next several months.
The all singing. talking and
dancing film operetta, Married

ton to note the anniversary at
the local Fox theatr.

the wise old Cathayan sage puts
it, a strange mystic dream knight
from the exotic west" How was
she to know that what she mistonk
for a soul was merely fidelity to
a fat woman with a patient vir-
tue. The unhappy fate OF the
Princess Kukachin Is the tragic
note of the play.
The Theater Guild genius for
congenial casting makes the act
ing contribution tremendously eff.
fective through three absorbing
acts. You appreciate the many
sided Marco etched by Earl Lari-
more because his prototype is on
every hand today, the get-results
fellow who solves every problem
by mere wave of hand and has
no time for culture unless it pays
dividends. Mr.. Larimore MIXED
the character dry of laugh pos
siblfties and was a convincing
cherished admiration for the portlv
Sydney Greenstreet is heightened
by the tender and sympathetic
urea tinenJ with Wnlcn ne endowed
the kublai Khan and the poignant
beauty he injected into the touch
ing finale. The youthful Sylvia
Field made lovely princess and
truly heroic support was pro-
vided by Ernest Cossart, Louis
Neda, Frederick Roland, Henry
Travers and Helen Tilden.
In scenic and costume investf-
ture the T hea ter Guild has
drenched MARCO Millions" with
Oriental beauty and magnificence.
The masterful direction Of Reuben
Mamoulian, first evidenced in
"Porgy, finds Impression in group
scenes so colorfuily tableauxed,
postured and bathed in lights they
are among the plays most fragrant
memories. AS a production 1t is
inconcNivable to believe the Guild
craftsmen could be surpassed.
The real lover of the theater
need never fear the drama will die
while organizations as the New
York Theater Guild exist to keep
the torch burning with such
thoroughly worthwhile efforts as
