GILBERT SEES
INA CLAIRE
ON STAGE
BY HARRISON CARROLL

Copyright. 1880, Premier syndicate)
Ina Claire's opening night in
her new play, Rebound" at the
Belasco was an occasion which
brought Hollywood and Beverly
Hills to the theater en- Tllasse,
and aside from the large arc
lamps that usually herald a first
night 1t was as lavish as any
world premiere Of a picture,
Inside the theater Miss Claire
responded time and time again to
curtain calls in answer to the ap-
plause from the enthusiastic
audience and probably most ex-
cited or enthusiastic of all was
Jack Gilbert. who had never seen
his wife on the stage before.
Jack sat In the first row and
Ina Is reported to have stormed
a bit because Of it. THE big
bum is sitting in the front row
and I wanted him to stay out Of
sight," she lamented between the
first and second acts. However,
it seemed to spur her to greater
efforts, and she gave beautiful
performance.
: In the audience / saw Dolores
Del Rio and Cedric Gibbons,
Gloria Swanson, Ruth Chatterton
and Ralph Forbes, Ann Harding
and Harry Bannister, Colleen
Moore, Norma Shearer and Ir.
wing Thalberg and many others.
During an intermiSsion Hunt
Strolnberg and Sol Wurtzel were
overheard going into ecstasies
over the smartness of the dialogue
contained in the play. Both were
heaping superlatives on the
authors ability when Stromberg
glanced at a lobby ad which bore
Donald Ogden Stewards name.
Turning back to Wurtzel he said
shortly, "Oh, Stewart" and the
incident was closed.
Further check-up reveals that
Stewart was prone to kid the
movies and the people connected
with the. business while visiting
in Hollywood some time ago!
From Europe comes the an
nouncement that Greta Garbo's
brother. Sven, is working In his
first talking picture. He has been
signed by Paramount to appear in
an all-Swedish talking picture,
Where Roses Bloom" The film
is being produced at the Para
mount studios in Paris, and is
supervised by Robert T. Kane, for.
nferly an executive at several
studios here. Before talkies Sven
appeared in several pictures pro-
duced in Sweden.

Some of the Faults

Watching two-a-day vaudeville
counted out I would set down as
the solar plexus blows which
brought the finish:
/. Playing acts at $3.50 top
which only few weeks or
months before had played the
movie houses at from is to 40
cents admission. In other words,
breaking down the line between
big time and family vaudeville.
2. Repeats. Bringing the same
headline acts back several times
In the same season.
8. Permitting legitimate stars
.Aith big Broadway names to
come into vaudeville at huge
salaries but without proper
material. Using vaudeville to
pick up easy money.
A. Too many musical comedy
stars pushing on a grand piano
hiring $100 week piano player
and singing d few songs. Col
Iecting big money on a reputa'
ton and an act thrown together

S. Permitting musical comedy
to steal standard acts Of real
entertainment value because OF
unwi1lingness to meet the higher

6. Try out weeks. Split weeks

elaborate display of fireworks.
The new road leaves the for

BUSTING INTO BASE BALL
How Broke Into the Major Leagues"
BY FREDDY LINDSTROM,
AS Told to John F. Mccain.

= TGNING major league contract
at the age of 16 no doubt is
something out of the ordinary,
but to me it didn't seem unusual,
as ever since infancy I had loved to
play base ball and found it something
easy to do and learn, and although
engaged in all branches of sport, base
ball always was first in my mind.
The chance to get into the game In
a professional way occurred when
was attending Loyola University, in
Chicago. Jake Weimer, our coach, a
famous big Lacquer of other times, in.
formed me that major league scout
had come to see US play, the Lake
View team, one of our strongest rivals.
Jake hailed me just before the game
started.
FREDDY" he told me, "Dick Kin
sella, scout of the New York Giants. is
attending the game today. He is here
to watch you play"
It made me just nervous enough to
be good, and made four htts-two
home runs and pair OF triples. That
evening my dad and myself met Mr..
Kinsella In the Auditorium Hotel, and
I signed a New York contract for the
STAGGERING" sum Of $500 q month, being
at that time just 10 years OF age. I
reported to Manager McGraw the next
day at the Cubs park, and after taking
one glance at me, he decided that To-
ledo was my destination. Under the
guidance of Roger Bresnahan, I pro-
crossed rapidly. and In 1924 returned to

