Dorothy Stone Was
Raised for Dancing

Dorothy Stone presents a re-
markable example Of ambition
realized by a concentration of ef-
fort throughout her young life.
She is at Keith'S this week.
Ever since she was old enough
to realize what the theater meant
and to appreciate the command
ing position of her father in the
theater, she has been consumed
by the ambition to follow in his
footsteps, and it is doubtful if any
actor or actress, of the present day
has so thoroughly and conscien-
tiously prepared for a career.
Before Dorothy Stone was 10
years Of age she had acquired all
the dancing steps for which her
father, Fred Stone, is famous, and
by a practical demonstration Of
this knowledge she earned her
fathers comment for an ultimate
stage career.

Miss Cornell in
Famous Love
as Drama

Rudolf Besier's "The Barretts Of
Wimpole Street" in the Shubert-

ginning on Monday night, with

of the first act.
Tells Love Story
The scene of the Besier drama
is Elizabeth Barrett'S sitting room
in her fathers house in Wimpole
Street, London, and the events
and circumstances, which led even
tually to her clandeStine marriage
and elopement with Robert Brown
ing. are concentrated and tele-
Scoped into three hours perform
ance on the stage. The obstacles
which stood in the way of this ro-
nance are familiar to those who
know the story of the Brownings,
facts charged with dramatic inter
est. There is passion, consuming
passion, but no "sex" and the ro-
nance set against background
of dark and repressed shadows
of a parents tyranny comes
through to prove once again there
is thrilling drama in the lives Of
good" people as well as bad.
Large Cast Assists
Brian Aherne, Margalo Gilmore
and Charles Waldron head the
large assisting cast which also in
cludes Joyce Carey, Brenda Forbes,
Myra Hampton, John Buckler.

The Washington times., 1932-03-05

Ernst Lubitsch, who, hasn't
made a poor, not even q mediocre,
picture since coming over from
Germany eight years ago, takes
a fling here at heavy, serious
drama. Heretofore, Lubitsch has
confined his American direction
to light satirical stories. In pro.
ducing Broken Lullaby" he
proves he can handle both types
equally well.
The plot, by Rostand, concerns
a young Frenchman, haunted and
tortured by thoughts of a young
German boy he killed during the
war. His mania drives him to
Germany to the home of the
parents of the man he killed,
where, instead of the balm of
confession. he finds the under,
standing love by the slain mans
one-time fiancee.
Lubitsch Is Master
But the greatest actor in the
story is the unseen Mr.. Lubitsch
and his camera. Vividly, with
admirable sarcasm, his camera
tells the story, bringing far more
damning arraignment Of this
whole war business than all RoS-
tand'S lines and PHILIPPE Holmes
perspiring can achieve.
Lionel Barrymore SeiZeS his role
by the throat and shakes every
dramatic possibility from it, at
tanning another acting garland
fit to hang next to any Of those
brilliant portraits he has painted
in recent months. Phillips
Holmes also wins fresh honors for
himself and Nancy Carroll dem
onstrates that under expert direc.
ton she can be tranSfo formed into
a very sympathetic little actress.
These three roles plus a slightly
less important assignment to
Louise Carter make UP the acting
parts of an acting picture. One
little slip-up on any of these four
jobs and Mr.. Lubitsch'S skilled
labors would have gone for
naught.
Camera Touches
The Lubitsch touches are all
there and in great. abundance,
trademarking the action with un'
mistakable brands. There are
rare camera shots from strange
angles, brief scenes that stand out
in memory, little gestures, slight
remarks-all carrying the deft
stroke Of this Inaster film maker
These cinematics, powerful, po-
tent, vivid, reveal Lubitsch as
director who knows what this
affair of sound-cinema is about
He uses sound to contradict. his
visual portrayals, to mock at
them, to corroborate them, and
only occasionally to bring the
literal recording Of photographed
lips that move. When Mr.
Lubitsch goes talkie his film is
just a good picture. When he
goes cinema it is a tremendous
picture. 1t. T. a.

Beecham Here

When the New York Philhar-
Symphony Orchestra makes
its final appearance of the cur
rent season in Washington, at
Constitution Hall Tuesday at
4::30 p. M, the conductor will be
Sir Thomas Beecham, an out
standing figure in British music
circles.
Sir Thomas is almost equally
noted as conductor and as music
patron. He has conducted for
orchestras and operas since 1902
and he has cheerfully lost one
million pounds in helping the
cause of opera. ~
This will be Sir Thomas second
appearance in Washington as a
conductor. In 1928 he led the
Philadelphia Orchestra in a pro.
gram here. He is a little man
with a nicely tailored beard and
a very energetic manner Of con-
ducting, often growing quite
rhythmic in his gestures and
posturings as he leads an or
chestra. Except for Albert Coates,
Sir Thomas Beecham is probably
Great Britain's most famous con-
ductor.
Tuesday he will lead the New
York orchestra in a unique pro-
gram of Washington. He will
conduct three symphonies. The
first, by Haydn, will be that
composers third written in E
flat; the second, will be Mozart's S
thirty-fourth hony; the
third, concluding the program,
will be Cesar Franck'S beautiful
symphony in Z minor.

TH|EVES.SNATCH
=. 8 PURSES

Three women were victims OF
purse snatchers last night.
Katherine kendall, of 1913 B
st. N. E., was knocked down in
the rear of her home by a
colored man, who took her purse
containing more than $1.50.
Sadie McCann, Of 321 First st,
N. E., was knocked down by a
dark complexioned man, who
seized her purse at Tenth and
East Capitol Streets. Despite
cries of three companions of Miss
McCann, the robber escaped in
an automobile.
A thief, whose description
matches that of the one who
seized Miss McCann's purse,
snatched a pocketbook from EN-
ma 8. Burrier, Of GAS 1 st. N. E.,
as she was walking near Eighth
and F Streets, Northeast, and
escaped in an automobile. Tag
numbers on the machine, noted
by witnesses of the robbery, we're

efforts. After their broadcast he
introduced himself. compliment
ing them on their work. He
turned out to be an Englishman
on a world tour.
He stated that in his opinion
the English people would get the
same kick out of Joe and Harry's
efforts to entertain that he did,
and promised on his return to
England to get in touch with the
powers that be in the British
BroadcaSting Corporation, in Lon
don. The boys thanked him for
his interest in their act and
promptly forgot the matter. To
day, however. they received a let
