Radio Notes

There's an honest roadside din- ing-car proprietor in Westneld, Mass. whom Kelvin Keech, NBC announcer, won't soon forget.
 Keech was on his way by motor to Lake Sunapee, New Hampshire to meet John $. Young, brother announcer, where they had ar ragned to vacation together. Hun .ry from his drive from New York, Keech pulled up at roadside res faurant, entered, hung up hls coat and ate heartily.
 He then started on his way. After driving 150 miles he began to feel the chill of evening and reached for his coat only to dis cover he had left it in the res- taurant.
 Instead of driving back, he de- cided to go on to Sunapee. He bor- rowed a coat from Young, and spent a week in the resort. Doubt ing that he ever would find the coat, he stopped nevertheless at Westfield on the way home. The proprietor smilingly handed it over and urged Keech to call again.
 Frank Black has revived the An- cient Greek scale in his search for new and interesting effects to be used in his musical arrangements for the Revelers Quartet. His lat est arrangement of Youman's without a Song" includes several of these weird harmonizations and as far as can be determined this is the first time this forgotten scale has been used in writing for vo- calists.
 Graham McNamee, NEG an nouncer, has had many babies named after him by fans but his favorite namesake is Graham White, two year old son of Joe White, NBC's Irish tenor. Me Nance is the boys godfather.
 Whenever Harry Salter, NEG orchestra leader, and violinis' meets Richard l.. Clune, of the treasurer's department, he ad' dresses him as Sarge" It seems Clune was Salter's sergeant during the war. Harrys outstanding mem- ory of the period is that the ser geant always bawled him out for playing the fiddle so much.

Our Stock Company.

IN keeping with the Bicentennial cele-
L bration, S. E. Cochran says he
intends to make up a program OF 10
plays for his stock season that will
appeal to representative American au-
diences. 1t is believed that the many
out-of-town visitors will find time in
which to attend the theater; but the
subscription plan in vogue at the Ma
tional, however, enables him to cater
first Of all to the old-line washington
patrons who have been with the Ma
tional Theater Players since their own
inaugural. Though the announcement
that the players were coming back was
made only one week ago, the boys in
the box office at the National already
are being kept busy setting aside re-
served seats for the 10-week season.
Under the direction Of Clifford
Brooke. the new company will soon be
completed. Mr.. Brooke is in New York
now interviewing players who have pre-
viously played with the National The
ater Players and others who are trying
to come into the fold. 1t Is believed
the company to open here in April will
be just shade better than any other
troupe ever flying the banners OF the
National Theater Players.
In town last week with Ethel Barry
more, Walter Gilbert, former leading
man with the National Theater Play
ers, called to pay his respects to Mr..
Cochran. He brought news Of other
players who make up what Is known
as the "old grad" Of the first seven

renee in Romeo ct Juliette." in Brus-
sells, he has played in none but leading
roles His first engagement with the
Metropolitan Opera Co.. offered by
Gatti- -Casazza, director general Of the
company, started January IS, 1915. He
is still a member of the Metropolitan
Opera Co.
When selected to play the role of
George Washington, Mr.. Whitehill,
though this was his first attempt at
motion picture work, continued his rec
ord as a star performer. He deemed
it SO great an honor to portray George
Washington that he volunteered to
enact the role for expenses only.
It was one Of Mr.. Whitehilrs ambi-
tions to play the part Of George WASH
ington, for he bears a striking resem-
and he had made intensive study OF
the life and times of washington.
Although Mr.. Whitehill is singer,
he does nothing but character acting in
this picture. His Characterization Is
said to be so remarkable that Col.
Dodge, in charge Of Washington's
Mount Vernon home for 46 years, re-
marked that he was 1.-The best-looking
George Washington he had ever seen"
It is fitting that one who can trace
his American ancestry back to 1740
should be honored by the role. The
Whitehills, from England, settled on a
grant of land in Virginia In that year
and there they remained until after the
Revolutionary War, when they moved
to Pennsylvania, where william White
hill. father Of clarence, was born. After
his marriage he took his bride across
the prairies and settled in Marnego,
Iowa, where the present-day replica Of
George Washington was born.

was in Pagan Lady," torrid exhibit,

"The Social Register" Anita Loos
and John Emersons chronicle OF
chorus girls career, in which Miss
Uric is now appearing is said to be
one of the most expert and finished
works that have lately fallen to her lot,
being neither more nor less than
dramatiZation of Miss LOos' popular
novel, But Gentlemen Marry Bru-

The Uric career has been singularly

The Motion
Picture Album
By Robert E. Sherwood.

"OR more than 10 years Ernst
- Lubitsch has managed to hold
his position of pre-eminence
i among the movie directors of the
world. On various occasions
others have arisen to occupy his throne,
but only during those periods when he
himself was between pictures. Virtually
every one of his productions, from
Passion to The Smiling Lieutenant"
has served to re-establish his suprem-
acy. While LubitSch has been revered
and applauded by his colleagues and
paid vast sums by his employers, he
has been known as one who consist
emily scars over the heads of his au-
dience "a feat which. alas. doesn't
necessitate the breaking of any alti-
tude records.
Now comes his latest and perhaps
his greatest, THE Man I Killed" and
again the wise ones of the movie busi-
ness are loudly proclaiming the news
that ''it's masterpiece, but it will lose
money" Whether this is or isn't so, I
am in no position to guess. The box
office Is a mystery which I long ago
gave up the attempt to fathom. THE
Man Killed" is the best talking pic
ture that has yet been seen and heard.
for 1t is the closest approach that has
been made to the true cinematographic
ideal-precisely the SAINT, ideal that
existed, and was so infrequently real
ized, in the old silent days. The mov-
ing pictures principal claim to recog-
always has been. its ability to express
the eloquence of silence. In placing
too much reliance upon words, printed
in subtitles or spoken in dialogue, 1t
has neglected its own unique powers.
When you see THE Man I Killed
Gas trust you Will you'll observe that
every important climax Is achieved in
silence, and you will feel that this
silence Is all the more impressive be-
cause it develops from spoken dialogue.
The finest. the most moving scene in
the picture reveals the emotions Of a
bereaved German family when they
learn that the despised Frenchman has
come to their town to lay flowers on
the grave Of their soldier son. No
words are uttered at this tremendous
moment-indeed, there are no words
that could describe the upheaval which
occurs within the character so splen-
didly interpreted by Lionel Barrymore.
A colossal and apparently enduring
hatred oozes out of him, and as it goes
he makes the miraculous discovery that
his enemy can be deserving of admira-
tion and even of love.
Mr. Barrymore has much the best
part in THE Man I Killed"-it is
almost the sole part-and he makes the
most Of it. His co-stars, Nancy Carroll
and Phillips Holmes, may seem COM
paratively ineffective, but this is the
authors fault rather than theirs.
Maurice Rostand, who wrote the orig
inal play, provided negative roles for
the young people in his story. and the
Hollywood adapters, Ernest Vajda and
Samson Raphaelson, failed to strength
en- his characterizations.
