A BARRYMORE Flop

A correspondent takes me to
task for saying. that John Barry
more has never appeared in a
flop picture since the advent of
sound and cites Long Lost
Father" a recent picture which
never played downtown Washing
ton. Not having data on this
one I accept the implied infer
ence it may not be so hot.
That leaves John about
80 44-1OO per cent pure and with
a better batting average than most
stars. I stand on my original
statement, twentieth Century, ,"
due at Keith's tomorrow, is a
corking fun picture and great
Barrymore.

WinchelI to Star
Walter Winchell goes into the
Palace Theater, Chicago, for a
weeks engagement, beginning Fri
day. Theater men will watch the
box-office figures closely, for it is
his first vaudeville engagement
away from his beloved home
grounds, Broadway. That is, it is
his first since radio and his daily
column made him a celebrity.
Away back in the prewar days he
was small-time vaudeville actor.
Flash: Flash: Winchell plays
Detroit after his Windy City
seven days. The salary is $1,000
a week.
If Winchell hits in Chicago,
Louis K. Sidney is prepared to
offer him the Loew time. That
would bring him to the Fox, pro-
vided he signed with Loew's. There
are so many ifs and butts I'd bet
ter drop the subject before Guy
Wonders crosses me up by signing
him for the Earle Theater.
About Maxine Doyle
I make a motion that Johnny
Payette or Frank LaFalce write or
wire for a print of the first War
ner Bros. picture that contains
the features and the acting OF
Maxine Doyle. For no other reason
than critics are all eager to see
what the Thirteenth Street colleen
does in her screen debut.
The Maxine Doyle beginning OF
a Hollywood career presents inter-
esting angles. In the first place,
she set out to get herself studio
Job and campaigned to that end
for two years. Her position as
mistress of ceremonies gave her
an opportunity to contact all the
Warner Bros stars who made
personal appearances and she
took occasion to make these
friendships warm and lasting.
Then she signed with the Clifford
Brooke Drama School to learn a
little bit about real acting and to
get the benefit of competent direc-
tion. In addition she had Come
dian Charlie Murray and his wife,
devoted friends, keeping weather
eye out in Hollywood for a good
Doyle opportunity.
Altogether, Maxine was well
prepared when Charlie Murray
notified her that his old friend,
Charles Rogers, production super
visor at Paramount, was ready to
take her for a trial on the come

Mr., March Laughs

"Good Dame" was probably as
tawdry a motion picture story
as has issued from Hollywood in
1884. MiScaSting also. For
F'redric March was about the last
one in the world to cast as a
carnival roustabout.
More interesting is the more
than rumor that Paramount
cast him in it deliberately to give
him a screen black eye since it
was his last picture on that lot
as he has been signed by Twen-
tieth Century. March may have
the last laugh. For in spite of
his incredible and unhappy role
most of the notices he is gath
erinp are favorable.
