Even though they need JooS
and with slack summer coming
on, a good many actors are balk-
ing at engaging in try-outs Of
plays. Some refuse to bother.
They usually are not used in the
final production, but are merci-
lessly dropped before the play
comes to Broadway, If it does.
Producers never openly warn
them of this possibility, but 1t
invariably, happens. Though act
ors who go into try-outS should
know better. they are optimistic
and hopeful of being retained.
Some have realized the futility
of hot summer rehearsals, doing
the other fellows dirty work at
little or no salary, with only
disappointment in the end.
Actors have concluded the only
chance the try-out chap has OF
being retained is If he is a per.
feet type for the role and will
continue in the fall for the same
summer salary. This is too long
q shot, he says.
II they could get even their
minimum salary during the try
outs, players wouldn't mind SO
much. There are many tricks to
the try-out. A producer with a
cheap part has a way Of cheap.
ening the actor instead Of the
part. If he only. wants to pay
$50 and the actor says his mini.
mum is 500, the producer will
ask him how long he has been
in the business. The actor men
tionS a long string Of plays and
the producer replies: What, you
have been on the stage that long
and only worth $100? am afraid
you are not equal to the role
Sometimes in this way an actor
gladly takes the part at the
producers price.
Some actors say their salary is
elastic, it has been very high
very low and is even now in
between.

LITTLE-"Sex Madness" the

AT MET

Bride of the Regiment" per
haus one of the most perfect
presentations to thus far grace
the sound and color picture pro
ductions, is showing at the Metro
poIitan Theater. Adapted from q
German operetta, "The Lady and
| the Rose" by Rudolph Schlanzer
and Ernest Welisch, Bride OF the
Regiment" combines an exquisite
ness Of direction and photography
with an excellence Of cast ana
story, which makes for a spark
ling and brilliant play.
Vivienne Segal, one OF the most
beautiful blonde actresses OF stage
or screen, possesses a delightfui
singing voice and q still more
charming speaking voice. Tne
gracious Vivienne Is perfect in
the portrayal Of q noble-woman
who would sacrifice her honor TO
save her husband.
Walter Pidgeon, perhaps, takes
an even greater share OF the
acting honors as Col. Vultow,
commander Of the enemy Aus
trianS. Handsome, dashing. clever,
scheming, he constantly enlists
the admiration and sympathy Of
the audience. A wonderfully
modulated voice in both his read
ing of the lines and his singing
Of several songs, Pidgeon displays
such an artistry and charm as to
place him well in the foremost
ranks of operatic screen stars.
Ford Sterling does an excellent
comedy bit, but Louise Fazenda,
his partner in the banter, Is bor-
ing. Allan Pryor'S song Is an out
standing feature, and Myrna 10y

The entire picture is in techni-
color, and the photography Is
notably good. The music, though
not possessing any unforgettable
qualities, is nevertheless tuneful,
adding a zest and SmoothneSS.

MACKAILL HAS
GOOD FARCE

"The Flirting Widow" Dorothy
Mackaill's latest, is the Earle'S
bid for the banishing Of the blues,
Just one glance at the title and
you know that you are going to
see a picture in which the lead
ing girl has more complications
to elude than even the best OF
our stock of real widows.
They say dead men tell no
tales. But. girls, first be sure
that they are dead. For when
the older sister in an old En-
glish family decides to acquire a
husband without the formality of
marriage, things really begin to
happen.
Claude Gillingwater, who is
ever irritable, and the more irrit'
able he gets the better you like
him, is the father who will not
let the younger daughter marry
before her sister.
Dorothy. however, invents a
fictitious Colonel Smith, on CO
lonial duty. He turns out to be
not so fictitious and comes tc
deny his death which the girl
had published as a means Of los
ing her husband"
Basil Rathbone is the Colone,
Smith, and a suave one, too, yoU
may be sure. The short subjects
include a newsreel, Evolution,
the progress of the movies from
the time of the Great Trair
Robbery" up to now, and a Bra
lillian overture-"Il Guarani." BY
Gomez, which is played IN nonol
of the visit Of the Brazilian pres
