EnuIiSh'S Books Revue

"r IFE BEGINS AT 8:40," the
l. most successful musical revue
ever produced at the New York
Winter Garden, will come to Eng
Ish's early in the season.
The cast of more than 100 per-
sons includes Milton Berle, Anne
Seymour, Buster West, Lucille Page,
Charles Kemper, John McCauley,
Walter Dare Wahl, Emmett Oldheld,
Ofelia and Pimento and the Charles
Weidman dancers. The chorus num-
bers go stunning~girls.
This is a John Murray Anderson
production which ran all OF last
season at the New York Winter
Garden. 1t is being presented here
by the MesSrs. Shubert.
The lyrics are by Ira Gershwin
and E. Y. Harburg, the music by
Harold Arlen, composer Of Stormy
Weather" and the sketches are by
David Freedman, who writes all OF
the Eddie Cantor material, and Alan
Baxter.
Apart from the superb costumes,
which are the creations Of klylette,
James Reynolds, Raoul Du Bots.
Billie Livingston, Wynn, Pauline
Lawrence and Irene Scharoff, one
of the features of Life Begins at
$40" is a double revolving stage,
which not only turns in two direc-
tions. but can move forward and
backward and to the right and left.
Upon this superimpoSed stage are
set many of the very novel scenes
created by Albert Johnson.
The plan of the production is so
unusual that Mr.. Johnson has dis
carded the use of curtains or Grapes.
Much of the scenery is solidly built
and the surfaces of the set pieces
are convoluted. Beautifully weird
effects are produced upon the surf
ace by the play Of lights.
The special lighting is the work
of John Murray Anderson who is q
master in this line. It was Mr.. An
derson too who staged the entire
production with the exception Of the
dances performed by the Weidman
troupe and the production numbers.
Milton Berle is a leading Broad
way comedian who has made a
name for himself not only in the
legitimate theater, but in radio and
large presentation houses.
Miss Seymour is a big radio and
stage star. Her special forte Is
singing and Characterization.
Buster West, who is known to
vaudeville enthusiasts from coast to
coast is a young dancer and has
just been signed by the MesSrS.
Shubert under a long term contract.
Miss Page is another young dancer
who has made a deep impression in
this Winter Garden revue.
The large orchestra will be under
the direction of Harry Nieman.

Young British Actor Signed

the newly formed David o. Selznick
Productions, Inc, announces that
his first film as a producer under
the United Artists releasing banner
will be Frances Hogson Burnett's
Little Lord Fauntleroy," starring
Freddie Bartholomew.
Selznick has secured the screen
rights to the famous play that once
served as a stellar vehicle for Mary
Pickford, now one of his fellow-prO-
ducers in the United Artists Or
ganization.
Young Bartholomew comes under
the aegis of Selznick as the result
of an arrangement between the pro-
Queer and Neutrality-suspicious.
George Cukor, the prominent direc-
tor now under contract to Selznick,
goes to Metro to direct Norma
Shearer in Romeo and Juliet" the
deal involving an exchange Of his
services for those of Freddie Bar

Selznick also plans to announce
shortly the players selected for the
other two leading roles in Little

considered as important as the title
role, and the producer is now en-
gagged in negotiations with one Of
Hollywood'S most prominent stars.
The scale on which Little Lord
Fauntleroy" is to be produced will
be comparable to those of Little
Women" Dinner at Eight" Viva
Villa" David Copperheld," 1.-The
Tale of Two Cities" and other films

Hit.

Marion Davies, after almost a
years absence from films. IS the star
Of Page Miss Glory" which will
supplant VIII Rogers Steamboat

Theater beginning tomorrow.

comedy by Joseph Schrank and
Philip Dunning, includes Dick
Powell. Pat OBrien, Mary Astor,
Lyle Talbot, Patsy Kelly. Frank
McHugh. Allen Jenkins, Jose phi

as chambermaid in one Of the big
hotels and makes friends with Click
Wiley (Pat OBrien), promoter
who is continually out Of something
to promote, and his pal, Ed Olsen
CAIcHugh), who is newspaper
photographer out of work.
A yeast company offers $500 for
a picture Of Americas most beauti-
full girl. Olsen and Click get the
idea Of making a composite photo
using the most beautiful features OF
several film stars. The photo, cap

prize. But the rub comes in when
all America goes Glory conscious
and insistent demands are made to
Wiley and Olsen for a sight of the
famous beauty, whom they, OF
course, can't produce.
The rest Of the story shouldn't be

sweetheart is Bingo Nelson (PowelD,
a famous aviator.
Miss Davies appears as a plain
and colorless chambermaid L. the

forth from her "slavey" obsurlty,
but credit is due to the Warner

in which they have robbed Miss
Davies of her vivaciousnesS IN the

Miss Barrie Also Speaks

Elaine Barrie, 2O-year-old New
York girl who is just "car-razzy"
about John Barrymore, paused here
yesterday and admitted that her
game of hide and seek with the
aging actor was a shut out so far
as she was concerned.
She was shut out of his train
compartment at Chicago and points
west to Emporia, Kan, where she
gave up and began her return air
trip east. That's why she was at
Municipal Airport yesterday.
With her was slight stout man,
who had not much to say, and might
have been regarded by suspicious
and mean persons as press agent.
When Elaine was in Indianapolis
she was pretty grim about it all.
She said that attorneys were keep
ing her and her sweetheart apart,
and insisted that palsy-walsy Bar
rymore really was just dying to see
her.
ElainS, whose real name is Jacobs,
said she expects to hear from Mr..
Barrymore, who only recently
brought her back from a rather ex-
tensive trip on his yacht and who
left the New York apartment of
her parents unceremoniously to be-
gin the westward chase.
Elaine calls John "Caliban" and
he calls her Ariel" and she
changed her name from Jacobs to
Barrie to sound more like Barry
more.
John thinks Elaine can act, and
this is regarded by all Broadway
producers and critics as a highly in
dividualistic opinion. No one else
has been much impressed to date.
That's about all there is to the
indianapolis episode in one of the
greatest sagas that ever opened a
theatrical season for young actress
that needs, and hasn't got, job

merely an expression of friend

topaz. When one likes a person,
one likes to give them gifts Of value.

He was asked if he wished to be

Reconciliation is not the word, -
he replied. There has been no

ment or marital difficulties that
may have come up are matters
for my wife to disclose"

Something of the same quality is
expected of these men in the trans
lation of Stark Young's powerful
novel of the South. Vidor to give
it sympathy, Anderson, frail and
human realities. and Stallings, the
punch and vitality of truth.
In employing three of the high

diately project this picture beyond
the usual run even of epics.
