FOX'S FOLLIES
ON F STREET
MAY Is

Now that there are talking pic
lures, it Is not strange that the
Fox organization has determined
upbn an annual picture which will
correspond in the film world to the
Eiegfeld "Follies" in the world of
the theater.
The first film of this sort has al.
ready been shown in California
and Ia entitled the Fox "Follies."
Officials responsible for this first
edition of the Fox "F'ollies" de-
clare that Ziegfeld has been glori-
flying the American girl for the big
cities which can afford to pay
huge sums for theater tickets, but
that Mr.. 3'ox Is glorifying the
AmericGu girl for the millions of
people in cities and towns who pay
only the usual price Of admission
at their flvorite film theater.
At any rate, Fox is welcoming
boys and girls who can dance and
sing. 1t Is almost as important
to be able to dance, si~g or do
funny monologues in pictures as
1t is for the stage.
Showgirls who once wouldn't
leave New York are committing
between Hollywood and New York
these days, and glad of the chance.
Fox Movietone Follies of 1929
will be seen in Washington at the
Fox Theater starting May 25.

GLEANINGSI
SCREENINGS
By ANDREW r. KELLEY

Motion picture audiences are
demonstrating at the Metropoli-
tan Theater this week that all
the implausibilities and fictions
of musical comedy and operetta
books can be- overlooked if the
sounds which reach the ear are
sufficiently melodious and sooth-
ing.
In real life any kidnapping
rebel about to lay violent hands
on his victim would be deemed
crazy if he started to solo in a
rich baritone voice at the criti-
cal and exciting moment of his
adventure. Musical comedy au-
diences accept it as o. X. if the
tune happens to be pleasing.
So will the paying patrons of
the cinemas. The cordial re-
ception accorded "The Desert
Song" proves it beyond ques-'
tion.
witnessed the premiere of the
Schwab and Mandel operetta
at Polls Theater in November,
1926. Since then l have twice
been enraptured by the Sig
mund Romberg score at repeat
performances. Being then thor
oughly familiar with "The
Desert Song" words and music,
I approached the Metropolitan
Theater as an interested and
critical observer of this latest
Hollywood pioneering.
Hitherto most silent movies
have invariably striven for eff
fective realism. They have not
always attained the objective
but generally the purpose has
been to WOO the spectator into a
belief that what the screen was
portraying was camera slice
of real life. "The Desert Song"
scorns such attempts at illusion.
It is boldly and openly musical
romance and do what you like
about it..
Can you imagine a fair crea-
ture about to be kidnapped drop
ping her gun and advantage
over the brigands while she
listens to a love song? Can
you imagine a father failing to

fore the last note is reached
because the voice of John Boles
happens to be musically pleas
ing and beautifully recorded.
Carlotta King also halts proceed
ings while she sings. Such di-
rectorial procedure was unheard
of in Hollywood until the screen
found a place for the tenors
and sopranos. Furthermore, |
think we will see more of it, for
the Metropolitan audience ap-
peared just as willing to. hold
everything while a good voice
commanded attention as were
the audiences of the audible
stage.
Johnny Arthur's comedy is
carbon copy of that which first
generated laughs when projected
by Eddie Buzzell, and later by
Bernard Granville, stage comics.
They are the original jokes to
the last giggle, and the title
writers must have been twid-
ding their thumbs when this
feature was made. Carlotta
King is not an ideal Margot.
Her voice is robust, but it is
shrill and lacks quality. / can
think of several who could look
and sing the part to better adj
vantage. Evelyn Herbert or
Bernice Claire, for instance, if
one must be specific. However,
principals. choral work and the
secondary singers make "The
Desert Song" grand entertain
ment for the ear which loves
harmony.
There were filters and some
outlaws for the preposterous
assumption that anybody with
half a brain could be fooled by
the Red Shadows quick change
DISCUSSES. They made the same
objection when desert Song"
was first offered to musical
comedy sharps but the operetta
endured to make fortune de-
spite this minor criticism.
The important point is that
motion picture audiences are
showing by crowded lobbies that
they will buy and enjoy stgae
fiction produced basically in the
same manner as the footlight
musical confections. "The
Desert Song" is a crackajack
first effort. Unless l am
greatly mistaken it is the fore
runner of an operetta orgy for
the cinema shrines.

Here and now + set down my
belief that Warner Brothers did
highly creditable job in effect
ing the transfer from stage to
screen. 1t seems almost incred-
ible that stage production
could be reproduced in its en-
tirety by cameras and micro
phones in the identical footlight
technique. Yet it has been done.
There are some colorful and
picturesque scenes photographed
on the great American desert
