HE.ALY PLAYS
WITH HIS
AUDIENCE

Where does Ted Healy get his
comedy?
Many theatergoers have asked
this. Healy, who is a recent star
Of "Vanities," Night in Venice, {"
ETC., is now topping the stage ac-
tivities at Warmers Earle, gets
most of his laughing material by
experimenting with audiences.
Healy appears on the program
also presenting Bobby Folsom,
ziegfeld and Vitaphone star;
Falls, Reading and Boyce, versa
tile entertainers, and Ann Hard
ing's latest drama, Girl of the
Golden West"
Healy works out his material
with Ibis gang" which includes
his brothres, Shenp and Harry,
Howard and Larry Fine. Not a
week goes by but that they talk
over their act and consider the
use of the new lines and new
places of business"
BY constant alteration or i'm
provement Of lines, Healy keeps
his stage associates ever on the
alert.

Mrs. Fiske's Plays

BY an overwhelming vote the
playgoers Of Washington have Sc
lected Ladies Of the jury" Mrs.
Rumpstead-Leigh" and Becky
sharp" as Mrs. Fiske's repertoire
during her engagement at the Ma
tionaI Theatef.
:. On account Of its popularity IN
the ba1Ioting that has been in
rrogreSs for two weeks, Ladies OF
the Jury" viii be played Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday and WedueS-
day matinee, October ~, Is, 20;
Thursday night, October 80, Mrs.
Bumpstead-Leigh'' will be given,
&nd Becky Sharp" being next to
Ladies Of the Jury" in popularity,
viii be assigned to the favored
position, the last part Of the week,
Friday and Saturday nights and
Saturday matinee, October 81 and
November /.
With the first announcement
Of Mrs. FiSke'S engagement thea
tergoerS took immediate adyan-
tage Of this opportunity to vote
on what they wished her to play.
More than 1000 ballots were
cast. The fact that Ladies Of
the jury is Mrs. Fiske's latest
New York success and has never
been seen in washington, appears
to have weighed heavily in the
balloting. The reputation of MRS.
Burnpstead-Leigh" as q brilliant
comedy admirably suited tor Mrs.
Fiske's comedy genius and the
further fact that it has not been
seen in Washington in recent
years gave the play a decided
lead over its nearest competitor,
''Erstwhile Susan"
Becky Sharp" which closely
followed the favorite, had d
strong factor in its favor. the
fact that Becky is probably Mrs.
Ffske's beSt-known role.
The others in the order Of
their finish were Ghosts" !" Miss
Nellie Of NOrleaus" and Hay

PASSION PLAY
IS BOOKED AT
AUDITORIUM

For years Americans have
flocked to Oberammergau. in
Bavaria, to the Swiss Alps and
to Freiburg, Baden, Germany, to
witness presentations Of the
Passion Play" In 1922, when it
was last given in Freiburg, 10000
Americans alone made the pill
grimage to attend.
why cannot all Of America
see this sympathetic, reverent
dramatic presentation Of the
story of the redemption?
Many times the question was
asked. About two years ago
Adolf FaSsnacht, portrayer. Of the
Christus, answered it by organic
ing his company for an exten-
sive tour and bringing them to
America. The premiere was in
st. Joseph, Mo. The play in
that city of $4,000 played nine
presentations to 10000 people
in a new amphitneater which pro-
vided thanking hills and an out
side stage setting much like the
outside setting sometimes used in
Freiburg.
Fresh from new successes on
an extensive southern tour which
included Houston, New Orleans,
Memphis, Dallas and Oklahoma
City, the FreiburgerS came to
Washington where they viii
spend q week at the Washington
Auditorium.
On the especially enlarged
stage an entire Jerusalem street
scene Is provided with the Tenn
pie, the palace Of Herod, the pal
ace of PLATE and the bleak hill
of Golgotha where the final
tragedy is completed amidst the
storm and thunder and confu.
sion so vividly described in the
gospels. Thus It is q vast his
torical pageant, impressive, real
iStic and colorful. But many
prefer the dramatic effects Of
the intimate theater stage
Wherever it is given, the Pas
sion Play as interpreted by
Adolph FaSsnacht and his com
pany, Is always beautiful-the
lone outstanding tragedy of az
literature which ends on a note
OF triumph.

