PIRATE" Opera
Is We'll Sung

The rollicking Pirates OF
Penzance" was the delightful
operetta presented by the Estelle
wentworth Opera Group at
Roosevelt High School Audi
forum last evening and to be
repeated tonight. This piratical
Gilbert and Sullivan comedy is
timely choice for the talents
of the cast who fit neatly into
the gay and laughing spirit of
the engaging musical.
So well do all the Soloists per-
form that it would be quite a
task to distinguish any one per.
former, as all are notably poised
and competent. Elliott Button,
the Pirate Chief, and Ira P.
Meyer, the Major General STAN
ley, are excellent both as to act
ing and as to voice: while j.
Raymond Baine, as Frederick, q
pirate apprentice, has charm
ing and pleasing stage presence,
but not quite so heavy a voice.
Harry Crow is outstanding as
possessing the easiest and most
gracious manner but his voice.
though tuneful, is disappointingly
lacking in volume. Harry e.
Yeide, as Edward, Sergeant of
Police does nobly and the male
chorus is well above the average
and exceedingly effective in the
lifting pirate songs.
Not to be outdone by pirates,
Virginia Weldon, as Mabel, the
youngest daughter of the General,
is a vivacious and engaging lead
ing lady, and Mildred Sherman,
as Ruth, pirate hand-maiden,
displays exceptional finesse and
ability. Alma Harris, Lucille Cha
conas, and Margaret Horn, three
other comely daughters, and a
bevy of attractive maidens are
charming in the girls choruses.
The finished manner in which
the play is conducted and the pol
ished performances of the cast
and choruses make this offering
one well worthy of commenda-
ton, a fitting achievement Of
the Community Center dramatic
endeavors, and a credit to Mrs.
Wentworth competent direction

Noel Coward Hit
Here Next Week

No author of the present day
is so talked of as Noel Coward,
due, no doubt, to his almost I'm,
broken string of stage and screen
successes. The author of 1.-The
Vortex" "Hay Fever" and "Pri-
vat Lives" reached his greatest
heighth this year with his
Design For Living" in which he
also acted with Alfred Lunt and
Lynn Fontaine, and "Cavalcade. :"
Rumor has it that Mr.. Coward
is shortly to be knighted by the
King of England, and a recent
command performance of "Caval-
cade" would seem to bear this
out. "Hay Fever" will be given
by the National Players, week
beginning May Is.

Miss Cummings
May Return To
Columbia
BY HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright, 1898, King Features
Syndicate. Inc.)

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, May 10.
In the face of several conflicting
statements, Hollywood was trying
to puzzle out yesterday whether
Constance Cummings and Column
bia Pictures will forget that they
were recent legal foes and resume
business relations, at least for one
picture.
Early in the day, a cable from
London told that Connie has been
signed to appear opposite Leslie
Howard in the film Gilbert Miller
supervises abroad. The salary
named, twas said, amounts to
many times the pay-check the
actress received as one of Colum-
bias regular players.
In contradiction of the London
message, Harry Cohn late yester-
day declared that Miss Cummings
positively will not be used in the
picture.
Thus the matter stands, a bit
confused and waiting explanation.
Meanwhile, Miller continues
preparations to start shooting as
soon as Howard can tear himself
away from Hollywood and report
for work. The picture, a sophisti-
Gated comedy of the type Of
Trouble in Paradise" has been
spicily titled THE Lady Is Will
ing" 10 Swerling, Columbia's
story ace, did the screen treat
ment.
Hollywood Parade
At Rouden Mamoulian's party,
Marlene Dietrich treated the film
colony to the latest thing in
masculinized dinner gowns. It
was a severely cut black silk
with a black jacket. At her
throat La Dietrich wore an over
sized white bow tie.
The star tells me she will try
to slip out of Los Angeles and
that she will carry her guards to
the very gangplank of the ship.
"After that" she said, II won't
need them" Then, showing she
has learned something of Ameri-
can superstitions, Marlene
leaned over and raped a wooden
table top with her knuckles.
Together again at the Mamou-
liam party, Sandra Shaw and
Gary Cooper drew speculative
glances. This time, the casual
Gary seems to be really inter-
ested.
From the cables and letters
that arrive daily, Ramon No
varro is still very much attracted
to Myrna 10y. If she can get
away, the actress may take trip
to Europe while Ramon is over
there. Incidentally, the Mexican
star is making a great success of
his concerts. He has signed for
three more engagements, London,
Berlin and repeat at Paris. .
Renee Adoree has recuperated
from her attack of influenza and
is feeling fine. She's living in

the level of human happiness with
out interfering with the welfare of
others is not regarded as wholly
foul by intelligent people.
The only danger of publicly ex-
pressing approval of acts which
conflict with accepted rules of be-
