"DrdcuLd" Is Coming
Here On February 23

"Dracula," coming to the Be
lasco, February %, is based on a
strange superstition that turks in
certain countries of middle Eu
rope relative to ghostly vampires
beings of a neither world who
exist on a sanguinary diet, Sc
cured by drawing the blood from
the necks of their victims.
In the old legends they were
supposed to prey on human kind,
and to go on existing for cen
turies by virtue of their predatory
activities. No vampire actually
died but remained an animate
corpse, taking various shapes and
forms at night and returning each
day to sleep within the place OF
interment.
The cast presenting "Dracula"
is headed by Courtney White as
Count Dracula" and includes
Maurice Morris, Edward Forbes,
William Melville, William Olathe
Miller, Arnold Day, MarCella Gau-
del, and Alfredo Sill.

THOMAS GIVES
FINE SONG
RECITAL

Possessed of a grand voice and
an engaging personality, John
Charles Thomas, the Chicago
Civic Opera baritone, sang some
thing simple" Saturday night at
Constitution Hall.
The audience was quite capti-
waited by the genial baritone and
made up in enthusiasm what it
lacked in numbers. So slim was
the attendance, in fact, that the
singer, in taking his final bow,
urged those present to return next
time he appeared "and bring a
friend"
Unlike many concert artists.
Mr.. Thomas has the knack of
getting close to his audience. He
breaks up his recital with what
he calls. speeches" "a m u S n g
chats about the numbers that
are to follow. His songs are JOY
Gus refrains, with now and then
an aria to lend the concert a
serious tone.
Among the best enjoyed num-
berS were Richard Strauss "Ruhe,
Meme Seele," Pessard'S Requiem
du Coeur," Hugo VOLTS Helm
weh," David Guinon's Home on
the Range" Michael Heads
when l Think Upon the Maid
enS," "Gwine to Hebb'n" by
Jacques Wolf. and "Prier du
Soir," a child reciting an evening
prayer to his nurse. For one of
his encores Mr.. Thomas sang his
own version of the popular "OId
Man River"
Mr.. Thomas shared honor5
with his accompaniSt, Lester
Hodges, who also played several
enjoyable solo numbers

the scenes up with a story, as was
done SO successfully in Trader

Incidentally M-G-M is said to

this comedy success, he is te-
male lmpersonator who chaperonS

ingly with Tibbett's robust bari
tone.
The singing of the New Moon"
vocal hits-"Lover Come Back to
Me-" Wanting You" and others
is the factor which lifts the
picture away above its musical
comedy plot of a lieutenant who
fell in love with a princess and,
in the last, won her hand and
heart.
But Adolphe Menjou and the
whimsical Roland Young are
big help to the matchmaking
principals. Gus Shy, who was
in the cast of the stage produc-
ton, and Emily Fitzroy also lend
a hand to helping the story
over its dry spots.
Fast Stage Bill
There are some excellent action
pictures of a night raid on a
Turkoman camp in the noun
tains, and the photography
throughout is above the average
The sound was not all it could
have been, although the voices
of the stars registered flawlessly.
The stage program, "Rackets
of 1881" featuring JAMS and
Whalen, two clever entertainers.
was consistently lively and full
of good talent-especially dancing
talent. Several Specialties and
a novelty performance by the
Chester Hale girls kept the show
going at a mile-a-minute clip. A
Laurel and Hardy comedy, mostly
about the difficulty of removing
boots, and the newsreel COM
pleted the bill.-J. I. M.

Jerri McCauley
Is Gayety Star

"Girls a la Carte" with Jerri
McCauley as the dessert. and
Benny (Wop) Moore and Doris
Birmingham, as appetizers, is the
feature of the menu offered by
the Gayety this week.
The show is neither outStand-
ing nor below the average. 1t
has a well-trained chorus and a
good comic in Benny Moore. The
added kick, of course is Jerri
McCauley, of whom the patrons
never tire. Doris Birmingham is
the runner-up for honors among
the feminine performers, although
she is given a close race by Sally
Van.
Among the better features of
the show are the several scenes
in which the Perry Twins and
their girl friend, Taria, dance.
The boys version of a dancing
boxing match is classic in its
line, and is really worth going
far to see.
Belle White and Gaby Fields
dance quite a number Of times
and are we'll received. Lew Lewis
is the second comic, both in bill
ing and in ability. Ralph Poe,
straight man, would be hard to
improve upon.

Newman Talks
Oberannergau

Picturesquely nestled in the
valley of the Ammer, where the
stately snow-capped Tyrols hem
, it in, is this quaint and yet world
famous hamlet of Oberammergau,
the locale Of the Passion Play,
which proved the subject E. M.
Newman selected in the third of
his current lecture course at the
National Theater yesterday after
noon.
1t is quite singular, too, that
in this quaint Bavarian city,
dwell probably the worlds most
= fervent and devout Christians;
people whose very lives from the
cradle to maturity are the acme
Of spiritual zeal, of constant
prayer and sacrifice in the hope
that some day each may be en-
trusted the role of ChriStuS for
boyS) and Mother Mary, for girls,
in the portrayal of this great
biblical epic, which is presented
every 10 years.
There is an interesting story
that concerns this Passion Play,
which dates back three or four
centuries and the citizenry
Of Oberammergau have conScien-
tiously fulfilled that VOW made
by forebears during the period of
a great plague, until today it
has grown into gigantic proper
tionS that the world at large
seems highly interested in this
decade drama.
NOncOmmercial Aspect
These sincere people refuse to
commercialize this spiritual under
. taking in spite of fabulous sums
offered them by an American Gin
ema company to photograph the
play. The actors, mostly peasants,
who portray the various roles are
chosen by committee. who make
q thorough survey of the lives of
each of the participants, and to
be drafted for the cast is conSid
cred rare privilege. Age is an
element that is not considered,
some of the thespians being we'll
past the fourscore mark.
Most of the players earn their
, livelihood by means of the art of
wood carving and many marvel
Gus designs of chiSel chaft liter
ally adorn the village. Works of
biblical significance are para
mount, of course, although one
sees displayed in the souvenir
shops fancy objects of peculiar
pattern. Oberammergau today
boasts of theater with a seating
capacity of nearly 5000, erected
from the receipts derived from the
play, while another portion there
of is allotted to the city for the
general improvement and upkeep.

LUPE VELEZ ing, childish ka-
tuSha, Dmitri follows the dictates
of his fellow officers in making a
name for his regiment, name
which is symbolized in their song
Come and On With Romancing,
For War Tomorrow May Stop Our
Dancing" On a brief visit to his
home, the guardSman finds the
peasant girl as lovely as ever and
carelessly accepts her love as he
has been won't to do and after his
departure tragedy stalks the girl
until at last she is on her way to
Siberia, convict, but following
along that frozen path is Dmitri
bent on serving this woman who
opened his eyes to true values.
Subsidiary Program
John Boles and Lupe Velez
seem miscast in the leading roles;
hardly preci ative of the
dramatic demands of the play,
though Lupe scores more heavily
than John. In support are Nance
O'Neill, Rose Tapley, Grace
Cunard and Noel Francis. Edwin
CareWe, who directed both the
silent and this audible version
of Resurrection" gave his best
talents to the former.
Subsidiary features inclu d e
another of the Fitzpatrick music
series. Johann Strauss this time;
a Hollywood comedy with Eddie
Nugent and a Universal news
reel with Graham McNamee tell
ing us all about everyday hap
penings. Otto Beck at the Wur-
liter rounds out the bill.-K. Y.
