such leading men as Phillips HI
Cooper, isn't so bad for anybod!
The announcement, therefore, that
Miss Sten will shortly start on Paul
Green script, entitled Broken Soil, n
and that In it she and Mr.. Cooper
will have a good deal to say to each
other, should do no more than make
many another Hollywood artist burn
with envy.
Samuel Goldwyn sees to 1t that
Miss Sten doesn't get gypped. After
all, If you spend cool year Cor may
be otherwise) teaching a young
woman to speak English, you have to
see that she keeps her head up in
the world.
Mr.. Goldwyn first thought Bar
barry Coast" would be nice for Miss
Sten-and then he thought 1t might
be nicer for Miss Swanson. In the
meantime, however, he was tiptoeing
around Reuben Mamoulian's set of
To-day We Live" concentrating on
Mr.. Tolstoy and making certain that
Mr.. March got his assignment over
with in those three weeks, so that
they wouldn't have to pay him more
than that mere $50,o00 he got for
making the picture.
Then, suddenly, there didn't seem
to be anything ahead for Miss Sten.
80 he bought Broken Soil" Since
Mr.. Playwright Green is one of the
more luminous of the theaters scribes,
this should mean something. Mr..
Green, as you know, comes from the
South, and Is frequently hailed as its
own particular Eugene O'NeilI, Ber-
nard Shaw and Shakespeare, all
wrapped up in one.

THEY have a theater out in Homo
lulu, too. Seems that Arthur 4.
Wyman, q native of Maine and a
graduate Of Dartmouth, is director Of
laboratory theater out there, which
is known as the Theater Guild of
the University of Hawaii. This
Hawaiian theater has a signet which
consists Of four masks, Greek, Chi
nese, Japanese and Hawaiian. Mr..
Wyman presents at least four plays
yearly, each of a different racial type.
Productions are cast with American
players, their ancestry, however, being
Chinese, Japanese, Hawaiian and
Caucasian, as the case may be, de-
pending upon the locale of the play.
We mention this because you may
be going out that way this season, and
1t would probably interest you to drop
In on Mr.. Wyman (if he isn't on
Broadway right now hunting up new
plays for his theater), and find out
what it's all about. You may also
find Charles (author Of "Seed") Nor
ris and Christopher Morley, out there.
They are both well acquainted with
the theater's workings. Mr.. Wyman,
in fact, sponsored the world premiere
of Mr.. Morley's Where the Blue Be-
gins" with author Morley playing one
Of the major roles.
