His Last Notice

Smiling Jimmy" Hughes is no
more. I call him Smiling
Jimmy" because the former treas
urer at Polls and up to his last
illness the ShubertBelasco's treas
urer, always had a cheerful coun-
tenance for those who patronized
his ticket windows. He was my
answer to those who sometimes
contend all box office men are
grouches. Jimmy always kept his
smile even when the customer
was wrong. He had one of those
rare happy dispositions.
It's a long time since the World
War and yet, Jimmy Hughes died
a martyr to that conflict. Some
where while in the uniform Of
Uncle Sam overseas he contracted
the glandular ailment from which
he died. A long and patient suf-
ferer, he never lost that cheerful
smile which all first night regu-
lars remember.
The theater will miss Jimmy
Hughes because he was a model
of courtesy and kindness in his
relations to the public. To those
who knew him we'll another brave
warrior has passed on. Peace
to his ashes.

Walter Hampden
Coming Here
October 6

An unusually large mail order
sale is keeping the box office Ct
the National Theater busy for
the engagement Of Walter Hamp-
den, Fay BANTER and an all-star
cast including Effie Shannon and
Sydney Greenstreet who will be
seen in the revival of Sir James
M. Barrie's THE Admirable
Crichton" for five nights be-
ginning next Tuesday, with the
usual Wednesday and Saturday
matinees. The seat sale starts at
the box office ON Thursday.
Washington is the sixth city to
be visited by this aggregation as
r rt of a transcontinental tour
which will cover some 35
States in association with the
campaign to restore the Gheatri-
cal road. This company and pro-
duction is regarded as the most
important to tour this season and
while the cost is tremendous, it
is believed by the campaigners
and George C. Tyler, who spon.
sors it, that it so completely fills
the demands of the drama lovers
outside of New York that the
huge expense can be overcome.
THE Admirable Crichton" was
originally played in the United
States with William Gillette in
the title role some % years ago.
1t has never been revived by a
representative company since
owing to the cost of production
and the difficulties Of casting the
cameo-like roles.

Fred Burns Was
Camera Actor
In 1907
By HARRISON CARROLL

iCOpyflgnL, 1851, FTSutSE
HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 30.-Many
of the most interesting charac.
ters in Hollywood never attain
the brief glory of the spotlight.
Fred Burns is an example. No
ripple Of excitement greeted the
news that the veteran actor
would play the sheriff in
"Freighters Of Destiny" at RK-O-
Pathe.
Yet Mr.. Burns happens to be
the man who played the sheriff
in 1.-THE Great Train Robbery"
the first feature length motion
picture ever made. That 1000
foot film, with it's hard-riding
chase scenes, prepared the way
for all the Westerns that we're to
come; indeed, for all the pictures
of any kind.
Burns fell into his first sheriff
role, because he happened to be
in Chicago in 1907 with strand
ed Wild West show. He could
ride and he could muster a
troupe Of horses and men.
That was "a years ago. Since
that time Burns has played hun
dreds of sheriffs for motion pic.
lures. when I got to 200 I
stopped counting" he declares.
It happens that none of these
parts were in important pictures
The spotlight has overlooked this
actor. He has one unique dis
tinction, however. He was the
first white boy born in Fort
Keoha, Mont.
The Washington times., 1931-09-30


The situation, though, was
more unusual than the reason
for Georges actions. The reason,
as you undoubtedly surmise, is
one of the oldest in the world.
The man became q woman hater
because a woman handed him a
shock that scared his soul.
It was all very simple. A sweet
guy and a trusting one, he went
about with q girl for a year and
then became engaged to her. He
planned everything for the two
Of them, and he worked and
saved accordingly.
Oh, what's the use Of going
into details? You understand.
Although he had plenty Of op-
portunities, he never looked at
another girl. He had the one
he wanted, and that was all he
knew. If you had suggested an
outing with another woman, he
would have turned you down
very coldly. And If you had so
much as intimated that his
sweetheart was going out with
other men, 1 think he would
have killed YOU.
The Washington times., 1931-09-30
Hollywood Target

George Nieberg saw "Once In
a Lifetime" at tie Belasco last
night and I wonder what he was
thinking. For one Of the big
companies bought one of his
screen stories a year ago and up
to date he has never been able
to discover what they Cd with it..
Bill Uullman, Ted Clarke, Col.
Frank P. Morse and Charlie Nc
Clintock were among those saw
chuckling at the spectacle of
Hollywood harpooned on Monday
night. Bill Ullman thought the
playwrights were cruel with the
character of the chatter writer.
Incidentally Guthrie McClintic
checks in with the latest chapter
in the strange history Of the film
The Washington times., 1931-09-30

Thus it happened that
George became a woman hater.
It is hard to believe that a
man would go to such ex.
tremes, because time is sup
posed to heal all wounds.
Georges case must have been
the exception that proved the
rule. Because as time marched
along he became all the more
bitter with each passing year.
He would never go to the
home Of a married friend. If
some Of his pals succeeded in
dragging him to q party, he
always stood in a corner with
a few of the men. If a lady
swallowed too much juice of
the grape and attempted to
make him dance, it was ten
to one that he would be gone
from the party in five min
uteS.

Plenty of folks insisted that George was not quite
normal They pointed out the fact that, although he
was 80 years of age and single, he wanted
the company of woman. When girl approached him
and wanted to be friendly everybody knew that George
would Immediately insult her and walk off. Small
wonder the folks thought that the just

Those who understood, however, pted the man and
attempted to help him. If he rejected their help-and

Why, they never even panned him behind his back.
