More Trouble Feared
In Tiny Republic.

Egyptian Gazette, Cairo.-Further
trouble is brewing in the ancient little
Republic of Andorra, in the Pyrenees.
Andorras 5000 inhabitants are now
split into three deadly hostile parties,
namely. the Francophiles. the Catalans
and the NationaliSts.
The Francophiles wish to maintain
the statutes, according to which An
DORA is under the joint suzerainty of
the French Republic and the Spanish
bishopric of Uugel. The Catalans ad-
vocate the incorporation of Andorra,
whose population speaks the Catalan
language, in the Catalan State, while
the Nationalists favor complete inde-

the very embodiments of charm AID
grace. are carefully trained in all that
pertains to the Hungarian melody and
rhythm In years to come they are
to be recruits for the chorus of the
opera During parts of every year these
babies, for they are scarcely more,
spend whole days at the opera house.
There is a regular school for them
there. They have lessons from until
II in the morning, and then during
ing. At night if the operate season
is on. they appear as supernumeraries
on the stage.
Each year another 40 pupils begin
their pleasant education for the
chorus of the future They are most
carefully selected. not only for their
intelligence and talent, but also from
social and hereditary qualifications. The
old notion that only children of the
peasant classes may be developed into
the best dancers has become quite
obsolete. Most of each successive con-
tingent belong to the upper middle
class. and few to the aristocracy. The
new world behind the scenes. it has
been proved. has no detrimental effect
whatever upon their moral character.
Those who are responsible for them in
their training take special care of this
possibility. So these children remain
just as innocent and immature as their
playmates, those other children who,
though of equal age never go near the
theater at all.
These little ingenues. like all their
childish companions. spend their free
time playing with their dolls. listening
to stories. reading nursery rhymes or
learning their lessons, just the same as
the great majority of little girls who
have not been selected for future roles
of greater scope or less. in the famous
opera of Budapest The stage whereon
they now occasionally appear is for
them but fairy tale come true. No
wonder the Hungarian opera and the
Hungarian dance reveals an artistry un-
rivaled anywhere!

Patsy On a Visit

Patricia Bowman, the dainty
little ballerina of Radio City Mu-
sic Hall, hoped into town for a
flying visit to her sister, Marie
Bowman Sugrue, at the Sugrue
Castle in Chevy Chase. A sweet
girl, absolutely unspoiled by her
success in the dancing world and
intensely loyal to Roxy who gave
her the big break. AS her first
press agent I have fond spot for
the dancing star who began her
career as a gangly legged kid at
Carroll Hall.
She insists that I explore the
Radio City Music Hall. That Is
the dark caverns back stage, re-
hearsal halls, mysterious eleva-
tors and puzzling corridors Of the
Rockefeller enterprise. So I ac-
cepted for mid-July. Her sister,
Marie (now Mrs. Lee Sugrueo; is
one Of WaShington's prettiest and
most talented vocaliStS, a gradu-
ate of George Whites scandals
and the Roxy gang, who is quite
content to remain away from the

ployment. That's what being the

The Gifted Actor

Ho, now. I have always been
moved to admiration by the tai
ent which could write the Lords
Prayer on the head of pin. Here
comes an actor who can compete
for the honor of being able to
condense many words into a tiny
space. For Edward LaRoche, Of
twentieth Century" has in
scribed the complete text of the
inaugural messages since the days
of Woodrow Wilson on the back OF
an ordinary postal card. A souve-
mir postal card at that.
He had a cinch with the Roose-
welt message to the nation. Less
than 1000 words. it left him room
to spare. Woodrow Wilson ac-
knowledged his art and so did
Harding and Coolidge, with per-
sonal letters. Hoover never sent a
reply. But President Roosevelt's
thanks were conveyed in a letter
from Secretary Louis Howe.
Of course, Mr.. LaRoche's bust
ness is acting but even an actor
has his spare moments.
Mr.. LaRoche can't see eye to
eye with those attic gentlemen who
go about engraving the Lords
Prayer on the head of a pin. Pure
exhibitionists, he calls them. To
keep his hand in Mr.. LaRoche
occasionally dashes. off the Dec
laration of independence on a
postcard, and sends it to a Public
Library in Columbus or Nashville
or some International League
town. He does not profit by these
unprofessional chores. His anna
teur standing is above suspicion.

CaroIe Lombard,
Gary Cooper
New Team
BY HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright. 1888. King Features
syndicate, Inc.l

HOLLYWOOD, April 1S.-These
are the days of new star combina-
tions. How's this one: Paramount
will put Carole Lombard opposite
Gary Cooper in zone Sunday
Afternoon" the James Hagen play
that drew favorable comments
from Broadway's better-informed.
The blonde, assured Carole and
the tall, reserved Gary first will
appear in the picture as a married
couple in their middle years. The
story then flashes back to their
youth and courtship.
And digest this: Gary is to play
a Small-town dentist.
AS a matter of fact, the whole
cast set-up depends upon a salts
factory arrangement of the Cooper
contract difficulties with Para
mount. But, as Gary told me the
other day that he expects every
thing to turn out all right, the
picture would seem to be on.
Stephen Roberts-and if his
name isn't familiar you'd better
put it DOWNS to direct. Grover
Jones and Bill McNutt are doing
the adaptation.

