Know One Another.

IRVING CUMMINGS, well known in
L Washington from the old Garrett
stock company days, who directed
Cameo Kirby" which was recently
completed on the Fox Movietone lot,
has established what seems to be some
thing of precedent in introducing
the members of his cast one to another
at the beginning of a production.
"I found" says Cummings, that the
usual policy of assembling cast most
of whom did not know the director,
nor one the other, and plunging into
the routine of production with them,
caused an unpleasant restraint that
often led to Irritating incidents and
seriously hampered the filming.
Since the observance of social IN
PRODUCTION served so well in Cameo
Kirby I'm adopting it as permanent
custom for all my productions" Which
would seem to indicate that handshak-
ing around the lot is to be a permanent
appendage to the dull routine OF the
grease-paint life in the movies after

"A MUSICAL show" says George
IA White, succeeds or fails on the
strength of its music. 1t is difficult for
playgoers to take comedy away with
them, but If the tunes are catchy and
original in conception, those who see
the show sing, whistle and hum the
numbers. Others who haven't seen the
show hear the melodies, make inquiries
as to what show the songs are to be
found and the result is a constant flow
of new customers.
"All producers know the truth of this,
yet the most difficult thing confronting
the manager is to select songs that will
become popular. Picking melodies is
not an easy task, for the songs that
sound good to you may not stand up in
the show. The. job, then, is to use an
intuitive sense that somehow brings you
to the right selection. If you go wrong,
your show naturally suffers. If, how
ever, you have chosen rightly, your show
becomes one of the big successes.
"I try to weigh the songs for my
shows on several standpoints. There
are such things as production numbers
and there are others you hope will be-
come the talk of the town. It is these
latter songs that require extraordinary
attention. The song must be gagged
only from the audiences standpoint,
for very often the melody you dote on
is too intricate to be easily memorized
by your audience. II will be seen,
therefore, that music is so important

Amos n Andy.

THE news that Amos N Andy have
signed a contract to appear in the
talkies seems to have struck the four
corners of the globe with the same
impetus that the Declaration of indie
pendence or the Boston Tea Party hit
the American colonies. At any rate,
the offices of Radio Pictures are said to
have changed suddenly from the COM
parative quiet of well modulated Sobri-
ETY. to something like a rough-house Of
joy. And the principal impresarios OF
this company have been smoking cigars
and dining at the Ritz ever since.
All of which is perhaps incidental to
the fact that the name of their first
talkie is likely to be Check and Double
Check" and that Amos N Andy are
the first radio stars to step from the
broadcasting studios to stardom In talk
ina pictures.

Hampden's Hamlet.

DURING his seven consecutive years
as an actor-manager in New York,
managing and directing his own the
alter, Walter Hampden has produced
and appeared in seven of Shakespeare's
plays: Hamlet" Macbeth" "Othello,"
1.-THE Merchant of Venice" 1.-THE Tam
ing of the Shrew," Romeo and Juliet"
and king Henry ""
Mr.. Hampden first played Hamlet at
the age of Is years. He had been play
ing Iaertes to the Hamlet OF H. B.
Irving, who suddenly became Ill, and
Hampden stepped into his place-the
youngest Hamlet ever to have appeared
on the London stage.
He played the role for week ana
made so profound an impression by his
Interpretation that A. B. Walkley, the
celebrated London critic, after seeing
his performance, wrote: 1.-THE acting
of Walter Hampden is the most sig
nificant development in the English
theater since the advent of Forbes
Robertson"
Subsequently. Mr.. Hampden played
special engagement as Romeo IN Glas-
gov with such success that very lin
tied engagement was extended to IL
weekS-a British record for Romeo and
Juliet" to this day.

How EVELYN Won Out.

EVELYN WILSON has spent 16 of
- her 81 Summers amusing audiences
behind the footlights.
At the age of S, while visiting local
'nickelodeon'' in Chicago, her native
city, she was induced by the proprietor
to sing from the stage. Her reward
was a bag of candy and a half dollar.
The reception given her by the audi
ence, however, was such that she has
been on the stage ever since.
With her sister, Miss Wilson has
played in vaudeville houses from coast
to coast. She then appeared in series
of musical comedies in motion picture
houses throughout the country.
She owes her appearance in Scan
dals" to George Whites strolling into
a picture theater and becoming so in
terested in her-Miss Wilson was sing
ing there at the time-that he signed
her I'D Immediately. -

who has written song. Her effort Is not
so good, but the conceited young man
combines parts of it with song of his
own and thinks he has a hit. His atti-
tude in trying to convince the pub
fishers loses him his job. He and the
girl then team up in a vaudeville act,
where they are successful. They are
asked to join a Broadway show, and
prove to be the hits of the production.
Success begins to go to the young mans
head. He forgets his partner in his
attentions to society woman who is
interested in him because he is "such a
clown" Then he drinks poisoned liquor
and loses his eyesight. His girl partner
Is kept in ignorance of it and continues
alone in the show. One night he hears
her sing the song they once sang to-
gether, and then something else hap
pens.

CEASrDE PARK is rapidly rising to

at Chesapeake Beach. The old board
walk has been completely torn away,
and the beach landscape, it is an
nounced, will be much improved when
the new season opens.
A spacious new dance hall, we'll I'M

near the beach to catch the cool
breezeS that come in from the water,
and near it will be constructed the
largest swimming pool north of Miami,
with graduated depth to make emf oy-
ment of water sports possible to SWIM
mers of all degrees of experience. New
rides and concessions also will be much

Elaborate plans are under way for
the beach this year. The new motor
road will shorten the distance from
Washington considerably, and improved
service via the Chesapeake Beach Rail
way will make the park readily Access

Ealzac wrote a tale, "Un Menage de
Garcon," which inspired Emile Fabre
to make a comedy of it, which, in turn
provoked Paul Potter to AmericaniZe It.
For years it served popularity as the
prize piece in Otis SINNERS repertoire.
1t was last seen in Washington five
years ago with Mr.. Skinner in the role
OF the blustery Col. Brideau.
Returning from one of the many Ma
poleonic sieges, Col. Brideau discovers
his uncle's menage in the care OF an
INSCRIPTIONS woman and her design
ing escort The uncle, weak and feeble,
has no resistance to offer against this
forceful pair and, before Col Brideau
appears on the scene, it seems that the
family wealth is about to be dissipated
to the advantage of the Schemers. The
tactics invoked by the boisterous Bril-
deau supply two hours of the solidtst
merriment possible.
Walter Gilbert will have the support
