He's an Optimist

About the theater all .Jolson
bulletins are optimistic. Wonder
Bar" has been collecting regular
and steady dividends, even in
Baltimore. He thinks there is
altogether too frequent use of the
word depression" and that it
would be better all around if
everybody dropped it.
Some readjustment and realign-
ment after the legitimate tneater
has passed the crisis and a big
ger and stronger and more pros
pereus industry is as certain as
tomorrow. He would like to see
it made easier for the producer
with a small bankroll who could
find plenty of idle actors willing
to take a chance if certain re-
strictions were removed.
He has 100 other ideas to help
the stage and the less fortunate
actors, for with all of his Holly
wood success. AL Jolson will al.
ways be of and by the stage. And,

Likes His Tips

Slightly moist are these rumors
that he will desert the musicals
and play next season in straight
dramas. For the simple reason
he doesn't feel he's cut out to be a
dramatic actor.
At the race track he is the
finest of company. He was sing
ing with the phonograph at Bowie
Monday afternoon and did he
root for "Pittsburgher" on which
he had a small wager. AS the
matter of fact the Jolson turf in
vestments are moderate these
days. Once upon a time, and this
is no fairy story, he bet $85, 900 on
a single race. And lost. Today
his mutuel speculations are meas
ured with $40 bank notes.
In the clubhouse and around
the paddock he is like every other
addict. Takes a tip from any
one and everyone. But he didn't t
take my tip on '"Tinita" which
paid $214 for So. Neither did I.
So couple of rail birds climbed
out of the Jolson 16-cylinderl au-
tomobile at dusk, clambered up
the hill near the Bowie entrance
and leaning against the white
washed fence saw "Tinita" turn
into the stretch three lengths in
front and running strong. Were
we blue?

$4,000 a year
Is Needed to
Dress Star
Bv HARRISON CARROLL

Copyright. 1881. Premier Syndicate)
HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 18.-What
price smartness?
Travis Banton. Paramount's
fashion designer, estimates that
the correctly dressed feminine
star spends $4,000 year on
wearing apparel. For a girl making
$1,500 a week over a 40-week
period, this would amount to one
sixth of her salary.
Of course, many stars go far
above Banton's budget. He is
trying to strike an average.
And what an average! Accord.
ing to his chart, the wardrobe
would need two smartly tailored
suits costing approximately $400.
Accessories such as blouSes would
add another $120. The star also
would want a half dozen knitted
sport dresses running about $210.
Then there would be one light
fur coat ($50O and a heavy fur,
mink for example ($3,O0O.
Since the star would be busy
most afternoons on the set, he
figures two or three dresses such
as ensembles would get her by.
On the other hand, she would
need at least 10 evening dresses
costing about $4,000. Also a fur
evening wrap, probably errnine,
which would run from $2,500 to
$4,000. Then two additional
wraps at $500 apiece.
After going through the entire
list-sport clothes, beach apparel,
informal dresses, shoes, stockings,
lingerie and hats. together with
bags, gloves, ETC., he first arrived
at a figure of $14,500. PAIRING
down prices, chiefly on the coats,
he finally set the cost of smart
ness at $4,000.
Or, going the other way, the
sky's the limit. Lupe Velez, for
instance, has IA fur coats.
Critical Moment
Jimmy "Schnozzle" Durante
claims to have heen very nervous
about announcing the stars as
they arrived at the premiere of
THE Champ"
when I was dressing tonight" "
he said, my wife suddenly asks
very sweetly, Are you going out?'
How humiliating! Turning g
around, I ups to her. Not COM
pletely,' I replied"

One Week

With the "FollieS" on the way,
Washington prepares for the big
gest thrill of the season. The
production opens here Monday
night, November 80.
When the "Follies" opened this
year on Broadway it become an
overnight sensation. To begin
with, it heralded Ziegfeld's re-
turn to his old love. While
Americas "glorifier of girlhood"
has produced some of the most
magnificent musical comedy ven-
lures Of the ages, he had made
his initial reputation with the
"Follies." So, when this edition
clicked, there was an immediate
run on the boXoffiCe.
Dancing Marvel
AS usual, Ziegfeld uncorked a
new discovery in his "Follie5"-
an old-established institution that
has brought out most of the stars
in the musical armament.
This year Hal LIE Roy was hailed
by the New York critics as the
premiere American tap dancer, an
artist who supplied Immediately
the loss suffered by the theater
when Jack Donahue answered his
final call, the curtain lowered on
his act forever. Not only that, not
only was LIE Roy hailed as the
equal of Donahue, but he was
placed far ahead of the other
celebrities of the tap dance-Bill
Robinson and Will Mahoney,
whose artistry had reached its
peak.
Open on Monday
Usually, musical shows open at
the National on Sunday nights, but
the Follies this year is such a stu,
pendous production that the open
ing is held over until Monday
night. Mr.. Ziegfeld's personal rep
resentative explains that it is i'm
possible to hang the show" which
means putting up the scenery and
all the detail of production, in less
than a day and half. It means
work in the National all day Sun
day and the best part of Monday.
The seat sale opens next Mon
day at 9 a. m. There will be no
mail or telephone orders.
