After Late
Start

accent on Youth" the play
with which the National Players
will open their eleventh season on
Sunday night, April %, was ad-
mittedly neglected by the New
York dramatic critics. 1t was the
error of Producer Crosby Gaige in
opening it on Christmas night.
It took a few weeks for the pub
lie to become conscious that a new
hit had entered the Broadway pa
rade. When movie producers be.
gan to bid for the rights to "Ac-
cent on Youth" the drama was
definitely established as success.
Paramount bought it as a vehicle
for Sylvia Sidney, paying $4,000
for the screen rights.
BY that time the so-called first
string critics had begun to drop
around for a belated look. Editor
John Anderson graciouSly con.
ceded that in spending the yule-
tide in the accepted manner he
had missed good play. Said he:
'While some of us were look
ing the other way on Christmas
night, Crosby Gaige, being a
whimsical fellow, elected him
self Santa Claus and deposited
upon the Plymouth stage a
package of drama which have
only this minute unwrapped.
Like most tardy presents, it
turns out to be the best of the
Christmas lot, q suave and
steadily amusing comedy which
has both lightneSs and sub
stance, a comedy in fact of
gaiety, urbanity and point. 1t
is called Accent on Youth by
Samson RaphaeISon, and you'll
not find another piece on the
ticket racks of its exact quality
and special prOvOcation. Take
it and be grateful"
BY special permission of Pro
ducer Crosby Gaige the National
Players are permitted to present
this hit comedy while it is yet run
ming on Broadway with the origi-
inal company. Some New York
drama lovers feel that the Samson
Raphaelson play is destined for
the 1934-35 Pulitzer award. Time
will tell about this. About its
New York success there is no
debate.
Accent on Youth" offers Nancy
Sheridan and Roy Roberts Splen'
did parts and there are congenial
roles for all the other principals
of the National company. The
opening night performance, Sun
day, April %, will be testimonial
to the Actors Fund of America,
with which Daniel Frohman, dean
of the American theater, and
other celebrities present.

to BeIasco

The change of program at the
Belasco this week will not be the
usual Thursday, but Saturday,
when George ArliSs, as Yelling
ton. in "The Iron Duke" will be
shown.
Mr.. Arliss as the master of Ma
polean adds another role to the
list that gives him the right to
be called the first actor Of the
world. His Wellington is a
worthy successor to his Roths-
child in the film concerning the
family of that name.
1.-THE Iron Duke" is historical
pageant of great power and sweep.
Europe, 1915! Twenty-Five years
of war, campaigns that spread
from the Russian steppeS to the
Spanish ranges, to Egypt and the
sands of the Holy Land. Naval
campaigns at Trafalgar and
Aboukir Bay.

Then 1915, Napoleon escapes

restores his imperial crown. The
Hundred Days. Europe hurrying
to destroy him, and Rothschild

This is the history of Europe
when wellington and Napoleon
faced each other on the plains

Radio really is responsible for the rebirth
of amateur nights, although the network
facilities do not offer the best method of
developing talent. For one thing radio prac-
tically restricts entertainment to those with
a voice and aspirants who can mimic or play
some instrument.
Up to now radio has failed to produce a
comedian in the amateur ranks. It offers
nothing to the future Houdini or Hermann,

Are They Amateurs?


Are They Amateurs?
Some complain that the radio
amateur night is a cruel ordeal
for the beginner. Besides the
usual first night nervousness the
aspirant suffers from the fear of
being Inundated before his friends
and being the target for the an
nouncer's wit. Personally I feel
that those who have what it takes
can surmount this handicap.
The useful purpose it should
serve is to show vaudeville man.
ayers and bookers that new talent
in the bud is awaiting encourage
ment and is seeking some avenue
for audience expression. I think
vaudeville in recent years has been
woefully lax in providing the op-
portunity for new entertainers
and has, as a result, been almost
completely dependent upon radio
for such fresh faces and virgin
talent as appears upon our movie
stages.
Radio having shown the way
with amateur night" the movie
theaters have gradually been TAX
ing up the idea. No Washington
movie stage has yet offered an
evening weekly in which the tyros
can try-out but other key cities are
finding it a profitable adjunct to
the regular program.
The professional amateur is one
Of the convenient Swindles that is
worked on a gullible public. That
is entertainers of experience and
with professional background
often find it an easy way to relieve
the stress of open weeks and un-
employment. They are slipped in
as amateurs whereas such talents
as they possess have been tried
and tested-and probably found
wanting-by SmaQ-time bookers.
Regular booking agents are supply
ing these professionals" for anna
teur nights.
What, after all, is an amateur?
I heard a voice singing an operatic
aria on the Major BoWes program
last night that was too well
trained and backed up by too
much assurance to be owned by
one making a first public appear
ance. I venture it has been heard
on the air before and from some
stage also. I am not complaining
about the voice. It was excellent.

to believe that talent such as this

ticularly Sam Wheeler, will tell

Systems to beat the daily
double are cropping up as fast as
April raindrops. The latest which
worked Saturday is picking the
outstanding horse in either the
first or the third race and buying
50 tickets on every horse in the
other race. For example, General
Lejeune in the first race was the
horse Saturday, and coupled with
each entry in the third race would

West must discard one of his tens,

Secretary American Bridge League
NNE of the most popular vic
~ tories in the National tourna-
ment recently held at Asbury Park
by the American Bridge League was
the winning of the mems pair event
by Capt. Fred G.. French and Ed
ward M. Cook Jr. of Philadelphia.
Capt. French has long list of
championships to his credit, while
this is Mr.. Cooks first major vic
tory in national competition.
Todays hand illustrates Capt.
Frenchs ability as a card analyst.
After accidentally placing himself
at a disadvantage early in the game,
he was still able to visualize the
entire hand and obtain a maximum
score on it.
Captain French. the declarer, won
the opening heart lead with dunn
my's king. After considering his
hand and the dummy's, he exposed
his cards and claimed the balance
of the tricks Immediately, how
ever. he recognized that he might
have losing trick in either hearts
or diamonds, and while his contract
for six-odd was not in danger, he
might not be able to make the ex-
ira trick.
In a case of this kind, the rules
require that declarer place all OF
his cards face upon the table. and
make a complete statement as to
his method of play. He must eX-
plain the order in which the cards
are to be played. and the exact dis
position of every card in his own
hand and dummy, before making
another play.
Captain French considered the
situation for a moment and then
made the following statement:
7 will play the hand with the
hope that West holds the jack-ten
of hearts and the queen of dia-
mondS. I will play the ace of
clubs at the second trick. discard
ing a small heart on it. I will then
play out the king of diamonds. and
then all the spades.
AT the tenth trick West will be
