the man was minus friends, minus
money and away from his own

money he had saved for q trip to
Europe and placed the fellow in

nice gesture in any key.

The five royal Swedish bell
ringers, that open the Earle bill
this week, are no novelty to the
earlier followers of vaudeville
This act originated in Sweden
in 1902, and o. E. Swanson, one
of the originators, still tinkleS
the bells.
There are 200 pieces of this
musical hardware, and they
weigh over half a ton. The larg.
est bass is E which runs a full
octave below the bass clef, and
alone weighs II pounds. All to-
gether the bells comprise six oc-
taves of full chromatic scale.
They were made by the White
Chapel Foundry, in London, of a
specially composed metal. This
foundry is famed for the manu-.
facture of the cracked bell that
hangs in Independence Hall, Phil
adelphia.
The performer who so dexter
ously manipulates the smallest
and highest toned bells, sings one
of the deepest BASES ever heard
on the Earle stage.
A strange fact is that the
glasses that produce such pene-
trating tones when rubbed with
wet fingers, can be heard farther
than the bells, and at times have
blasted" the microphone by their
highly sensitive vibrations.
For those who watch with ex-
pectant eyes the approaching

that Gene Ford, in his extensive
producing career, has lent the

Variety's critic, Bige, comments
this Small Time Cavalcade as the
last chance to see vaudeville as it
was and probably never will be
again. 1t reminded me Of Joe
Laurie'S Memory Lane Act and
makes the Fox program this week,
without headline significance, the
best for solid entertainment that
has come along in weeks.
The Small Time Cavalcade left
New York Thursday night at II
o'clock, bus bound for the Fox.
Motor trouble, a bus change in
Philly, and more trouble, made
them an hour late for their first
Friday show. Nevertheless they
went on without sleep, and no one
on the other side of the footlights
guessed that a group Of tired,
worn out actors were going
through their PAGES like the
troopers they were.
Wants "ScoundreI"
Inquiries continue to come to
this desk regarding a possible
booking of Noel Coward'S picture,
1.-THE Scoundrel" in Washington
and some of the more eager would

where it is scheduled to be shown.

status on this Hecht & Macarthur
picture with the English play

been changed. It is on the re-

Dear Mr.. Kelley:
Will you be kind enough to
tell me whether there is any
further chance Of seeing the
picture called "The ScOundrel'
in Baltimore? I returned to
town last week too late to go
over to see it, and wouldn't
have known that it had ever
been screened in Baltimore but
for the interesting comment
contained in your highly valued
column.
I am thinking that perhaps
there are theaters in Baltimore
that correspond to our Tivoi
and Ambassador here, and that
this picture, which I am very
anxious to see, may be shown
at some such place. In which
case, / should like to get up
party Of the people I know who
want very much to see this film
and 90 over. 1 suppose that
there is still no chance Of its
coming to Washington. It does
seem absurd that we should
be denied showing of such an
outstanding picture as this
seems to be, but, If they just
won't show it here, I know sew.

to go to Baltimore to see it.

A Coming Star
Little Olivia de Havillahd, who
clicked effectively as Joe e.
Browns leading woman in "Alibl
Ike" is a most promising starlet
in the Warner Bros constellation.
Max Reinhardt picked her to play
the role of Hernia in "A Mtdsum-
mer Nights Dream" and she
scored so impressively they are
talking of Stardom, although she
is only 10 years of age.
This was her first claim to dis
tinction, so far as the screen Is
concerned.
Her second was such a fine per-
Torrance in the part that she was
awarded a seven-year contract Dy
Warner Bros, and Immediately
assigned to the role of leading
lady for Joe E. Brown in "Alibl
Ike" which showed at the Earle
Theater last week.
Miss de Havilland was born Ii
years ago in Tokyo, Japan, where
her father, an attorney, was tenn
porarily engaged. Soon afterward,
the family returned to the home
town, Saratoga, California. There
Olivia was raised.
Her mother was a professional
Shakespearean reader, and Olivia's
first stage experience was reading
minor parts at her mothers re-
citals.
When Max Reinhardt was stag
ing "A Midsummer Nights Dream"
at the Hollywood Bowl, Olivia was
introduced to him by a friend OF
her mothers. She was made an
understudy of the actress assigned
to play Hernia"
The original actress never played
the part, but Olivia de Havilland
did, and so well that Reinhardt
not only kept her for the Bowl en-
gagement, but retained her serv'
ices for the Berkeley, San Fran
cisco and Eastern engagements.
When he contracted to make "A
Midsummer Nights Dream" for
pictures, Miss De Havilland was
his first cast assignment.
Olivia de Havilland is a quiet,
serious girl, with large expressive
brown eyes, and reddish brown
hair. She has charm and mag
netism, glowing beauty and emo
tional depth.
Her work with Prof. Reinhardt
so impressed Warner Bros. of.
ficials, that even before "A Mid

iShed, she had been placed under
