Mae West's S
Lurid Play
Arrives

Monday evening at the Shu-
bert-Belasco Theater, Mae West
will open q weeks engagement
here in her latest Broadway sue
cess, THE Constant Sinner" The
play is a dramatization Of her
own novel by the same name
which has attained the ranks Of
q "best seller" and is now in its
tenth edition. Coming directly
from a long run at the Royale
Theater in New York, Miss West
makes her first bow to Washing
ton as the star of her own play.
Plays Shining Sister
Babe Gordon, heroine of "The
Constant Sinner" as played by
Mae West, is a glamorouS crea-
ture Of the metropolis bizarre
night life. Her striking beauty
makes her the cynosure Of all
eyes-especially the gentlemen's
eyes, and relentlessly she casts
her spell upon all those who
arouse her interest. Faithful to
no one but herself. she chooses
and discards her companions
without a moments hesitation-a
constant sinner. constant only to
sin.
It is the type of part which
Miss West first created number
of years ago in another Of her
own plays entitled Sex" and
which she found so successful she
has been playing ever since.
There are hundreds of Babe
Gordons" throughout the world
and as bad women interest Mae
West more than good ones. she
has chosen to dramatiZe them in
her plays.
Dazzling Wardrobe
Miss West, always heralded as
one of the best dressed women
on the American stage today, has
a number of foreign creations
that she wears in THE Constant
Sinner" which will undoubtedly
arouse the envy of the feminine
portion of her audiences. Her
rather usual, golden-blonde
beauty lends itself to a variety of
colors and the latest gowns which
Dame Fashion has decreed for
this season are particularly be-
coming to Miss West.
There is a very large support

ANDREW KELLEY its demonStra-
ton that the makeup art of Lon
CLANCY survives, cleverly con-
trived to build up excitement.
AS a convincing screen nara
tive, "Frankenstein" is as bogus
as the boogey man legend which
frightens tinid children after
twilight. While the monster was
at large on the Rialo screen yes
erday afternoon, his cultural
sounds and terrible presence in
spired as much mirth as terror.
You watched it, wondering what
new tricks the director would
devise to make you shrek and
tremble.
Beyond Control
"Frankenstein, as the literary
minded probably know well, tells
of the scientist who became OBJ
sessed with an idea he could
create life without God. His ex-
periments with cadavers finally
produce a monstrosity in the
shape of a man in which re-
poses the diseased brain of a
criminal. This synthetic crea-
ton into which life is breathed
becomes an unmanageable and
savage product, which turns on
its creator and all but kills him.
Colin Give plays the Teutcnic
scientist with an English accent
a. foot thick and without distinc-
tion. John Boles contributes an
other expressionless example of
stilted acting. Mae Clarke sup
plies the romantic interest and
handles a light role capably.
KarlOff Is Monster
To Boris Karloff is assigned
the task of serving as monster.
His ghastly disguise is supple
mented by strange growls and a
menacing amble which completely
serves the purpose. Oddly enough,
Frederick Kerr-miscast as Baron
Frankenstein-with his marked
Picadilly accent. contributed the
best acting. Edward Van Sloan
as DR.. Waldman makes minor
role stand out. Lionel Belmore
is excellent as the burgomaster.
James Whales direction is
moving and evenly paced. al.
though his mob scenes are OF
1920 vintage, with all of his
actors acting in unison. Frank
enstein" has been photographed
with skill and can take its place
with such weird fairly fables as
''The Gorilla" and "Dracula."
The supplementary program
has a good Torchy comedy and
the Graham MacNamee news reel
gets laughs out of a Sing Sing
football game. Borah Minevitch's
comedy is as labored and painful
on the screen as it is on the
stage. so his Paramount short
film is a complete bore.

Molnar's delightful comedy "The

week at the Columbia yesterday.
A gay farce becomes slightly
ridiculous on the screen but the
absurdity Is greatly overcome
under the able handling of AL
fred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne
and the incompatible Roland
Young.
The change from footlights to
kleigs is detrimental but Lunt and
Fon ia nne romp so joyfully
through it and with such sheer
pleasure and Roland Young and
his delicate nuanceS of humor are
so nicely unobtrusive that the sill

usual portrayal of a thorough in,

with them and then when they
are grown to full estate She
excuses their neglect of her and
remembers only their need OF
her in their baby days.
Mae Marsh Succeeds
The transition of Mae from
the hard-working care-worn young
mother to the frail but ever
busy little old lady who is sent
to the county poor house by a
hypocritical and miserly eldest
son is entirely convincing; she
lives the part with perfect ease
and her joy and pride in the
return of her one dependable boy
are moments of beauty.
The cast includes the popular
Jimmie Dunn, a sunny-natured
boy who plays his best type in
this screen-play; Sally EilerS, as
his sweetheart, sympathetic and
understanding from childhood; !;
James .irkwood as the worth
less father who failed to put his
shoulder to the wheel; Joan

When Experts Fail


Mr.. M. L. Malevinsky is such
a man. He has won some of
the biggest plagiarism cases
that were ever brought before
the courts in this country. He
will certainly occupy a promi-
nent spot in my article when I
turn it out.
I've kidded Mr.. Ma1evinsky
about this before, but I know
he will not mind if I do it
again. This great attorney is
a recognized authority on all
things theatrical. He has been
studying the art of playwright
ing for many, many years. And
if there is anything he doesn't
know about the game it can't
be particularly worth knowing.
In addition, the lawyer is the
author of a book that tells you
exactly how to write a play.
If 1 remember that book cor
rectly, it tells you of several
underlying formulas which must
be applied to the construction
of a plot. without these, in
sists Mr.. Malevinsky, the show
cannot succeed. With them,
there is a strong chance of
success.
A few years ago, Mr.. Male
whisky made a great mistake.
He took his vast knowledge Of
the technique of the stage and
decided to employ it to further
advantage. He, too, wrote a
play. A complete, full-length,
actual play.
What happened to the attOr-
ney'S play will be the end Of

performed on the stage because
it was completely unplayable!
SqueIching Retort
A true story-and a splendid
one-is related by Jack Haley
about a chorus girl who was
asked to attend a wild party
when her show was on the
road. The producer was one of
those birds who loves to cater
to names and money. And
when the chlorine said she
didn't care to go to the party,
the producer informed her she'd
be out of a job unless she did.
So the girl was compelled to go.
A collegiate brat, with far
more money than brains, picked
this girl as his own. After
two or three drinks he began
to paw her. When she re-
pulsed him, he grew angry.
Jaw. quit your Stalling," he
cried nastily. "All girls have a
price. What's yourS?"
The chlorine looked him
straight in the eye.

she asked evenly.
The following aftern 90 n,
when she reached the theater,
she found a huge basket of
flowers and a sincere note of
apology from the boy.
