Rice Will
Lecture Here

1.-THE Future of the Theater"
will be the topic of a lecture
to be delivered for the first time
before a Washington audience
Wednesday by Elmer Rice, famous
playwright, producer and author,
and winner of the Pulitzer prize
for the best American drama in
1929.
Mr.. Rice, who is on a nation

be introduced by E. de S. Mel
cher, dramatic critic. Mrs. Adolph
Kahn, of the educational commit
tee of the center, will preside.
Elmer Rice is looked upon as
one of Americas eminent play
wrights. Trained originally as a
lawyer, he might we'll have been
preparing briefs to appeal to
jurieS and judges if he had not
been swayed by the ambition to
write plays. It is a noteworthy
point that his first effort for the
stage had a legal flavor. At 81
years of age, he wrote "On Trial"
1t was published and it's out
standing success convinced Rice
that it would be worth while to
give up law and continue as
playwright. At 40, he is the
author of some Is dramas and
comedies. His plays have been
translated into many languages
and have been published in book
form. His works include 1.-The
Left Bank" "See Naples and
Die" 1.-The Home of the Free"
wake Up Jonathan" and "Close
Harmony"
Mr.. Rice's lecture is open to

A Vote For Robson

If sentiment guides the Acad-
envy of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences in balloting for the best
movie performance of 1934-and
I am sure it will be q factor
May Robson will get the gold
medal for Lady for a Day"
Her younger rivals are Kath-
airline Hepburn for Morning
Glory" and Diana Wynyard for
"Cavalcade." Both will probably
have many more chances for the
top honor but May Robson,
trouper for more than so years,
will not get another choice plum
like Lady" unless she has
extraordinary luck.
In the male division the nomi-
nations are Paul MUM for I'm a
Fugitive From a Chain Gang"
Charles Laughton for private
Life of Henry VIII" and Leslie
Howard for Berkeley Square,"
My vote would go for Mr.. Mum.
It would be ironical for Hollywood
if Laughton wins the medal. For
all of Laughton'S American pic
lures have been firSt-rate flops.
On a California holiday he went
back to England and made his
greatest picture and his only box

miere. Book and choreography

duction, in the role of the gay
young hussar.
The evening performance at
$3.50 p. m. also will be composed
of three ballets and conclude
with the Johann Strauss ballet.
The opening number will be

Songs in
Novarro Library
BY Feg Murray

Among the notable collections
of the world may be listed the pri-
vate musical collection of Ramon
Novarro, the romantic favorite Of
movieland, who is now appearing
both in person and on the screen
at LoeW'S Fox Theater.
Novarro'S collection now num-
berS nearly 5000 selections. ABOUT
one third of these have been add
ed since talking pictures revised
the Importance of music as a fac
tor in the career of a film person
atty. The remainder has been
gathered by Novarro in the days
when singing was his private pleas
ure, rather than a matter for pub
lie consumption.
There are many libraries of mu.
sic larger than Novarro's, but
none, reports affirm, that special
ize in one type of music. The
Novarro collection is exclusively
of songs and is believed to be the
largest of it's kind. Most libraries
cover a wide field of dance music,
orchestrations, operettas and the
like.
Included in the Novarro library
are all the original composers
copies of all the numbers he has
sung for the talking screen. These
include the Pagan Love Song"
which he sings as feature of mis-
personal appearance this week;
shepherds Serenade," Charm
ing" Dark Night" and Lone
ly." Included also are THE Night
Was Made For Love" and "She
Didn't Say Yes" two of the song
features of the musical romance
'The Cat and the Fiddle" and in
which Novarro appears with
Jeanette Macdonald on the Fox
screen currently.

HoIdup Men Collect
From Stars; Cases
Are Not Reported
BY HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright, 1884, King Features
SYndicata Incl

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 27.-Un-
known even to the police,
holdup men are collecting a
rich toll every year from motion
picture celebrities.
The famous victims simply
neglect to report the robberieS.
Some do it out of fear of re-
prisals, but more because they
don't want to go through the
complicated business of identifi-
cation and Of prosecution If a
suspect is singled out.
A case in point is the holdup
two nights ago of Frances Dee
and Joel McCrea. No record Of
the crime is on any police blot
ter. But this is what happened.
The film couple drove out to
visit Frances sister in Pacific
Palisades. Just as they stopped
the car, q masked man stepped
out from bheind some shrubbery
and stuck gun in Joel's ribs.
He commanded:
Get out, give me whatever
money you have and walk slowly
to the house"
Both handed over their pocket
books and the stick-up man also
took Joel's watch and overcoat.
Then he faded into the night.
AS it happened, the entire
value of the stolen property was
only about $3.50. Frances has
just finished a picture at R-K-O
and she wanted to 60 out Of
town. So she and Joel simply
wrote off the loss.
Their case is only one of
dozens.
The wit of Mrs. Patrick Camp
bell has lost none of its keenness.
For some weeks past, the
former toast of London has been
playing a blustery British COW
ager in the Norma Shearer pic
ture. The part isn't a caricature,
but it is sharply drawn.
The other day on the set, some
one congratulated Mrs. Campbell
on her performance.
81 only hope you're right" she
sighed. "YOu know / sacrificed
my chances of being buried in
Westminster Abbey to play this
role"
May Robson is perhaps the
first film actress to be met at the
station by a bird in a gilded cage.
The first thing that the star saw
when she got off the train in
Pasadena, was her colored maid
waving a cage containing her IS
year-old canary. May now has
seven canaries and a collection of
yellow parokeets, finches and five
bluebirdS. the latter being aug
mented by three blessed events
during their owners absence on
a personal tour.
Although the actors and part
of the writer's have withdrawn
from the organization, the Acad-
envy of Motion Picture Arts and
Science will present its usual
awards of merit at a banquet on
March 16. There won't be a lot
of fussy speeches and, this year,
no national broadcast of the
event. The affair will be a din

dition to his basic salary Of S.

will get at least $11, 900 for his
