Observing the crowds which
are packing Loew's Palace Thea
ter, where the film version of the
play is now showing, 1mpresario
Stephen Erlanger Cochran, of the
National Players, realizes the big
mistake of 1888 was not giving
his stock troupe the opportunity
to traipSe in the Broadway hit.
He placed it late on the produc-
tion list and his company sue
cumbed to the E Street heat wave
before it was reached.
In the screen version are some
unusual pictorial effects which, of
course, were not possible with
the limitations and restrictions of
the stage. For instance, when Ann
Harding and Myrna 10y sing a
love song at the grand piano, the
lights go out and the silhouette
effect and later the Subdued light
ing of the screen represent the
skilled Illuminating engineers of
Hollywood in an inspired moment.
AS an example of architectural
beauty and planning, the re-
modelled country rendezvous of
"Bridgie" is something to shout
about. No HOLLYWOOD picture has
been given finer settings. Credit
Cedric Gibbons for these.
While the acting of Ann Har-
ding, Robert Montgomery, Myrna
10y and Alice Brady is tremend-
ously effective, Frank Morgan
with a smaller part had the most
difficult acting assignment. In at
least two of his big scenes he
must add to their impressiveness

Too Much Noise

Louis Goodman of 231O Ash
mead Place N. w., who admits he
enjoys the movie shows from the
balcony complains of the noise
which comes from the projection
booths. He says recently balcony
patrons at one of the down town
theaters were compelled to stand
up and shout "Stop the noise up
there" in order to check the
racket which was interfering with
the stage performance. Mr..
Goodman is specific and names
the theaters where he has been
annoyed by this wholly unneces-
sary loud conversation. He hopes
the managers will take note of it.
Ashton Stevens, drama critic of
the Chicago American, suggests
that portraits of players and play
wrights decorate a new issue of
United States currency. He would
allot the denominations in this
fashion: $50, Edwin Booth; $40,
Katharine Cornell; $40, Alfred
Lunt and Lynn Fontanne; $5,
Ina Claire; So, Eugene O'Neill; ;
81 bill, William Gillette. George
M. Cohan or George S. Kaufman;
silver 81, Ethel Barrymore; so
cents, Mcintyre and Heath; Is
cents, Phil Baker; 10 cents, Le-
more Uric; 5 cents, Texas Guinan.
He also has ideas about actors
on new postage stamps, but it is
well not to go into that, since
they have to take too many lick
ings as it is. Spain, according
to Theater Arts Monthly, has an
ticipated Stevens project by plac-
ing a portrait of the famous Span,
ish dramatist, Calderon, on it's
new 25-peseta notes.

Hollywood Parade

This Francis Lederer, they'll as
sure you, is no sissy. His hobby is
wrestling and he's having a porta-
BILE gymnasium installed in his
house.
Wonder who pedaled down the
idea of Mae West owning stable
of prize-fighters. Timony, her
manager, is telling the world
there's no truth in it. Says he:
Miss West likes watching boxing
matches and she admires fighting
men, but she has no time to man
age a pair of fighters"
After two years, Dolores Del Rio
is swimming in her plunge for the
first time. Johnny Weissmuller
taught her how. Tala Birell-you
remember her, the girl Universal
thought was another Garbo-has
not left Hollywood, after all. She's
taken house at Malibu with her
mother. Poor Tala. American
men quite disconnected her. "They
always talk business" she said.
4lley Jake a woman along JuSC
for companion"
Perhaps it's all in fun, but
Eleanor Holm and Art Jarrett are
seeing a lot of each other these
days. The Junior Laemmle angle
seems to be passe. Ted Fiorito,
who'll be bringing his band to a
local film theater on the twenty
second, also will make a short for
RKO during his stay in Los
Angeles.
If report be true, John Miljan's
face was very red the other eve
ming when he drowned out the
other three members of a quartet,
to be told afterwards that the
tenor was John Mccormack.

