+ 4uman Side Of the News - ByEdwin G. I'LL

Who's Who says that Daniel
Frohman was born in 1853,
which would make him 81. But
Mr.. Frohman himself doesn't
mind revealing he is in his
eighty-third year. It doesn't
make any difference, really.
The point is that Uncle Dan can
step out in the morning, play 18
holes at better than a hundred
and twenty, bake out on the
beach in the afternoon. attend
q party as evening comes on
and then, during and after din
ner, sling the liveliest, trickiest
foot on the dance floor you ever
looked at in your life.
That's Mr.. Frohman's daily
routine during his Six.Week stay
in Florida, and when his Sojourn
there is ended he will go on to
Augusta, Ca, to foregather with
old cronies and continue the
same lively gait.
It takes a vigorous young
buck to keep pace with the dean
of the American theater. and as
for anybody in the sixties or
seventies, Mr.. Frohman would
run him ragged in week. He
is the admiration and despair OF
a hundred elderly gentlemen
with bay windows almost as big
as their bank accounts, for he
is slim and tireless and full OF
pep and good humor and the
pet of all the ladies from seven
to seventy. :,
More than that, he has lived
a long time and in an interest
ing way, and his mind is filled
with bright and cheerful things.
A great many old gentlemen.
some of them as celebrated as
Mr.. Frohman, are douole-par-
relied bores, but this agreeable
old gentleman of the theater
knows how to be amusing 1or
hours at a time.
He is a gregarious soul ana
dearly loves entertaining COM
panionship, whether it is on the
golf course, the beach or at
dinner, He refuses to make
long face about anything in
this world or the next. He
Just goes along in his gentle
TRANQUIL, cheerful, orderly way,
getting all he can out of life,
and that is a great deal in the
way of contentment and friend
ship. He is, of course, human
encyclopedia. of American thea
ter, and there is not a dull page
in the great volume Of his recol-
lectionS.
Probably few men have made
a closer study of Shakespeare,
and Mr.. Frohman has found a
lot of interesting and diverting
things in the plays-the antici-
patton and prediction Of radio,
for example. Mr.. Frohman
spotted it in the last scene Of
act one of Twelfth Night
in Viola's speech to Olivia:
"Halloa your name to the re-
vertebrate hills, and make the
babbling gossip of the air cry
Olivia!''
"I have always thought" he
tells this writer, that Shake
speare had the greatest mind,
the best-furnished mind, of any
man that ever lived-greater
than Aristotle's or Plato's. His
knowledge of the technical side
of science, in the fields Of
botany and medicine and horti-
culture and many other highly
specialized activities was amaz-
ing. I have devoted more than
so years to the study of Shake
Speare's plays and there is
hardly a week that I don't get
a brand-new thrill out of them.
You can't play Shakespeare
without first-rate actors. The

A GOOD STARDOM BET--- THAT'S LOUISE LATIMER

Hollywood.--S young, pretty. vivacious, and most determined to forge ahead in the movie racket.
 Furthermore, Louise Latimer can point to lS months of success on Broadway and a hit perform ance in her first film, As We Live" ]" So there doesn't seem to be much reason why this 19-year-old miss shouldn't go long way in camera land.
 Although she has been in Hol- Iywood only short time, Louise already has earned the title of strawberry blond" due to the slight trace of a strawberry shade of red in her tresses.
 Her hair without a doubt is her most unusual feature, although her most distinctive one is her vivacity.
 Having devoted her time sole ly to learning the art of acting during the last three years, Louise hasn't had much time to develop her ability for the outdoor sports so popular in the film col- ony.
 However, she is an excellent swimmer and rider. And now that she is getting a short rest follow ing completion of her first picture, she is devoting several hours a week to tennis lessons. Work still holds her first interest, however.
 If she retains that attitude, Miss Latimer should make her name a big one in the celluloid world. She has likeable quality, which for tunately photographs, that already has made her one of the most pop ular girls in Hollywood.
 And Hollywood often is far more difficult to conquer than the outside world.

