"Pinafore" Given
At Sylvan Theater

The ninth Summer Festival pro-
gram at the Cylvan Theater was
staged last evening when Gilbert
and Sullivan's popular H. M. S.
Pinafore," was sung by the Es-
telle Wentworth opera group.
For the first time, light
opera was sung in its entirety at
the Sylvan Theater. Presentation
of other light operas is planned
next season.
The opera was presented on
the natural stage of the Sylvan
Theater, without settings of any
sort, somewhat in the manner of
the concert-operas of the Ameri-
can Opera Company. Costumes
appropriate to the story, how
ever, were worn by the so singers,
all Washingtonians. Miss Went

JOIN CRAIG DID MUCH FOR THEATER
Lunt, Bickford.
and William
His Pupils

The name of John Craig may
not mean much, offhand, to the
average Washington theater-goer.
He had appeared here only a few
times in recent years, and then IN
roles and plays not of special
significance.
Nevertheless, in so years on the
stage he had attained consider
able distinction. He first became
known with Augustin Days fam
Gus company in New York, where
he met and married Mary Young,
one of the most remarkable Of
American actresses for her
versatility and consistently fine
performances. Later he was
starred in London, and was lead
ing man for Mrs. FiSke.
1t was his career with the
Castle Square Theater in Boston
and his sponsorship of the Harv-
ard price plays, however, that
will make Craig'S name live in
the annals of the theater. His
Castle Square stock company was
national institution for many
years, and through it he foStered
the careers of many young actors
and actresses who later became
famous. Among these were Peggy
Wood, Alfred Lunt, Irving Pichel,
Charles Bickford and Warren
William.
For many years he offered an
nually a prize of $1,000 and pro-
duction by his company, of the
best play written in DR.. George
Bakers "47 Workshop" at Harv.
ard. Most famous of these plays,
probably, was Common Clay"
but others that enjoyed success
were Believe Me, Xantippe" Tin
which Mary Young and John
Barrymore co-Starred on Broad
way The Year of the Tiger"
Between the Lines" THE Prod
uct of the Mill" and 1.-The End of
the Bridge" Thus he gave vital
support to a movement that has
had great influence on the Amer
lean theater.
Craig and his entire family
went overseas during the war,
and one of his two sons was
killed while driving an ambu.
lance. Friends of Craig and
Mary Young are pleased to know
that although they had been
divorced they were reconciled at
the time of his death.
They were together when he
died. After a family birthday
party in her honor, she drove
him to Woodmere station. He
complained of pain about his
heart and she drove him home,
but he died within few min
uteS.

Drama
Thrills Crowd
at the Earle

Thrills and chills abound in
Doctor x" the mystery melo-
drama done entirely in techni-
color, which is the film feature
at the Earle this week.
The story tells of series of
mysterious murders, committed at
the full of the moon and obvi'
ously the work of a mailman.
They have al occurred near an
institution of surgical research,
conducted by one DR.. Xavier, and
the police question him.
He obtains 48 hours during
which to make an investigation
on his own account, and thanks
to the mingled aid and opposition
of a newspaper man, manages to
solve the mystery and end the
career of the criminal. 1t is
weird yarn, with many Of its
settings laid in the morgue and
in laboratories where skeletons
hop up and down, but its thrills
are neatly balanced with plenty of
laughs.
Lee Tracy as the newspaper
man, Lionel Attwill as the doctor,
and Fay Wray as the doctors
daughter, play the principal roles.
and are supported by cast al
most uniformly good. The tech
nicolor undoubtedly adds to the
effectiveness of the picture, par.
ticularly in those scenes where
the moon is a necessary adjunct.
The stage bill this week is pre-
dominantly a masculine affair.
Everett Marshall of the Metropolis
tan Opera Company, is enthusiast
tically received in his song num-
bers. and Hal LIE Roy, late of the
"Follies," demonstrates some of
the steps that have made him
famous.
Arthur and Morton Havel have

Plenty Going on
Down Fox Way

Another program bearing many
distinguished names. and assay
ing notably high in entertain
ment value. is available at Loew'S
Fox Theater this week.
The feature photoplay, "The
Painted Woman" directed by John
Blystone, calls into service the
diversified talents of Spencer
Tracy, Peggy Shannon, William
(Stage) Boyd, Irving Pichel, Paul
Roulien, Murray Kinnell and
Laska Winter.
The story is laid in that always
colorful region known broadly
and generally as "the South
Seas" and, of course, concerns
painted lady who finds love
among the husky he-men there.
Peggy Shannon is the troubled
gal, Bill Boyd is the burly brute,
and Spencer Tracy is the horny
handed but happy-hearted hus-
band.
The reviewer enjoyed "The
Painted Woman" for the forth
right performance of Boyd, the
easy charm of Tracy, and the
natural perfection of Pichels
Characterization. Miss Shannon
struggled desperately with banal
role and did quite as well as any
Hollywood young lady would have
done. 1t is hard to forgive Mr..
Blystone for giving her the newt
able Sadie Thompson photograph.
Many of the scenes are beauti-
full, and newer directorial and pic
torial methods lend this picture a
realism which would have been
utterly lacking a few short years
ago.
The screen program is rounded
out by Movietone News and other
short subjects.
To the stage bill, Pola Negri
brings, in song and dramatic inter
Jude, some of that fire and intense
VividneSs which have marked her
screen appearances.
Pola's reception was cordial,
as was that accorded to that
most gallant trouper, Georges
Carpenter. Carpenter dances a
bit, sings a little, radiates a fine
smile, and let's the girls in his
act help out all along.
Miss Patricola, Wilfred Du
Bots and Joe Phillips add melody
and comedy to the rich stage
fare, and Phil Lampkin with the
orchestra provides the icing.

