said to have inspired this story
made from the Broadway play.
The poem ran:
And if loved you Wednesday.
Well, what Is that to you?
! do not love you Thursday
So much is true.
ELISA Landi is French ballet
dancer who enjoys a romantic af-
fair with Victor Jory until she
finds he Is married. Then she
goes to South America and meets
o sturdy American engineer, with
whom she soon forgets the old
flame. He goes to America to
work on the Boulder Dam. She
back to Paris to pursue her dan
cling career. Both are successful
and are about to be married when
the assured Mr.. Jory turns up.
FOR a while it looks as though the
old love will be rekindled, but
Warner Baxter wins in the final
test.
Story Is Rambling
This story hops around too
much to ever get strong hold on
the audience. Furthermore, the
dialogue is too crisp and brittle
to sound real. Warner Baxter
docking a trifle fat and worm
plays the victorious lover smooth
" but without distinction. Victor
Jory adorned his role with sucn
Irritating assurance it was diff
cult to understand why a girl
like ELISA Landi would give him
serious consideration.
II Loved You wednesday" had
two directors, Henry King and
William Cameron Menzies. One
made Miss Landi act kittenish
like Lupe Velez, the other ap-
parently preferred more subdued
heroine. The result is that Miss
Landi impresses as a romantic
hybrid who is never able to make
up her mind. There are some in
teresting library shots of the
Boulder Dam operation worked
into the narrative.
The stage program this week
has two acts of genuine class.
Top honors go to Sibyl Bowan,

long time; so long, in fact, that
the characters will scarcely be
recognized when I write about
them here. Which is as it
should be-for those involved
are less likely to be hurt. I
only wish that all new sraper
stores could be written on the
same basis.
The characters are, of course,
the inevitable boy ana girl.
Well have to go back about
five years in order to start the
story and we'll have to look at
the characters in turn. First,
the boy:
Football Star
He was a handsome kid;
handsome, young, bold and
careless. He was in his s~nior
year at one of the bigger East
ern colleges, and he was as fine
a football player as you'd ever
want to see. If you're a foot
ball fan, his name would be
extremely familiar to you. And
the Lord knows it should be.
He was as we'll known in his
day IS the depression is now.
So Bill, although he didn't
know it at the time. was hitting
the high spots of his life. He
enjoyed as many cabarets as he
could visit, and he considered a
brandy contest the last word
in n and good times. So
strong was he, and so full OF
vitality, that no amount Of
dissipation seemed to make any
difference,
Drunk or sober, he was still
one leluva football player.
Now, the girl:
Violet was just a kid in a
cafe. She was a blonde, very
young and just little bit dizzy.
I'm trying hard to find more to
say about her. At the amount,
I cannot. Young, blonde, dizzy.
Yes, that tells the whole story.
In those days knew Bill far
better than = knew Violet. He
was an extremely likable guy in
spite Of his craziness. And the
only future he worried about
was the one in which led have
the best time.
What the devil. Mark" he
said to me one night, I'm only
a young fellow-and I'm nuts
about life. I'm having a swell
time right now, and that's the
way I'm going on. Why worry
about things?
And don't make any speeches
to me about Violet. I'm nuts
about her and you know it.
know she's working in a cafe,
and all that, but what's the
difference? You take my word
for the fact that she and are
going to settle down together
some day. Just wait and see."
The Pair Elopes
I didn't have to wait very
long. No more than two weeks
after those remarks, Bill and
Violet eloped one night to
small town in Maryland and
were married. Bill used gar
bled version of his name and
got away with it. The mar
riage was to be kept secret,
and it was-from practically
everyone.
To this day, the marriage of
Bill and Violet is known to
very, very few.
Were they happy? Say, for a
time, you never saw anything
like it. Those two mugs were
so nuts about each other that
it was almost impossible to
think Of any other couple that
might be as happy. Which was
just as we'll, I suppose. Because
if you watched those two long
enough, you were liable to go a
trifle batty on your own &C.
count.
About two years ago, I heard
that they had parted.
When I returned from my
trip, I ran into Violet at the
first opening I attended. Her
outfit and her attitude made
it obvious that she was in the
dough. Her escort was one of
the most despicable Of the
Broadway playboys. And if he
went with being in the dough,

When the chief reaches Barstow
tonight, he intends to be there

go through the train, hawking
blankets and trinkets, until he
reaches her apartment. What's
that about "once a gag-man?"
The appearance of La Garbo
at a sneak preview of Song of
Songs" went unsuspected by a
Pasadena audience, which surely
would have mobbed her. The
phantom SWede came in on the
arm of Reuben Mamoulian, slip
ped into an aisle seat on the
back row and made a dash for it
just before the picture broke. I
understand one Pasadena scribe
got wind that she was in the au-
dience. but missed her. He and
the man in the auto park we're
among the very few who knew
she was there.

everything is all right between
