Moscow Fun
At BeIasco

A story of modern Russia, told in
laughter and massachusetts first
jazz comedy, Moscow Laughs -
opens at the Belasco Theater to-
day.
1t takes little effort to believe
it, but in this film coming to the
Belasco, Moscow, they say, really
does laugh. And everyone will
laugh with it in a musical film,
merrily sketching the Soviet life
of today.
The direction is by G. Alexan-
drov. Music by Dunayevski. And
the comedy of its music and stu
alton, interpreted by superimposed
titles and magnificent pantomime,
is said to be mad and hilarious.
In addition, Moscow Laughs
has what is called one of the
rarest and most magnificent bits
of photography ever filmed-a $50

ever shot, of remarkable magnifi.

lie CaIIienne Coming

Managing-director Gene Ford of
Loews Fox Theater became quite
excited yesterday when the news
was flashed down from New York
that Eva LIE Caffeine would be
the F Street headliner beginning
next Friday. It is understood that
Miss LIE Caffeine will offer the
balcony scene from ShakeSpeare's
Romeo and Juliet"
This is good news for those who
like good diction in the theater.
Good news too for those who like
to salute women of accomplish
ment. Eva LIE Gallienne has gold
medals, one for precise speech and
another awarded by a board of
magazine judges for her achieve
ments in the theater.
Three weeks ago she appeared
in the huge Capitol Theater on
Broadway and presented Sutro's
one-act play, "The Open Door,"
with Donald Cameron as her only
support. The Capitol has a nest
of microphones in the footlight
trough so that the LIE Gallienne
voice was able to penetrate to the
vast reaches of cinema audi
forum.
Still the LIE Caffeine personal
appearance was not a triumph.
Variety described the act as "a
Commute yawn for any film
house audience" Nevertheless
the Loew bookers were impressed
by the class of patronage which
LIE Gallienne attracted to the
theater. She did bring out the
class patron.

Miss LIE Gillienne's agents were
approached about appearances in
Washington and Baltimore. Her
New York salary was $500 a

It's with RKO, and her first
assignment will be in support Of

StarIets Land
At ANNAPOLIS

Martha Merrill and Mary Treen,
two Warner Bros. starlets, arrived
in Annapolis yesterday from Holly
wood to join the Anchors Aweigh"
unit now on location at the Naval
Academy.
Miss Merrill is former Chicago
girl who was recently elevated
from the chorus ranks to that of
a featured player. Her rise in
picture work was rapid. Only a
few months ago she appeared in
the chorus of Gold DiggerS of
1885,"
A captivating smile, ability to
remember dialogue lines, willing
ness to work hard and study are
her chief assets.
1t was Dick Powell who first
discovered her. During the pro-
duction of one of the Warner
musicals Powell was asked to Sc
lect one of the chorus girls to ap-
pear in a special one-reel subject
which was to be used to exploit
the feature picture. He picked
Miss Merrill without any hest
fancy, and since then her rise in
the movies has been rapid.
Miss Treen, recently recruited
from the New York stage, and
Miss Merrill will remain in An
napolis for three days only. Be-
cause they are needed back on the
coast for another production, both
girls will start work Immediately
upon their arrival appearing in
the parts specially written for
them.
During their brief stay in Mary
lands capital they will stop at the
Carvel Hall Hotel, which is ada
cent to the naval grounds.

