ATTRACTIONS
ON WAY TO
THEATERS

Death Takes a Holid ay,"
which is the underlined attrac-
tion for the National Players, is
an Italian fantasy from the pen
of Alberta Casella, who had zone
grand idea"
As the title might imply, there
is nothing gruesome in the play.
Just the opposite. It means that
if death ever took a day off" )"
everything would be lovely, and
the goose honking high.
In this case, Death, the old
master, decides to have a holiday
"a vacation-and while he leaves
his post everything goes along
merrily on its way. Instead of
this being a tragedy that might
awe the theatergoer, it is just
the opposite. One that will give
a welcome relief from the work
a-day world.
For here is a chance to Wis
ualize the world as it might be
without any such person as
Death. The Old Man is taking
a holiday.
Constance Bennett, RK-O-
Pathe star of "Sin Takes a Holi-
day." comes to R-K-O-Keith's
Theater the week starting May
l, in a new picture, Born to
Love-" written for her by Ernest
Pascal, author of best sellers, and
directed by Paul L. Stein. In
the supporting roles are Joel
McCrea, Paul Cavanagh and
Louise Closer Hale.
Trader Horn" is the next
feature production booked for
showing at Loew'S Columbia
Theater. This production which
was recently shown at the Ma
tional Theater at 50 prices will
be brought to the Columbia in
it's entirety at no advance in
prices. Harry Carey and Edwina
Booth have the leading roles.
"The Secret Six" with Wallace
Beery in the leading role, will be
the feature attraction at Loew's
Palace Theater next Saturday.
This is a Cosmopolitan produc-
ton that has been hailed as the
most entertaining of all under
world pictures produced to date.
John Mack Brown has the lead
ing role in the supporting cast.
Next week rollicking burlesqTe
attraction comes to the Gayety
Theater on Ninth Street. None
other than Sam Raynor and his

STAGE PEOPLE
BIG HELP TO
CHATTERTON

AS an evidence of how the
talking picture has brought the
arts of the stage and screen
closely together, Paramount pre-
sents the cast Of "Unfaithful,"
now current at Loew's Columbia
Theater, whose author, director,
star and featured playe~s are all
former stage luminaries who in
terested themselves in cinema
making only after the advent of
talking pictures.
John Cromwell, the director,
was at the height of a successful
stage career when talking pic
lures tempted him. John van
Druten, the author, is the man
who wrote the stage sensation,
young Woodley." "Unfaithful"
is his first screen story. Ruth
Chatterton, the star, deserted the
stage when talking pictures beck
oned her to greater success.
Paul Lukas was a stage favorite
in Hungary; Paul Cavanaugh
starred in London and New York
stage hits. Juliette Compton
was musical comedy favorite.

Glen Echo Park
Opens May 9

If anybody doubts that spring
is indeed here, the announcement
that Glen Echo Park will swing
wide its hospitable gates on Sat
urday, May 9, should dispel such
doubt.
The big park opens with more
improvements than can be de-
scribed IN a short space, but
which will, in all probability, be
well touted in the future.
Among the new things are the
Grand canyon scenic "Old Mill, !"
installed at a cost of $4,000; a
thrilling "Dodgem" ride, with 20
cars, and front wheel drive; a
brand new shooting gallery, said
to be the finest in America; new.
and more thrilling dips to the
coaster; additions to the zippy
whip, etc. The entire park,
from top to bottom now shines
like a good deed.
Work was started on the park
last October by a large force of
men under the direction of Jo-
seph S. Hart, park superintendent
in association with Park Director
Leonard B. Schloss, now enter
ing his twenty-first year as amuse-
ment purveyor of summer fun
features at Glen Echo.

