Paul Mum Play
Here Feb. 27

Paul MUM, who achieved wide
national popularity through the
sensational motion picture Il Am
a. Fugitive From a Chain Gang"
will appear personally at the head
of the original New York cast OF
Elmer RIces comedy success,
"Counsellor-at-Law," for one week
starting Monday, February 27,
with an extra performance on
Sunday evening, March 5, at the
National Theater.
Reconsideration" in some re,
spects follows the pattern OF
"Street Scene" in that its subject
is treated somewhat in a pano.
ramic manner, although its text
is totally different from the earlier
work. "Counsellor" deals with the
rise of a Jewish lawyer from an
obscure and impoverished back,
ground to social and professional
heights.
At the pinnacle of his career
his high position and integrity
are threatened by the revelation
of past misdeed which had been
undertaken thoughtlessly as
humane act, but his own astute
wisdom frees him from his diff
culties and allows him to triumph
over his professional rivals.
Elmer Rice will present the play
here with it's original New York
cast and production. Supporting
Mr.. Mum will be such artists as
Jennie Moscowitz, Martin Wolf
son, Conway Washburne, Anne
Teeman, Regina Wallace, Angela
Jacobs, Malka Kornstein, T. H.
Manning, j. Hammond Daley,
Dorothy Day, Ned Glass, Sam
Bonnell, Doris Underwood, Harry
Mervis, Sue Moore and others.
The play is in three acts and was
staged as we'll as written by
Elmer Rice.

K. y. Finds John Barrymore Picture
A Rare Treat

Whimsical, tender, tragic, anus
ing, Withal sincere and delight
fully refreshing; such a person
does John Barrymore make of the
honest DR.. Topaze, a simple man
of few wants, who becomes, with
the wink of an eye, famous
scientist, made to the order OF
power and wealth, a direct an
tithesis to the system of merit.
Called Rare Treat
It is a big step forward in the
so-called art of pictured motion,
for screening "Topaze," playing
currently at RKOKeith's, was no
small feat; it could so easily have
become heavy, involved play OF
no particular value; instead, it
evolves a rare treat, stimulus to
jaded nerves.
The play concerns itself with
the futile effort of a gentle pro-
fessor of chemistry to instill IN
the vacuous minds of so small
boys, principles of justice, honesty,
straight thinking; a homely phi
losophy of live and let live. Dis
taste Of anything reeking OF
favoritism finally puts him out
into a cynical, unbelieving world,
where his honesty is mistaken for
stupidity, and his knowledge is
used for spurious business. There
is a woman, even in fantasies
there are women, who Is Shamed
by the sincerity of this man, Who
is a friend, indeed, and with the
fadeout, the eminent DR.. Topaze
is seen entering a cinema palace

Singing Remark

Singing Remark
Mr.. Taylor very stingingly
made the point that gentlemen
who lay down a burden which,
on investigation proves to have
been a feather, should not pant.
However, the revelation that
Gatti-CaSazza managed tor "a
years to run an opera company
in America without Shrieking
for donations is the point in Mr..
Taylor'S broadcast VIII / C n
arouses astonishment.
Others have tried it. They
have all failed. The most pic
turesque operatic failure of his
tory was that Of Max Rabinoff,
the astounding little hustler
from the Baltic, who once boldly
walked where Major Lee Hig-
ginson, First Citizen of Boston,
had got tired of treading. and
snatched the abandoned BoS-
ton Opera Company from under
! an auctioneer's hammer.
Mr.. Rabinoff had his sport
with the thing which has al
lured and ruined so many i'm
presarios-the notion that an
itinerant United States Opera
Company" can take to the road
and pay its way around the
country.
The troupe he got together
was a brilliant one. He per-
suaded the late Anna Pavlova,
probably the greatest ballet
dancer who ever lived, to cast
in her lot with the travelling
opera company.
They set out from Boston,
first stop Chicago. In Chicago,
the Chicago Opera Company,
subsidized then by Harold F.
Mccormick, looked with jealous
I eye on the invading troupe and
denied it the use of the Audi
torium Theater, the only house
in the city where Rabinoff could
conceivably show to enough pa
irons to realize profit.
Packs Theater
Nothing daunted, Rabinoff
packed his show into the rela-
lively tiny Blackstone Theater,
! packed it to the doors, turned
! hundreds away at every per-
formance, but went deeper into
the hole every time the lights
dimmed down and Conductor