game is to play it by yourself.
Some people can do that.
Others can't. This poor kid
was evidently one of those who
couldn't. She left note
stating that she hated Broad
way and most of the people
upon it. She couldn't stand the
gaff and the gossip. And her
suicide was the result.
I didn't consider Jerry Rogers
a stupid girl by any matter of
means. She was far from the
dumb chlorine type, and there
was very evidently a certain
amount of education in her
background. Her home town
was WilliamSport, Pa, and she
was another marcher in the
parade of beauty contest win
ners. That's a sad parade, my
friends. The marcherS march
everywhere but to happiness
yet it's a parade that never
ends.
So Jerry tackled show buSi-
ness-and Broadway. She was
introduced to night clubs and
to the stuff that bubbles so
prettily when it's poured into
a glass. Better than anyone
else, she knew that it was bad
for her to drink too much.
She grew moody, and then irs
responsible. She went on the
wagon a number of times. But
never for a long time.
A Tough Street
The months rolled by, and
the girl found Broadway
tougher and tougher to beat.
She almost met death once be-
fore she leaped from a speed
ing taxi after an emotional
outburst. She was in the hos
pital a long time after that
and, when she came out, she
should have gone back to Will
Transport forever.
But she didn't. She re-
manned on Broadway and kept
fighting a life that, with her
temperament, didn't offer her
a chance. Everywhere she
turned, the odds were against
her. Two more years flew
by. She loved one man, but
his ardor cooled. She fell
deeply in love with another.
but he was married. And the
cup that cheers turned out to
be the cup that jeers.
So the result was almost
inevitable; 13 floors in a hor-
rible plunge to death. Just
another beautiful child who
hated Broadway but who
wouldn't go back to the home
town.
They shipped her away yes
terday, the poor kid. In the
end, she had to go back home
anyhow.
Didn't want to do a sob
story today. But no matter
how 1 start, that seems to be,
the way the column always
winds up. Think I'll fool 'em,
however. I'll wind up with a
gag instead of a tear. That,
at least, will be something.
Let's see now. Have I got
a gag around here? With Win
chell out of town, I should be
able to grab at least one that
hasn't been used before. All,
yes, here's one:
Have you heard about the

All In; Day
THOUGHTS ON A HOT DAY
MARK HELLlNGER

I'M LAZY today. Don't feel
Ike doing anything. It's too
hot. Think I'll just ramble
along and write about nothing
in particular. Which will make
the column just about the
same as all the other days.
Might as we'll start with the
Schmeling-Baer fight. Although
1 like Schmeling a lot, I'm
glad the fight turned out as
it did. Glad for DempSey'S
sake. Because Baer is going
to be the champion of the
world and he will do all his
fighting for Jack. And Jack
deserves all the success that
can come his way.
Dempsey Method
He handled this fight in
remarkable fashion. There was
no detail too small for him to
tackle personally. He even
made friends by his system of
ticket distribution, which is the
first time in history that such
a thing ever happened.
I notice, incidentally, that
Baer is going to marry June
Knight, of Broadway and points
West. June worked with us in
"Hot-Cha" and was we'll liked
by everyone around the produc-
ton. She and Baer should be
rather happy for a time, which
is about all anyone expects
from a marriage between two
people in the Broadway spot
light.
Just a word of caution, June.
You've got to handle that big
guy carefully. There'll be no
body around for a long time
who'll be able to knock out
Baer. Unless it's Baer himself.
And now what? Seems to
me that it's getting hotter and
hotter. Wonder how long it
will be before all houses are
built with cooling systems? We
have all the equipment and
there's no reason why it
shouldn't be done. But it
isn't.
Funny how much more severe
the heat seems here than it
does in other places. About
four months ago was in
Bangkok, Siam, and the aver
age temperature ran to around
100 degrees. But I didn't mind
it; at least it seems to me now
that I didn't. When it's really
hot I think New York is the
hottest place in the world.
I suppose I should say a
little something about Jerry
Rogers, the showgirl who leaped
13 floors to her death the other
morning. Her tragic story has
been told a thousand times be-
fore. It will continue to be
told as long as there is a
Broadway on which to tell it.
Sweet Chlorine
I didn't know Jerry we'll Of
recent days. But she had been
a good friend when she first
landed in the chorus of zieg-
fields "RoSalie." She was a
decidedly pretty girl in those
days, and there was a definite
sweetness about her that made
all the other girls like her.
Strange, then, that she should
leave a note stating that she
had but one girl friend in the
world.
But that's what the Broad
way scheme of things does to
people. You may be bitter. but
you've got to take it. You've
got to be able to live your own
life and let the gossips say
what they will. You've got to
realize that nobody wants you
to be happy on Broadway, and

CHICAGO. Aug. Weakness in

much as a cent lower early. Senti-
ment was mixed as foreign markets

At the close wheat was g to z
