ohnBarrymore in CounseIIor-st-Law
Current Feature at RiaIto

Elmer Rice wrote an engroSSing
play in "CounSellor-at-Law." Uni
versal has transferred it to the
screen with John Barrymore in the
role played by Paul NUM-. Due
perhaps to Mr.. Rice's efforts (who
adapted it for the films), all Of the
brilliance and color Of the original
has been retained.
The author is noted for his
ability to paint a varied and vivid
set Of characters through his dia'
logue. Every player in Counsel
lor-at-law" is a definite, positive
person. A lawyers office Is the
background for a parade Of well
drawn, well-acted people who seem
to really live.
The title role, played by the
youngest of the Barrymore acting
trio, is that of an East Side boy,
who, through perseverance and
an aptitude for jury addresses, mas
become one Of New York's greatest
lawyers.
He has married a blueblood, is
so much in love with her that he
endures the Snubs Of her children,
whose father, they say elves in

new case renews his interest in
life.
The far-from-elaborate plot
serves as q framework for the
author to introduce a number
Of colorful characters. All types
and sorts visit the lawyer. The
Communist who denou noes
Simon, his pitiful mother, the
lady of the chorus who is suing
for breach-of- promise, the &C
quilted woman who was tried for
murder, and now receives hun
dreds of "fan letters" the talka-
tive telephone operator, the at
torney's own mother, proud Of
her son and heedful of his well
fare, these and many more play
their part in the story Of "Coun-
Sellor-at Law"
There is no doubt that Barry
more is far and away the most
important person. Those who
doubted his ability to equal
Muni's portrayal will find them
selves mistaken. Some will even
say he Surpasses him. It is one
of actor Johns finest opportuni-
ties, and he responds admirably.
The producers have an excel
lent cast to play the many
characters with whom Rice has
peopled his story. Doris Kenyon
is the social wife, Bebe Daniels
the efficient secretary. John
Qualen, Melvyn Douglas, Isabel
Jewell, Onslow Stevens, Clara
Langser and the others are all
competent.

Night Clubs Offer New Opposition to Stage; Grets

} 'tion as a Broadway star is as

Miss Hepburn, by the way,
could study to advantage the way
in which Blanche Bates uses her
voice. The former Belasco star
happened to be the only one in
the cast Of THE Lake" who was
able to make her lines in the
third act audible and understand
able to the orchestra back rows
during the washington engage

and carrying capacity. It's know
ing how.

Greto Garbo comes back to the
screen after 18 months vacation
and demonstrates that her posi-
ton and following are secure.
The glamorous Swede, queen Of
the Metro Goldwyn-Mayer stars
presents in her latest Hollywood
portrait, q delicate etching of
"Queen Christina" a Seventeenth
Century ruler who abdicated the
throne of Sweden at % and lived
sad but dramatic life.
Christina always dressed in
mans clothes to the end of her
life," said Playwright S. N. Behr-
man, who adapted the story to
the screen. "She even had a
man servant instead Of maid.
Her father had wanted a boy.
He took out his disappointment
in this by dressing his daughter
like a SON."

lian's part in Queen Christina" ="
Author Behrman has nothing but
the highest praise. Hes done,
think, his finest piece Of direc-
ton in this" he says. "One
scene I remember particularly
where, after a one-night romance
with the ambassador (John Gill
bert), Christina says: I want
to memorize this room. I shall
have to live a long time in this
room-in my mind He has her
walk about the room, feel every
object in it, chairs, pictures,
statues, while you wonder what
she's doing before she says that
line"
Rose Pelswick, Of the New York
Journal, finds the Garbo per-

Anderson of the Journal, and
Percy Hammond of the Herald

triumphed over the play.
1.-THE Lake" was summarized as
a play which was built for the
intellectual theater-goer and not
for the Hepburn movie audiences.

NIGHTS had she watched from her own
bed room at home after saying good
night to him on the porch-thinking
the old car would never breathe again.
Even in her hurt and anger she could
not suppress little smile all to herself
when Tommy got out and went around
front to crank it.
He worked and worked feverishly-
and suddenly with an asthmatic cough
the old wreck began to pork. There was
something so honey and familiar in
the gasping of Tommys machine that
Mary could stand 1t no longer. To hide
her feelings she grabbed the window
and banged it down until 1t must have
awakened the neighborhood.
Then Freckle was amazed when she
clenched her fists.
THAT old car! The nasty old, broken
down. hateful thing! wish 1t were

It was so funny that Freckle had no
control over her emotions. She laughed
ringingly. But she was not prepared
for what happened next. With q wild
sob Mary threw herself to the couch,
beautiful dress, hat and all, and broke
into heart-broken sobs.
The whole squabble seemed like kid

and she had been brought up in much

barely 18 and Tommy not much more
than year older.
They were Just out Of high school.
Freckle scarcely knew how to handle
the situation. But she went over and
sat down on the couch and put her
hand on Mary's head. Materially she
removed Marys hat and brushed the
hair from her hot forehead.
Hey. listen" she said with a forced
grin. dry your eyes, sister. You're

forced a smile and sat up resoiutely.
