Dancers to

dancing and exciting drama. tell

There is genuine novelty for West

and absorbing interest.
Shan-Kar brings the soul of In
dia to America, but has not for
gotten to stress values that are
primarily theatrical. The enter
tainment builds steadily through
three musical interludes and II
dances, both folk and religious,
dealing with Hindu legends, to a
highly dramatic climax in the
finale - the drama, 'Tandava
Nrittya."
This drama, Of archaic charac-
ter. is mined by the dancers with
"mudras" (symbolic gestureS) in
stead of words. It tells the story
of SILVA, god Of creation and de-
struction, Ind his wife, Sati, who
Symbolizes conjugal fidelity.

Brilliant Dialogue
Soon Marion Froude finds her
self plunged into a perplexing
dilemma. Her problem is to
pacify the 1mpetuous and pugna'
cious youth whom she has prom
ised the manuscript and has
learned to love while at the same
time prove herself a good sport
with her Romeos in discreet
silence. In the end the lurid
pages are consigned to the bright
embers and Marion brushes away
a tear to accept a Hollywood
assignment to paint the cinema
rich.
"Biography's" story is told in
such refreshing dialogue and Ina
Claire interpretS its scintillating
and philosophical speech with
such evident relish the result
adds up into the complete por-
trait of a girl whom men could
adore, and did.
Excellent Support
May I commend as an unal-
loyed delight that scene wherein
Ina Claire releases again her
talent for mlnicry and applies
broad Southern accents to her
impish foiling with the news
paper magnate who was sold on
"Roughage" and was keen on
metabolism. Subtle spoofing.
There was excellent support
for the star. Arnold Korff lent
tender WiStfulness to the love-
able old composer of the story,
Jay Fassett was excellent as the
stuffed shirt politician, and
Charles Richman won individual
acclaim for his brief but highly
effective moments of prominence
Shepperd Strudwick played the
bumptious, arrogant, bombastic
and insulting young editor with
gusto, but also with such concise
and freshman delivery he was
probably more of an irritation
than the playwright intended. Or
his work may have suffered with
this critic because I had seen Earl
Larrimore in the part.
The single setting designed by
10 Mielziner for Biography" is at
mospher1cally rich and the play
has the benefit of Phillip Mceller's
skillful direction.

Them" MY correspondent de.
clared Ina Claire'S brother would
deliver the wallop on the pro.
boscis. Ina says he is not that
kind Of a fellow. Besides he
doesn't live here. And besides
Miss Claire admits that anything
that was said about this last
adventure in Hollywood was only
too true.
For whatever skill she pos
sesses as an actress Miss Claire
gives the major credit to Frances
Robinson-Duff who taught her
to breathe properly. When in
New York she goes daily to the
Duff studio and takes a breath
ing lesson. She has never taken
a lesson in acting in her life.
Ina Claire has never appeared
in a Broadway flop. Closest to
it was Jed Harris Children of
Darkness" She walked out of
this rehearsal and threw Jed
Harris out of her dressing room
in Newark. She said he hadn't
paid enough attention to the
show. In Hollywood her luck
was bad. Probably because she
couldn't pick her roles in pic
lures.
Versatile Folks
Sandwiched in with Ripley's
Oddities at the Auditorium are
two versatile entertainers to
whom this platform business is
all new.
One is Capt. William Rochfort
veteran Of the Canadian Expe-
dictionary Forces in the World
War;, who can draw two differ
ent types Of cartoons simultan-
eouSly, using left and right
hands. A glance at the audience
supplies his subjects.
Captain Rochfort is an archi-
tect and has designed theaters
and amusement parks in various
cities Of the United States. Then
he entered vaudeville and joined
Ripley'S show between seasons,
lured by the prospect Of an all
summer engagement at the
Worlds Fair in Chicago. Finest
people I ever worked for" he
says Of the Ripley attraction.
But he hopes to come back to
Washington with a vaudeville act
and play the Fox. Just easier
work.
John S. Greenwalt, who makes
music by playing on leaves is an
advertising man, taking this Rip
ley jaunt as lark. Three years
ago when Robert L. Ripley made
a Vitaphone short he asked Mr..
Greenwalt to appear in it. Then
last summer he invited him to
join the show.
Ad man Greenwalt is vice
president Of United Advisors of
535 Fifth Avenue. New York. He
has been advertising manager Of
the Kennedy Stores of New Eng.
land and of The Hub, Chicago.
He has seen enough on this Rip
ley tour to provide fine back
ground atmosphere for a book.
I have enjoyed this experience,
he says, but am going to write
my novel and then 60 back to
the ad business"
