Cagney7 He rs not good looking. He
Is not built like Tarzan. His voice
is not particularly distinguished. He
has none Of the characteristics that
have made good actors heretofore
seem great.
BY process OF elimination you then
arrive at the little that Cagney ap-
parently has left--that being plain
honest. hardworking ability, He
therefore, must be an actor-and not
"Just james Cagney."
II YOU watch him closely in Here
Comes the Navy" you VIII observe
that he never strives for an enect,
that he goes along al what seems 70
be a casual pace. taking things as
they come, and leaving everything
more or less TO Fate. II you tninK
that II Is easy to accomplish this In
the movies. then you are very muen
mistaken. There Is nothing casual
on A studio set. From the property
man 10 the electrician and on TO the
sound man up, there is everything
except ease" And the actor is not
In a position 10 take things as they
come. The wonder Of it is. as you
watch these people, that they are able
even to approximate natural ana
n graceful moment OF living wnen
there is such an avalanche OF unreaity
ali about them.
CLARK GABLE was the first person
~ 10 illustrate this to us ''in person. F"
He was working in a picture called
Chained" which you will see In the
near future. The scene called for
him to speak few hght-hearted lines
to Joan Crawford, who sat at table
all tied up In emotional knots. AS a
prelude. q phonograph offstage was
playinr Butterfly" to aid Miss Craw-
ford. while Gable, paying no attention
10 her at all, was chatting of the set
with an important lady producer from
Sweden who was on her annual tour
of the studios.
When 1t came time for Gable TO
speak his piece. the phonograph was
turned of, the cry OF Camera
sounded, the assistant diHector cried,
"Quiet-Quiet pleasel"-the outside
doors were shut, the director went to
his post, several cameramen went to
theirs. those monster lights flashed on
those binding streams Of light, Miss
Crawford clutched her hands and
suddenly there was Gable tossing out
his light, amusing lines-and then
suddenly going into the kind of a love
siege that only the films reveal.
It all seemed very easy-very
natural.

was educated at King Edward High
School, in Vancouver, and upon grad
uation went to the University OF CAL
ifornia.
1t was his earliest ambition to be-
come an actor. Began acting fever
ishly while in college, where he
specialized in English, and wrote plays
for the collegiate Little Theater. He
also had time to join Phi Delta Theta
Fraternity.
Embarked upon his stage career
upon graduation, appearing first with
a stock company in Salt Lake City,
Utah. At the same time he settled
upon the name of Donald Woods as
his professional handle. Picked it
because he like 1t.
Made his debut In Salt Lake as
Chico in Seventh Heaven" and
scored q big hit. Then played with
stock companies in San Antonio,
Houston, Toledo, Indianapolis, Wash
ington, D. c., and Denver. Made his
first Broadway appearance in Sing
apore," then in Social Register"
And then the big bad movies got
him.
Does not prefer stage to screen,
saying there is very little difference.
Has no idea what he would do as
another means of livelihood. His
ambition now is to be really good
romantic actor. His favorite role to
date is Stan in Gas the Earth Turns. i"
OF the screen his favorite actors
are Helen Hayes, Edward G. Robin

prefers Paul Muni and Lynn Fon-

ment of laughs features James Gag
ney, Pat O'Brien, Gloria Stuart and
Frank McHugh. The picture was
filmed for the most part aboard the
battleship U. S. S. Arizona, with the
entire Pacific Fleet in the background,
a magnificent sight in itself, for the
company was fortunate enough to be
aboard the warship just as the neet
weighed anchor and maneuvered out
Of the harbor on its trip to Atlantic
waters.

cheerfully predicting all his flock will
end up in cinders if they don't watch
out, and telling them they should
be delighted If they have found the
real religion and missed the train for
hell. Lewis propounds the theory that
When My Baby Smiles at Me" every
thing is very fine, come what may to-
morrow or the day after.
That piece, incidentally, was one of
the strong springboards in his leap to
orchestral fame. Smiles" Down the
Old Church Aisle"-containing one of
the few really effective instrumental
conversations" ever performed, a
wedding ceremony with the maestro
as minister, the saxophone and from
bone as bride and bridegroom-"Is
Everybody Happy?" "Alexander,s Rag
time Band" are others as closely
associated with his name as if a hun
dred other orcheStras had not played
and O thousand entertainers sung
them. When piece fits Lewis style,
he puts an unforgettable stamp on it.
You may revolt at his way of sing
ing, the howaya, howaya mannerism.
You may swear for the rest of your
days to despise M. Lewis and all that
he does, but you will not forget him.
This is true even in foreign countries,
where the conceptions of American
jazz are still generally so nebulous one
never knows what to expect when
conversing with Frenchman or a Ger
man anent Whiteman or Lewis or Cab
Galloway. At least you can always
get an argument about Lewis, and the
elaborate pro or con logic is evidence
that he never leaves EN- cold. They
are hot either with pleasure or anger.
The next and concluding number
in our own program of Lewisiana will
be devoted to the gentleman as a per-
son rather than an institution. You
may be interested to know how he
hit upon the orchestral style which
still is rated as one of the five truly
original in the United States, and
whence came the high hat.

Troupers
Glimpses of Stage Folk
in Washington.

WHEN a man has been trouping
around with his name looming
large in the bright lights of night
clube, vaudeville houses, movie the
aters and musical shows for more
than a quarter of a century, it seems
more logical to start writing a book
rather than sketch about him. Ted
Lewis, the current headliner at Loew's
Fox, is both the messiah and the
apostle of certain style of jazz. He
originated it and then became its
prophet, launched a crusade which
found few imitators, because all the
tenets were embodied in one man. If
you didn't happen to be that man,
there was little point in attempting
to sing his brand of hosannas.
Religious verbiage may seem bit
inappropriate in discussing the leader
of a jazz band. 1t isn't, necessarily.

REAL COMEDY AND
MUSIC AT GAYETY
New Burlesque Group Affords
Good Entertainment at Ninth
Street Theater.

Here at last, in "Ne-Hi Revue" at
the Gayety this week, is some tangible
evidence that there really is an In
dependent Burlesk Association bent on
bettering burlesque. This is a scenic
and tuneful production, with some
comedy which depends on comedy
alone for the laughs. Frank x.
Silk, of course, is one Of the finest
comedians to make the Ninth street
house a regular stop, and one of the
cleanest. This year he has bowed
even more to the legion Of decency
and public opinion, without doing
himself bit of harm. One scene
stands without comparison as the
funniest comedy bit since George
Broadhurst's cafe skit. Maybe it is
even better than that. Mr.. Silk is
worth seeing. He, however, does not
have single-handed job in making
the customers enjoy themselves. Such
able veterans as Charlie Goldie, Harry
Hello Jake" Fields and Tom Bundy
are in the comedy crew, and they
get plenty of applause for work well
done.
In Helen Rogers and Jack Coyle
this weeks show has pair Of vocal
lists of high caliber. Mr.. Coyle, es-
pecially, has voice the like of which
is seldom heard in any burlesque
theater. Milt Bronson also sings, but
his best contribution is his Russian
dance.
The feminine portion Of the cast
Is led by "the original ha-cha girl"
Edna Dee. When Miss Dee comes
to town it's time to get out the ad-
jectives, but few of them do her JUS
tice. If you have seen Edna once,
you will want to see her again. Well
liked and personable, Virginia Jones
also is heartily received. Darlin'
Lucky is back to dance well and ap-
pear in most of the comedy skits.
Tom Bundy produced "Ne-Hi Re-
vue," and as soon as he can get the
chorus to kick in unison, he may take
bow for a fine job. H. M.
