HANDY ANDY,' AT POLT'S TOMORROW
Will Rogers in Hilarious Cinema-Mickey Mouse
 in New Cartoon

The two greatest stars of the screen, on the same bill, that Is what ia being offered at Polis to- morrow, namely Will Rogers, the nclxnowiedged King of the Screen" and Mickey Mouse, who receives the greatest amount of tan mail of any star.
 Handy Andy' the latest Rogers picture, keeps you in stitches of laughter at all times. Without doubt it is the funniest picture this ace of comedians has made, dialogue and situations keep the roars coming and the entire pie ture is a whirlwind of continuous laughs. He is more human than ever and positively more hilarious.
 Rogers portrays the part of a snall-town druggist who wants to work in peace, but his wife ex- pertly played by Peggy Woods, one of the screens greatest actresses, nags him to sell out and learn to play which he does. :. and how.
 First he becomes a pigeon fam cier-and lets his pets fly all over the house-then he takes up golf and with what results. The climax comes when his wife makes him ldk6 d lTlp lO lHc MdFul-IFdS III New Orleans, where she tries to have him dress in a fancy cos tune, but Will visits some joy juice parlors and gets the idea of coming to the party as Tarzan, which he does and how he carries on from there and finally lands in jail.
 Rivaling in every way the fea- ture picture will be Mickey Mouse in his latest cartoon comedy "Gul- liver Mickey" This will be appre- ciated by young and old alike. To complete the show there will be the usual carefully selected shorts, for which Polls is famous, making in all a program worthy of Wa terbury's palatial theater.

Hollywod.-If you have any as- pirations toward a career on the silver screen, make sure that your name contains exactly ten letters or else pick a new name which does have that magic number.
 This bit of advice is offered after making a survey of the film colony and finding that ten-letter names are vastly in the majority. Just what the reason for this may be is something can't answer.
 Perhaps such names lok better on theater marquee. Or perhaps they are easier for the public to re- member. In any event, ten-letter names do predominate.

On the Wl0le II was eXceuenlly
given. The scenery was as adequate
as a stage of the size of the National
would permit and the costumes rich
and colorful. The weak points of the
production lay in the too small and
insecure chorus, particularly in the
mems section, and the thin orchestral
tone. In the chorus ensembles the
intonation was lamentably bad, the
few singers who were sure Of their
music not being able to lift the sing
ing to a proper plane. But this is an
incidental. for the general presentation
was in keeping with the traditions
and as well done as company of
this size could be expected to put on.
The leading roles were distributed
adequately, the singers by their ap-
pearance and acting clearly en-
vlSualiZing the roles Alma Peterson
as Elsa sang with pure tone and re-
poseful phrasing of great dignity.
Her opening aria contained vocal
beauty, for the quality and compass of
her voice is well adapted for this role.
One might have wished that she had
kept more in the character by ad-
assembled mobiles rather than to the
audience. for her voice has sufficient
power to carry even when not directed
straight into the theater. In the sub
sequent big moments she gained still
more in control and lyricism, and her
fine understanding of the value of
each poetical phrase brought out all
the exquisite color of the music

gree of humorous action in which

outcome taking its polish from the

ber of the cast Mr.. Powell might
well appear to be engaged in the
most refined of plots were it not that
from time to time the utter reckless
ness of all his acts is disclosed to his
audience Therein lies their humor
The broader comedy of the piece is
supplied with characteristic energy
by Frank McHugh, while two women
share with Mr. Powell the more ef-
tervescent scenes of the piece-Miss
Davis as a settled partner and Miss
TeaSdale as one who shares in his i'm
positions on the innocent persons who
have been selected as his financial
victims. The latter is also a singer.
Among the sufferers who sometimes
share in the Powell prosperity is Hugh
Herbert, an actor with a face which
fits well into the proceedings. All
incidents lead up to the principal
fact that Mr. Powell has the capacity
to sell to persons of prominence some
schemes for making money which
are rot at all promising but bring
profit to the operator through judi
cious use of the capacity for swind-

