POLA NEGRI Pilots Her OWN Plane
Max Reinhardt
Play on China
in Prospect

Pola, the exotic, arrived in
Washington yesterday by plane
and held a little reception at
the Shoreham in the evening for
a few newspaper people and
others eager to welcome her to
Washington.
Miss Negri travels these days
almost entirely by air, and pilots
her own plane with the same
skill that she depicts the emo
lions of a DuBarry or a Great
Catherine. However, she doesn't
always pilot her own plane-yes-
terday she arrived as passenger
and that gave a break to some
ambitious young aviator.
Pola received her guests quite
informally. Her dainty feet were
encaSed in sandals, and she has
adopted the custom of lacQuering
nails, so prevalent in Hollywood.
She has changed little since she
first flashed across the local
screen in Passion" one of the
greatest of silent pictures.
A4NA PANoSAlG llAVSANobo, dPo4O
from aviation, lie in her tour
of personal appearances which,
after her week at the Fox, will
take her to the Coast, and her
future plans, which include
movies, plays and the prospect
of Max Reinhardt production
in Europe about a year hence.
The Reinhardt play absorbs
much of her attention. even at
this early date. 1t has to do,
one hears, with the career of the
late doWager Empress of China,
and there will undoubtedly be
exquisite Chinese settings. The
intention at present is to pro-
duce the play first in London;
then, if it achieves a consider
able success, to bring it to New
York.
In a day when the average
Broadway manager, to cut ex-
penses, is looking mainly for
plays with one set and the few
est possible characters, she thinks
big spectacular production
might set Manhattan to chatter
ing volubly, and the chances are
she's right.

Incredible Hollywood!

Two more yarns about Holly.
wood appear in Variety this week.
In the first we are assured that
Moss Hart, author of "Once in
Lifetime" threw back the first
script on which he was asked to
work there as worthless. A sec
ond script he also assayed as
NC.
The studio executives told him
everything would be all right.
They would give him a script on
which he would be delighted to
work. Then they tossed the first
one back at him.
Maybe that sort of thing in
duced another scenarist to chuck
up his highlypaid job with the
studio to become head of the de-
partment of American literature
in a little college in Vermont,
where, as Variety assures us,
teachers are paid in maple syrup.

Juniors Step Out
in the Movies
These DAYS
BY HARRISON CARROLL
(Copyrlght. 1882. King Features
Syndicate Incl


HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 26.-The
young fans of the screen are tc
have their innings.
At the same time, the second
generation of HollyWood's actors
is coming into its own.
Universal has decided to do q
series of early Western adventure
films, clarifying the young pio
neer. In this series they will
star Noah Berry, jr.
Carl Laemmle, jr, has signed
Armand Schaefer to direct this
series. He is working on the
first story. Young Noah Berry
will take up the role of the
young frontiersmdn in about two
weeks, when this first picture
gets under way.
The decision to star Berry, jr.,
came after his work in Heroes
of the West" and Jungle Mys-
terieS."
This series of early frontier
thrillers is the second Western
company at work on the Uni
verSal lot. Tom Mix recently
fixed his signature for six more
hoof symphonies.
Carl Laemmle, jr., is going in
for the young idea in full force.
In addition to an original story
now in preparation for Andy De
vine, optional contracts have been
awarded three other young play
erS.
They are Theodore Hecht, who
came out to take tests for Laugh.
ing Boy" Earl Mccarthy and
Carlton Kadell, a Broadway stage
juvenile.
With these three new names,
the young Universal executive is
building up strong juvenile
stock company.
Boulevard chatter: Friends of
Renee Adoree are preparing to
welcome her back to Hollywood
Sunday, in good health again.
George O'Brien left an Indian
horse outside the Fox publicity
offices while he showed them
his war chiefs costume. Inter
esting fellow at Vine Street in
terSection offers anti-repeal wind
shield stickers for 10 cents. If
you say you are for repeal, he
dragS out one for that, too. On
a table at one of the night clubs
they are using the match-folds of
a local mortuary. Cliff Edwards
is in town for Bill HaineS' Lets
Co.. Harry Rapf is seeing
friends at Malibu after his i'll
ness. Robert Montgomery goes
to work again next week after his
hospital siege.
Another casualty, Conrad Maggie,
is limping around following his
auto accident. Saw Antonio Mo-
reno lunching at the same table
with Thelma Todd.

Hyde-Hy, Hodie- Ho!

Hot news from the front has
it that the Howard Theater will
reopen September 10, no less
with Cab Galloway and his ia,
nous Cotton CLUB orchestra as
the big attraction.
Minnie the Moocher" and the
various other Galloway creations
will probably be much in evidence
hereabouts that week. Cab has
undoubtedly one of the most re-
markable bands of the day, and
the Howard walls should bulge,
or nearly so, when his hot strains
break loose.

