Broadway Tale,
"Whoopee" at
The Fox

made on Broadway" repre-
sents the Metro-Goldwyn casting
office in a weak moment. Either
that, or somebody picked up a
scenario intended for Lee Tracy
and decided to let Robert Mont
gomery play the star role. In
'. the mixup Sally Eilers drew a
role that Wynne Gibson could
adorn and the finished product
represents good actors sadly
wasted.
However, the main faults of
MADE on Broadway" can be
traced to the authors typewriter.
He starts out to tell the story Of
a super-smart public relations
counsel (high pressure press
agent) who was Quilted and out
witted by a chiseling Broadway
Jezabel
Montgomery Is Star
Robert Montgomery is the dy-
manic publicity salesman who can
fix everything. He has politicians
and bootleggers and actresses and
indiScreet playboys for clients,
figures he can think faster than
anybody who Graves his services.
He jumps from ferry boat to
rescue a respondent maiden
(Sally Eilers), then gets the idea
of taking her natural talents and
with the proper ballyhoo, making
her a Broadway celebrity.
Sally happens to revert to type,
kills a gigolo. and so the expert
fixer has chance to show how
he can frame a murder trial.
This was done so much better by
Maurine Watkins in her play and
picture, Chicago" that the latest
attempt at satire is woefully
weak.
Madge Evans is the only believ-
able character in Made on Broad
way" Robert Montgomery strug-
giles with role which has some
bright lines, but is completely
lacking in conviction. AS for
Sally Eilers, she fares much bet
ter when Hollywood forgets she
has beautiful legs and the neces-
sity of emphasizing that fact.
"WhOOpee" on Stage
On the stage is the whitfield
down version of Ziegfeld's
"Whoopee." It has Bobby Arnst,
the cute strutter of "Rosalie"
days, playing the ingenue lead.
Buddy Doyle essays the role
which Eddie Cantor made famous,
and Jane Lee is the other impor-
tant principal.
In COMPRISING the "Whoopee"
farcical story to movie stage size,
the dialogue has been pared so
that characters speak a few lines,
amble off, with a result the tale
never gets a grip on the audi
ence. The now-familiar songs are
still tuneful, and the chorus, in
colorful costume, presents lively
moments of dance.
The newsreel and Leon Don
nelly as the broadway colum-
mist" are the chief supplementary
attractions on the screen.

verse weather, the Wilson Line
Steamer, "City of Washington
carried is per cent more pas
Sengers than in the same week

that more and more people are

The water route to Mount Ver-

of Washington have taken this
historic cruise.
The Marshall Hall trip becomes

HOLLYWOOD. June 3.-Re,
leased at last from the Roland
West contract, Chester Morris has
a head start toward regaining the
screen prestige he enjoyed after
"Alibi" and other early talkies
Chester has signed with Universal
and will play the romantic lead
in "The Invisible Man.
Despite some talk to the con
trary, Boris Karloff still stands to
play the title role in the H. G
Wells novel. If there is a hitch
it will be over his option, which
comes due on Sunday. All com
panies are battling to keep from
boosting salaries.
Anyway. Chester is set for the
Wells story. He is one of the
few American actors to land a
featured spot in James Whale
picture. Whale made up for this,
however, by sending the novel all
the way to England for r. c.
Sheriff. to put in final shape for
the screen.
After 1.-The Invisible Man." Carl
Laemmle, jr., has other plans for
Chester. The future looks bright
for him.

