Barrie's Greatest

Speaking of the story I should
like to make a little wager right
now-I must speculate a little
that Sir James M. Barrie's
What Every Woman Knows" will
be the best picture Helen Hayes
ever made. And it's costume
story at that.
For the very good reason it was
crackerjack play for Maude
Adams, later in revival proved a
gold mine for little Miss Hayes

Its central character, Maggie
Wylie is a meek little mouse
with a great little brain. She
knows that it is her intellect and
judgment which is pushing her
husband along in English politics

A Favored Volume

1t will be one of my pleasant
tasks on a vacation which is fast
approaching to read Pearl S..
Bucks novel, The Good Earth, )"
a ponderous volume with a Chi
nese background, which seems to
be the one book the amusement
industry is crazy about just at
present.
So, while the sad sea waves
break on the white sands of At
lantic City, I hope to find out why
Hollywood paid 100000 for a
story it must hold on the shelf
for not less than 18 months. 1t
must lay the Buck book aside be-
cause the New York Theater
Guild has first rights on the story
and Owen Davis has completed
the stage version of the novel.

"ArroWsmith" as a story was
much greater than Ronald Col

became an unforgettable motion
picture. Because such a love story
as Austin Strong wrote in
Seventh Heaven" only required
its romantic tenderness trans
ferred to the screen to achieve
greatness for those lucky enough
to play Chico and Diane. Because
Edna Ferber's Show Boat" dis
closed what a terrible botch in

Years Were Generous

How have yuh been, Mark?"
asked mine host and old friend.
Pretty good" I lied.
The years have been gen.
erous with Eddie. His hair is
as black as it ever was, not a
thread disturbing the sickness
of his carefully plastered shock.
His pale blue eyes dance with
the joy of living. Oh, we'll, he
has always been an optimist.

Eddie shook his carefully
combed head. Nothing doing.
He was on the wagon. Hadn't
touched a drop for five years,
And wasn't going to touch it.
And he wasn't kidding.
IF you're seriously on the
wagon, I'm sorry I offered you
a drink" I murmured. But
what made you turn square?"
And there in the dim speak,
between drinks for printers and
reporters and truck drivers,
Eddie told this amazing tale. I
shall not attempt to desecrate
his astonishing East Side tWang
by initiating it. 1t is a cross
between Al Smith and George
Jessel, if you get what I mean.
He Went on Wagon
Well, here it is in Eddie's
own language:
I'm drinking for a week or
two and wind up in a drum
led. note: speakeasy) in Brook
lyn, owned by a pal of mine.
This gent sells colored idodine,
! amt kidding. I hang around
the joint for a couple of days
with pink elephants and funny
looking monkeys who sing like
Rudy Vallee. After a while my
friend figures that friendship
is a very beautiful thing but
money is more important. Be-
cause if I hang around there
any longer he will lose all his
customers as I am making
funny noises and comical eX-
presSions with my face.
so he hailed a cab and
poured me into it and told the
driver to take me to New
York-just on the other side Of
the bridge. But 1 amt no sap.
If he wants to get rid of me he
has to make a settlement. And
he does. He gives me 10 bucks
and quart of the paint he sells
for whisky.
IT remember taking a sWig of
the whisky as we bounce across
the bridge-and then the lights
60 out. Black. I'm as uncon-
scious as Congress. Or a cop
after II o'clock.
THE driver, I learn later,
gets afraid when I pass out. He
tries to feel my pulse. There
amt any. He listens for my
heart. Silence. He backs me
into a drug store near the World
Building.
THE clerk. a medical student,
knows me. He, too, attempts to
find life in me. N. G.. He fig
ures I'm dead. He calls a doc
tor, and someone rings in for
an ambulance. The neighbor-
hood doctor takes a gander at
me and shakes his head. He
says I'm dead. Along comes the
ambulance. That croaker says
I'm dead. That's two sawbones
and a drug clerk says I'm dead.
Then He Wakes Up
well I wake up, and I'm in
a dark room. I try to move. I
can't. I don't know what to do.