Hollywood.-So eager are Holly woods screen actresses to find out how they would look with differ ent color hair that they will go to almost any extent to grab a role which will permit them to wear wigs.
 The authority for this state ment Is Irene Beshon, hair ex- pert at the Fox studio. And Miss Beshon should know, as it is her duty to take care of the trans formations of the blonds who would be brunets and vice versa.
 T never yet have se.n a girl the prospect of wearing wig in a picture, despite the discomfort of these transformations" de- clares Miss Beshon. 'In fact, I have had many actresses come to me and ask to be fitted with wigs just to show their directors how we'll they would look with differ ent color hair. "A change in the color of their hair makes them look different all right, but have yet to see one who looks as we'll as she does with her natural tresses. That's one of the things Nature appears to have taken care of for us."
 Alice Faye, naturally an ash blond, tried black wig for her next role, but was ordered to dis card it for her natural hair. By donning the same type of wig, Claire Trevor managed to grab her first dramatic role. But then she was ordered to enact it minus the wig.

 Not Even a Hearing
 Fairbanks being in England at the time, 1t was necessary to ob- tain service on him by publication. This technfcality was completed about three weeks ago and the case now is awaiting trial. But friends of both are betting that 1t never will come up for a hearing.
 Despite Doug's attentions to Lady Sylvia Ashley during the year that he and Mary have been separated, there have been numer- ous rumors that a reconciliation would be effected. Each of these was met with a denial. However, not until Fairbanks left London, bound for Hollywood, was there any real indication that the two famous film stars might again live under the same roof.

 As Eadie, Miss Harlow gives one of her first performances in role that is admirably suited to her tal- ents. The delft manner in which she takes care of the characterization is very reminiscent of those earlier success that brought her stardom -"Red Headed Woman" Hold Your Man" and "Red Dust"

CLAMOROUS MAE I'M LAND OF DIXIE
Gives Southern Beaux and Bellies Thrills as Burr
 lesque Queen

Mae West, who admits that she Is at her best when she is acting a woman at her worst, is at her very best in her newest and gayest contribution to the screen, Belle Of The Nineties" which begins weeks engagement at Warner Brothers State theater tomorrow.
 As the queen of hearts and dia- monds who takes Dixie by storm and charm, Miss West returns to the pediod of the Gay and Naughty Nineties in lavishly dressed, handsomely mounted and thor cnghly expressing entertainment.
 Surrounded by three new tall, dark and handsomes," Roger Pry- or, John Mack Brown and John Milan, with Duke Ellington and his orchestra, Katherine DeMille, Libby Taylor, Stuart Holmes and Warren Hymer In the supporting cast, Miss West acts the part of a St Louis burlesque queen who goes down to New Orleans to win the hearts of the Southern cavaliers.
 In New Orleans she encounters Milan, who, as the proprietor of the South's most famous nightclub, lays siege to her heart and her dia- monds. John Mack Brown enters into the picture as the unsophisti- cated youth who pours adulation on Miss West and gems at her feet.
 As the plot moves forward at q breathless pace, Miss West falls in love with Roger Pryor, a current fistic hero, and, later, because she believes that he has double-crossed her, causes him to lose his most important fight. But it all ends happily, with Milan, the true vil- lain, getting his just deserts and Pryor and Miss West happily reunited.
 Against a background of music provided by Duke Ellington and his orchestra Miss West sings sev- eral new songs written for her by Arthur Johnston and Sam Coslow, the team which composed many of Bing Crosbys hit tunes.
 Roger Pryor, who has been seen in few Hollywood roles before, emerges in this picture with dis tinction, as does Miss DeMille, also newcomer to the screen. The balance of the loles are excellently cast under the able divection of Leo McCarey.
 The settings by Hans Dreier and Bernard HerZbrun are breath-tak- ing in their beauty and richness, as are the Mae West costumes which are the creations of Travis Banton, Paramount style chief.
 Belle Of The Nineties" is grand entertainment. Filled with laughs and whirlwind action, it is more than a fitting sequel to its two pre- decessors, the box office cham pions, .She Done Him Wrong" and ''I'm No Angel"
 The big surrounding program includes such celebrities as Nal Le- Roy, Dorothy Dare, Fl Brendel, Morton Downey, Roy Atwill and Baby Rose Marie in the comedy, Vitaphone acts and featurettes Latest world news events are also presented on this program. The first show Saturday starts at 12 noon prompt. No 10 cent admis- sion tickets will be sold during the engagement of this picture

