pose that those years directly fol-
lowing the war, when couldn't get

in my youth. I would probably have
lost all sense and drowned myself in

I knew that life had way of turn

another job on the stage or screen
I had planned opening a hotel in
Europe-I was grateful for the sue
cesses I had had. I merely waited
and worked and hoped, refusing to
be downed or to hang my head in
defeat.
And look what happened. Along
came old Marthy in Anna Christie
and all was we'll. I'm so grateful for
the good fortune which has come
to me that I don't know how to ex-

Prescott ellis
By Your ace

Norman Prescott, astrologer and
telepathic humorist now appear
ing at Loew's Fox Theater, is
the only one of his profession
to become a star in a big Broad
way show.
One of the reasons is that
Prescott applies humor to his
astrology. 1t won him a place
with Earl Carroll's "Vanities, -
where he was co-starred with
Moran and Mack several seasons
ago. He also appeared in Char
lots English revue and Holly
wood Revue"
Louis K. Sidney, head of the
production department of Loew's,
Inc, signed him to a contract
with Boew recently. Sidney and
Frank Cambria, producers Of
Loew units, have built an in
teresting production around this
young mystifier.
Unlike many mind readers Fres-
colt does not attempt to fathom
the lines in peoples hands. He
reads the lines in their faces,
he is telling the audiences at
Loew's Fox Theater this week,
and incidentally, telling it to
quite a few Washingtonians.

LESLIE HOWARD COMEDY HITS
Fredd dy Sherman
Emerses With
Hieh Honors

Elizabeth Sleeps Out" is the
wholly sophisticated title of Leslie
Howard's gay little farce comedy
which the National Players are
offering this week. Broadway
saw it under the more genteel
tag, Murray HILL" somewhat
misleading, since it suggests
telephone exchange or a musty
settlement of mid-Victorians.
The National Players have done
we'll by Playwright Howard.
Somehow they seem to be at
their best in these occasional
ventures into extravagant humor,
and for this particular frolic
they have the benefit of bright
lines and some highly amusing
action.
The honors of the evening are
pretty evenly divided between
Freddy Sherman, the precocious
juvenile of the company, and
Leona Powers, who essays an
Edna Mae Oliver role of a
politely stiffed spinster and
emerges from the ordeal with
the honor and tradition of the
Tweedles only slightly Scorched.
Sherman Is AL
1 have a dread of these alco-
holically favored characters as
the average play depicts them.
They have a tendency to punctu-
ate with hiccoughs and a balanc-
ing on the toes more amusing
than lifelike. 1t was a pleasure
then to watch Actor Sherman
simulate a hickleSs young roiS-
terer, constantly in his cups, with
some semblance of how the polite
and we'll plastered clubman might
act Mr.. Sherman had some
choice lines, highly charged busi-
ness, sly innunendoes and devil
may-care manners which made
his acting moments of genuine
revelry.
The assured sense of humor
possessed by Leona POWERS 1lnuS
a happy landing in the role of
Elizabeth Tweedle, an outspoken
old maid who reads the scandal
sheets and secretly Graves bit
OF amorous adventure. With the
aid of a few grease paint lines,
graying hair and spectacles Miss
Powers creates an Elizabeth of
naughty but harmless fun.
MunSOn AS Cuddler
Donald Woods plays the more
circumspect role of Wrigley-a
part I suspect Leslie Howard
wrote with himself in mind-and
plays it we'll. The versatile
Kathryn Givney is immense as a
prim and sanctimously severe un-
married Tweedle sister. Mrs. Hib-
bard turns in her usual compe-
tent performance and Forrest Orr

watched Freddy Clark while
he officiated for this merry mad
ness. The Earle's leader, one of
the worlds best vaudeville macs
tros, once tried, under orders, to
gather a pit band to do the kind
of crazy stuff Heidt's group has
been trained to do.
Freddy gathered a new bunch
of gray hairs trying to find local
Eddie Cantors and Bobby Clarks.
He discovered that a hot trumpet
player was generally a poor come
dian. That the fellow who could
act "Barnacle Bill the Sailor" in
the pit could also blow plenty
of sour notes.
In the end he was glad to step
up in a podium where the prin-
cipal task is making music. fol
lowing tempos, picking up cues,
and occasionally Stooging for one
of the stage comics.

