 Modern Drama


 Paris = (UP) = Tn contrast to It's decline in other parts of the world, the theater rapidly is pro- dressing as an institution in Soviet Russia. according to Comoedia, French daily newspaper devoted to drama and the arts.
 In a front page article, Paul GseH, dramatist and critic, who went to Russia to make special survey of the legitimate stage there, declared, that other nations have much to learn from Soviet producers, authors, directors and actors.
 M. Gsell said that. he wa ssur- prised to find such gorgeous set- tings and costumes at Moscow, in. dicating that the Soviet govern ment is expending large sums to subsidize the advancement of modern drama.
 Particularly was M. Gsell im- pressed by the cooperative acting of all members of the cast, from unimportant supernumeraries to the stars. He said that even in mob scenes when the mob was merely a background for some body. else's acting, he never once caught a single person mapping on the stage.

This production marks Miss Hutchinson's bow in talking pictures being formerly a member of Eva Le Gallienne's Civic Repertory co.

Dick, who came to the front. in musical spectacles s,sch as "Footlight Parade" "Dames," :" Twenty Million Sweethearts" and other musicals. now proves that he not only has an exceptionally pleas irg singing voice, but that he is a thoroughly capable actor.
 Happiness Ahead" gives him more opportunity for straight act- ing than any of his other pictures. While his singing will captivate everyone who hears him, so also will they be fascinated by his talented work in the romantic role.
 Powell's catchy songs include Pop Goes My Heart" and Beauty Must Be Love" He sings a third in a comedy duet with Frank Me- Hugh, entitled ''Massaging Window Panes."
 The companion feature is 'I'll Fix It," a story about politics and politicians with Jack Holt and Mona Barrie in the starring roles.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-When

And although Harry can't go
out there on the Polo Grounds
Sunday to repeat his whirling
dashes or electrifying passes
against the Chicago Bears as his

less be playing an important role
in the Giant system of pattle.

of that stripe. Another thing,
while Byrd could hit ball long
way, he was a pull hitter. That
is, swinging from the right-hand
side of the plate, he drove a ball
into left field. On Yankee Sta
dium the outfielders could play
deep and if necessary run deeper
to get a ball. Sammy'S most ter
rifle shots were just long flies IN
the stadium, and he didn't play
often enough on foreign fields to
make up for points lost at nome.
The sole salvation Of Byrd as
a ball player may be worked at
the midwinter meeting In New
York next week. Rogers Hornsby

Yankees if he can get fair shake

park would suit his range to per

Critics in New York seem to
agree that the task of Joe NC
Carthy this winter will be in get

very much of a question mark.

Inc NOCre lame season only
had about eight minutes to go
and was enough ahead for
Rockne to gamble a little and
let this kid go in.
"All right, SandOw," said
Knute. Go ahead and get in
there. Show them your prep
school record!"
On the very first play the
ball went through his position
for a first down by the oppos-
ing team; and, of course, the
young man was out of the
game before he was barely in it.
But even Rockne, with his
ready wit and sparkling eye, I
believe, would revise his lack of
reliance in comparative records
were he able to take a look at
a series of incidents in the
football scores of 1884 concern
ing certain group of colleges
in the Southland, namely, VAN
derbilt, Alabama and Missis-
Sippi State.
Perfect Indicator
The comparative records Of
those three football teams, as
concerning themselves, worked
out to such an exact certainty
that it would take calculus,
1ogarithmS, algebra and higher
mathematics generally to dis
prove the actual developments,
as established by their scores.
Meaning exactly this
Vanderbilt defeated Missis-
Sippi State by 7 to 0 the first
Saturday of the football sea-
son. Then two weeks later
Alabama defeated Mississippi
State by Al to 0.
The natural conclusion there
by, going by compar tive
scores, Is that Alabama was "a
points better than Vandy, isn't
1t?
Sure-even Rockne would ad-
nit that!
All right.
Thanksgiving Day comes along
and Alabama beats Vanderbilt
by exactly
Thirty-four to nothing!
Presto - comparative records
do mean something, after all, as
who said they didn't!

And lest we forget, Mrs. Mildred
Cronin was on hand looking just
fine and smiling at all her
friends. She loves San Francisco,
and since the fog rolled in over
the banks only once or twice since
she was out there, she thinks the
town is just oucky.
The Same Old Joe
OF course you can't tell whether
its the change of scenery or what
that has made such change in
Cronin. But he is different. That
weary look is gone from his eyes.
He has the old snap and verve,
and the ready Irish wit that en-
deared him to a host of men in the
baseball world.
He has job in front of him.
But since he refused to talk until
he gets to Boston, the writer will
have to do some guessing for
him. There's the right side Of
the infield to repair. With Joe
and Werber, the left-field side
looks to be invulnerable. But
they've got to beg, borrow or
steal a second7sacker and a first
baseman. Without requirements
of major league caliber, on the
right side of the inner works,
the Sox will get no higher than
fourth, or so it looks from this
angle. But since Cronin knows
that better than the layman, he
will make the right move at the
right time.
While Joe was artfully dodging
the thrusts of the local news
Clark Griffith found
time to say that he would do no
trading at the winter meeting.
Just read that and weep-or
laugh as you see fit. Griff says
he will buy a pitcher or two
but that the outfield will

Byrd led the outfielders of the
American League in defensive
work last year, but the proba-
bilities are that Sam grimaced a

You see, Byrd was Babe Ruth'S
relief man. Along about the
seventh inning of games when
Ruth was having a tough time of

would reach up without being told,

He made only two errors, and one