} plicimus about it. He tried to
pretend that he didn't hear
her the first time, but it didn't
work. The lady seemed to feel
that her company was worth
at least that much.
So the tightwad carefully re-
moved the fish hooks from his
pockets and Shelled out SIS
every time he went to Mrs.
Phillips house, which was
often. 1t hurt him plenty.
More than you'll ever know.
But he paid it, in the fervent
hope that Mrs. Phillips might
at least slip a friendly arm
around his shoulder. But no.
Mrs. Phillips was one of those
girls who are born to drink
men under tables.
After the quart had been con-,
.Sumed, Simplicimus would wend
his weary way homeward. Once
inside the kitchen, he would re-
gret the $5, and promptly lec-
ture his long-Suffering spouse
on the perils of parting with
pennies.
That would make him feel
better.
Life went on like that for
seven years. And in seven
years, Mrs. Phillips never gave
SimplicimuS more than the
empty bottle when he left.
Then one night he went there
with the wine, and Mrs. Phil
lips was not at home.
He stood in front of her door
for 10 minutes, debating
whether he should leave the
wine, or take it with him. Then
he left-with the bottle.
At home, he almost floored
his wife by walking in with
a smile.
Thought I'd surprise you"
he said. It brought home a
bottle of wine. It's good for
the blood. Get some glasses"
Surprise Party
His wife was dazed, but she
knew that there was no time to
lose. At any moment, the man
might change his mind, or she
might wake up and find that
she had been dreaming. So she
brought the classes.
Gimplicimus was stunned. His
was bad enough, wasting five
dollars for wine, without vast
ing it on a deadhead like his
wife. But he went through with
it, like the brave man he was.
The glasses were filled again
and emptied. Again, and yet
again.
Then sonnet thing strange
happened. Something strange
enough to send chills up and
down your spine. Mrs. Green
started to get playful! She
smiled. Her eyes lit up. She
made a witty crack or two. She
ambled over to Simplicimus and
kissed him. More than that, she
sat plump on his lap!
Simplicimus was stunned His
eyes were vacant, his lips hung
open. But when his wife started
to pat his cheek and call him
Daddy" it was too much. With
a wild shrek, he stood up and
floored her with hefty right.
When the cops came, they re-
vived Mrs. Green and led Sim
plicimus gently down the stairs
to the wagon. AS they passed
through the vestibule, the jani-
tor wrung his hands in anguish.
"Oh, Mr.. Green" he moaned.
I'm so sorry this happened.
It's terrible. That's what it is,
terrible"
He stared at the culprit.
Mrs. Green was such a nice
woman, too," he went on. "Oh,
why, Mr.. Green-why did you
do it?"
Simplicimus gazed at the jan
itor with bulging eyes.
"Why?" he cried, Its be-
cause I'm sore at the world,
that's why All my life I've been
trying to save. And now, after
seven long years, find I've
been buying wine for the wrong
woman"

outside OF that, she was
gay old gal.
Then along came Mrs. Phil
lips. Simplicimus met her one
evening as he was walking
homeWard. He was looking at
the sidewalk and thinking of
how he'd like to go gay, just for
once. when he collided with the
lady.
He excused himself with a
gTunt and a touch of his hat
brim, when she smiled. And
when she smiled. SimplicimuS

his name to one syllable. He

and then twisted his face by

house"
oh"
The Woman's smile widened.
I've seen you before" she
said. "You come home every
night about this time. Would
you mind helping me with these
bundles?"
That started it. It wasn't
anywhere near as serious as
you might think. Simplicimus
never made love to the lady.
Not that he wouldn't have liked
to, mind you. He'd have been
willing to sign away his chance
of being president for the op-
portunity. But the lady was
smart. She confined herself to
a Smile-which might mean
anything.
He visited Mrs. Phillips reg
ularly after that first knock
down. Simplicimus never wor-
ried about an unexpected hus-
band, either. Mrs. Phillips had
been kind enough to take that
fear off his chest soon by show
ing him the death certificate.
After that. Green took his hat
off and relaxed in the parlor.

The Washington times., 1933-06-03

It's not a new story. It's been
told before, and probably by
better story tellers. But it's a
good story. And good stories
are like good girls: They are
Scarcer and scarcer every year.
This is the story of Simplici-
mus Green. He got the first
name because his mother was
reading Roman history when
she should have been knitting
baby socks; and the last one
because his father was a man
of honor.
Marries a Slave
Strangely enough, Simplici-
mus Green grew up like other
kiddies, in spite of the name,
and got himself married to q
very quiet young lady whose
idea of welded bliss was to
slave all day in the kitchen
and cater to her husbands
crouch all evening. And that
was one thing Simplicimus had
in abundance-a crouch.
He would come home at
night with a dour face, grunt
a hello as he sat himself down
at the evening meal, and i'm
mediately find fault with the
world in general and Mrs. Green
in particular.
AS you can see, the man was
a trifle tight with money. Saw
ing pennies was his hobby.
That, and annoying his wife.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Green spoil
ed his game by buying things
so cheap that even Simplici-
mus couldn't find fault.
It's probably not the proper
thing to say, but Mrs. Green
was the type who was meant
to be nagged. She was very
plain looking, very humble in
attitude, and very dumb.
The perfect wife.
Day in and day out, year in
and year out, life was the
same monotonous grind for
Mrs. Green. Movies, of course,
were out of the question for her,
because Simplicimus never got
any passes. Women friends
were also taboo because friend
hubby thought they'd teach
her too much that she shouldn't
know. And sitting at the front
window was all wrong because
Simplicimus said it didn't look
right.
