TIGERS AND
BOBCATS In
THIS PICTURE
But Stars at Columbia
Are Sally Eiers and
Richard ArIen.

An auto camp Is a peaceful enough
place, providing it isn't one like Duke
Gordon's, where tigers and bob cats
held the center Of the stage. This,
however, Is what Is to be found at the
"She Made Her Bed" starring Sally
Eilers and Richard Arlen.
Miss Eilers' luck in the past year In
drawing screen plays hasn't been so
good. That is, until she decided upon
She Made Her Bed" which is not q
fitting title for the film. Even though
melodrama, the almost passe element
Of the screen, does play q large part
in her latest film, she Is able to keep
1t from seeming altogether impossible.
In fact, up until melodrama does make
its entrance, Miss Eilers, aided by
Richard Allen and Robert Armstrong,
gives this story Of such an unimposing
place the touch needed so very much
to make it an interesting film.
She Made Her Bed" Is, incidently,
the debut Of Richard Arlen, jr., son Of
Miss Eilers' leading man. Junior has
a very tough time of it for a youngster.
Having to look tigers in the mouth
and being stuffed into Ice boxes In
burning buildings isn't exactly the
easiest Job in the picture.
AS one may have gathered from its
title, Miss Eilers did have a hard bed
to lie on, being married to a man
whose interests in life were worrying
bobcats for the benefit Of camp Gus
toners and being ladies' man with
any one OF them who was pretty
enough to merit his attention. In
this instance it happened to be Grace
Bradley, a newcomer to Hollywood,
who also happens to be very pretty.
And, as is usual, when pretty girl
or young woman is in distress, there
came to the camp Doc. Smith, snake
oil seller, who became too much in
terested in Miss Eilers' plight. Once
they were on the verge of running
away together, when she discovered
her husbands unfaithfulness. She
sends Arlen away when she finds
there is going to be a Duke, jr. He
returns some time later, in time to
watch the demise of Duke, sr., who
Is trying to get an escaped tiger back
into his cage. In the scuffle a stove
Is overturned, setting fire to the camp
and completing the job the tiger
started.
There are some very good spots In
this film in which the acting is be-
yond the story-a scene at the county
fair. the evening Miss Eilers sends
Mr.. Arlen away and in all of Mr.
Armstrong; scenes. He plays the
boastful and unfaithfui Duke Gordon
with f1nesse. J.N.H.

Although the film Is faithful to the
play, well acted by Fredric March,
Helen Westley and others, although
the idea has always been a fantasti-
cally good one and Is presented with
something of the same eerie atmos-
phere that made the play as good as
1t was, we doubt if the average run
of film audiences will take very kindly
to this picture, preferring less thought
and more action to their entertain
mentS.
Nevertheless, for the sort of thing
that it is Death Takes Holiday"
is an interesting film. If you go in
the proper mood, allowing yourself
to sink deep into the lines, and to
lap up some Of its excellent philosophy.
you will come out refreshed and
somewhat invigorated. In spite OF
the fact that 1t seems little silly
for a girl to go around incoming after
Death when she has several perfectly
stout" fellows at hand, If you are
willing to believe that death Is as
pleasant a gentleman as Fredric
March and that you would cross the
threshold of this world and the next
in his honor without protest, then
you will enjoy the picture to the teeth
and not mind when Evelyn Venable
trips over and beyond the River Styx.
The main idea behind this play
was and is that love is greater than
illusion and stronger than death"
With this pronounced nicely by Mr..
March at the very end of the picture,
you instinctively feel that there Is
more to the story than you had per-
haps fancied and that If you went
back over it you might enjoy certain
sequences that seemed perhaps gently
tedious.

As an alluring and fascinating

We are forced to disagree with GER
tain noted contemporaries who feel
that the picture is as good as the play.
To us it is vastly less moving, less pic
turesque, and not by half so well
played. There isn't a character that
seems real-except, perhaps, little
Henry Travers, who wears, apparently,
the same bathrobe he wore in de-
sign for Living" The others drift in
and drift out, even the raucous Miss
Wesley, without accomplishing much,
except to wheel about when Death
approaches and wheel away when he
departs. Further than that, although
Mr.. March is one of the worlds most
attractive actors, he does not begin
to approximate the gaunt. specterlike
Death that made Philip Merivale so
uniquely satisfying in the original
role. We cannot think Of any one
who would act it better-except Lon
CLANCY, who, alas, would have to do
1t in another world.
Other participants include Kath-
crime Alexander, mostly wasted in a
shallow part; Kent Taylor, who has
profile, and the dreamy-eyed Miss
Venable, who Is something Of a sue
cess, but who does not go off to her
Death with half the whinsy that Lii
liam Gish might have put into 1t.

THESPIAN SOCIETY IN
COMEDY BY A. E. THOMAS
"Come Out of the Kitchen" Draws
Enthusiastic Audience at
Pierce Hall.

A well-produced comedy means an
evening of entertainment, and judg-
ing by the audience that witnessed the
presentation of A. E. Thomas Come
Out of the Kitchen" presented by the
Thespian Society of the First Church
of the Covenant last night, such an
evening was enjoyed by all. The
play, presented in the Pierce Hall Au-
ditorium, Fifteenth and Harvard
streets, will be repeated tonight at
800 o'clock.
An unlimited amount of pleasantries
are brought on by the show, which,
coupled with It's exciting moments,
is very amusing. With story revolv-
ing around two youths who rent their
only world possession, a house, and
then are employed as servants to its
tenants, one may see the possibilities
of mirth. But that is brought more
into view by the love angle OF the
production, which 1t Is to be assured,
is an extremely amusing one.
Olivia Dangerfield, portrayed by
Clara Tate; Amanda, the Southern
nanny, alias Emily Tate; gave a
fine performance. 1t would not be
fair, however, to place one actress or
actor above another in their ability to
perform, for each did equally well.
Isaac Avery, Wilton Colt. Anna Mae
Poor, in their respective roles Of Paul.
Charles and Elizabeth Dangerfeld,
were also good. Others in the per-
formance were Richard Thorn, Arthur
wise, Ethel Wakefield, Helen Maugh-
lin, George Rose and Leo Quacken-
bush.
The dinner scene of act three was
particularly well executed. The set
tings used for the presentation were
in very good taste, and for this credit
should be given John H. Collier and
Owen Selby, In charge Of stage man
agenent and properties. c. r. Schmit-
kin, as director, and Emily Davis as
assistant director, also did their work
well. P. N. j.

He was a bit on the lean side by
the time the instructions for the
death scene were finally given:
"Digges, go to the end Of the
wharf, wave with a sort Of sad but
courageous air, and sway back and
forth as II about to cast yourself into
the water"
Dtgges did as he was told.
"Okay," said the director. That's
all for you Mr.. Digges. Oh, give us
your hat"
The hat was cast into the water.
Out shot a long pole with bottle
Of some kind Of fluid. The fluid
darkened the water in a trice. The
cameras lowered for a closeup. And
Dudley Digges was dismissed.
Il hung around to see how 1t was
done," he confded. 1.-The alligators
were churning in the waterfall on
ropes. A stunt chap hurled himself
into the water and started to swim.
He swan out of focus across the tank
and got out. Then a piece Of meat
was flung in, the ropes were cut, and
the alligators closed in for the big
death scene. Fadeout was my hat
and that bottle of fake blood, and to
think didn't sleep for weeks over
it!'
