Kringelein Stands Out

In so far as 1 was always to OBJ
serve nobody steals this picture.
The Great Carlo is secure. All
share in the victory. The Barry
more boys live up to a big league
reputation. Wallace Berry is
immense. Joan Crawford-not
strictly the type-'puts glamour
and a huge dab Of S. A. into the
role of Flammechen. Even the
minor roles are superbly fitted.
It was my opinion after seeing
the play that the role Of Kringe-
lein presented the most faSci-
mating character in Vicki Baum's
kaleidoscope melodrama. Here
was an underdog at whom death
had beckoned. His days were
numbered. He had saved a size
able nest egg and he was deter
mined to spend it, to live like
a king until the final summons.
There was something tremen-
dously pathetic in his plight. AS
Sam Jaffe played Kringelein in
the stage production, the pathos
of the part was accentuated by
the fact that he was in the prime
of life. AS Lionel Barrymore
portrays the character, Kringe-
lein is past middle age.
Kringelein just happens to be
right in the middle of the real
dramatic cliches of the story.
The big scenes revolve around
him and he is part and parcel
of the vivid flashes Of drama.
So Lionel Barrymore stands out
with a part so roundly written
that it is the meek Moses of
bookkeeper' having his final
splurge with the worlds gayetieS,
as the one figure in Grand
Hotel" who bequeaths the most
striking memories. This is not
to say that Lionel Barrymore
submerges or even partially
eclipseS the other M-G-M stars.
Merely that he has more footage,
is the hub of the exciting action
incident.

Just about a year ago, Mr..
Van Jones appeared before one
OF the attorneys who controlled
the lease Of the house in which
he lived.

calmly, Il have lost everything I

This is enough for those who
will see Grand Hotel" to nibble
on. Tomorrow the picture will be
further reviewed in these columns.
Lewis Stone plays the role of the
doctor encompaSsed in the stage
production by Romano Calender.
The picture ends with his cynical
observation, People come and peo-
pie go and nothing ever happens

enough happens to give Hollywood
one of the superior pictures of
1882.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, May 10.
Though he still has time to
change his mind, Harold Lloyd
seems bent on producing a col
lege story, "Butterfingers," as his
next comedy.
Ever since 1.-The Freshman,
Harold has had such an idea in
mind, but, for one reason or
another, has never gotten around
to it. Last year, he even had his
staff write a complete treatment
of 'Butterfingers," but changed to
Movie Crazy" when he heard
that Metro-G oldwyn-Mayer and
several other studios were pre-
pairing football pictures.
Now he's on the project again,
and since he won't need to have
another film ready for release
until the fall of next year, the
college theme would be timely.
Meanwhile, the comedians gen.
eral manager, William R. Fraser,

rangment for him with Para
mount. Movie Crazy, which
Harold thinks is his best picture
since THE Freshman, will head
their list this fall.
There seems to be small chance
that Harold will do whispering
in the Dark" sometimes printed
as his next vehicle. At present,
the only possibility besides But
terfingerS" is a race-track story
by Hal Roach.
One of the better stories about
the Broadway influx out here is
told by Bill Conselman.
She was a famous stage actress
making her first picture. The
script called for her to read a
telegram, and, according to stage
tradition, she wanted to read it
aloud. "You won't have to do
that" explained the director,
because we put it on the screen"

He Was Born Rich

Back in that large, private
home, Mr.. Van Jones was call
ing a number. And while he's
getting it, let's look into his life
for a few moments.
When this man was uShered
into the world some 60 years
before, the Van Jones name al
ready meant a great deal in
the community. Aside from
the fact tina: the good, old Van
Joneses had been one Of the
families that actually came
over on the Mayflower, the
name meant plenty in a ,usi-
ness way. A fine wooden bust
ness had been established away
back, and it had been handed
down through the generations.
Thus, by the time our sub
ject made his appearance on
the scene, he had a natural
heritage of social background
and-more important-financia
solidity. His youth had all the
trimmings of the rich. There
were private tutors and private
schools and private bank &C
counts. He was taught very
definitely that a Van Jones
should always enjoy everything
of the best.
In due time, which is time
! enough, the young man was
married. No pretty chlorine or
star of the stage for him. No,
sir-not in his family. With
the full approval of his par
ents, he took unto himself a
Van Astorbilt. Miss Van Aston
bilt was not quite a Van Jones.
but she was pretty close. Her

OF course they complied, and
eternally sealed an undying friend
ship with the wife.
Yes! Even radio clowns have
hearts, and can be serious once
in a while.

Long Honeymoon
After the honeymoon that
lasted for more than a year in
foreign countries, Mr.. and Mrs.
Van Jones returned to New
York. They had their estate
near Greenwich, Conn., but
it was necessary to have a
town house. More than neces-
sary. For a Van Jones it was
practically compulsory.
They searched, and their
agents searched. And they
finally came upon that home
in the Eighties that the two
policemen passed so early in
the story. The moment they saw
the place, both Mr.. and Mrs.
Van Jones knew that that
was what they wanted. 1t
suited their needs exactly, and
it was one of the showplaces
of the day. 1t was perfect, no
less.
But, as with all things that
seem perfect on the surface,
there was a string attached.
The house was a portion of
an estate, and the will declared
the property could not be sold.
It could be leased, but the lease
would have to be for a term Of
ninety-nine years. And the
rental would have to be $4,000
a month. No more and no less.
A strange will, and some
thing of a stupid one. But it
must have been fairly legal, I
imagine. Or else the heirs were
willing to yield to the whim of
the man who drew the will and
did not care to drag the thing
into the courts. Which made
the heirs almost as unusual as
the will.
Gets the Business
Mr.. Van Jones did every
thing possible to buy the place.
He pleaded. He begged. He
offered fantastic figures. But
to no avail. He could not
bulge the trustees of the es-
tate. So, in the end, he took
the only way out. He rented
the home he wanted for a term
Of ninety-nine years at a
monthly rental of $4,000.
The money meant nothing to
him. When he was around
thirty-five years of age, his
father died and left him in
control of the wooden business
that had flourished for so
many years. He had nothing to
worry about and no cares to
disturb his mind. If you were
looking for perfect content
ment, you'd have to search a
long time before you matched
Mr.. and Jones state of mind.
Had things remained as they
were, Of course, there would be
no story such as this in my
space IOQay. UnluCK1ly Tor
him, viewer, things did
change. Conditions first be-
gan to differ when his wife
died some ten years ago. And
they never stopped differing.
The man began to neglect his
business. That was all very
well for a long period because,
regardless of what he did, the
name and reputation were so
strong that things Practically
ran themselves. But Iddenly
from out of nowhere, the de-
preston swooped down. And
Van Jones found himself in the
very middle Of the Wall Street
crash.

is a delight to watch. She is a
creature of emotions. Swayed one
moment by the terrible fear she
is slipping and that, after all, the
applause of the multitude is empty
because it is not an enduring Joy.
Then comes love. And how that
girl perks up. In the ecstasy of
her sudden discovery that life is
worth living her whole being radi-
ates happiness. Carlo shades this
character beautifully.
How I like that man Wallace
Berry. Here he is Preysing, gross,
ignorant, a selfish and arrogant
magnate, with a well developed
bump of conceit. Always he is
human and his scenes with Lionel
Barrymore and Joan Crawford will
convince anybody who remains a
doubter, Wallace Berry is a great
actor.
