| Madge Kennedy
| Next at Belasco

What was acclaimed in New
York city last season as one Of the
most distinctive hits Of the year
was Michael and Mary" the A.
A. Milne comedy of the Charles
Hopkins Theater, where it ran for
the entire season, and which comes
to the BelaSco Theater the week
beginning Monday, October 20,
with the delightful comedienne,
Madge Kennedy, as the star.
Miss Kennedy Is said to have
never given a finer expression of
her delicious histrionic endowment
than she does as the loyal and con-
fiding Mary-a character that is
said to fit her with a glove-like
nicely, and in which she diScloses
an artistry heretofore unknown to
this talented and versatile young
woman. Her MARY" is as finely
Chisled a portraiture as seen upon
the American stage in years.
The story Of this delightful COM
edy moves swiftly and entertain
ingly around the chance meeting
Of two young idealists-Michael
and Mary-in the British Museum,
London, one May morning in 1905.
Michael is an aspiring writer:
Mary is a poor, deserted wife, who
drifts into the museum for a
few moments rest after having
trudged all morning looking for a
job to keep her from starving.

HER MAN HAS

Revolutionary in theme, treat
ment and scope, "Her Man." fea-
turing Helen Twelvetrees, Mar

mantle drama of the scarlet

Havana.
"Her Man" is said to mark an
other milestone of cinema en-
tertainment. It is described as
unique in Its premise and engross-
ing in its scope. It is a drama Of
life in the raw-vivid colorful, ele-
mental. A story of the regenera-
ton of a girl born on the wrong
side Of the island'-and how
she dared the world for the love
Of q man.
Two new songs, sung in "Her
Man." promise to achieve great
popularity. One is Far, Far
Away" a comedy number written
by George Green and Tay Gar
nett, and sung by Phillips Holmes.
The other Is Somehow I Know" I"
also sung by Mr.. Holmes.
One Of the much talked of fea-
cures Of "Her Man" is the climax,
which is reached in a sensational
underworld battle, said to excel
in action and thrills any fight

TOY DOG COST
SWANSON :
$500

The contention that it costs
no more to originate than to
initiate is scarcely borne out by
Gloria Swanson's experience in
creating a new type Of toy dog
to use in a few scenes of What
a Widow!," her latest United
Artists talking and singing pic
ture, directed by Allan Dwarf
which is playing the second week
at Loewe'S Columbia.
The dog in question, Gerry.
jr.", is a limp-eared, odd looking
creature whose chief claim to
recognition is his individuality.
Certainly, he looks like no other
dog, real or stuffed.
Gerry, jr." cost about $500,
and no part Of the expense IS
due to a pedigree, for he has
none. The expenditure consists
principally of labor charges fot
the various craftsmen who had
q part in his construction, be-
ginning with the original designs
and ending with the gluing of the
final wisp of hair to the end Of
his tail.
Produced in quantities, with

hand labor, Gerry jr." would
probably bring a price Of five
dollars, or at the most ten, at
the average toy counter. In
most cases a dog Of that price
would have served the purpose
for which Gerry is used in What
a. Widow!" But Miss Swanson
insisted that the canine should
be in keeping with the modern,
istic sets designed by Paul Nelsons
of Paris, and there was nothing

AN UNUSUAL
DRAMA

Perhaps nothing In the the
atrical and literary worlds has
been so much discussed as Ethel
Barrymore's announcement that
she would act the Gullah Negress.
Sis May'e in Scarlet Sister
Mary" the play made by Daniel
Reed from the novel by Julia
Peterkin.
Washington is to see this pro-
6uction before New York as Lee
Shubert will present Scarlet Sis
ter Mary" in the Shubert-B BelaScO
Theater for one week only be-
ginning Monday night. Addi.
tional interest is In the debut Of
Miss Barrymore's daughter, Ethel
Barrymore Colt, who represents
the fifth generation Of the
famous Barryrnore-D Drew family in
the theater.
Readers of Mrs. Peterkin's novel
win remember the unusual charc-
ter Of 81 May-e, who is an actual
person and lives on Mrs. Peter
kin'S husbands plantation in
South Carolina. All the people
in the story were drawn from life.
The Gullah Negroes are an ex-
elusive clan of pure African
stock. They have been little in
fluenced by the outside world
and speak a language distinctly
different from that of other col
ored persons in this country.
Though all the roles save q
minor one are negroes, the cast
Of Scarlet Sister Mary is COM
posed Of white players except for
the group of singers. Chief Of
the company are Estelle Win
wood, Beatrice Terry, George
Drew Mendum, Anita Rothe,
Ethel Barrymore Colt, Walter
Gilbert, Horace Braham, William
3. Mack, John Roseleigh and
Leo Kennedy. Watson Barratt
designed the scenes, Maurice
Mike arranged the music and
Orry Kelly made the costumes.
The mail order sale received
at the Shubert- Belasco Theater
indicates that the interest in
Washington in Miss Barrymore'S
appearance as 81 May-e equals
that which has greeted her else
where. Already she has hung UP
records for a dramatic attraction
in the two cities visited, Colum-
bus and Cleveland, Ohio.

There is little more to back up the
suggestion than the fact that the bot

cipitous breaks as that Of last week
occur about this time of year the first
substantial recovery marks the end Of
the downward swing. Both live prices

In 1927 the week ending May 81

hurting downward in March, 1929,
prices logged along until May "a to

Economists, who see the present sit

that. as in 1926, feeders may upset the
schedule. Cattle were put on feed late
last year, which would indicate a pos

upward swings which have occurred in
the past decade appreciation in this

Between April, 1926, and August,
