B Barrymore Has
Star Role in
Classic

Ethel Barrymore, whom we last
saw here in Scarlet Sister Mary"
turns back to Richard Brinsley
Sheridan for her current vehicle
at the BelaSco Theater, "The
School for Scandal" and her pub
lie will probably feel that she is
much happier in the role Of Lady
Teazle than in that of the Gullah
matron of many amourS.
Sheridan's play is one of the
classics of all time, and the role
of Lady Teazle is admirably suited
to Miss Barrymore. She was most
charming last evening. her various
costumes were most becoming, and
her wonderful voice more appeal
ing than ever.
Well Balanced Cast
It is not so long ago that we
saw a splendid revival of "The
School for Scandal" with an ex-
cellent cast gathered by one of our
foremost impreSarios. Even with
out the presence of Miss Barry
more, however, the current prodCc-
ton would hardly suffer by COM
parison with that enterprise. For
her support is pretty nearly of all
star caliber. Mckay Morris, Wal
ter Gilbert and C. H. Croker-King
are names of note in the theater,
and they represent only some of
the outstanding principals in re-
markable ensemble.
Scenically the production is
most pleasing. The settings de-
signed by Watson Barratt and the
costumes by Ernest Schraps vie for
audience approval. The direction
by E. M. Blyth is in keeping with
the fine cast and staging.
'The School for Scandal" is
one of the few plays that have
survived from Sheridan'S time,
and its longevity is unquestionably
due to the fact that it presents
a problem common to all ages.
Sheridan's satire still has barbS,
and his characterizationS are
recognizable enough $50 years
after he wrote the play.
Gilbert as Charles
Walter Gilbert, a favorite in
Washington, who appeared in
Miss Barrymore's support in
Scarlet Sister Mary" plays
Charles, the prodigal, in School
for Scandal" and adds another
to his splendid portraitures. NC
Kay Morris, equally clever, is cast
in the less attractive role of
Joseph, while Croker-King, whose
Gentleman Johnny" Burgoyne
of "The Devils Disciple" is un-
forgettable, is welcome indeed in
the role of Sir Peter.
Ralph Roberts, Marcel Dill,
Charles Romano, Ernest and Erna
Rowan and Harry Plimmer add
luster to a splendid presentation.
The youthful John Drew Colt
makes his stage debut in support
of his mother, and is good in a
relatively minor role.
The Washington times., 1932-02-16

ANDREW r. KELLEY this time with
a delightful flavor of Mexico.
"Hot-Ch is a production
drenched with scenic beauty,
glowing with harmonious color,
filled to overfloWing with the
graceful motions of the dance,
adorned with scores of gorgeous
girls in entrancing costumes, rich
in lusty and subtle humors, the
whole trimmed with the limpid
and rhythmic melodies of a highly
tuneful score. For authors and
composers have served the house
of ziegfeld we'll and an abun-
dance of choice footlight talent
does the rest.
Lahr Is The Star
Bert Lahr is the roWdy panta-
loon around whom all of the
humor of the Brown, Hender-
son and Hellinger story revolveS.
His is merely the problem of ex-
Treating from a series of diff
culties, a New York night club
group of entertainers who have
tried their luck in the cafes Of
Mexico city. To do this it is
only necessary for Comedian
Lahr to don the silken knickerS
and embroidered jacket of the
toreador and fight the enraged
bull in the Rio Grande arena.
Mr.. Lahr throws the bull, both
ways. He mangles the English
language, jumbles his proverbs,
hcwls and sings his way to a
hilarious hit.
Assisting Comics :
In the distribution of laughs
Chief Comic Lahr has the assist
ance of very able group of
principals. There is, to be specific,
Marjorie White, cute platinum
blonde, whose refreshing gayetieS
had a spontaneous sparkle and
whose several song numbers were
enthusiastically received. Also
Lynne Overman as a glib light
comedian in the role of promoter.
June McCloy, Hollywood impor-
tation, offered a Carlo contralto
voice that vowed the customers in
Little Old New York" and is my
personal nomination for queen of
the Ziegfeld beauties.
Buddy Rogers Is o. X.
For romance "Hot-Cha" offers
Buddy Rogers and June Knight,
as perSonable a pair to eXpound
on loves young dream as it's pos
Sible to recruit. Fresh from his
Paramount labors, Buddy Rogers
offers an engaging juvenile pres
ence, an ease and wholesome ex-
uberance in his acting and a bari
tone voice that handled smoothly
the reprise tune of the melo-
dious score, "You Can Make My
Life a Bed of Roses" June
Knight is a complete platinum
topped eyeful and a fine singing
ingenue.
Bobby Connolly has conceived
some novel and fast routines for
his scores of dancing girls and