NEW YORK, Aus. 26.--Leon
Enrol, whose portrayals of bibu-
lous gentlemen have been among
the highlightS of the American
stage, has just completed his
tWenty-fifth year in the show
business.
He doesn't recall the exact date
of his debut, but it was in an
East Side burlesque house. From
that beginning he went on 10
the Ziegfeld 'Follies" and the
movies. No one could equal MIN
in his best days, and who says
his best days are not here and
now?
Forward March," the new
Brown Henderson musical show,
brings the ads to life, for 10
beautiful gals, who pose for tooth
paste, chewing gum, cosmetics
and such, descend upon the stage
in a body.
They are among the most
famous models New York can
offer, and the loveliest.
Harry Askin and Hugh Ford,
taking due cognizance of the fact
that business is still not top
notch, are doing their bit for old
Mr.. Ultimate Consumer. They
announce a series of productions
at the Hudson Theater with re-
duced prices at all times, in
Guiding Saturday nights and even
holiday nights. The Budget" a
domestic comedy by Robert Mid
dlemass, actor and coauthor of
The Valiant" will be the first
play presented. Lynne Overman
will head the cast.
Mitzi Mayfair is out of the
cast of "Humpty Dumpty," now
in rehearsal, with a Washington
opening scheduled for September
10. Doris Groday will replace
her. But can Doris do all those
stunts?

credited to Wilton Lackaye dur.
ing his most active years is the
very brief one in which he ex,

Dixie, thus:
Come, let's go to Sherry's

He got a snappy comeback,
however, in PunXsutawney, Pa,

a town as Punxsutawney, Pa"
And the clerk said heh-heh:

nance against begging. But Mad
igan says, Let him alone,
Mike. It's a tough case"
That's no excuse. There are
thousands Of tough cases,
worse than this. Maybe Madi-
gan is getting something out of
this. Huh. He sees me now.
He looks scared. 1 know what's
in his mind. I'll bet that lug
thinks I'm going to lock him
up.
THE DOCTOR: Now there's
a case for a psychiatrist. A
legleSs beggar. What kind of
mental twist would the loss of
two limbs effect in a mind like
his?, Paranoia? Perhaps. He
probably thinks that the world
took his legs from him. There
fore, the world owes him a living.
Consequently, he begS for
living. But-Oh. God! Now 1
remember! Yes, that's the one!
Isn't it strange that I should
see him! Over at Polytechnic.
They brought him in at in
the morning. I had to get up.
His legs we're crushed. Some
drunken kid ran him down. A
police lieutenant'S son. Mona
CHAN. Or Madigan. And the
copper begged him not to press
charges. And the beggar agreed.
And the poor fellow complained
of pains in the feet and didn't
know his legs were off.
THE HAM ACTOR: Well,
he's got an audience at least.
All he has to do is to sit there
and watch the money roll in.
All, we'll. That's life for you,
as Neitzsche once said. Or was
it somebody else who said that?
Anyway, it was a brilliant line.
Too bad about Lon CLANCY.
He could play parts like thistle
perfection. I wonder how he
fixed his legs so that he looked
legless. Maybe this beggar
knows the secret. 1t would be
funny if he really had legs.
What does a bird like him think
about all day? I'll bet he's got
dough. Say, I wonder if he
could be touched for buck?
THE CHILD: He looks so
funny without legs. But NOM
ma says 1 mustn't laugh at
him. People who laugh at Grip
Piles get that way themselves.
Maybe he laughed at a cripple
when he was a little boy. Gee,
it must be terrible to be with
out legs. How can Teller play
games like baseball and tag
and things? But I'll bet he
gets lots of nickels. Lookit all
the movies he can go to if he
wants to. Gosh, it wouldn't be
so terrible without legs if you
could go to the movies all the
time. You could see Buck
Jones III LQe DAY ana LON MIX
at night. Gee, that would be
swell. He's lucky, I think. I'll
bet right now he's thinking of
going to the movies tonight.
Oh, look! He's smiling at me.
But I mustn't smile back. God
might think I'm laughing.
THE BEGGAR: Wonder how
much 1 made today. Seven
fifty, 1 guess. Better stick
around a little while longer.
Gotta make twelve. I'll never
take tip from a newspaper
man again. That horse cost
me four bucks!

Glen Echo Park S
Appreciation

"On with the dance" has been
the slogan of the Glen Echo Park
patrons this season. The big ball
room has been doing a land Of
flee" business.
In the past, the management
has rewarded this patronage in
many ways. One night, blondes
would be admitted free to the ball
room; another night, brunettes,
and so on, but now comes the an
nouncement that every lady, re-
CARELESS of the color of her hair,
will be admitted absolutely free
on Monday evening!
Dancing will be from $50 until
1870 in the evening, as usual, with
music furnished by MacWilliams
and his orchestra.
