Hollywood NotabIes Top Stage Program
At Earle Theater This Week
B Barrymore Hits
as Troubled
Senator

Back in 1925 Lionel Barrymore
as a stage actor, was featured in
Henry Bernstein's play, THE
Claw" It's hero was a member
of the French chamber of depu-
ties who succumbed to roman
tic intrigue.
At Loew's Palace yesterday the
same Lionel Barrymore was pre-
sented on the screen in Wash
ington's Masquerade" an Ameri.
canized version of the Bernstein
play with the political dialogue
and background of the story pro-
vided by Samuel G. Blythe.
We have the Mr.. Barrymore
Of Hollywood renown cast as
United States Senator Jefferson
Keane, a Solon from the Mid
West elected on a platform OF
Federal control of natural re-
sources.
Falls For Romance
When Senator Keane arrives
in Washington he becomes an
easy victim of what is popularity
described as the social lobby"
In other words the interests can't
reach him by such accepted
methods as oratorical persuasion
or money SO they play upon his
heart strings. Surprising to say
Senator Keane proves susceptible
to petticoat craftsmanship. He
sells out, resigns his eat in the
Senate, sets himself up as legal
representative of the power lobby.
A senatorial investigation un-
covers his perfidy and the end
discloses him a diScredited and
broken man who succumbS after
confessing how he had been hood
winked.
Washington Scenes
There are some good Washing
ton scenes, including a White
House reception and photographs
of Capitol galleries and hearing
rooms. Into these familiar back.
grounds the figure of Lionel
Barrymore has been inserted by
the method known as the Dun
ming process. You will find also
that Hollywood has done well in
picking types to masquerade as
statesmen.
Lionel Barrymore gives one of
his best performances. He has a
good deal to Say-characteriStic of
most SenatorS-but he manages
to invest his speeches with the
ring of credibility and inject a
convincing quality Of realism into
his big moments. Karen Morley,
as the girl who led him astray,
gives smooth performance.
C. Henry Gordon Is the master
mind lobbyist and good as q
sinister villain. Diana Sinclair,
a newcomer to the films. plays
Barrymore's daughter with some
distinction and Nils Asther was
excellent as the diplomatic gigolo.
On the supplementary pro-
gram is a Zasu Pitts -Thelma
Todd short comedy. "The Old
Bull" The news reel completes
the program.

priSes and if it were we'll acted
might be grouped with those
15-minute vaudeville excursions
into the drama which make
good entertainment.
AS played at the Earle last
night, it served principally to
satisfy an audience curiosity to
see new screen favorites in the
flesh. They found Bette Davis,
blonde and with tan makeup,
looks like her pictures and is a
poor stage actress. Warren
William was at his best in the
one-minute encore speech which
sounded genuine. What THE
Unexpected" needs is the imme-
diate attention of a good stage
director and more rehearsals.
Extra" Is a Hit
The striking feature of the
lge show was the introduction
of a giant "stooge" in the Artie
Lewis and Peggy Ames comedy
act. This seven-and-one-half-foot
juvenile monster, discovered in
California, provided a side show
interest with a bit of fun.
The Marcellus dancers open the
show with singing and adagio, and
the English drolleries of Davey,
the juggler, were blended with
skillful feats. Maxine Doyle served
charmingly as a fashionable an
nunciator for the stage program.
Rinehart Story
Miss Pinkerton," on the screen,
is film adaptation of a recent
Mary Roberts Rinehart mystery
story. The question is who killed
Herbert Wynne? 1t is one of
those eerie yarns with clutching
hands silhouetted on the walls,
various characters Sneaking up
and down stairs, stealthily open
ing doors, frequent screams ema-
mating from the sound boxes, a
police inspector and a nurse COM
bining their talents to locate the
murderer.
Joan Blondeu is the nurse who
does the screaming, is able to
wiSecrack after being nearly
choked to death and plays the
whole thing with a roguish gleam
in her eye. George Brent is the
police inspector who delegates
the nurse to find the culprit and
chriStenS her Miss Pinkerton."
The best laugh in the picture
comes when a reporter identified
himself as "the Morning Eagle"
whereupon a fresh cop chucks
him off the porch with the ad.
monition, "go feather your nest"
A news reel dominated by pic
lures of the Olympic tryouts and
running narrative by Graham
MacNamee is the supplementary
screen attraction.

