Screen Fun Plus
Stage Laughs
at Keith's

A diversified and en- oy able
vaudeville bill, plus a goofy but
generally amusing film comedy,
make up the program at RKO-
Keith's this week. The picture
feature prese sentS Wheeler and
Woolsey in Girl Crazy" an
adaptation of the musical comedy
success that did not reach Wash
ington in it's flesh-and-blood form.
The story deals with the for
tunes of dude ranch in Arizona,
where a brace of bad men keep
the cemetery populated with
those who aspire to the high es-
tate of sheriff. Woolsey, as a
gambler, is TAXED to the ranch
from Chicago by Wheeler, as a
dumb taxi driver, and the latter
remains in the hope of collecting
his bill.
Funny Feature
That's the start. The finish
comes when Wheeler is induced
to run for sheriff, is elected by
an enormous vote, triumphs over
the bad men, and marrles the
gal.
What gal? Any gal. In this
instance, Dorothy Lee,
Mitzi Green does some excellent
limitations, particularly of George
Arliss and Edna May Oliver. The
straw hat was all ready for her
to do Chevalier, but apparently
that's just a face on the cutting
room floor.
Jack Whiting, personable star
of Americas Sweetheart" and
other musical shows, heads the
vaudeville bill in a song series
and a few dances with Dorothy
Fitzgibbon. A two-piano duo, com.
posed of Edgar Fairchild and
Robert Lyndholm, is a real asset
for the act.
Amusing Stage Show
Hunter and Percival have a
most amusing act in which Ital
ian dialect comedy provides many
laughs. Brooks and Wynne, two
young women, offer songs and
comedy, and Homer Romaine does
aerial stunts to the accompani
ment of entertaining patter.
The comedy smash of the bill
however, is the act of George
West and Ray Stanton, a mad

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, March
28.-Hollywood sees a paradox
in the fact that ELISA Landi, in
her new novel House for Sale, "
should write a calm, reflective
story from the point of view of
middle age.
Something very different, it
feels, would be expected of the
glamorous and youthful actress
she's only 27-who has been
called THE Greta Garbo of the
Fox Lot"
launching with Miss Landi this
week, touched on the point.
You know" she said, some
people won't even believe I wrote
the book. But it doesn't seem
odd to me. I believe that 1
know the feelings of middle age.
I happen to have lead a con.
scious life since I was four
years old. At five, I could read
and write. At six, I was writing
my own stuff. Very bad, of
course, but I was writing"
In House for Sale," Miss
Landi uses a novel device. The
heroine is about to give up the
old family home. Making a
final tour, she comes across an
article that reminds her of some
thing in the past-then an
other and another until the
whole story of her marriage
and motherhood is unfolded.
Miss LanGi tells me the book
was suggested by an actual ex-
lerience.
MY mother was about to give
up a house." she said. "She was
asking us if we wanted various
bits OF furniture. I remember a
certain old-faShioned mahogany
table. None of us wanted it be-
cause it didn't fit into our houses.
My mother was reluctant. "I'll
store it," she said, but then, after
a moment, No. What day would
1 be storing it against? I'll sell
it,
Suddenly, I remember that the
family always had sat around
that table. Thai important deci-
sionS had been made at it. I
didn't want to see it go. And then
thought: If it means that
much to me, how much more it
must mean to her. That gave me
the idea for the book"
Already, Miss Landi has begun
her fourth novel. But the heroine
in this one will be only 26. And
she'll remain that age until the
end of the book. The story is not
about Hollywood.

Hooray for Mitzi

1t would be stating less than
the truth to deny that Mitzi
Green steals the honors of Girl
Crazy" at Keith'S from the more
widely exploited Wheeler and
WoolSey. The precocious kid
has about three minutes in the
spotlight, which she utilizes to
give cameo impressions of the
better known adult movie stars.
Amazing is her ability to stuff
a doughnut in her eye for a
monocle, purse her lips and be-
come for all the world a carbon
copy of the austere George Ar
liss; then she shifts and rolls
her eyes in a perfect imitation
of the stately dowagers portrayed
by Edna Mae Oliver. The slut
tering Roscoe Ates and the eccen-
trio vocal mannerisms of radios
freak, Bing Crosby, are also
cleverly mimiced. The kid, as
they say, is clever.