what Playwright Edouard
Bourdet starts as sharp expose
of how French book publishers
can play literary politics and con-
tro, prize awards veers off into
high polished farce comedy in
which the writing men are shown
as insincere and shallow authors
only too eager to describe their
own thinly disguised amorouS ad'
ventures for fiction readers.
BEST Sellers" which was
offered at the National Theater
last night as the final in the
American Theater Society sub
scription season Of plays, enjoyed
an extended success in Paris and
was adapted for the American
stage by Dorothy Cheston
Bennett.
Like most adaptions, BEST
Sellers has probably suffered
somewhat in the transfer to
American idiom, for there is evil
dence it had in the original
risQue tang and piquancy not
present in the latest version. 1t
puts the burden of a talky play
on a set of brilliant actors and
with Peggy Wood and Ernest
Truck to lead a well-chosen cast
the evening becomes notable for
fine acting.
"Best Sellers" unfolds with
great promise as Publisher Julian
Mosca reveals his influence with
the Zola prize judges to have
them take the literary laurel from
an irjudicious author and pin it
on an obscure writer for his first
novel, "a Young Heart AwakenS." :"
The aspiring and inconspicuous
author who is catapaulted to
glory is Mark Everness (played
by Ernest Truck, and the in
spiration which guides his pen is
an attractive wife, Jacqueline

eager to enjoy all the fruits of
success.

the hotel-with a man in tow.
Upon being introduced to
the husband, the man in ques-
ton was naturally a trifle
nervous. But he had no cause
for his nervousness, as he
soon found out. It didn't
take him very long to discover
that the husband was a good
sport. Being a good sport in
this case, of course, meant
not giving q hang what the
wif1 did.
They dined we'll. And after
the meal the three of them
made their way to Mrs. Jones
suite, where fo' hours they
sat slipping highballs and talk
ing of nothing in particular.
AS the clock pointed to 2
q. m, Jones guessed it was
time for him to be on his
way. H. was getting sleepy.
When he awoke in the morn
ing, it was too late to catch
the train that he had in
tended to get. He rolled over,
picked up the phone alongside
the bed and called his wife.
Hubby OversIeeps
Listen" he mumbled, my
train left almost one hour
ago and I'm still in bed.
Those drinks last night gave
me such a terrific hangover
that I oversight"
His wife's reply floated back
over the wife.
after ALL" he heard her
say, why worry? It's not i'm.
perative that you return to-
day-or tomorrow, for that
matter. Why not stay around
for a few days?"
He thought the suggestion a
good one, with the result that
he was still in Calcutta a
week later. Every once in a
while during that week he
saw his wife-always escorted
by the same man.
One afternoon, he received
a phone call from his wife's
friend, who asked Jones if he
might drop in to see him. The
husband cordially invited him
over.
Look" said the friend upon
arriving in Jones' room, you
are a nice fellow and I want
to do something for you.
Would you like to meet a very
pretty American girl?"
The husband nodded.
The two men left the hotel.
Arm in arm, they walked
down the main street to
meet the charming American
girl who was in love with q
man who had no time for her.
Shortly after they met her.
And when Jones saw her, he
all but collapsed from the
shock.
It was his own sweetheart
the one he had brought
from America with him and
told to remain in Bombay un-
til he returned!
The Washington times., 1933-04-18
Wifey in Calcutta

Therefore, with plenty of
money to her credit, it was a
simple matter for. her to take
up residence here for as long a
period as she wished.
She communicated with her
husband, back in America. And
the cable she received in an
swer surprised her no end.
"Mr. JONES'" it read, 'is now
at the Hotel, Bombay"
Immediately she wired the
hotel in question, and asked
her husband to- drop in and
see her if the opportunity pre-
sented itself.
The husband. upon receiving
the message, decided to display
little of the home spirit on
his own account. He caught
an early train for Calcutta and
wired his wife that he was on
his way.
Their meeting was the kind
that one would expect in such
cases.
They sat and chatted for an
hour or so. And when Jones
mentioned the fact that he
thought he'd start getting
along, she placed a restraining
hand on his arm.
why not stay over until to-
morrow" she said. after all,
you can get a room here in
this hotel and make yourself
comfortable. I don't see the
sense of you rushing right
back"
Jones thought for a minute
or two and decided it wouldn't
be such a bad idea at that.
Makes Dinner Date y
"Say, that's what I'll Co."
he exclaimed. "1'll stay over.
And we can have dinner to-
gether tonight. Is that a bar
gain?"
The damsel was extremely
courteous.
Certainly" she replied. THAT
will be splendid. I'll meet
you downstairs in the dining
room about $50"
When the appointed hour
rolled around, the wife ap-
peared in the dining room of

hausted. His first novel was
based on a true life story re
vealed by his wife. Alas she told
all and there is no material for a
sequel.
Whereupon the publisher sug
gests that the pretty wife, Jac
queline, restore the love triangle
and thus provide a sterile author
with fresh material for another
best seller. Jacqueline. reluc-
tantly assents to the proposal
and what happens at the pub
lisher's villa near Biarritz fur
11ishes the amusing situations
for two lengthy acts. She doesn't
get the DIARY of An Honest
Woman" which she planned but
plenty of things happen.
BEST Sellers has been beau
tifully mounted by Producer Lee
Shubert and the acting, as stated
above, is of a kind that stirred
last nights audience to enthusi
astic outbursts. Ernest Truck as
the shy End timid author whose
assurance was founded on his
wifes prodding gave one of those
quiet performances which gath
cred tremendous appeal. He is
past master of comedy and con
trived to bolster draggy second
act by punctuating it with
laughs.
Peggy Wood in the role Of the
ambitious wife shared in the
main honors with a performance
SO skillfully etched it was a
delight to watch. She is one
actress who contrives to make
the galleries hear and get the
benefit of clever dialogue and
her rich talent for expression en-
hanceS her art. I thought Ian
Keith. was both stiff and too
fond of posturing pose, but as
it was a first performance he
may find himself later. George
Coulouris as the enterprising
publisher offered a sturdy and
well sustained characterization.
The direction of F. Cowles
Strickland was admirable except
for slow tempo in the second
act. BEST Sellers" shapes up as
a smart comedy which, with the
usual tightening, can face Broad
way hopefully.
