PATRICIA MOVES UP
When little Patricia Bowman,
Washington's gift to the ballet
art, danced The Dying Swan
at the Fox theater two months
ago she was afraid that vaude-
vile audiences would not appre-
ciate the dance, a classic with
photographers But F Street
was soothed into silence by its
beauty and the accompanying
cello solo Of YaScha Bunchuk. t.
Fokine, famous dancing master
who taught Patricia the dance,
also gave it to Pavlowa and
coached his wife, in the routine.
They are the only three who have
danced The Dying Swan" .
On Friday night at Jones Beach,
Long Island, Miss Bowman will
be the ballerina for the Fokine
Ballet in a program employing an
orchestra of 100 and a chorus of
IS dancing girls on a floating
stage entirely surrounded by water
She calls it the supreme
achievement of a career in which
she has danced before 100000
people and spent nine years and
more than 5000 practice hours as
the prize pupil of Fokine.
CORNELL WELCOMED
Katharine Cornell has COM
pletely conquered Hollywood,
although she has perSistently re-
fused all movie offers. Perhaps
that's one reason they like her.
Let Ray Henderson's bulletin on
her opening in Shaw's Saint
Joan" tell the story:
"When Katharine Cornell
made her first appearance in
Bernard Shaw'S saint Joan"
in the BiltmOre Theater in Los
Angeles on June rs. the audi
ence was star-studded. AS de
gitimate" attractions are rare
and travelling companies rarer in
this mOvie-ridden city, the first
night Of a spoken drama takes
on the proportions of an event
in the life Of Hollywood.
"In the audience were several
players who have been aSSOci-
ated with Miss Cornell on the
stage, notably Brian Aherne
and Basil RathbOne. FranchOt
Tone, who made his stage debut
with Miss Cornell in "The Age
Of Innocence" attended the Sat
urday night performance with
Joan Crawford. In Betty Lyn-
ton" Miss Crawford acted on the
screen the same character Miss
Cornell played on the stage in
"DishOnOred Lady"
among the celebrities at the
opening of saint Joan" in Los
Angeles were Marlene Dietrich,
Norma Shearer, Talllulah Bank
head, Merle OberOn, Mary Pick
ford, Billie Burke, Gloria Swan
son, Alice Joyce, Jean Muir,
Clark Gable, John Barrymore,
Harold Lloyd, Conrad Nagle,
Clifton Webb, NinO MARITIME,
Cecil DeMille, John Ford, Clar.
ence Brown, Edmond GOuIding,
Herbert Bieberman, Reuben
