FIRST u. S. RAILWAY
TO BE BALLET MOTIF
Music Will Be Reminiscent of
Songs of Pioneer
Days.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 3O-An Amer
ican ballet based on the building of
the first transcontinental railroad,
with music reminiscent of old cowboy
and railroad songs, will have its
premiere next month.
Archibald MacLeish, winner of last
years Pulitzer prize for poetry, con-
ceived the ballet and wrote the IL
bretto. The music is by Nicholas Nab
okoff, a native of Russia, who has
lived in the United States for many
years.
The background OF the ballet is the
construction of the Union Pacific west
from Omaha. beginning in 1868. and
the Central Pacific east from Califor-
MIA, beginning three years later. They
were to meet at the California Ne
vada boundary, but since both roads
had been promised enormous Federal
subsidies, there was warfare all along
the line.
LII tflt UdlleI, CdlieQ OUlOIl fdclllC,
dancers go through movements of lay
ing rails and driving spikes. The
scene shifts to a dance hall tent,
where Mexicans, soldiers and miners
gather at the bar, and Irish. and Chi
nese laborers fight over a girl.
Then crews Of the two roads ap-
proach each other and meet, while the
capitalist-builders descend from their
private cars. A wild finale symbolizes
the madness of an entire continent
in celebration of the completion Of the
road.
The ballet, to be presented by the
Monte Carlo troupe, is sponsored by
five New York women whose names
have not been disclosed. NabOkof S
music is said to be modernistic, but
with recognizable song motifs of Lady
Gay" The Runaway Train" and
other Wild West lyrics of the period.
The ballet. one of a few having
American settings, will have its pre-
miere in Philadelphia April 6, and
then will go to Boston and Chicago
before coming here. Albert johnson
young American stage designer, has
done the settings.

TWO UNKNOWNS|
STEAL PICTURE
At THE RIALTO|
ayWrayandPaul
Lukas Forced to
the Background.

Two players are featured in 1.-THE
Countess of Monte Cristo." latest Carl
Laemmle release to occupy the pro-
lection room of the Rialto, but the
acting of the film (what little there
is) is done by two unfeatured players
The featured artists are Fay Wray
and Paul LukaS. The actors are
Reginald Owens and Patsy Kelly.
Mr. Owens and Miss Kelly Qoaned
to Universal by Hal Roach & Coz
have small supporting parts, but their
abilities stand out like so much oasis
against the dry and barren perform
ances of the featured artists. Mr.
Owens is family reminiscent of
Lionel Barrymore in his playing of a
debonnaire continental crook-not
that it is to be inferred that Lionel
ever attempted such a role, but that
Owens is able to put over the favorite
monoSyllablic "humms" and "haughs"
OF the elder member of Americas
Royal Family with very good effect.
II one will overlook the weaknesses
OF the plot, the WoodenneSS of Miss
Wray and the stiffness of Mr.. Lukas,
there is enough entertainment to
The Countess of Bonte Cristo" to
make the film enjoyable; that is, if
one likes what might be called a ro-
mantle type of modern fairy tale.
1t all happens this way: Two girl
movie extras Gay Wray and Patsy
Kelly) in Vienna drive off a set in a
large studio automobile that is equip
ped for no apparent reason with bag
gage labeled Marie Louise, Countess
of Monte Cristo" The girls drive all
night and finally stop in front of
continental hotel that from an outside
shot looks as large as the famous
Marx community apartments in Aus
tria which was recently shot full of
holes.
Believe it or not, the girls are re.
celyed with open arms by the gullible
hotel manager as soon as he sees the
label on their baggage, with the re-
suit that Miss Wray continues to be
fake countess and Miss Kelly passes
as her maid. Miss Wray is soon in
volved with two crooks, one paul
LukaS) falls in love with her, and the
other (Reginald ovens, who has dis
covered her real identity, attempts to
make her his accomplice. The out
come of it all is that a discharged re-
porter in love with Miss Wray is able
to scoop the world with the capture
of the more famous crook (Mr. Lukas)
| and Miss Wray is given a big con-
tract with the movie firm from which
she stole the automobile. Very logi-
cal-We do not think!
Hollywood took cognizance of Mr.
Lukas real ability once recently in
the film Little Women" He is in
his sphere in a character role ~'lch as
the music professor of that piece. but
in straight, romantic parts. and even
as a supposedly suave and crafty
super-crook such as he plays in THE
Countess Of Monte Cristo,' he is as
much out of water as Joe Penner's
ill-famed duck.

also includes Universal comedy fea-
turing Sterling Holloway. a cartoon

Instead, there is a simple little story

Several committee members said
that, aside from Smith. there ap-

that if the chairman did not propose
consideration of his name others prob
ably would bring it up.
The nomination might be stranded

discuss proposed amendments to the