Richard Dix Set
as Screpper
in China

An old favorite in a husky,
made-to-order role or the first eff.
forts of a new star in the making
must always be a basis on which
the attention of the movie-going
public is centered. Roar of the
Dragon" currently at RKO
Keith's has Richard Dix, Gwili
pronounced Jeelee) Andre and a
story of intrigue and bandits on
the Manchurian waterways.
Dix is skipper of a river-boat
carrying passengers and freight
to Harbin; set upon by a band
of Russian outlaws lead by Voron-
sky, whose reputation is synony-
nous with torture, Dix leads his
little group of passengers to the
one hotel in a small harbor town;
the natives, warned of the ap-
proach of the bandits, are evacu-
ating the town; the skipper takes
charge of the situation and after
much bloodshed and many exhi-
bitionS of heroism, the small
group of passengers, their num-
ber depleted by death, continues
the journey.
Typical Dix Role
The role of the rough-speaking,
hard-fisted river captain is typical
of Dix roles, no better than
others and not as good as some.
The newest screen beauty, GWili
Andre, exploited as Radios Garbo,
is more of a Dietrich with a voice
of the same tone-shadings and
the fraulein's favorite camera
tricks. We reserve judgment
until the lady has learned more
Of makeup and less of pretension.
Airline Judge is a bright-faced
miss with flair for comedy. the
inimitable Zasu Pitts needs no
recommendation, and the remain
ing members of the cast include
c. Henry Gordon remembered
best as the police commissioner in
"Mata HariD, Dudley Digges,
and Edward Everett Horton.
Diverting Shorts
Much of the insinuated realism
of the play is lost in artificial
background, studio rivers, and
sound-Stage river banks. Mr..
Ruggles, the director, can learn
much from Won Sternberg.
The shorts are numerous and
diverting. We caught Frank Nc
Hugh in an amusing reporters
alibi, a cartoon with Tom and
Jerry and the combined protec-
tive forces of the U. S. A., A Wal
ter FutterS' curioSitieS, and a
Pathe newSreel with an intelligent
outline of the proposed st. Law

Three Names Top
New Program
at Fox

Three film stars present their
glamorous personalities to the
Washington public this week on
the Fox program, George Sidney,
Anna May Wong and Una Mer-
kel. That, it may be submitted,
is quite a cargo of cinema talent
to appear on one bill, and the
stage show is appropriately known
as Hollywood on Parade"
Mr.. Sidney appears in person
and in the movies, a picture
showing his progress from Holly.
wood to the East, being followed
by another which gives him op-
portunity to debate with himself.
Miss Merkel reveals her unique
brand of comedy, assisted by
Phil Lampkin and Wesley Eddy,
and Miss Wong offers character
songs. She has delightful stage
presence, but her songs might be
improved. You will probably be
amazed at her So-British accent,
and by her proficiency as a lin
quist.
Other features on the stage pro-
gram include, Bill Telaak and a
couple of unbilled assistants in a
riotous round of comedy combin-
ing some of the best features OF
the work of Herman Timberg and
Roy Cummings. Al Gordon's
dogs are amusing.
The screen feature, Madame
Racketeer," features Alison Skip
worth in the role Of plausible
crook who manages to annex a
little loose cash almost every
where she goes. In brief foray
outside the prison walls she
manages to straighten out her
own family affairs most success
fully-and then she goes back
again. It is an amusing yarn,
with an excellent characterization
by Mis- Skipworth.
Richard Bennett, George Raft.
Evalyn Knapp and other notables
round out a good cast.
The news reel shows all man
ner of interesting events, as
usual.

Sari Martha Is
Success as a
Queen

Remember the Graustark
stories? How royalty falls in
love with the smaller fry Of the
kingdom and all ends well in the
royal palace?
Monte Carlo Madness" the
UFA production current at Loew's
Columbia Theater, is somehow
reminiscent Of those delightful
little stories.
Filmed in Germany but con-
.Struction especially for American
use, the picture is story of an
impetuous queen of a very small
and impoverished nation who
falls in love with the captain Of
one of her majesty's ships, and
really goes out to make her man.
She does it by trailing him to
Monte Carlo, where she dons the
garb of flirt and takes her seat
in the famous Casino to await
the attentions of the captain. The
attentions are lavished on her in
the midst of gambling at the Ca
sino'S roulette tables and then all
is revealed-to the great surprise
and pleasure of all concerned.
It's a thin story, but its humor
carries it along. In addition to
that, Sari Meritza, a charming
European actress. has a very
sweet smile and wears the crown
with dignity.
She is assisted by Hans Albert,
handsome German actor, who
plays his role as captain with the
necessary braVado.
The program is completed with
Our Gang in Hollywood Kids, ~