intention to keep away from the club
while 1t is managed by johnson.
The Washington president never has
demanded that Goslin apologize to
Johnson. All Griffith has said with re-
gard to the alleged remark was con-
tanned in his formal statement issued
here March 8. In it the clubs executive
declared, While do not believe Cos
lin ever made such a remark, it will be
up to him to clear this matter up be-
fore joining the club"
Undecided as to Reply.
johnson had not decided at an early
hour today whether he would wire Cos
lin a reply. AS the manager sees it. Il
the Goose denies having remarked ne
would not play for johnson there is nc
need OF an apology, and therefore nc
need to acknowledge GosIin's message
President Griffith, though, still in
sists Goslin must clear this matter

to talk.

Poor Punch Handicaps Red SOx
In Effort to Quit the Cellar

the No. / Highlander Of the pitching
staff. big Ed Morris Of Mobile. Ala.
With last-place club in 1929, Morris
won IL and lost IA. He should do as
well or better this year. In addition,
Wagner counts on some capable right
handed flinging from Charley Ruffing.
Danny MacFayden, the former Somer-
vile schoolboy star; Jack Russell and
Milt CASTOR.
With any other outfit, this group
might be considered a star staff. 1t
lacks something in left-handed support,
with only the veteran Billy Bayne, Ed
gar Carroll and Ed Durham, the latter
up from Pittsf1eld, as portSide entries,
unless Ben Shields, formerly with the
Yankees, stages a comeback. Ray
DOZENS, ex-college star, and Horace
Ldsenbee. once q sensation with Wash
ington, have chances to stick.
The principal punch in the lineup
Is packed by two useful outfielderS, Jack
Rothrock and Russ Scarritt, who made
good last year In his first major league
season. Both are 800 hitters, but their
wallop Is not suf1cient to Offset the dis
advantages Of an infield which Is good
defensively, but woefully weak at the
bat. Tom Oliver. an Alabama product,
may get the other outfield post, al
though John Winsett, .346 hitter with
HsAO0AC AdoC year. IS~yeAI-OIu doc OICSIO
from the Eastern League and Bill Bar
rett, formerly Of the White Sox, are
battling for jobs.
Regular Infield Is Fast.
The regular infleld shapes up as fast
and snappy with Phil Todt at first,
Bill Regain at second, Hal Rhyme, the
former Pittsburgher, at short, and Bob
Reeves, the former Georgia Tech star
obtained from Washington, at third.
Bill Sweeney, who did some good stick
work with Toronto last year, will give
Todt a battle before the first-string
lineup is decided Bill Narlesky, Ernest
Holman and Otis Miller also are candi-
dates for tnfleld jobs, where hitting
ability will have considerable to do with
Wagner'S final choices. Since Carri-
gan's emphasis on defensive skill failed
to work, the new manager may put q
higher value on offensive power.
Behind the bat the veterans Charley
Berry, a former Lafayette All-America
end, and John Heving have the call.
One youngster, Bob Asbjornson, who is
only 20 and hit $50 with Pittsfield last
year, seems sure to stick. Another, Ed
Connolly, also from Pittsfield, will get
a thorough trial.

~ ENSACOLA, Fla. March 1.-THE
- glories of the old Red Sox have
departed, but the spirit carries
calamity on.
When Connie Mack, in 1922. gave up
his long term occupancy of the Ameri-

Red Sox took over the lease. With the
exception of one season in the past
eight, the Boston entry has finished last,
far cry from the halcyon days Of 1908
to 1918, during which the Sox won six
pennants and seldom were out Of the
first division.
Bill Carrigan, great catcher and man.
ager Of two world championship teams
failed in q three-year comeback attempt
to lift the Red Sox from their lowly es-
tate. This year Charles (Heine) Wag-

Mons, has taken over the somewhat
thankless job of trying to 60 somewhere

Club Has Fine Spirit.
Nevertheless, the Red Sox have spirit

ciaily with a number of their rivals
they have stuck to the task Of rebuild
