NEW AMATEUR
GROUP IN Il
THRILL PLAY
Theatercraft Giues
'.ShadO,U WOn,an''
Successfully.

Theatercraft, Washingtons newest
dramatic group, last night presented
Shadow Woman" written and directed
! by Hall Hopper, local playwright. This
| group sponsored by the Womans In
ternational Legaue, will bring much
theatrical circles, judging from their
! first presentation.
| Hall Hopper has written an exciting
play, marred only by a dinner scene
that seems a bit prolonged and Sketchy
! and one or two irrelevant spots where
! he placed bit too much emphasis on
producing thrills and left the audience
alone to clear them up. (Who, for in
stance, pounded SO impolitely on the
door at the end of the second act?)
And built as it is around a beautiful
victim of amneSia, who sees featurelesS
faces and tries on two occasions to kill
the artist who has befriended her, it
does seem bit illogical to leave this
same artist happily entwined In her
arms without ever having cleared her
killing complex nor her amnesia, and the
artist still in as much danger Of being
killed as before.
This amnesia victim, as played by
Helen Shields (she pierced the evening
with many potentially blood-curdling
screans) is a very convincing character,
and leaves one with the impression that
her company might. on occasions, be
very dangerous. The artist, Kenneth
Basil. who befriended the unfortunate
victim and fell in love with her, is
character of strength in the calm hands
of John Shellie. Mr. Hopper, the au-
thor, also appears in the play in
minor role, along with Edward Finlay-
son, Frences Storrs, Ted Tenley, Virginia
Weeks and Sally Thornley,, who make
their appearances only in the second
act, in that weird dinner party inter-
rupted by so mank shrieks from Miss
Shields.
Finding himself between choosing the
love Of this mad woman, who may or
may not be a murderess (Mr. Hopper's
evidence is very convincing), or that of
a former model 10 Merideth (played
in deep, booming voice by Clare Sar-
desperate one. This is cleared in the
end by phone call from Detective
Wells donald A. Bolton), explaining
that he had found the woman who
murdered old Mr.. Grayson and, there
fore, Myrna was cleared of all suspicion
On the whole, Shadow Woman" was
a very exciting play, staged in an excel
lent manner. The technical staff for
the play included George Finger, stage
manager; katherine Werneke, art di-
rector; Mrs. Daniel Partridge, proper
ties, and Charles Wire, music. They
are to be credited with an exceptional
stage setting. j. N. H.

Miss Hepburn to Leave

Announcement That She Will Have Leading Role
in The Lake" on Broadway This Fall-Stage
Training Now Essential for Cinema.
By E. de S. Melcher.

nection with the talkies? We are /,
separate entity-what we do before the
camera should be distinguished from
what they do on Broadway"
Then he went on: why compar,
stage performance with a perform
ance on the screen? Why compare
any one to anything? Why sugges
that the films aren't as old as thet
grease-paint forbears? Why mentor
the stage at all?
WITH this sort of attitude, it is
obvious that Miss Hepburn's re-
turn to the stage will not be shouted
about in film circles. We believe. how
ever, that Hollywood is actually nc
longer afraid of Broadway-there is nc
reason for it to be-and that the gen.
tlemen who are a bit timid about COM
parsons between stage and screen are
in the minority.
After all. the stage is now feeding the
cinema. Only yesterday We got letter
from one of the leading film companies
apropos a young person who hoped to
crash the films. Sorry" wrote the film
executive, "but we do not make tests OF
people who have had no stage training
these days"

fore, why bite off the ear of one when
it is essential to the wellbeing of the
other?
Nevertheless it is fact that when
you say that you do not believe a GER
tain picture makes as much sense as did
it's stage ancestor, certain film poten-
tates growl And If you state that,
say. an Alice Brady, is not so beneficial
to the cast of When Ladies Meet" as
was Miss Byington in the original stage
production, the walls shake and film
kings blister the air with their sorrows.
Miss Hepburn is one player, however,
whom the films should brag about
When she returns to Broadway people
will say: Now here's young thing
who has risen to the skies due to at
tending to business in the film racket"
Unlike the weepy-eyed Tallulah Bank
head, who was almost reduced to pulp
by the unseeing eye of the camera, she
will go back to the stage full of Holly
wood honor and prestige and she will
be a happy emissary from one branch
of the arts to the other.
Therefore, there should be no weep
ing and gnashing of teeth. Picture
magnateS should not hope that she will
do a funereal boom" behind the foot
lights. Rather, they should pray for
mighty ovation for this gaunt but at
tractive daughter of the cinema. who
was so good in her initial film venture
that she almost put Mr.. John Barry
more in the shade
Most interesting film news of the day:
Douglas Fairbanks, jr., is returning
from Europe to play in Paramounts
screen version of Design for Living"
He will join Miriam Hopkins and Fred

no longer Coward, but straight Ben

Bllbo in discussion of his philosophy
regarding administration of the act said
he regarded the CLOSING of the gap
between prices paid to farmers and
prices paid by consumers" as the big
gest task.
There are good many people some
OF the best organized, who will have to

HOLLYWOOD should, however, be

cinema has done much to bolster the
reputation of this enigmatic star