There were enough to paper a

D. W. GRIFFITH
LINCOLN AT
NATIONAL

Tomorrow night, at the Ma
tional Theater, United Artists win
present d. w. Griffith's first all
talking picture, Abraham Lin
coin" According to announce.
ments, and q wealth Of editorial
comment, this production Is
worthy to be claSsed beyond Mr..
Grfffith's former trilInphs, THE
Birth Of q Nation" Intolerance,
Hearts Of the World" and "Or-
phans Of the Storm" all familiar
to motion picture audiences. Un-
doubtedly the "old master" Of
the screen may be depended
upon to offer something un-
usually worth while IN this pre-
sentation for the audible screen,
Of the life of Lincoln.
According to Griffith himself,
he has attempted to present the
career Of the Great Emancipator,
''from the cradle to the gave"
as he himself has expressed 1t.
The character of his subject and
the tremendous historical cpl
sodes involved, should give full
scope to his directorial genius.
That he actually has surpassed
his former efforts in an achieve
ment we may well anticipate.
The Griffith Lincoln" Is known
to be q reverent, dignified treat
ment of the life Of the martyred
President. It begins with his
birth In the humble log cabin,
and has for its sequences his
early manhood as a rail-splitter,
his courtship Of the lovely Ann
Rutledge; his introduction to
Mary Todd and their subsequent
marriage; his famous debates with
Stephen Douglas; his invitation
to run for the Presidency; hts
winning of the election and his
arrival at the White House. Then
follows in quick succession the
conduct of the Civil War, the
Emancipation Proclamation, and
his untimely death at the hands
of the actor, Booth, in Ford's
Theater.
Walter Huston, distinguished
player of the stage and screen,
will be seen as Lincoln. Miss Una
Merkel plays opposite him in the
earlier sequences as Ann Rut-
ledge. Others in a long list Of
prominent players are Hobart
BoSworth, Henry B. Walthal,
Frank Campeau, Lucille. La Verne,
Kay Hammond, Ian Keith, Jason
Robards, Helen Ware, Fred War
ren and E. Allyn Warren.
Abraham Lincoln" was pre-
pared for the screen by Stephen
Vincent Benet, American poet-au-
thor, who wrote John Browns
Body" the Pulitzer prize poem.
The production is in 70 sets, 500
scenes. and has more than $50
speaking parts, declared to be the
largest number in the history Of
audible films.
During the engagement Of
Abraham Lincoln" at the Ma.
tional Theater there will be two
showingS daily, one at 2::30 and
the other at $3.50. All seats are to
be reserved.

ZELMA O'NEAL
JUST GREW
FUNNY

Injecting slap-jack vocal effects
into tunefu1 melodies "just to
make my sister laugh" started
Zelma O'Neal, red-haired. blue
eyed originator Of the Varsity
Drag" on a stage and screen
career which has made her one
of the most delightful condolences
Of the day.
Miss ONeal is now in Holly
wood, having Just completed the
feminine comedy role in Para

ization of Schwab & Manders
Broadway sensation senatton.
Follow Thru" She started her
clowning in the stage production
of Follow Thru" with Jack
Haley, who is also seen in the
moving picture, supporting the
stars, Charles Rogers and Nancy
Carroll.
This pert little package OF
laughs did not start out in life
to be funny-She just grew that
way. Indeed, when she left high
school, life was a very serious
business to her. She had to
mold her requirements to an eX-
acting family budget. Her first
Job was sorting patterns for the
Butterick Company in Chicago.
but she studied typewriting and
filing, and, during lunch hours
she would steal away to watch
the telephone operator at work.
Those hours Of study landed
her a job as telephone operator
and typist. At home, she and
her younger sister, Bernice, used
to play piano and sing together
Bernice playing and singing the
tunes straight, Zeima putting in
the vocal harmonies. These two
secured a job plugging songs at
music store, and thus began
Zelma O'Neal's public career. A
vaudeville scout caught her dur
ing q comedy moment and the
"Glycerine Sisters" as they called
themselves, were doing an act In
vaudeville before they knew it.
In Hollywood, the O'Neal sis
tiers are still together, Bernice
playing a bit in Follow, Thru,
which is now at Loew's Palace.

legorical significance of this
story through the medium Of
the talking picture. The pres
ent attempt was not altogether
successful but still remains o
highly neYitOriolls undertaking
with much that was noteworthy
in the Theater Guild production
still evident.
The chfG trouble is Charles
Farrell. He is not the swagger-
ing, boastful, cruel, yet lovable
Liliom that Joseph Schildkraut
enacted. His extremely Ameri-
can voice does not lend itself well
to the Austrian background, the
carnival atmosphere and gayety
Of Vienna. His acting seems
forced. The other members of
the cast, fortunately, fit in very
well with the spirit of the story.
Rose Hobart makes an appeal
ing Julie, whose love for the
theater barker, Liliorn, knows no
bounds. She handles the role
much after the fashion Of Eva
La 'Gallienne, who starred IN the
original production. EsteIle Tay-
lor, as Madame MuSkat, the rich
owner Of the carouSel; Lee Tracy
as THE Buzzard' who entices
LilioEn from the path of right
eOusneSs, and II. b. Warner, the
chief magistrate, who sits in
judgment ON Lilicm, EN- route to
heaven, give excellent perfor-
manceS.
The play is half reality and hall
phantaSy. The scenes in heaven
where Li1iom goes for Judgment
after committing suicide are tri-
umphs Of the scenic artists art.
LiIiom's brief return to- earth
aboard the Heavenly Special as
reward for his penance is also
beautifully done.

England Bars 'ILikon"

"LiIiom," the Ferenc Molnar
play which you may see on the
screen at the Fox Theater this
week, has been barred from the
cinema Of England.
John Bull has serious doubts
about, whether the scenes. depict
ing the hereafter are reverential
enough, with a particular eye
cooking at those sequences where
the Examiner" is pictured. Now,
if Fox had adhered to it's original
intention Of calling "Lilionl' in its
celluloid version "A Devil Among
Women" or Carnival Love-" I
can see where a doubt might arise,
AS 1t is, the controversy is ex-
pected to be settled by shipping
