Right at the moment the main
New York cinema Shrines con.
front conditions as a potential
menace to their prosperity akin
to those which ruined two-a-day
vaudeville. The competition for
names" has become so keen that
the theaters are being forced to
repeat" acts of known boX-office
appeal. And programs are being
loaded with talent to the point
where the available amusement
market is approaching the ex.

the screen features must be "crip'

stored with an army OF stage
talent.
In spite of the mad scramble
for name" acts, New York mo,
ton picture critics refuse to give
the stage programs any but
secondary consideration. They
insist upon regarding the picture
as the thing and devote the bulk
of their critical attention to the
Hollywood product.
Some see it as just little Broad
way madness that is likely to be
remedied when exhibitors realize
they are undermining the picture
industry or at least making Holly

time to the screen and produced
what we're perhaps the only really
successful musical talkieS.
DeSylva's return to the legiti-
mate theater is welcome move.
He brought with him from Holly
wood, to write the music for
"Humpty Dumpty," those two
WIZARDS OF rhythmic melody,
Nacio Herb Brown and Richard
Whiting, who will be recalled as
the composers of Pagan Love
Song" Paradise" Blue Hori-
zon" and japanese Sandman"
and all the Maurice Chevalier
music.
Although, according to custom,
the story of "Humpty Dumpty'' is
not made public prior to its
opening, rumor has it that Lou
Holtz will be seen as a young
cloak and suit manufacturer who
is persuaded to be "angel" for q
revue; Eddie Foy, jr., will appear
as the producer of th3 show and
Ethel Norman as his singing
