is great entertainer. The news
that the Theater Chatelet will

CHEVALIER TO
GET $4,000
A WEEK
By ANDREW r. KELLEY

It remained for Howard BARNES,
dramatic editor of the New York
Herald Tribune, to set the local
rialto close to agog, with a few
paragraphs in the Sunday issue
setting forth that the Messrs. Shu-
bert and the rival Erlanger office
has gotten together for the pur-
poses of joint bookings and clos
ing of provincial theaters where
opposition was costly.
Briefly, Washington was listed
as a one-theater town under the
arrangement. It's partly true, but
washington will continue to have
its National and Belasco theaterS,
with separate attractions.
The story SINNERS down to the
fact that in some cities the Shu-
herts will book some Of their big
ger musicals in Erlanger houses
and vice versa. In other words,
shows like Earl Carrots Sketch
Book" Jack Donahle in "Sons o
Guns" and Ed Wynn in Simple
Simon" on the Shubert time, will
probably play the National, be-
cause of a greater seating ca.
pacity. The Belasco is mentioned
under the plan as slated for dra-
matte attractions of the more init
mate type.
Getting further down to brass
tacks the purpose is to elimi-
nate dark weeks, to give play
houses the hest available attrac-
tions covering a full season.

HOLLYWOOD. Calf, Sept. 9.
An intriguing rumor comes my
way that Gloria Swanson will
star in the musical that De Syl-
va, Brown and Henderson will do
for United Artists.
The plan hasn't gotten past
the discussion stage as yet, but
studio officials are said to be
very keen to sell Gloria on the
role. Inasmuch as she has often
considered doing musical, there
should be no fundamental objec-
tions to overcome.
One detects more hopeful at
titude among producers about
the future of this form of en-
tertainment. All agree that the
public was glutted by an epidem-
ic of inferior product, but think
that interest may be stimulated
if a few good musicals are re,
! leased.
+ Within 48 hours. I have been
in at the finish of two musicals,
and if the rest of the productions
measure up to the climactic Sc
quence, they give every promise
of being spectacular films. One
is the Romberg and Hammer:
stein operetta, Children OF
Dreams, at Warmers. and the
other is De sylvia, Brown and
Henderson's Just Imagine" at
Fox.
Douglas Fairbanks Reaching

cal, so the pendulum must have
started on it's backward swing.

F|REMEN IN LEGION
 MAY GET DAYS OFF
Board Considers Allowing Them
 to Attend Convention

Emil G. Hjerpe, chairman of the board of fire commissioners, stated today that a poll of the members of the fire department was being talk en to ascertain how many of them were members of the American Le- zion. The same action is being talk en among the members of the po- lice department.
 The suggestion has been made that both boards allow members of the department who are members of the organization to attend the na- tional convention in Boston without the loss of four days pay. Accord ing to the chairmen, the members of the fire commission are in favor of the project.
 The poll, it is expected, will be finished so that definite action will be taken by the board on Monday.
 There are 2S members of the fire department who are ex-servicemen but only a small percentage of these are members of the American Le- egion. It is felt that to let all ex- servicemen off for the four days woud imperil the city too much in case of a conflagration, but the feel ing exists that American Legion members should be allowed to go to Boston if they feel so inclined.

A laugh of every line of the dia- lcgue of "The Bad Man" is the boast of the producers. First Ma tional and Fitaphone, and judging from the audience reaction when the picture opened yesterday for three days at the Strand. it is true
 The Bad Man." is a great picture primarily because it was great play. It is a distinct and novel story, abounding in laughs, and, under the guise of a Latin tempera- ment, kidding serious-m s-minded Americans to the limit.
 Walter Huston gives one of the greatest performances of his career in this picture. He is more deadly ir character than was Holbrook Blinn's bad man." but as such he is even more effective, and has lost none of Bliun's humor.
 But great as Huston is in the part, he comes very nearly having the picture stolen from him by o. P. Heggie, the veteran character actor who plays the role of the ec- centric uncle in the wheel chair. Heggie played the same role on the stage. In the picture he is respon- sible for fully as many laughs as is Huston.

 These are some of the absorbing questions that are fearlessly answer ed in Common Clay" Victor Elem ing's remarkable production for Fox movietone featuring Constance Ben nett and Lew Ayres, which opens tomorrow at the Embassy theater.
 Closely following Gloves Kinkead' $ noted Harvard prize play in iu theme and story, the screen version is said to be even more gripping and dramatic than the original. Miss Bennett enacts the role that carried Jane Cowl to fame before the foot lights.
 The story centers around a pleas ure-loving girl who takes job in a speakeasy because of the gaiety and music she craves When the estab- lishment is raided, she sees the dan gers of the path she is following and abandons the bright lights for position as a maid in a fashion able home. Here, however, she finds hereself subject to the same urwelcome attentions and eventual ly falls in love with the young heir of the house, played by Lew Ayres who betrays her.
 Her subsequent efforts to secure justice for herself and her child with the unexpected turn of events at the climax, form a basis for one ot the most interesting screen offer irgs of recent months.

Little Fffect On Market

Chicago, Sept. 26 (UP)-Reports Of Russian activities in the wheat markets, which were held partly re- sponsible for wild fluctuations earlier in the week, had little effect yester- day on the wheat exchange here and traders apparently have lost inter est in charges of Soviet short sell ing made by Secretary of Agriculture Hyde.
 In the face of reports from Wash 1ngton concerning the Russian sales and of an investigation of these re- ports by the business conduct com- mittee of the board cof trade, wheat opened paratively strong, react ed, rallied and close about even with Wednesdays finish.
 At the close, wheat was 1-2 higher to 1-4 cents lower. Other grains al- 80 remained about even.
 The business conduct committee, which holds it's sessions in secret, planned to resume it's investigation of charges by Hyde that Soviet Rus sia had driven down American wheat prices by heavy short selling.