it, the eternal WARNER bAAiE"
cry of doctors wives.
And, should you find him with
a woman when he has sworn
that the patient is of the oppo-
site sex and lying on deaths
bed, as one young doctors wife
did, that complicates matters and
results in the screen attraction
current at the Fox.
The vehicle affords little op-
portunity for its two stars to dis
play their real ability as actors.
Joan Bennett, as the doctors
wife, has nothing to do but to
look beautiful, sweet and tragic.
The M. D. himself, Warner Bax-
ter, is just the very charming
doctor to whom women tell their
troubles. TheSpian honorS go
alone to Victor Varconi.
Roxy Gang On Stage
On the stage, Roxy's Gang lose
nothing by emerging from behind
the microphone to the footlights.
The gang includes Dorothy 9th
ems, Adelaide De Loca, Harold
Clyde Wright and John Griffin
and Helen Andrew, accompaniSt.
Fanchon and Marcos Condo
liers" Idea is very colorful and
reminiscent of the warm climes
of southern Italy. With Leon
Brusiloff's orchestra playing from
a gondola, the star of the stage
presentation is a young colored
acrobatic dancer, JazzlipS Rich
ardson. Intermingled with his
ability as a dancer, young Rich
ardson carries an effective stage
personality.
The Romeros, group of three
young boys and a man and
woman dancer, are graceful, and
Moro and Yaconelli, comic wiz
ards of the fiddle and accord
ian, do an effective imitation Of
"boo-boop-adoop Helen Kane. Ben
Ali's Blue Devils, with Slayman
Ali, tumble about the stage, and
the Sunkist Beauties complete a
delightful program. JAB.

WILL
DO BELASC0
SUCCESS

In so years of theatrical pro-
duction, David BelaSco never had
such q success as Its a Wise
Child" the comedy by Laurence
E. Johnson, which the National
Theater Players essay next week,
beginning Monday night, April
81.
"Tt's a Wise Child" was rated as
the greatest BelaSco success Of re-
cent years. No other play from
this workshop ever had such a
run. 1t went a full season on
Broadway-and two years on the
road. Everywhere the play ap-
peared it was acclaimed as "the
typical American comedy"
Hilarious Comedy
Belasco knows q play. He rated
this as the best that came to his
attention in many years. The Ma
tional Theater Players, in present
ing this comedy, start off with an
advantage.
Each and every character in
the script finds counterpart
amongst the histrionic ability of
the troupe assembled by S. E.
Cochran, manager, and Clifford
Brooke, director. In fact, the
players feel they will turn in
performance equal to the best
Broadway produced.
. "It's a Wise Child" is hilarious
comedy at its height. In this
case, the play is the thing. It
breathes the soul Of comedy. The
story is Of a young woman who
deliberately misrepresents her
moral status in order to evade an
unpleasant marriage.
With this promise, anything can
happen-and it does. Two hours
of full-flowing comedy follow one
simple little assertion. Upon one
sentence, a play is built. The
players have here their greatest
opportunity for comedy - and
Clifford Brooke, directing, believes
his charges will fulfill every
promise.

Optimistic Mr.. Schloss

Sure signs of an approaching
balmy season come with the an
nouncement that Glen Echo Park
will open for merry-makers on May
9. Leonard B. Schloss, Poo-bah
of the big amusement resort up
the river is looking forward to
a bang-up season since he has
just completed the last install
ment on a $25O,OOO swimming
pool. If he has a summer like
1880 he would be able to pay for
it all before Labor Dal arrives.
Nineteen-hundred and thirty
was a season amusement park
men will not forget soon. It
brought the biggest crowds in his
tory, due to prolonged fair and
rainless weather, but, sad to say,
most Of the folks only had car
fare or went out just for the
ride. They didn't spend.

Lisa Gardiner

Two Dance Recitals" are an
nounced by Lisa Gardiner, for
merly of the Pavlowa Ballet Russo,
and the Lisa Gardiner Dancers
for Saturday, May 16, afternoon
and evening, at Wardman Park
Theater. The art of the ballet is
the foundation of all Lisa Gar
diners art and as premiere
danseuse she is noted for her
toe work.
Miss Gardiner gave a solo re-
cital, in connection with Mar
jorie Lowe, soprano, at the Con-
gressional Country Club last Sun
day, presenting a Rondino Of

Lisa Gardiner on both programs.

