MORGAN QUIT
FILMS FOR
STAGE

Frank Morgan, who plays the
leading role in 1.-THE AmorouS
Antic," which opens at the
Shubert-B elasco Theater on
Monday, deserted motion pic
lures for the stage.
He had often thought Of
turning to a dramatic career,
since his brother, Ralph Nor
gan, had played in such sue
cesses as Madame x" Broad
way Jones" Fair and Warmer"
and "Lightnin'."
In New York Frank Morgan
found a place in vaudeville.
where he tried out his talents.
And he made good-so much so
that from 1914 to 1917 he sang,
danced and acted in half a
dozen musical or dramatic pro-
auctions. One of his. first was
with Nora Bayes in "Her Fam
lily Tree" He had parts in
Lady Friends" 1.-THE Dream
Maker" 1.-The Man Who Came
Back" 1.-THE Triumph of X"
Seventh Heaven" and "Lul-
LADY,"
Then came his greatest sue
cess-and a long stride it was
from cow-punching to playing
the rapid and insipid Duke in
1.-The Firebrand"- 1t was
his finest piece of work and one
that will remain long in the
minds of all those who saw the
piece.
Frank Morgan made his first
picture in Hollywood with Gloria
Swanson in "Manhandled," and
followed that by playing Born
Rich"
Then the two brothers, Ralph
and Frank, appeared in tire
same play, "A Weak Woman"
This season Mr.. Morgan
scored a tremendous, personal
success when he appeared in
the short-lived Vincent Law
renee comedy, Among the Mar
ried." In THE Amorous AntiC,"
he plays the role of an ultra
modern playwright who has
some eld-fashioned instincts.

GUILD DRAMA
DWELLS ON
PEACE

Although the authors of
wings over Europe" the New
York Theater Guilds produc.
ton at the National Theater,
beginning Monday night, have
confined their play within the
stout earthly walls of the Brit
isll Prime Minister'S house they
have let their imagination soar
boundlessly. They have dared
to dream Of international peace.
In fact, the idea Of their excit-
ing and original play is so pre-
poSterous that 1t is probably
true, and it does credit to their
intelligence and vision.
Robert Nichols and Maurice
Browne, for they are the au-
thors of this play. haye sup
posed that q young scientific
genius has discovered the ulti-
mate secret Of material exis-
tence. He has learned how to
control the energy Of the atom.
To him, and to mankind whom
he plans to endow with the
magic formula, all material
problems and struggles are now
potentially solved. by his as
founding discovery man is re-
leased from material considera-
lions for the cultivation Of his
soul. Being an idealist, the
young scientist believes that it
is humantty's instinct to Gre
ate and not to destroy. Ac-
cordingly he has misgivings
about the abuse Of his secret.
He is certain that in humanity's
hands, this supernatural power
to control all material things
will be used only for the ad-
vancement Of life.
In order to express, their
idea in the theater, the Messrs.
Nichols and Browne have had
to discover an adversary; and
probably not without some
private chuckling they have as
sembled with sly caricature,
the British Cabinet in a long
conference room at No. 10
Downing Street. Confronted
with an idea so colossal, these
gentlemen, after the gravest
consideration, can think of
nothing to do except pledge the
young genius to destroy his
formula and engines, or they
shall clap him securely in
prison. To all such talk he
coolly replies that he will use
his discovery to blast the earth
and all its people, including
himself, to perdition.
The last act sees a thrilling
denouement, and while the
British Cabinet is impatiently
awaiting the destruction OF the
world at the stoke OF noon,
wings Over Europe" enjoys
great moments of soul-disturb-
ing emotion. Few plays on
the dramatic stage reach such
heights.

Sunny Side Up" the Fox
Movietone original musical
comedy which is now on its
second week at the Fox, not

debut of Janet Gaynor and

given Ell Brendel his first
chance at the musical comedy

Brendel Is known at present
for his Swedish characterize

the Swedish dialects have been
acquired; Brendel was born in
Philadelphia.
The public schools Of the
Quaker City were little slow for
Ell Brendel. After a fair trial
at them he ran away, acting in
the smaller motion picture
theaters Of the city. There is
no record of the routine he
used at that inspiring time Of
his career. Old inhabitants re-
member it as something fearful
and wonderful, Brendel himself
confesses to an act that in
cluded "songs, stale jokes and
sleirht of hand tricks" Brendel
broke into vaudeville.
some time along about here
Brendel married Flo Bert. They
formed a team and toured
vaudeville so successfully that
they were booked for II years.
The tour was broken for q
legitimate appearance In several

When the German dialect be-

the Swedish as being the best
neutral. It wasn't so easy. But
he continued until even a ma
tive Of Minnesota would greet
scsim with "Ska1l." He went into
pictures, playing several char
acter parts. He was signed with

RIO RITA HAS
EMINENCE OF
zIEGFELD

There's a new phase of the
theatrical business in the max
ing. Broadway producers ale
beginning to wonder about
stage rights" to screen pro-
auctions for the first time
One of the films that has
brought about this new point
OF view on the exchange Of
stage and screen material and
talent is "Rio Rita" the all
talking, all-muSical extrava-
ganza Radio Pictures has made
from the Ziegfeld hit, which Is
now playing at the RrK-O-
Keiths Theater.
For Radio Pictures, 1t Is ad.
mitted on every side, has out
ziegfelded Ziegfeld for splendor
and spectacle in the presenta-
ton Of Harry Tierney's op-
eretta.
The immediate reaction, say
film men, to the rich produc-
ton value Of the film Rio
Rita" It's new music, new sets,
new costumes and wealth OF
color and beauty, is that Broad
way stage producers soon will
be seeking Tstage rights" to
the, bigger screen productions
instead of the screen invading
Broadway for Its ideas and tai
ent.
There were several figures
connected with the screening
Of "Rio Rita" who were asso-
ciated in the original stage
production. Harry Tierney, who
wrote the score was one. Vic
tore Baravalle, who directed 1t,
was another. Bert Wheeler
and Robert Woolsey, vino
played their original comedy
roles in the Radio Picture YER
sion; Helen Kaiser and Kay
English, former ziegfeld show
girls, and others Of the cast
Of Radio Pictures "Rio Rita"
all have been in several Of
Broadway's most successful
musical comedies.
All declared the R-K-O "Rio
Rita" was the most gorgeously
dressed production they had
ever seen.
To Max Rec, art supervisor
Of Radio Pictures, goes much
Of the credit for the splendor
with which "Rio Rita" was
produced. An architect and
q picture director, Ree's sets
and costumes, many OF, which
were photographed in color,
were the most Sumptuous-and
the most costly-that have been
built thus far In the new era
of talking pictures.