The Last Mile "
at the Palace

There is a strange, even eerie.
kind of melodrama indigenous to
The Last Mile" as a picture, and
while the myriad scenes unfold
on the Palace screen, where it
opened yesterday, and the prison
action creates its oppressive at.
moSphere, a deep gloom, a fatal
ity, a fantastic despair pervades
the picture to the extent of multi
flying in part its attempt at
tragedy.
Preston Foster, as "the killer"
and George E. Stone, in the role
of Convict Berg-whoSe mind is
touched-provide bizarre person
atty contrasts, yet the note of
epic tragedy is somehow lost.
Though grief, suspense, torture,
noteworthy dialogue unite to de-
wise Spotty melodrama, the char
acterS themselves are deplorably
Weak-a most inconsequential.
John Wexley. the author, has
failed to provide them with au-
thentic motives. Instead, his peo-
pie are restlessly miscued or in
ordinately brutal.
In the supporting roles are
Howard Phillips, Noel Madison.
Frank Sheridan, Daniel T. Hayes,
who played in Green Pastures"
and Louise Carter.
Samuel Bischoff, who directed
'"The Last Mile" had ample OPP
portunity to invest the picture
with a higher note of logic and

out by "Show Business" with the
refreshing zazu Pitts and pretty

Merton Is Still
an Actin Kid

Merton of the Movies" is back
on the screen again, but though
it is still pleasant and diverting
bit of comedy it has lost the
punch it had in the original stage
production, which starred Glenn
Hunter.
The story, now styled Make
Me a Star" has been rehaShed to
provide shots of the inner work
ings of that "Sanctum sanctorum"
a Hollywood studio, with side
glimpses of many of the Para
mount stars. But the fault
seems mainly in the casting of
Stuart Erwin in the role of Mer-
ton. Hunter brought to the part
an intensity and pathos that is
lacking in the good-natured Err
wins comedy makeup.
Merton Gill, delivery boy of
Mr.. Gashwiler's Emporium in
Simsburg, receives his diploma
from the correspondence school of
acting and sets forth to Holly
wood, the land of his idol Buck
Benson" of the westerns. His
sincerity strikes the heart OF
"Flips" Montague, s. hard-boiled
star of the slap-sticks. Through
"Flips" he is cast in a buriesque
of Buck Benson, but under the
impression that he is making a
serious drama. The truth breaks
his heart, but "Flip'S" love saves
him from dark despair.
Even if comparisons are odious,
Stuart Erwin does a good job of
his part save for the precedent
of Glenn Hunters performance
He replaces the burning, youthful
fervor of Hunter with a clumsy,
stumbling lad with ideals. Joan
Blondell is splendid as "FlipS"
even though she must go a trifle
maudlin. The minor roles are
we'll filled by ZaSu Pitts, Sam
Hardy, Helen Jerome Eddy,
Arthur Hoyt and others.
Subsidiary attractions include a
very air-minded Paramount news,
Screen Melodies, featuring Arthur
Tracy, the Street Singer and in
teresting Newman travel sketch.

Thatcher Colt is amazed. as
who isn't, and turns the wheels
of the police machine towards
solution. Two more murders and

terry is cleared; much action takes
place. One particularly grue-

chilling scene which brought
gaSps from more than one tense
spectator.
Unlike the earlier Cor more re-

British Picture at
Columbia

The screen feature at the Co.
lumbia this week is an English
production, a Gainsborough Pic
ture, from the stage play 1.-The
Calendar" by Edgar Wallace. The
English cinema has not yet
reached the stage of development
found in American productions,
but it is interesting to note the
differences in the fundamental
technique and plot development
as found in Bachelors Folly"
In the story development there
is a reserve and a slight lack of
clarity in details, due partly to
blurred sound and the difficulty
of the pure English accent. But
with the present rage of face
slapping heroes on the Hollywood
screen, the gentlemanly dramatics
of Herbert Marshall will certainly
offer a contrast for the American
public.
The story is Of a gentleman of
the racing game, a gambler, on
the worthiness of his entries, who
consequently finds himself in
financial straits. The lady of his
dreams plays him false when she
finds that he has not inherited
money, as quoted by the papers.
She is instrumental in having
him warned from the track for
something he did not do, and
keeps the money he has given
her in trust for such time as
he could take it and not bet. He
RECEIVERS it by burglary and re-
stores his reputation.
The race track scenes are in
teresting, as are the clothes, both
masculine and feminine,
Herbert Marshall and his wife,
Ldna Best, r ay the leading roles,
and they are already familiar to
our audiences through stage and
screen. Others in the cast are
unknown on this side, but acquit
themselves we'll. OF special note
is the butler.
A short playlet of gangsters of
Japan, travelogue, Maori Land;
a James Gleason comedy and
Paramount News complete the
bill. H. w.