"OiI" Opens At
Earle Today

"Oil for the Lamps of China"
the latest Cosmopolitan production
released by First National Pic
lures opens at the Earle Theater
today and is heralded as both a
most powerful drama and stir
ring humanity document.
The novel, by Alice TiSdale Ho-
bart, upon which the picture is
based, and which was one Of the
best sellers, is a most colorful de-
lineation of the life of American
pioneers in China. who fought
flood, fire and famine, as well as
pestilence and banditry, to carry
on for the American firms whose
business they carried.
Mrs. Hobart spent years in
China, as the wife of an American
business man, and got her infor-
nation at first hand. She spent
many years in collecting her data,
and five years in writing her vivid
story.
The scenes for the most part are
laid in the Orient, including the
snow swept plains of Manchuria,
Peking, Shanghai and the torrid
interior.
The picture was more than a
year in the making, for atmoS-
pheric shots were taken in Man
chukuo a year before camera
crank was turned at the studio.
Director Mervyn Leroy spent
several months in the Orient,
studying China and the Chinese
customs, before beginning work.
A replica Of Chinese village
was erected on the Warner
Brothers lot, where hundreds of
Chinese from Los Angeles and
San Francisco collected in pic
turesque streets and houses.
Pat O'Brien has the leading
role, that of an American fired
with enthusiasm to make good
with his company and to bring
light to China by the way of lamps
and oil.
Josephine Hutchinson portrays
the girl Pat marries and, who, in
the end, saves him from being cast
aside by the company in whose
service he had spent lifetime of
work.
Jean Muir and John Eldredge
play the roles of friends of Pat
and Miss Hutchinson, who, failing
to understand Chinese methods,
are broken on the wheel Of ad-
Versity.

The Hayden beauty IS bIOn(
for Ann Harding whom she re-
sembled. She never caused a
commotion in Hollywood and it
was not until Noel Coward took
her in hand that what acting
talent she possesses was brought
to the surface Il have it on
the authority of one who saw
every scene of the picture made
that Actor Coward worked for
hours with Julie Hayden polish
ing up her acting. Not that
Coward cared particularly for
Miss Hayden. 1t just happened

ScOundreI" :. .Hecht and MacArthur who
made the picture exploited her as "find"
II glory in Julie Hayden's success, but
she is not exactly an ingenue actress. AS
long as 10 years ago she was Washington
leading woman in stock at the President
Theater. Played Sadie Thompson in Rain"
among other roles. l recall her work very
distinctly because Critic Len Hall developed
a violent crush on the lady just as he had
a heart futter about the same time on
Wanda Lyon. Even then Julie Hayden
knew her way around back stage.
The Washington times., 1935-06-14

this was his first important pic
ture and he was bound that his
work should not suffer through
inferior support in important
scenes. Julie Hayden got the full
benefit of the advice, the eX-
perience and acting knowledge
of a theater genius In addi-
ton she had an appealing role.
whereas Noel Coward was a real
Scoundrel in the screen story. >.
So Julie Hayden is rushed again
to Hollywood as a discovery"
Only those who saw the Para
mount picture made know how
much she owes to Coward as a
director.
Barrymore's Aid
This has happened before and
will happen again. I contend
that the young actress in Holly
wood gets the best of breaks
when the luck of the studio
casts her in pictures with actors
who know their stuff John
Barrymore for instance. He
made Armida in General Crack"
She never did anything else
worth while on the screen after
this picture. Barrymore also
rode Marion Marsh to her only
screen hit in "Svengali." He
made her a fine actress for this
one feature. Katharine Hep
burn had the benefit of Barry
more's advice IN her first pic
ture, Bill of Divorcement" -.
Carole Lombard's supreme act
ing for the screen was done
with Barrymore in twentieth
Century. Whatever you think
about John Barrymore person
ally, concede him this: He knows
about every trick in the acting
book and how they should be
applied.
Afraid of 1t
To get back to the Coward
picture, "The Scoundrel." It
seems a shame that washington
is denied a look at this picture.
It is thoroughly adult and we'll
acted. SO am told by those in
whose opinions I have the full
est confidence The trouble
seems to be that LoeW's booking
department has no faith in the
ability of this picture to make
money on F Street.
In early May, Keith's showed
"The Informer." It was one of
1855 best pictures and so rated
10y all key city critics, including
washington. Yet this picture Of
ireland in the days of rebellion
Just skinned by with a small
profit To see a feature like
1.-THE Informer" snubbed at the
box-office by the mass audience

reason to believe that Loew's feels
1.-THE Scoundrel" will suffer a
similar blight at the box office.
Noel Coward is recognized as a

Queer and director. In almost