Gave Everything

They told me she had turned
up in another and far cheaper
cafe. The boss had gone for
her, and she retired temporarily.
There were vague reports of one
or two additional romanceS, and
Marion finally hooked. a live
one.
This chap was a middle-aged
bird 10 held a controlling in
tereSt in one of the largest
manufacturing concerns in the
East. He was married and he
had a daughter who was older
than Marion. But his daughter
lived in Europe and his wife, of
course, didn't understand him.
He must have been daffy
about the former baby of the
Guinan club because he gave her
everything, including the
kitchen sink. I ran into them
one night at the old Lido Club,
and they both were pretty we'll
Stewed. Marion left her man
snoring with his head upon
the table, and staggered over 10
me. And when she opened her
mouth - brothers, what a
change!
"Howya, kid?" she cried.
Haven't seen you in a month
OF whisky sours. What's the
good word along the Broadway
alley?"
We talked. Not too coherently
but a talk just the same. In
the middle, I tossed in my
question.
you once told me you were
going to be a great actress.
Whatever happened to that
ambition?"
She laughed. A loud, raucous
laugh.

said. Il through working for

The last time I saw Marion
was some Is months ago. She
was working in one of the very
lew steer joints left in town:
one of those spots in which
some 20 girls sit around and
walt for a customer to pick
them out as companion. They
earn $40 a week, and whatever
they can make on the side.
Marion was one of the 20 in
that spot. She saw me talking
10 the boss. She turned her
mead swiftly and walked to
the rear of the place. I have
never seen her since.

Much of it is good old robust

Presents Ingenue


I've been watching Texas for
nine or ten yearS-yeS, darling,
it's as long as that-and I've
seen at least nine or ten
"babieS" in that time. Some
times they're small kids, with
blonde curls. Sometimes they're
tall, with big, dark eyes. But
always they are sweet. And
you know by looking at them
that they are very, very young.
What happens to those
"babieS"? well, their fortunes
vary. One of the more recent
girls, Miss Florence Healy, is a
feature of the "Hot-Cha" troupe.
Another one, whose name
escapes me, married an English
title and is living very happily
abroad. At any rate, she's llV-
ing abroad. Another is the
wife of the greatest comedian
the world has ever known. An
other-but wait a minute. I'm
getting ahead of myself.
With your permission, I'm
going back to the first baby"
1 ever met in one OF Texas
Guinan's spots. The place was
the Ell Fey Club, the most sue.
cessful of all modern cafes. and
the time, as I said before. was
some nine or ten years ago.
Miss Guinan brought the
child to the center of the floor.
I sat in the rear OF the place
and looked on with big eyes.
Folks" she said. this is the
baby of the troupe. Cute?
should say she is. Never goes
anywhere without her mother,
and her mother wilk go any
where. Give her a nice, big
hand"
Her Ambition
I think her name was
Marion. I'm not sure, but it
doesn't make any difference.
The kid danced. AS rapid
dance as you'd want to see
and mighty hot, too. she
looked extremely pretty to me
at that moment, and it seems
to me now that she was one
of the most beautiful girlles l
have ever seen. But that's al
ways the way. Isn't it? The
lingering impression OF a sweet
memory is always more beautl-
full than any immediate reality.
I don't know exactly what that
means, but you'll have to admit
that it sounds pretty good.
After the show, when I had
the opportunity. I spoke 70
Marion.
what do you intend to do
with yourself?" was the stock
question fired at her. What:
I mean, are your ambitions?
Her eyes sparkled with
animation.
I'm not going to stay in a
cabaret, Mr.. Reporter, she tolo
ulC. NOG lllC' AA 6NAAAo
a great actress some day. just
you wait and see."
Marion didn't linger very
long as a member of the Gulnan
troupe. Maybe six months or
so, which is practically no time
at all to work for Texas. She
was gone for several days be-
fore missed her. And then I
asked one of the other kids
what had happened to her.
Then She EIopes
where's Marion?" I in
uui.ed. us she sick?"
mo" was the girls reply,
"but she probably will be. She
eloped~ with some dopey chorus
boy and nobody knows where
they went. Guess they'll come
back as soon as the money gives

"Eloped!" exclaimed. why.
that doesn't sound possible.

Not by . long shot," replied
the girl. But what difference
does that make? If you're
brainless at Is, it's a pretty
good bet you'll be, brainleSS at
10. So it was bound to happen
anyhow.
THE only one l feel sorry l0r
is her mother. The old lady is
a sickly dame, and she's around
here every night crying her eyes
out. They'll be carrying her
into a hospital if that kid
doesn't come back pretty soon.
Too bad, isn't it?"

bad"

elapsed. But I had heard quite
a bit about her. Her marriage
to the chorus boy was annulled
as soon as they returned. 1t
didn't :lean much one way or
the other to either one.
