that if we can't have the pie in its
entirety, at least we can have
some of the Stuffing without the
crust. If we have been denied a

have had, as far as it has gone, a
very superior imitation.
THERE is no doubt in the world
that the theater is suffering
from something. 1t may be hard
times" or it may be one or all of
the ills that have been pointed
out by william A. Brady and
George M. Cohan. Instead of
talking about those ills, however,
it would seem to be much more
desirable to hunt for the rem
edies. Times have changed and
tastes have changed with them.
The new crop of theater-goerS are
determined not to like old things
and old methods. 1t is quite
natural for them to ask for a
theater that suits them, and un-
less they get it they will seek
their distractions and pleasures
elsewhere.
The old managers seem dis
posed to put their hands into
their pockets and hold fast to
what they find there, reluctant to
embark upon new experiments.
The playWrights are perched high
in the tree of "watchful waiting"
alert for the drop of the hat to
tell which way the wind blows.
And the dear public will continue
to bob between the talkieS and
modern catch-pennies of the
legitimate stage until somebody
discovers the way out of the pres
ent theatrical depression and into
the sunlight of present demands.
The incentive to move in the right
direction now is buoyed, or should
be by the fact that the deeper
folks are in the doldrumS of any
sort of depression the more in
tensely they seek to be diverted.
And the theater is one of the best
little old diverterS the world has
ever known. If the theater, there
fore. will be only as courageous
and daring in an effort to make
itself what it should be, as it has
been in devising things that have
wrought it's downfall, it may yet
see better days-and see them
soon.
WE are about to invite-if, in

come and help us celebrate
George Washington's two hun
dredth anniversary. If, however,
they find us stepped in want and
misery, with no attempt at all to
hide it, even in our places OF
amusement, they may not be so
prompt in accepting our invita-
ton. Misery may love company,
but no sane company Is likely to

Paul Lukas Talks.

THE depression" can't take the laughs
out of Strictly Dishonorable, now
in it's second week at the Rialto Theater.
Washington, like New York, is find
ing this screen production delicious
comedy. The screen version preserves
all the charm of the original play and
it seems quite true that the play loses
nothing in its translation to the screen
Paul Lukas, who was borrowed by
Universal from Paramount after Para
mount was outbid in the sale of the
screen rights for the picture, says of
the production:
Il think, aside from my own work
and am not qualified to speak of that
the play as it stands on the screen is
corking. Universal Pictures, through
John M Stahl, who directed it, has
really achieved something. Even the
author likes it, and that sets record,
If you know authors.
Seriously, though, Strictly Dishon-
orable' is really very fine. 1t is a pic
ture that doesn't depend upon plot, one
that rather has an innate charm of its
own, quality of realness, a touch of
truth, plus some of the best comedy
you'll ever see. Miss Fox and Mr.. Lewis
Stone are excellent, and Stahl's direc-
ton, his continuity-if I'm not talking
too intricately-is quite remarkable"
