EDDY IS RATED

Shiuld the idea Of endowing a

would be easily solved by appoint
ing Wesley Eddy one-man
faculty.
And should there be any doubt
of his thorough capability for so
seemingly impossible a task, the
proof is visible this week at Loew's
Palace Theater, where Wesley is
displaying his remarkable versa
tility as master of ceremonies Of
"Rubes and Dudes" the latest
Capitol Theater, New York. stage
show.
Wesley Eddy has become at once
the idol and mystification Of his
legion of followers. Like 8 n:agi-
clan, he has an endless beg o.
tricks, musical and comical. He is
acknowledged to be the peer Of all
Capitol Theater stage show lead
ers in diversity of talents. He
plays every instrument in the Dard
he leads, dances like a Fred AS
taire, sings or moves his audience
to laughter as the occasion de
mands.
His character impersonations
which range from the dramatic
to the droll, are worthy Of Broad
way, where, indeed. they have
been seen and noted. He can dc

a saw or, should the mood pe a
serious one, draw chords Of melan
choly from the hesrtstrings Of ar
audience with his violin. Though
it is his constant duty 20 intro
duce the celebrities who appear In
the show with him. he need never
1elegate himself to the pack
ground.
This versatility Is the cumula'
tive result Of = career that started
when Wesley was only Is. At that
age he was leading q band In q
New York cabaret. Taylor Holmes
then selected him to play in sew
eral Of his screen productions
His first Boradway musical show
was in Dillingham's THE Doll

NJ MUSIC FOR
DIRECTING

Had Alfred L. Werker been an
obedient child and followed the
dictates of his parents he would
never have directed Zane Grey's
Last of the Duanes," now play
ing at the Fox Theater.
His father, who was well
known musician of his day and
distantly related to Bach, the
noted German composer, planned
that Werker, too, should have
a musical career and started him
on q course of piano studies.
But when young Werker should
have been practising scales and
finger exercises he was doing
odd jobs around the local theater
After leaving high sc hool
Werker became a ballyhoo man
for a circus and later road
showed the Griffith film IN

prop man with Mary Pickford's
company, and after four years
of study and close observation di-
rected his first picture. Through
the Back Door" and Little Lord

ford.
Since joining Fox, Werker has
directed such successes as Blue

RODLAROcQUE'
ON THE WAGE
QUESTION
By ANDREW r. KELLEY

Interesting, yea enlightening, is
the way in which Rod La ROGUE
analyses the weekly income Of
the film player as compared to
the pay envelope Of the stage
actor.
Actor . La Rogue will soon. be
seen in Cherries Are Ripe" a
comedy by Anita Loos and John
Emerson In which he will be co
starred with his wife, the lovely
Wilma Banky. Give an ear,
please, to Mr.. La Rocque:
$ "As for the money end Of It.
you actually make more for
the time spent on the stage
than you got when you were in
pictures.
"For instance, say you re-
cefve $1,000 a week on the
stage. You earn this $1,000 in
eight performances or about Is
hours. In pictures, say you get
$500 q week. For. S3,50O you
put In seven days Of IL hours
each, or 81 hours. On the
stage you are making $62.5O an
hour. on the screen S42 an
hour. And how long do you
work on a picture? Four or
five weeks.
The Washington times., 1930-09-06
Stage Pay Is o. K.

ION the stage, if you have
any kind of q run, you will
probably play the entire season.
Figure it out, economists, five
weeks at S3,5OO. or 40 weeks at
$1,000: and you will see that
even the money which Is your
excuse for working in pictures
Is more apparent than real.
If YOU were to get One-Quarter
Of per cent royalty ON
picture, however, that would be
different" '
This appears sound reasoning
except that plays which run q
season of 40 weeks are as rare as
capacity Monday nights. There's
Just a precious few to each season
However, will not debate
further with Mr.. La Rocque. In
stead. let me add that his new
play will be directed by Constance
Collier.
Lionel Atwill will direct Colleen