Here are Jane Tibbett's three charm
ing little sons-Marsten, Charles and
Peter. And here often are Lawrence

riage. High up in the sky, in the vast
apartment which is just modern
enough to be very lovely and has just
enough Of the flavor Of other periods
to make 1t warm and homelike, live
four young boys, and sometimes six, in
utter Joy and happiness.
Marsten and Charles will tell you
that they love to have Larry and
Richard come to visit them, and Larry
and Richard conflde that Peter is the
cutest small kid they've ever known.
The blue twilight deepens to night all
too soon. It's pleasant and familiar
to see Lawrence Tibbett enter with
his jolly welcome and his vibrant good
cheer. Jane Tibbett laughingly relin-
quishes her place behind the bar to
the lord and master of the house, and

has progressed from Washington to
Bar Harbor to Newport and back
again to Washington and now joins
the ranks of those who have to be
good to get such an engagement as
he has earned this week at the Fox.
We believe. however, that like so

as they get up on a stage they go
hay wire Mr.. Meyers music has
always been smooth and agreeably tenn
pestuous when he plays the stars

does a neat st. Louis Blues in the

NEW YORK, February 3 (N.AN.A.)
When Lawrence Tibbett was making
motion pictures and swinging back to
New York and the Metropolitan Opera
in between pictures, he lived in a Bev-
erly Hills cottage which spOrted q
swimming pool and vast English gar
dens. Corinne Griffith, his nearest
neighbor, had an italian villa across
the way. and Louis Bromfield was
servanted to the hilt in q red brick
Colonial place on the opposite corner.
Every one drove Fords to work and
had town cars and super-roadsters
tucked away in the garage waiting for
that moment when the fad for little
cars would pass and the old splendor
would reassert itself.
In those days Lawrence Tibbett
knew all the friends of his boyhood-
which he had largely spent about
there-and they made merry in his
swimming pool and enjoyed his hearty
hospitality to the full
In the two years that have elapsed
since Lawrence Tibbett has been in
pictures (and producers are still look
ing for a Tibbett vehicle. by the way)
he has become the most vital figure
in the world Of opera-the sex-appeal
baritone, one might call it, of the
world.
1t was interesting. therefore. to see
how Lawrence Tibbett lives in New
York these days. He and his lovely
wife. Jane Marsten Tibbett. have an
apartment swung magically in the sky
at 100 East End avenue. Fires roared
in its great chimneys on that wintry
afternoon, and the blue picture Of the
East River, far below, was unforgetta-
BILE. From every window it could be
glimpsed, an exquisite softness of river
and serried smokestacks. pierced with
the soft glow of budding lights and
warmed with the fog and mist from
the water

rounds Lawrence Tibbett as of yore
Crossing the threshold one finds one

We cannot imagine that this pic
ture, currently being shown at the
Fox, will materially aid Miss Weeks
popularity. A new actress who has
for her first two assignments the roles
of a nun and the mother of a small
boy is not being rewarded with the
sort of thing that will carry her to
any great fame Miss Week has done
her jobs with charm which is un-
deniable. She has, too, convinced
hundreds of people that she is one OF
the most talented and beautiful ac-
tresses in Hollywood. Yet, by the very
fact that her first film was Cradle
Song" and her second Miss Fane'S
Baby Is Stolen" is the public going to
associate her only with stories which
are what they call artistic" hits
rather than box office? And with
out the box Office at your feet in
Hollywood, it is pretty tough shedding
IF YOU want to see Miss Fane's
Baby" etc, you must be prepared
to suffer as well as enjoy the grace
that Miss Week puts into her work.
The only entertainment to be gained
from it is to wait until Alice Brady
gets back the baby for Miss Fame and
scuttles into Hollywood driving Ford
with one hand and rarrying the baby
in the other Then you can sit back
and do that loud hallooing which a
good part of last nights audience at
the Fox unleaShed.
Previous to that however, you are
forced to endure the pangs and the
anguisheS suffered by the cinema
star FRAU WieckD when she dis
covers that her young boy has been
kidnapped Through reel after reel
after reel you see this Hollywood
celebrity incoming around her empty
nursery, broadcasting Historically, fly
ing about the country and shouting
her woe literally from the housetops.
Since all of this has been done with
tact and a good deal of real feeling,
there is no harm coming from it.
Yet the question keeps bobbing up
in your mind-"Why film something
like this? Is the thesis at the back
Of the story worth reviving? Must
young mothers be reminded of the
fact that there is a possibility that
