Trees Come Down.

Skeletons of trees will shoulder for

Next year will come another layer of
Christmas trees that never found a

Christmas trees.
Watch the junk collectors weave in

the usual Hollywood studio salary to
every young thing that makes pictures
more interesting by its presence. And
besides, there are endless rules that
state just how many minutes the babies
can be subjected to studio lights, and
how long they have to rest between
shots.
Believe me, it costs plenty for the
average motion picture company to
give an audience the thrill it inevi-
tably gets when a baby's laugh or cry
speeds up the action of the picture.
But it's worth it, both to the company

DRAMA GUILD PLAYS
"TOBIAS AND ANGEL" 4"
Excellent Character Work Dis
played in Offering at Ward

by talented group of players at the
Wardman Park Theater. Incidentally,

furnished much of the entertainment
as enacted by the Guild players. The
Archangel Raphael, in his earthly role
of Azurius, poor porter, takes the
timid, shrinking Tobias and makes
quite man Of him by the seemingly
simple process of leading him through
series of adventures with water
demons, bandits and most horrible
creature somewhat like the dragons
Of medieval mythology. These ad-
Tobias returns home with beautiful
bride and a large fortune, composed,
in part, of the wife's dowry.
Harold Weinberger was quite effec-
tive as Azurius, being successful in
giving his role the necessary dignity,
and at the same time acting the hum
BILE servant. Tobias was played by
John Rappolt. jr., and Sarah, his wife,
by Dorothy Howard.
Undoubtedly the outstanding per-
formance Of the evening was given by
Marvin Herrick as Raguel, Sarah's
father. Splendidly dressed in q COS
tune reminiscent Of David's coat of
many colors, he dominated the scenes
in which he appeared.
The pious Tobit, Tobias father, was
played by Harry Westcott. Like
PoLyanna, he always looked on the
bright side of things, and ably BAL
anced the pessimistic part played by
Anne Ives as Anna, his wife.
Other excellent Guild players tax
ing part In the performance were
Denis Connell, Hilda Cunniff, Alice
Hunter. Louise Fulton, Ellison Royce,
Marjorie Bean and Murray Bern

the play was enhanced by better

by Dewitt Croissant.

Antoinette Perry is credited by Mr..

which has had New York practically
by the ears for some is months and
which comes next week to the Ma
tional Theater. Now this might, by
some cynics, be construed as a piece
Of publicity for Mr.. Steve Cochran's
next show, but even those cynics will
admit that Miss Perry is woman
who has a canny way with plays and
their actors as a mode of expression
and that she has been largely re-
sponsible for several hits.
Strictly DiShonourable," which a
few years ago was one of the out
standing comedies of its day was one
of them and she also directed. Just last
year, thrilling melodrama of avia-
ton, Ceiling Zero" which also had
its day on Broadway, or at least on one
of the side streets just off Broadway.
Miss Perry was associated with Mr..

A for the Warner Bros, admits that
the cash customers still are nightly
interested in knowing "whozinnit?"
when they look over the evenings film
fare, but he AYERS as how they want
to know more and more who the di-
rector is. So he sends forth list of
directors whose new productions will
be shown at the Earle (now you know
why Mr.. La Falce is interested IN the
subject), which should be interesting,
for he is correct in his contention that
the public is realizing how important
the director is, and is taking an in
creasing interest in the matter of who
told "whozinnit" what to do.
This list reads something as
follows:
Frank Capra, who won the Acad-

Frank 8orzage, Academy award
winner with Seventh Heaven" and
