Edgar Wallace Play

"CRIMINAL AT LARGE" the last
play written by the greatest of
mystery authors, Edgar Wallace, with
the distinguished stage star, Nance
O'Neill. in the leading role, will be the
final drama in the revival season OF
the National Theater, which comes to
q close this week.
Criminal at Large" is a play set in
rural England, has a mystery theme
that defies solution until the very last
minutes and is packed with excite
ment and tense moments. When it was
offered on Broadway last season it be-
came one of the 1888 soundest hits
and was universally commended by the
New York critics
Nance O'Neill will have the assist
ance of John Litel, Robert Ober, Freddy
Sherman, Edith Gresham, Burke
Clarke, Karl Nielsen, Clifford Brooke
and Forbes Fairbanks in the leading
roles.

say, depends on how unknown the un-

bit recognizable. his scheme of things

IL every bit of hokum that the
screen has prepared since its birth.
It is a victory of unreality over reality,
definite proof that you don't necessarily
have to dig deep into the soil to pull
out plum. After viewing it you Won
der how you could possibly have let
yourself in for such stuff. With amaze
ment you recall that moment when the
mayor and the governor come in to
pay their respects to Apple Annie"
With equal amazement you recall the
rehearsal of the various gangSterS out
parading as ministers OF state. Other
events which have hoodwinked you
crowd around.
Yet you have enjoyed them. The
film is a rouSing, uproarlous yarn, full
of laughs as well as tears, full OF queS-
tionable tactics and principles that are
extremely dubious. Nevertheless, they
have made you cry as well as laugh,
and you have been stirred by nice old
woman, instead of by series OF
amorous skirmishes. What more could
you want? May Robson, after so years
on the stage doing such job, gives you
a feeling of pride and contentment In
one of your fellow beings, and raises
the cheerful saying that there's life in
the old girl yet" Plenty-another
hundred years. We hope.

Boy Director Talks

TIRED out by months Of studio
work with hardly break for
rest and relaxation, Mervyn Le-
Roy, the boy director" of Hol-
lywood, arrived in New York.
Al least he said he was tired out, but
he really didn't look it, and he was
still as full of high spirits as ever.
,sc:nehow it is impossible not to be-
lleve that Mervyn will always be Holly
wood boy director" no matter how
many years may pass over his head.
He is only 80 now, and still the kid
among the ace maeStroS of the mega
phone but far more significant than his
actual age is the irrepreSsible enthus-
iasm that belongs to his essential per-
sonality. If Mervyn Leroy is interested
at all in anything, he is enthusiastic
about it He does nothing by halves.
And that is one secret of his success as
a director. furnishing an explanation
of a certain quality that has appeared
in st Am a Fugitive from a Chain
Gang" Little Caesar" 1.-TWO Seconds"
High Pressure" Tonight or Never"
Five Star Final" and so many other
pictures which he has brought to the
screen.
Just now-tired or not-he is en-
thusiastic over "The World Changes"

has just finished directing for First

the screen since the sensational II Am

request that Leroy vas ASSIGNED tn be
boss on the set when 1.-THE World

partnership of Leroy and NUM- is
thoroughly congenial one; they under
stand and like each other and seem to
approach production problems from
similar angle.

shortly after his arrival in New York.

he can do both with obvious success.

ancient rivals will be pitted against
each other, the Pirates and Slug

be on the mound with Griffin be-
hind the bat. For the Slugger
bunch. Bethel and Rodriguez are

team is even bit weak.

the untried Trojans together. The
Fenix has an extremely strong
club among all lines, while the
Trojans are weak in pitching and
have no outstanding players. How

to live up to it's name, in spite of
this. and give the best they have.

Iny AnaocIated I'ressl

foundation, but nevertheless te
somewhat surprising lengths, has
the impression gained ground that
the greatest Of baseball boxmen
; within the past half dozen years
Robert Moses Grove, has been 9
SOFT touch for the New York
Yankees.
I have debated this subject be-
fore on behalf of the celebrated
left-hander and am quite willing
to do so again in reply to this in
quiry from Joe Gootter, sports
editor os the Paterson IN. J.)
Evening News, to-wit:
did Lefty Grove ever pitch q
full game against the Yankees
and when?"
The answer is that Grove has
pitched no less than ten full
games against the Yankees within
the past half dozen seasons, give
or take a few bad breaks here
and there, and that he has more
than held his own against the
buffeting of the Yankee sluggers,
led by Ruth and Gehrig.
He beat them last June 10 by q
score of 8 to S over the full
route and gained another decision
over the champions for this years
record in a relief role. He also
wild-pitehed q game away at the
Yankee Stadium.
Lost Sin In '28
1t is true that Grove has not
always worked his regular turn
against the Yankees, who have
knocked the celebrated poFtsider
out of the box on number of
occasions with complete lack of
respect.
The idea that Lefty was soft
for the New Workers. developed
away back in 1928. however, when
he lost six games to the Yankees
and won only one. 1t has per-
sisted, despite the fact Connie
Mack's ace hurler has kept the
upper hand ever since. In fact
that was the only year in seven,
including the record of 1888 to
date, in which Grove failed to
capture a majority of his games
against the Yankees.
He won three and lost one in
1927, 1929 and 1891; won three
and lost two last year. In 1890
the books show only one decision
and no defeats for Grove Against
the Yankees, which helped to
strengthen the conviction Mack
was not exposing his southpaw to
unnecessary punishment from the
maulers OF Manhattan.
Who's DoAs Any Better
In 1891, his greatest year,
Grove pitched and won only one
fun game against the Yankees, on
May 25. He captured another as
. relief pitcher and was credited
with q third victory after being
knocked sout Of the box In the
sixth by Gehrig's home run with