T. Arthur Smith Concert Bureau.

"Death" Makes a Hit

"Death Takes a Holiday" Is n
play which would never select as
the ideal drama for stock COM
pany audiences. Yet it has been
q sensational business getter for
Producer George Sharp, who is
operating a stock company in
Pittsburgh.
Sharp was all ready to call it a
season and put on Death Takes a
Holiday" as his farewell play.
The box office response was ire
mendous, and he changed mis-
mind about putting up the shut
tiers. Instead, he ran Death" for
q second week, then a third, and
Is now thinking of giving a fourth
week to take care of the crowds.
This is all encouraging to I'M
pressario Cochran, the sage of E
Street, who has the play on his
schedule to open Sunday night,
May 3.
Incidentally. Producer Sharp
abandoned his Columbus (Ohlo)
stock company and the venture
was taken over by Edith King,
once an E Street favorite and
now director and leading woman
Of the Ohio troupe.

Chatterton Stays

One Of the terms of the Warner
Brothers-Paramount armistice is
that Ruth Chatterton remains
with the Zukor-Laskey organiza-
tion. Paramount assumes the
new contract which the star
signed with w. B. and she gets
the benefit of a substantial pay
raise.
Underneath is sad news for the
stars since it means that the
mad scramble for established
names with its consequent pay
roll pyramiding is out by Wall
Street order.
What the hardboiled stock and
bond tycoons could not under
stand was why Broadway actors
gding begging at $500 week a
few years ago were now able to
turn up their nose at $4,000 per
in Hollywood. The companies
passed the blame on to the smart
financial agents employed by the
stars and cutting in on the week
" pay envelope for a. substantial
percentage. The result was that
these wage jugglers have been
positively barred by one bis studio
and are restricted in others.

Bobby Jones on
Earle Program

Golf fans the world over will be
given an opportunity to watch
Bobby Jones, winner Of 13 major
championships, reveal for the
first time how he plays golf in
the first of his Vitaphone Short
Subjects, entitled, How I Play
Golf" now playing at Warmers
Earle Theater.
The first of the series is enti-
tied "The Putter." The shots in
this series will be done with the
same old clubs that he has used
at home and abroad. The co-star
in the first picture which is de-
voted to putting" will be Ca
lamity Jane. his famous putter.
The complete series of IL sub
jects will be shown at the Earle,
each illustrating the use of va
rious clubs, his grip, body mo-
tionS, ETC., in playing golf. An
entertaining human interest
story has been injected into each
of the pictures.

NOVELCAMERA
EFFECTS FOR
HAINES

Strange camera effects, on the
talking screen, seem to lend them
selves to almost any type scene.
In the case Of william Haines'
new picture, a tailor shop was
used to achieve some of the most
interesting moving camera" shots
in many months.
The shop is a store with a mez-
canine on which the tailors work,
and stairs coming down a front
door and sidewalk beyond.
The camera follows characters
up and down stairs, looks over work
benches, comes down again and
follows q character down stairs
and out of the front door. Intrf
cate mechanical appliances were
specially designed and used in
achieving this effect.
New York Scenes
These scenes were filmed in "a
Tailor Made Man." Metro-Gold-
wyn-Mayer's filmization Of the
stage play which is now current
at Loew's Palace Theater. It is
reported as being lifted romance
of big business, with Haines play
ing a tailor's assistant who rises
to a high pressure executive in a
great New York department store.
New York commercial life is the
roaring background for the story,
which interweaves comedy and
romance, offers a cure for bad
times and a few lessons in buSi-
ness principles as well.
Sam Wood, director of paid"
and other successful screen pro-
ductions is responsible for the
new HaineS' vehicle.

Irene Dunno Came
From ZienfeLd ShOD

Irene Dunno before joining
Radio Pictures in 1880 was a
prima donna of the New York
stage scoring in such hits as
Irene" "Springtime" and zieg-
fields "Show Boat"
Her first film was Leather
necking," her second "Cimarron,"
in one of the most sensational
roles of the film season. She not
only is talented in musical ways
but is a great dramatic actress.

Fish Flags U. S. Policy

While the patriotic D. A. r.
may censor the remarks of Repre-
sentative Hamilton Fish and elimi-
nate uncomplimentary remarks
about our State Department, the
legislator has his full say in he
news reel at .R-K.-O.-Keith's this
week.
What he says in substance is
that the United States turned tail
In N&aragua and put up the white
flag when the Sandino rebels
pressed hard. It's a blistering
short indictment of the Admins
tration policy and would have iDl-
pressed me more as near truth Il
it hadn't come from a spokesman
who sees a ''red" lurking in every
AmeriC an alley.
