Oakie Seals Self in
Film Costume Armor

Whether to go home in a suit of
armor or visit the nearest safe ex-
pert was the quandry Jack Oakie
found himself in recently when a
steel helmet became stuck on the
Oakie skull and for time firmly
resisted all efforts to dislodge it
after the filming of a scene at
Paramount.
Oakie and Henry Wadsworth
had been wearing armor all day
for sequence in THE Big Broad
cast of 1885" All went well until
quitting time when they started to
remove it. WadsWorth got his off
safely, but in some manner Oakie'S
helmet became wedged to the
breastplate and it eventually took
a studio metal worker to get it off.

tress' ability. It is this scene
which Eva LIE Gallienne will
bring to the stage Of Loew's Fox
beginning today. In support Of
the illustrious star, who plays
Juliet, will be seen Donald Cam
eron, as Romeo.
Romeo and Juliet" is a young
play, as well as possibly the best
known in dramatic history. It
was written for a public in the
theater of that day which was
largely composed of youth. Miss
LIE Gallienne, rather young herself
to have achieved such a degree of
greatness, has managed this pro-
duction in the right mood.
The balcony scene Is given none
Of the coquettishness and mean
ingless purring which moonlight
often encourages. Her Juliet is

and startled. The scene is filled

It is said of the Juliet which
Washington will witness, lie Gal
lienne is an actress and director
who has paid her devoir to
Shakespeare instead of self and
has followed him faithfully with
out thought to personal glory"
True as this statement might
be, it is, nevertheless, true that
never has this great actress
brought greater glory to her art
and herself than in the role of
Juliet. Maybe this is her re-
ward for her honesty to the love-
classic of Shakespeare,

A great deal will depend on
how Washington takes Eva lie

Shakespeare opening at the Fox
Theater today. She will do the
balcony scene from Romeo and

aware it is the first attempt made
to bring the Bard Of Avon to the
