Ethel on the Air

In the good old days Ethel
Barrymore was wont to fill in the
time between seasons with jaunt
over the vaudeville circuits in a
one-act drama. Her vehicle was
usually Sir James M. Barrie's IA
nous sketch, 1.-The Twelve Pound
Look" and her two-a-day salary
was generally $1,000 week.
There being no two-a-day
vaudeville, last night Miss Barry
more brought her cameo playlet
to a waiting audience via the
loud speaker. She was on the
Rudy Vallee hour as a dramatic
star of the radio. It was good to
hear Queen Ethel again even if
one could not see her raise her
eyebrows and roll them pupils.
incidentally welve Pound
Look" is rated by critics the
greatest one-act sketch written
in English. Sir James M. Barrie
has actually collected more than
$150,000 in royalties for this we'll
constructed tabloid drama. The
radio fee for a single performance
is $100. Which gives you an idea
why the famous English play
wright is rich.
The Notre Dame Glee Club
which begins an engagement at
the Fox Theater today, was also
on the Vallee program and scored
impressively.

Syndicate. Incl

HOLLYWOOD, June 16.-The
embarrassing movie searchlight
travels on and now girls board
ing schools are to receive their
share of publicity.
RKO has such a picture in
mind to feature most of the
younger actresses on the lot. The
story they've picked is called
"Just Off Fifth Avenue" and it
is the work of two men, Louis
Weitzenkorn and David Hamp-
stead.
While care will be taken not to
bring down too much wrath from
school officials and from the cen
sors, the picture will have its
share of sensational material.
Some of the players already
named by Associate Producer
Kenneth MacGowan are Frances
Dee, Helen Mack and the little
ex7stenographer, Dorothy Wilson.
It isn't hard to pick few more
likely candidates. Betty Furness
will almost surely be one and Ar
line Judge another.
The film will be ready for re-
lease by the time school takes
up next fall.
