Frohman's Lecture
Awakens Memories

The arrival of Daniel Frohman
on November 16 at Constitution
Hall, when he will be heard in
"Reminiscences of the Stage and
It's Stars" awakens memories of
so years in the Capital city's
stage history, for all cities in the
United States have profited by
his active life, in the interests of
the theater.
He crossed the country first as
advance agent of old-time shows
and minstrels. In the early days,
theaterS from coast to coast
knew comedy and tragedy be-
cause his energy and vision
brought them to their door. This
city knew him chiefly because of
the plays and figures in his
"star system" sent to us under his
direction; for Daniel Frohman is
one Of the triumvirate which
made more stars than any other
manager in the theatrical history.

ZiesfeId RevivaI,
Show Boat"
Coming

Reborn in the spring Of this
year, SHOW Boat" Florenz Zieg.
fields last and justly pronounced
his greatest production, will be
presented in the National Theater
the week commencing Monday.
November IA. Taken from the
novel, "Show Boat" Edna Ferber's
best seller, the stage play, best
termed as a musical romance, is
an adaptation by oscar Hammer
stein, I'd, who likewise provided
the lyrics. The score is by Je-
rome Kern. a composer whose
keen sense of the requirements to
fit book with appropriate tunes
is unquestioned.
It is the original Ziegfeld'
Theater production, for which
Joseph Urban created the very
elaborate IA scenes, which comes
to the National Theater intact,
with a score of principal artists
who created their respective roles
when "Show Boat first saw the
light Of the stage and are still
eagerly giving life to the charac-
ters in the novel.
Foremost of these are Norma
Terris, Helen Morgan, Eva Puck.
Sammy White, Jules Bledsoe,
Annie Hart, George Blackwood,
Allan Campbell, Dorothy Denese,
Jack Daley, Laura Clairon, Robert
Farley, Francis x. Mahoney,
Evelyn Eaton, Thomas Gum.
Associated with these origina-
tors of "Show Boat, roles are
william Kent, who plays Cap'n
Andy; Bertha Belmore, who played
Partly in the Australian produc-
ton, and Paul w. Keast, who por.
trayed Gaylord Ravenal at the
termination of the New York en-
gagement. Of course, a galaxy of
Ziegfeld Glorified American Beau
ties is gracing "Show Boat" with
its host of dancers and the ia:
nous Jubilee Singers, a group Of.
colored vocalistS.
"Show Boat" has been recog.
nized as the ideal American nu-
sical romance. AS presented on
the stage and produced by the
late Florenz Ziegfeld, it is a glori-
fled combination of revue, drama,
musical comedy and operetta.

About Mr.. Walker

A CHEEKY voice on the phone
reminds the department that in
listing motion picture big wigs
who aided Franklin D. Roosevelt,
the name of Frank c. Walker
was overlooked, though why he
cannot understand. Mr.. Walker
served as treasurer of the Demo
cratic national committee, lined
up the motion picture industry
boomers for the Democratic can
didate. He is counsel for the
Motion Picture Theater Owners
of American, general manager
and counsel for the Comerford
circuit of theaterS. A good law
yer, fine fellow and successful
gatherer of the shekels it takes
to make the political wheels go
round, 1t is my informant's
opinion that President Roosevelt
will not ignore Attorney Walker
if the latter seeks political pref.
erment.
1t seems to be generally &C.
cepted in the movie industry
that Will Hays will resign his
office as movie cZar with the
inaugural of the new President
if not before. Somebody closer
to the Democratic mighty will
probably succeed Hays.
Is it a sign of returning pros.
perity? Let's hope so. At any
rate "Show Boat" which comes
next week drew the seasons first
big line to the National Theater
The advance sale is big for the
Ziegfeld musical.

A Critic Problem

Mark Leuscher, long the pub
licity chief for Keith theaters, is
at present the ballyhoo man for
the Roxy Theater in New York.
Imagine his embarrassment as
a life champion Of the flesh and
blood entertainment to find that
the New York motion picture
critics regularly ignored any re-
view Of the Roxy's stage show. 1t
mattered not that these shows
generally cost as high as $4,000.
The critics whose box score rat
ing is printed in Variety take the
attitude it is their function to
pass upon the Hollywood product
and any stage entertainment is a
mere incidental not within their
purview. Mr.. LeuScher found out
also that the critics rated the at
traction on the screen at least IS
per cent Of the theater's box office
strength, while the stage show,
regardless of names, rarely domi-
nant in appeal. Producer Harry
Warner rates the pictures value
at 60 per cent, SO maybe the
critics are right.
At any rate. Mr.. LIeuScher has
started an energetic campaign to
have stage shows reviewed by film
critics. He's making a little
progress, but not enough to boast
about yet.
Put Mamma Schumann-Heink
down as a headliner who can
make good at II in the movie
houses. She did much better for
the Earle Theater this week than
any number of louder Shouters in
the vaudeville world.

Frank McHugh Had
Early Start on Stage

An actor at 10, a stage man.
ager at 16, Frank McHugh knew
what the stage was all about
long before he was old enough
to vote. He was born in Home
stead, Pa, and was managing a
stock company in Pittsburgh an
an age when most boys are in
high school.
In 1925 he was playing on
Broadway with Jimmy Gleason
in The Fall Guy" Then he went
to London as general understudy
for "Is Eat SOP" and played
every male part but two during
the run of the show in England.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Nov. II.
All that is over about Gene Ray
mond quitting the films and re-
turning to Broadway. The blond
leading man yesterday signed a
a one years personal contract
with Jesse LaSky, who first dis
covered him and sent him out to
the Coast.
Mr.. Lasky confirmed this to
me yesterday and announced that
Genes first part will be the
masculine lead in ZOO in Buda-
pest" Sitting in the directors
chair for this picture will be
another Lasky protege, Jim Cruze.
I find the former Paramount
head very keen over his film
plans for the coming year. He
sees five pictures a week, looking
out for promising players, and he
has a sharp eye on the story and
play market. Meanwhile they
are erecting a special building to
house the Lasky productions at
Fox.
Oh, yes, Broadway will get a
brief look at Gene Raymond. He
leaves here Sunday for a flying
visit to New York.
Hollywood parade: Today's
mail brings me an announcement
card from Helen TwelvetreeS and
Jack Woody. They're calling the
new heir Jack Bryan Woody. .
You may not be seeing "Anne of
Green Gables" after all. The
owners of the story rights want
more money than R-K-O is will
ing to pay. Gene Markey is too
busy at Paramount to accompany
Joan Bennett on her trip east.