Here's Gossip

Though gracious when trapped,
George Arliss is almost as crowd
shy as Garbo. At the recent
premiere of his picture, the En-.
gliSh actor spent the evening in
the office of the manager of the
theater and, when the time came
to appear on the stage, baked
at walking down the aisle. The
engineer of the building had to
lead him up through the boiler
room. .Lupe Velez can't laugh.
Listen for yourself, when you
see her on the screen. the two
guards who have been patrolling
Ann Harding's yard since the
threatened kidnapping of her child
are tough babies to pass. Last
week they chased couple of fan

Rose PonseIIe to
Sing Here
Tomorrow

Rosa Ponselle, prima donna
soprano of the Metropolitan
Opera Company, is announced in
concert at Constitution Hall next
Wednesday afternoon, February
II, at 4:30 o'clock.
Miss Ponselle's appearance in
Washington is of unusual interest
to Washington music lovers, mas
much as the cancellation of the
Metropolitan Opera Company's
spring tour means that Pom
selle will not be heard here in
opera this year and her appear
ance at Constitution Hall on
February II will be the only
opportunity Washingtonians will
have to hear her this season.
Ponselle plans to sing here
one aria from her new operatic
success, "Fedra," which was given
it's premiere at Covent Garden
in London last summer. This
aria will be 20 divina Afrodite," I"
while her program also includes
the Bel raggio" aria from Ros-
Sini's "Semiramide."

prodigal with his terpsichore
teams. Thus the most stagger-
ingly beautiful of fiesta scenes
introduces Veloz and Yolanda,
Yakaloff and Antonio and Renee
De Marcos.
Mr.. Ziegfeld introduces for real
istic purposes a mild hammered
bull and a soft-eyed calf who blink
ed as though she was wondering
what it was all about.
Coral Is Vocal Star
The most pretentious voice in
the assemblage comes from Tito
Coral, whose For You" was
roundly encored and who could
sing again with everybody's ap-
proval.
Of the Brown and Henderson
music you will probably hear
much for some time. It is the
kind that tickles the ear and
they have contrived to carry not
a little of Hot-Cha's fun into
their lyrics. Besides the numbers
mentioned above There Go
Dreaming Again." Il Want
Another Portion of That" "Jose
Can't You See" and Il Make
Up For That In Other Ways"
were appreciated gems.
AS usual the Joseph Urban
brush has served it's master well
and colorful backgrounds blend
with vivid costume pigments for
scenes of impressive beauty. In
its first performance "Hot-Cha"
ran exceptionally smooth. With
just a slight Tightening it will
be ready for the most critical
inSpection.

ZiegfeId's Latest Production Has Brilliant

Plan to
Film Satire on
Studios
BY HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright. 1892, King Features
Syndicate, Inc

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Feb. IS.
Several columns ago, wrote
that Metro Goldwyn-Mayer will
satirize studio life in 1T Has To
Be Big" Nov comes R-K,O with
the announcement that Helen
Twelvetrees will be featured in a
film to be called The Truth
About Hollywood"
Happily. David SelzniCk has
chosen a competent person to
write the story. I mean Adela
Rogers Hyland. Adela has been
a part of the film colony for a
long time and always writes of
it with veracity but with SYM
pathy. Unlike some authors, her
familiarity with Hollywood hasn't
bred contempt. She still keeps
sight of the glamor which the
film stars have for the great pub
lie.
For this reason, I believe we
will be seeing Miss TwelvetreeS
one of these days in a picture
that really will contain some of
the truth about Hollywood And
if it isn't the whole truth, who
will complain? Maybe the micro
scope brigade But let 'em.

and looked closely at the
