NEWS-GOSSIP
OF RADIO
WORLD
BY BROADCASTER

Can it be that the radio is
finding a new audience for grand
opera? 1t seems like it for the
Washington season with the
Metropolitan songbirds which be-
gins tonight shapes up the most
prosperous in the city's history.
Peter Ibettson," the closing
opera, has been sold out for a
week and there are only scat
tering seats left for tonight's
"Tosca" and Wednesday matt
nee's "Mignon."
All of these opera stars have
been heard by air and Lawrence
Tibbett has vocalized for the
films. So it must seem that
utilizing every medium for dis
playing their wonderful talents,
only stimulates the interest of
more folks to see these great
artists in person.
The circus is the latest amuse-
ment industry to concede that a
broadcast of sawdust happenings
does not reach unfavorably at
the box office. Only baseball
now remains with a mid-Victorian
view about the microphone. Con-
ME Mack won't let his home
games go out direct from the
park and Clark Griffith also
frowns on a Mike" in the press
box. I think they make a mis-
take and in due time will discover
it. Meanwhile loud speaker ad-
diets can thank the magnates for
making an exception of the open
ing day festivities.
They are footing Charles Luke
as the most promising entertainer
uncovered by the local studios IN
some time. He is on the Wilkins
Coffee Hour over WRC Satur-
days and very soon will be heard
twice weekly.
Singularly enough he took an

COLBERT CAN
LAUGH WHILE
SHE TALKS

One of the very few screen
actresses who can laugh and talk
simultaneously is Claudette Col
bert. The compliment is paid her
by the sound technicians who re-
corded on the new noiSeleSS
equipment during the filming of
Honor Among Lovers" now cur
rent at Loew's Palace Theater.
This accomplishment, which
distinguishes Miss Colbert from a
great majority of actresses, is a
difficult trick, according to c. A.
Tuthill, monitor man on the new
offering.
It is an accomplishment border
ing on a gift, claims Tuthill, to
chuckle as Claudette does, at the
same time you speak your lines.
And it adds a spontaneous quality
that continues uninterrupted be-
cause what might be called the
synchronization of Miss Colbert'S
voice and mind.
Miss Colbert laughs the lines,
whereas another actress would
put the laugh or chuckle before or
after the words" Tuthill said.
when Miss Colbert is playing a
gay scene she actually laughs the
words"
Tho commoner practice is to
chuckle first and then merely
carry the momentum of hilarity in
ones voice while speaking the
lines. But Miss Colbert puts the
chuckle right into the words and
molds her gayety with her speech
into a more accurate and charm
ing characterization.

KELLY DRAMA
OFFERED BY
PLAYERS
By ANDREW r. KELLEY


George Kelly's latest play, Phil
lip Goes Forth" an interesting lit
tie comedy drama with a frank
message for aspiring authors, was
given its first stock production
last night with the National Play
erS being accorded the distinction
Of making the presentation.
Perhaps no play written by one
of the foremost contemporary
playwrfghtS has excited such con
troversy as the latest product of
the Kelly typewriter. Critics di
vide on its merits as a play. the
affirmative-to which party /
bear allesiance-finding interest
and solid merit in contrasting
types and highly effective dialogue;
the negative finds the Kelly flair
for deft characterization sub.
merged in rather vigorous effort
to sermonize for the embryo
Eugene O'Neill.
AuU1CuCCS AAkC ~
Audiences continue to like the
play regardless of critical de-
bate and profound analysis. AS
presented by the Players last
night it offered a worthy effort
by a fine repertoire company
dealing in drama with a mini
mum of action and depending
much upon compelling speech.
Briefly, phillip Goes Forth"
tells of the aspiring young play
wright who deserts his fathers
business for the precarious ven
ture of conquering Broadway.
Some of his collegiate pals have
impressed him with the idea he
has a faculty for discerning dra-
matte values in the life which
, flows around him, a sense of
writing rhythm, spiritual content
and other hi-falutin' qualities
which spell success for the drama
tist. His father thinks it all a
lot of nonsense, an adoleScent
whim that should be crushed. So
Phillip goes forth.
Phillip Wakes Up
In six months he is diSillu-
stoned and discovers that creative
genius recognizes no obstacle. A
hard-crusted but experienced
boarding house mistress shows
him he is catering to a silly
vanity, that he is really cut out
for business and not playwriting.
And so Phillip goes home.
Phillip is a very human and
likeable character and the youth
full John Warburton invested his
acting of the role with heavy
appeal. Stanley Ridges was i'm
mense as "Tippy Schronck," a
literary poSeur and critical sham
whose boguSneSS was made highly
amusing. Roberta Beatty had
the difficult role of Aunt Mar.
1an," character whose main
mission was to lend the Sympa-
thetic ear Of a good listener and
she was Thoroughly delightful
in the part.
MiddIe-aged Leneta
This week the comedy plum is
handed to Leneta Lane who
Stimulates middle age and makes
juicy lines and business in the
script count as they should.
Maude Howell Smith played the
dreamy idealistic poet (Giss
KraiD with fine understanding of
the playwright'S purpose and
Raymond Bramley as the hard
boiled business man was convinc-
ingly cast. Mrs. Hibbard, Edward
Poland, Forrest Orr and Daphne
Warren-Wilson enacted the other
important roles.
Clifford Brooke supplied COM
petent direction and, as usual,
the sets provided by Charles
SQuireS are impreSSively effective.