How 1t Worked Out

There was no holding Joe
Blimp in the office that day.
He walked around as though he
were a hero of the first magni-
tude. It had taken him a long
time to learn, but he had finally
achieved his goal. Publicity had
put him on the road to bigger
and better things. He told the
clerk beside him to watch his
smoke from that day on.
Just before he left that night,
Joe was told that the boss
wanted to see him. Joe arose
and winked at his desk mate.
Il told you So" he said. THE
balls rolling already.A - ~
He entered the office of the
big shot. The latter man looked
up at Joe.
Mice picture you had in the
paper today, Mr.. Blimp," he as
serted.
Thank you. SIR" replied Joe,
modestly. I'm trying my best
to get ahead. Just little pub

Kills or Cures

L
Kills or Cures
At any rate, publicity is a
kill or cure business. 1t kills
the patient far more often
than it cures him, but the
mugs never find that out un-
til it's too late. And now that
we have had sufficient moral
izing for one session, we will
turn to the story Of Joe
Blimp, our character for to-
day.
Joe had always been blessed
with Big Ideas-to hear him
tell it. Ever since that glor-
ious tenth birthday when he
had exchanged pair of
cracked hockey sticks for a
NANCY guinea pig, Joe had
decided that he was cut out
for Big Business.
After leaving high school, he
enrolled in every correspon-
dence school he could find. He
subscribed for everything and
anything that would develop
what he termed his natural
business sense" In two years
he had accumulated a library
that contained everything
from Professor Gyp's Pep De-
velopment" in 10 easy lessons
to How To Become a Million
atre" in 10 still easier lessons.
At the age of 20, Joe felt
certain that he had more than
the equipment necessary to
crash the gates of success. If
he didn't feel like crashing,
he'd simply hurdle them. That
was Joe. So, with a clean col
lar and the last lesson of
Every Man His Own Boss" in
his handbag, he arrived in the
city of New York.
Somehow or other, things
didn't work out quite as Joe
had planned. According to his
Business Psychology" course,
taken in ten simple lessons, all
a man had to do to be big in
this world was to think big.
Joe stuck to that policy. He
thought so big when he first
hit our village that it took
three months and Tightening
waiStline to make him realize
that all he could hope for was
a job at twenty bucks aeweek.
The Washington times., 1932-07-23
They Take Him Up

For many months he wrote
to the vendors of patent medi-
cines. In flowery language, he
described his miraculous recov-
cry from an assorted collection
of ills that included fallen
arches, hahtoSis, dandruff. and
SO forth. Furthermore, he
wrote, he would be happy to
give them the finest kind of
testimonial if they would print
his photograph. Brt alas
once again nobody seemed in,
terested.
BY this time, Joe was not
70 be daunted. He branched
out. And the list Of ills from

Always Disappointed

Our hero didn't remember
any similar situations in any of
his courses. The professors had
failed to instruct him on the
movements of a young man who
expected $1,000 a week and was
offered only $40. So he did
what he thought was best. He
took the $40 a week.
Joe, however. was plenty dis
satisfied. After a year of earn
est labor, he was still earning
the same salary. His boss
hadn't even made him a vice
president as yet, and that was
really something to worry about.
He puzzled over the problem
until his eyes began to bulge
like a reformer's hip-pocket.
And suddenly the solution hit
him. What he needed was pub
1icity!
That was the magic word.
Publicity! What a fool he had
been not to think of it before.
Publicity made men big. Pub
licity trebled incomes. Publicity
created fame. Publicity and
success went hand in hand.
That was going to be his cue
from that moment on. He was
going after publicity in big
way.
And he did, by golly. Never
was a would-be space snatcher
more persistent-but never was
anyone more unlucky. He
walked in the forefront of
every gathering. from the pro-
test marches of the Communists
to the Beer Parade, and re-
ceived nothing but sore feet.
When Jimmy Walker greeted
celebrity at City Hall. Joe
pushed so strenuously to get
into pictures that somebody
handed him a black eye.
But Joe Blimp wouldn't give
up. Not our Joe. He tried a
fake suicide by jumping in the
river, and got nothing but a
reprimand from a cop for bath
ing in a restricted area.
It was no go. Joe couldn't
seem to connect with the pub
licity he wanted, so he turned
in desperation to another angle.
He went in for the testimonial
racket.
