Casting Director
Seeks New aIent

Fred Schuessler, casting direc.
tor at RKO Radios Hollywood
studios, is in the East on a spe-
cial search to alleviate Holly
woods shortage of leading men.
Six candidates for screen testing
have been discovered by Schues-
Sler in his first weeks stay.
SchueSsler is now on a tour Of
the New England summer the
aterS whose companies are usually
filled with promising and attrac-
tive young noviceS of both sexes.
While he will not overlook a
likely-looking actress, his eyes will
be peeled for young men.
SchueSsler'S route will take him
along the Connecticut coastline,
where summer theaters thrive, to
the famous playhouseS on and
near Cape Cod, after which he
will head up the Maine coast
through Ogunquit and other
beach resorts. His last stop will
be at Skowhegan where there is a
noted summer company.

Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, "
directed by Esther Galbraith, with
settings by Howard Whitfield, and
costumes by Christine Stewart, in
Annapolis, Md, as the first stop
in a series of weekend tours to
nearby Maryland and Virginia
towns, in the summer holiday
season.
Howard Whitfield as Romeo,
and Edythe Goldman as Juliet

Maurice Jarvis as Friar Lawrence;
Mabel owens Wilcox as the Nurse;
Esther Galbraith as Lady Capulet;
James M. Rawls as Paris; Harry

|personS. Bitter, satiric and bril-
liant, however, they will keep you
interested.
The play is a sound piece of
craftsmanship. Meticulous work
has been done here and the care
fully woven plot nowhere shows a
ragged seam. It moves with a
natural force throughout. 1t is
not marred with false notes or
with over emphasis.
Mr.. Coward, who is the hero for
once and not the author, demon
strates he can act too. He con-
tributes an understanding inter
probation of the tragic hero.
Julie Hayden contributes an
able performance as the heroine,
a disillusioned girl. Alexander
Woollcott, as Alexander WOOL
colt, is just like Alexander WOOL
colt. Stanley Ridges deserves
mention for his thoroughly fine
work as rival for the love of the
girl.
A Walt Disney cartoon, a new
Thelma Todd and Patsy Kelly
comedy and the Metrotone News
augment the program, which is
thoroughly enjoyable.

To Sail Potomac

Joe Brown and his famous radio
kiddies will be hosts on the big,
modern Wilson Line steamer, City
of Washington, on Monday. The
steamer leaves at 10 a. m. and the
day will be packed full of fun
for all Riddles attending. Free
balloons, radio show, amateur con-
test, and many other features will
be presented both on the boat and
at Marshall Hall Park. Special
rates will be in effect on both the
10 a. m. and the 2 p. m. boats, and
amuSementS at Marshall Hall will
be half-rate. Joe Brown will be on
deck as master of ceremonies.
The Wilson Line offers four
convenient trips daily, at 10 a. M,

on its perpetrator, reveals some
one you would never guess as the
Semidemented killer.
The action of college Scandal"
is accentuated by the believable
acting of the principals. Wendy
Barrie, although at times rather
wan looking, turns in a pleasing
performance. Airline Judge at last
knows how to be natural on the
screen, and with her charm and
beauty is something to write about.
Ina Ray Hutton, the vivacious
blond baton brandisher, and her
'Melodears" top the stage show.
A gracious ovation at the conclu-
sion of the act did give proof of
musical appreciation.
Jack Pepper, erstwhile Earle

ing is as fresh and bouyant as ever,
but it is Terry Howard, most un-

Gene Raymond
Slams Contract

Henceforth, Gene Raymond, the
popular screen star, will appear
only in RKO-Radio Pictures. The
versatile blonde actor, who has an
enviable record in both dramatic
and musical pictures, has been
signed to a contract which calls
for his exclusive services.
In scoring this talent scoop on
rival studios, RKO induced Ray
mond to deviate from the success
full free-lance policy he has fol-
lowed since the early days of his
screen career. Raymond, who has
gone from one picture to another
without being able to fill but a
small proportion of the roles for
which he has been sought, has FIRE.
quently maintained that he would
never tie himself up with long
term contract.
In taking his place among the
galaxy of exclusive RKO-Radio
stars, Raymond returns to the
studio where he recently scored a
hit in the musical film, "Hooray
for Love-" The actor is a graduate
of the New York stage, having
been featured in many Broadway
productions before he was drafted
by the talking screen. His first
picture under the new contract
will be announced in the near
future.

Ace Detective
On Screen
At Met

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has ere.
ated the most famous detective
tales, those Of the arch cleuth,
Sherlock Holmes, which is ample
occasion for the mystery-minded
to put forth this week for the
Metropolitan Theater. Tie latest
triumph is based on a story, "Val-
ley of Fear" which proves an in.
tricate drama, deftly worked out
but not so interesting. Arthur
Wontener and Lyn Harding are
the leading performers in this
Olympic Pictures production and
do very we'll but the photography
throughout is so far below average
as to be annoying.
Moriarity is the leader of the
most violent gang of crooks and
criminals on the Continent but like
most Of the men behind 5he dirty
work, he is too clever to be cor.
nered until Holmes by mere logic,
tracks him to final horrible end.
The facts follow the usual trend
OF Conan Doyle melodrama,
though action is a bit slow till
well on in the story. England is
the background, and details are
trifle outmoded though the final
climax does compensate somewhat
for the ofttimeS drab, unStimulat-
ing moments.
No doubt the furtive and eerie
actions of the desperadoes, the
thread of mystery which is sus:
tanned quite convincingly, and the
occasional bits of hurnor inter
spersed by Mr.. Holmes, combine
to make murder mystery Of suf-
ficient appeal to satisfy detective
story devotees.