 ton at Polls

Waterbury will be the smallest town that this attraction, compar- able to the shows that you have spent $3.30 a ticket to see in the old Polls. It comes to Waterbury at the regular prices of Polls only through the fact that Polls is the largest capacity theater in New
 England and there is possibility,
 on this account, of them making
 the expenses of this show which is exceedingly heavy. In addition to the stage part of the entertainment there will also
 be the regular picture program of the theater and this has not been slighted in any way. On the screen James Dunn and Jean Parker in
 Have Heart will be the attrac- tion and also there will be the
 usual carefully selected program
 of short subjects making in all a program that merits the patron age of all theatergoers.
 Contrary to the belief of many
 there will be no advance in prices for this attraction. The regular prices of the theater will prevail and here is the / greatest show value ever, as over million thea tergoers have paid up to $3.30 to see this show. ''Varieties' will never again
 show in Waterbury but any pie
 ture that may come, will return at
 a later date. See this show while

NOW JEAN TREATS HER BOY FRIEND!
BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Stan Correspondent

 Hollywood-In pictures brief IS months and on the threshold of stardom, Jean Parker's principle thought is of Francis Lucus, the "only boy ever have cared for in my whole life"
 Reams could be written about this 17-year-old brunei who was plucked from a New Years Day Rose Parade float and cast into the movie spotlight. but nothing could more clearly reveal her character than her thoughts of the boy she loves.
 When they met as high school students in Pasadena, about Is miles from Hollywood, Lucus was the scion of wealthy family with all the worldly possessions a youth could desire, Jean. a poor girl working her way through school. Eighteen months have completely reversed their posi- tions.
 Lucus' father died and his wealth shrank to practically noth- ing. Jean, on the other hand, has skyrocketed through the cinema heavens and now has all Holly wood at her feet.
 Yet her thoughts are of Lucus and what effect her tremendous success will have upon their TO- nance.
 Il am afraid of what people will say" she told me at lunch the other day. Not that it makes. particle of difference to me, as he is the only boy ever have known for whom really care. But such a situation is tough on any man."
 That Jean will not let tenn porary screen fame, no matter how great that fame may be, al- ter the course of her personal life and I am confident that she won't-is one of the many proofs that she deserves the starring honor which has been bestowed upon her.
 And to be starred by Metro Goldwyn- Mayer, which means hay ing her name placed alongside those of Garho, Joan Crawford, Norma Shearer, Jeanette MacDon- aid, Helen Hayes and Jean Harlow is an honor.
 Now that she has been elevated to stardom, there seems little doubt as to Miss Parker's future. She is the type of star the screen needs. Charming, beautiful and completely wholesome, she never could have anything but an up lifting influence in any picture.

 It is planned to make the pal ace both an artistic and a business center, and to glorify wine in a manner which hitherto never has been attempted.
 Every wine produced in France will be available to sample, or to purchase. Reserves in the palace cellar will enable speedy delivery direct to the consumer.
 With a restaurant specializing in cuisine which sets off French wines in the best manner, 1t IS hoped that the casual visitor will obtain the groundwork of a com plete education in the subtle art of winning and dining.

 Between 5000 and 1000 movie mad mothers attempt to place their youngsters in pictures each year, according to statistics just compiled ty Rachel Smith, Paramount school teacher.
