In other words, Messrs. Park and
Clifford are swell. We advise you to
pay as close attention to their routine
as you do to those beautiful Capitol
ballet girls who are the freshest,
prettiest, most talented dancers this
stage has seen in many moon. Ex-
cellently paced by Gene Ford, who
knows his Broadway cold, these glib
young girls, dance prettily from left
to right, kicking out their feet in
unison and smiling so that you would
think they were out on a Sabbath
picnic. Especially to be recommended
is the above mentioned fan dance,
probably the best of its kind, and
certainly not duplicated so far on
any motion picture stage.
So, say we, what with Harrison and
Fisher, and one or two droll moments
by Messrs Stuart and Lash, plus a
dance by the triple-jointed Miss
Mason. If we can have motion picture
stage shows like this-the more the
merrier But if we have to have in
expensive re-haShes of $3.50 musical
comedies, such as Joe Cooks Hold
Your Horses" which a rumor has it
will be with us before long (without
Mr. Cook), then say we-no.
Go this week and see if you don't
agree with us. The Fox has never
had more of a right to feel satisfied
with itself.

CoWl. And. again
tonight Jacqueline Logan The
former will be presented in a brand
new play" sweet Bells tangled" at
the National, and the latter will hoist
the Wee and Leventhal banner up at
the Belasco in a comedy called Three
and One" The rest you will know
tomorrow.
1T WAS too bad that on the day
when Miss Katharine Hepburn
was given the academy award for the
best performance of the year in
Morning Glory that she should
deem it necessary to slam another
door in the face of another reporter.
Mr.. Charles Laughton, the other win
ner, We are certain would never have
done such a thing. Miss Hepburn
happened to be on her way to Eu-
rope. Evidently it was a matter of
great secrecy" When some alert
cameramen, eager for their duties,
found her out and knocked politely on
the door of her state room to ask if
they might not photograph her they
were rewarded with a curt reply that
when I want my picture taken 1
shall ask for it." Some one should
come along one of these days. take La
Hepburn gently over his knee and ad-
minister that punishment to her
which you used to get for playing
hookie from school.
THERE'S a new film group in town
called THE Russian Film Group"
Next Sunday at the Masonic Audi
torium it will present the latest talk
ing picture from the Soviet Union,
Diary of Revolutionist. The lead
in this is played by Sophie Magarill,
one of Russias best-known actresses,
and the plot has to do with IAN event
which startled the world when several
engineers were put on trial for their
lives charged with sabotaging Rus
sia's flve-year plan"

Sidney Lust called us to advise us
that Carter Barron has been ap-
pointed to the grievance board of the
N. r. A. film code, and that John j.
Payette and Sidney Lust have been
honored by appointments to the clear
ance and zoning boards.
Walter Pick advises us that his
barn theater" project is going mer-
rily ahead, and that We might be in
tereSted (aS We are) in the news that
Dan Totheroh's new play about the
Bronte sisters, called Moor Born"
has Frances Starr, Helen Gahagan,
Edith Barrett, Bramwell Fletcher and
Glenn Anders in the cast. How about
getting that for a National Theater
opening, Manager Cochran?
We also thank Actor Richard Kreuz-
burg for his good words and Para
mounts Stanler r. Chase for the
same.
Watch for Dancer Paul Haakon
when "Annina" comes to the National
next week. Rumor has it that he
took IL curtain calls all by himself
the opening night in Boston. Jeritza
they saw is good tool
