like Beau Geste" but that is the
groundwork of the story of One Stolen

The story deals with an itinerant

not the greater fame, of a road attrac-
ton, and was lost to the players, ap-
parently forever. John Glyn MacFar-
lane leaped into his place, and, with
Edward Arnold, managed to hold the
crowds until John Warner lit upon the
scene. Then all went well until long
and successful Summer season was
brought to close.
In 1926, mot at all diSfgured but
very much in the ring" as they have it
in the popular classics, the National
Players started their second season,
with Leneta Lane and John Warner
still in the leads But about midseason
Miss Lane disappeared, and in her
place came Leona Powers, the 1T" OF
leading ladies, and John Warner still
doing duty in the lover roles. About
this time Mrs. Adelaide Hubbard joined
the company, and since her advent she
has shared the honorS with all OF them,
and--Well, may she never leave them.
In 1927 Miss Powers and John War
ner began and ended the season in the
leads, and Charles Hampden became q
notable recruit, now developed into a
permanent and popular fixture.
1928 was memorable in that both
Leneta Lane and Leona Powers took
turns as leading lady, and John War
ner, like the melody in Irving Berlin'S
song, still fingered on" 1928 was
memorable also for the advent of Helen
Wallace and Robert Brister, two sheet
anchors of the current company.
1929 behaved badly, for it took away
the familiar leading players that had
frightened many production of Mi.
Cochran's company, that now had won
wide fame throughout the country, not
only for packing them in" the stage
term for attracting capacity audiences,
but for eXcellently acted and magnifi-
Gently staged productions that rivaled
the Boardway-born road companies.
That excellent and impressive actress,
Mary Newton, opened the current
season as leading woman, and MILFORD
Lytell, waJ soon won many admirers,
as leading man. They gave perform
ances in two productions, Madame *
and What Every Woman Knows"
which stand unchallenged for their
worth. And then they vanished, Civ
ing way to Edith King and Roger
Pryor both of whom seem likely soon
to occupy the inches in the temple of
popularity filled by their worthy prede-
ceSsors. The current season seems
likely to take a very pleasant twist in
the right direction by bringing back to
the fold Edward Arnold, in the current
weeks play, and the irrepressible Billy
Phelps, May 81, in The Spider

Lonsdale S Praise.

\ KIND word for talking pictures IN
n general, and for the screen voice
of o. P. Heggie in particular, was eX-
pressed recently by the English drama
fist, Frederick Lonsdale, in an article
in the London Mail.
Heggie plays one of the principal
roles in THE Letter" Paramount's lat
est all-talking picture, in which Jeanne
Eagels has the leading role.
Lonsdale's article says in part:
People in this country who regard
talkies' as wild dream or a ingen-
ious toy are binding themselves to
what is already an accomplished fact.
This was proved 10 me beyond all
shadow of doubt by one simple expert
ment. I was shown in New York a
film, half of which was accompanied
by dialogue and appropriate sounds.
The second half was silent. Its fiatneSs
and dizziness by contrast were positively
ludicrous
1T is a mistake, too, to suppose that
the dialogue is necessarily shrill, me
chanical or scratchy. One of the actors
whom I saw and heard in a film was
o. p. Heggie, and nothing could have
been more impressive than the dia-
lCgue as he spoke it. The reproduction
was marvellous, perfect--it was exactly
like listening to the man in an ordi-
nary theater, or, better still, in ones
drawing ROOM"

Review of Theatrical Affairs Along the White Way

There are numerous BarrymoreS, Mae

Fishes ambitious to show themselves IN
public. The least of ones worries ABOUT

is scarce in actors. There are 100000
little theater and community anna
teurs ready and eager to supplant the
professionals who have absconded to
HOLLYWOOD. So we should not worry
about the dramas plightS, lntruStlng
them to their traditional security. Ihere
are and there always will be more actors
than are necessary.
Two small musical reviews were pro-
duced last week-"The Little Show" by
Messrs. Brady and Winan, and the
of the Neighborhood Playhousers. THE
Little Show an uptown product, was
surprisingly bright. Rumors had come
to Times Square from Asbury Park and
Atlantic City, dependable testing sta
tions, that it was stupid. But on Mon
day evening it proved to be fleet,
wiSe-cracking and sophisticated Vaude-

among the ticket brokers. THE Grand

THE Little Show is a swift, brash
