Ev ely n Laye Is
Starred d in
Comedy.

"CwEET ALoEs." British comedy
hit, with Evelyn Laye in the lead
ing role, will open its engagement on
this side Of the Atlantic tomorrow
night at the National Theater, pre-
sented by Lee Ephraim.
Miss Laye, who made her stage
debut at the age of by wandering
unannounced onto the set where her
mother and father were performing,
is best known to theatergoers in this
country for her work in Noel Coward's
"Bittersweet." She is married to
Frank Lawton, the motion picture
actor.
Sweet Aloes" was directed by Ty-
rome Guthrie, who also directed Call
1t a Day." which scored hit few
weeks ago when it opened here, and
later in New York Call It Day"
also was presented by Lee Ephraim, in
association with the Theater Guild.
Miss Laye's starring play, the work
of Joyce Mallory, Is a three-act com.
edy, with the action occurring in Lon
don and New York. Settings for the
play were designed by Raymond Sovey.
The British musical comedy star is
supported by a cast which includes a
number of prominent English and
American players. Rex Harrison, who
appeared recently in support Of Marie
Tempest in London, has one of the
important roles.

form Of expression and put more Of
themselves into their work than the
fllm actors of today.
THE old-time stars were less tenn
peramental. They accepted the
parts directors, writer's and camera.
men selected for them without ques.
ton. They worked harder. For in.
stance, King Baggott, one Of my
early stars, made as many as IS to
20 pictures year. The smallest num-
ber any star made was 7 or 8 a year.
Today, 4 or pictures is considered
very hard program for any one star
to complete in the same period.
STARS today receive enormous SAL
aries, compared to the early days.
Back in 1910, Mary Pickford and
Florence Lawrence, known as the
girl with the dimples,' received as
little as SITS week, and $500 a week
was considered remarkably high.
But in fairness to modern-day
screen folk. old-time players were not
required to have the finesse Of
present-day stars, and while the
modern product has lost some of the
early glamour, he or she now com.
mands respect and adulation for
ability and intelligence rather than
just for being handsome or beauti-
ful model on the silver sheet"
Evening star., 1936-02-23

with characteristic fortitude he refused
to postpone the interview.
"The best thing that has happened
to the industry in my time Is the re-
cent league of decency campaign" he
stated. I'm spite of the Improvements
due to sound and better recording, pic
lures we're on the point Of running their
market through putting too much sex
in their film offerings. The decency
campaign was blessing in disguise
and forced producers to make better,
cleaner pictures"
Temperament, sophisticated film
fare, too much talking, the high cost
Of actors and actresses and uncertainty
about public taste are, in the veteran
producers opinion, responsible for the
unsatisfactory financial condition OF
the motion picture industry today.
I'VE still have a lot to learn" he
continued. "In my opinion two of the
greatest mistakes made by producers
at the present time are the tendency
to make sophisticated pictures that
only the mature, adult minds can
comprehend, and too much dialogue in
the place of action. For 80 years I
have been making pictures that entire
