Famous as a Headliner.

7 LILLIAN ROTH. heading the vaude-
vile program at R-K-O Keiths this

phase Of theatrical enreavor. Her
career reads almost like the history of
show business, and that doesn't mean
Miss Roth is a sweet little old lady
either. for she is known far and near
as the movie queen of synocpation."
Lillian Roth is a full-fiedged actress
with nine years experience to her
credit. When she was but IA years old
she started initiating Lenore Ulrich,
Ruth Chatterton, Judith Anderson and
John Barrymore. The Shuberts' Ar
fists and Models" was her first big
revue, and then, in the order named,
she appeared in Texas Guinan's Pad
locks" Delman's "Revels," Carroll's
"Vanities" and Ziegfelds Midnight
Frolic"
She supported Maurice Chevalier in
his picture. The Love Parade; was
featured with Dernis King in THE
Vagabond King" t,lcn with the four
Marx brothers in Animal Crackers"
and later with Nancy Carroll in
Honey"
After completing Hollywood engage
ments she journeyed back to Broadway
and again into Earl Carroll's latest
"Vanities" Having retired from that
production, she is now playing a linn

Escudero. Spanish Gypsy.

N1NCENTE ESCUDERO, the noted
Spanish Gypsy dancer, who comes
to Washington for the first time Tues
day afternoon, at the National Theater,
is on his first American tour.
Escudero was born of Gypsy parents
while they we're on the open road
through the city of Valladolid, Spain.
A born dancer. like most "gitznos," he
practiced heelwork as a boy on the
metal manholes of the streets Of Gra-
nada. He danced so violently that the
police. fearing he would break the man
holes. forbade him the privilege. When
he was he joined troupe Of Gypsies
and wandered with them through And2 :
fiestas and in public squares. His job
was to pass the hat, but he rebelled at
this and ran away.
Escudero danced on the professional
stage for the first time in Portugal,
where he was hailed as prodigy. In
1920 he danced at fashionable cabarets
and clubs in Paris, then In London,
Berlin and Rome with marked success.
In 1927 he first won real concert audi
ence at a solo performance in the Sale
Pleyel. Paris, when he packed the house
and brought all Paris to his feet.
Pavlowa, it is said, had planned to
bring Es-udero as her partner in tour
of the United States. but the greatest
of all the ba',erinas died just before
th-v were to have sailed.
The dancing of Escudero is described
as spontaneous. rugged. even bolsterous.
He moves like streak Of fire. He has
been called a demon Of rhythm. His
American debut In New York in Janu-
ary was attended by many famous stage
and screen stars and was 0.sensation.

April 18. For a time it seemed as
if that Milton Aborn Opera Co.,

things right in the heart of the
great metropolis, might crowd out

one obstacle is said to stand in

been described as "a Negro child's

cast demands many youngsters

it would long since have routed

save in talking pictures, The
law does not affect the film
producers because the pictures
are made elsewhere. This, it
is contended, is an unjust
discrimination against the legit-
innate theater, and unwarranted

It is understood that strong ef-
fort is being made to correct this,
and, it is said, with the kindly

This. it is explained. will give eight
weeks in which to select the plays and
members of the cast. The subscription
plan in vogue the past two seasons will
be revived. The schedule calls for 10
weeks, during which 10 outstanding
American plays will be presented
Under the subscription plan, patrons
are enable to secure seat reservations
for all 10 plays at reduced prices at
once, the same seats being reserved
each week This will save them the in
convenience of standing in line at the

Fairbanks, seen here few weeks
ago, was not viewed with any

perhaps, do most toward slim
ulating theatergoers are such
veteran troupers as Wallace
Beery, Lionel Barrymore and
others far removed from the mat
inee idol class.
Yes. this is the day of feminine
triumphs in the films. The down
fall of the once riotouS Clara Bow
is the only acute casualty in the
lists. Such eloquent performers
as Minna Gombell and Marie
Dressler, happy representatives Of
the old guard, now constitute the

What" some are saying. is
the matter with man? Why is
he being showed under by the
more pliable sex? And what Is
the reason for the cinematic
crown being snatched from his
head?" The answer is difficult,
except that man has never been
photographically as satisfying as
woman, and hence not likely to
endure so permanently. He can,
too, not appear one day with a
new kind of headdress and the
next with new kind of dress.
Hence. this possibility for variety
is distinctly limited-and once he
has smiled. or cried. or done
neither. that is about all there is.
Take the case of Jimmy Dunn.
How long will he last? Or Gable,
or Montgomery? Long? Per-
haps. but not so long or with such
devastating results as say-weu,
