Continuing Broadway's favorite
pastime of ltmpooning Hollywood
and the movie industry. boy Meets
Cir" which opens at Englishs Mon
day for two nights and a Tuesday
matinee, picks up the threads of the
story where "Once in Lifetime"
and Personal Appearance" left it.
The comedy, winner OF last weeks
New York Dramatists' Guild award,
is from the pen of the Spewacks-
Bella, the short story writer, and
Samuel, the journalist. MIR. Spe-
wach is remembered, among other
things, for his amusing behind-the-
scenes stories of the international
oil scramble which are credited with
having broken up the Genoa Peace
Conference.
In boy Meets Girl" the authors
tweak the noses of cinema capital
moguls with good natured satire.
The plot, based upon the Spewacks'
own studio experience, centers about
two imaginative scenario writer's
who chase story like a kitten
chases ball. and generally conduct
themselves on plane of inspired
idiocy.
One Of the chief characters is the

Mr. Nichols adaptation of "The

The playwright's verse, much as he

Remembers
ZiegfeId as
Easy Going
Local Musician BIames His
'IdeaIism' for Not Taking
lob With 'Flo.'
BY JAMES THRASHER

When Karl Reckzeh came to Chi
cago from Leipzig in 1900, The
Great Ziegield" was Florence Zieg-
field ST., more famous as the CO.
founder and director of the Chica-
go Musical College than as the
father of Americas super Snowman.
Mr.. Reckzeh has not seen the
cinematic biography Of the FOL
lies" creator, now showing for a
second week at Loew's, but he has
many personal recollections Of the
Ziegfelds, father and son.
During few leisure moments be-
fore last nights Maennerchor re-
hearSal, Mr.. Reckzeh, veteran. con-
ductor of the chorus. called to mind
the time when Flo" then manager
of his fathers music school, was
cured OF the gambling habit by the
loss Of $4,000 in single night. Mr..
Zeigfeld ST., paid the bill, and Flo
soon afterward left for New York to
begin his brilliant career as Anna
Held's manager.
Turned Down $500 Offer
In 1903, ziegfeld returned to Chi
cago with Miss Held. heard Mr..
Reckzeh conduct a cast from the
musical college and the Chicago
Symphony Orchestra in a perform
ance of Beethoven's opera, "Fidelio,"
and promptly offered him position
as orchestra director on Miss Held's
Forthcoming American tour. The
salary was $500 a week, but Mr..
Reckzeh turned it down.
Il was more idealistic in those
days" was his comment.
Asked about Anna Held. Mr..
Reckzeh described her as charm
ing, not beautiful"
Her shows really were nothing"
he continued. There was no Mot:
she only sang, and always in French,
while about dozen girls formed
a background. But the cheapest
seats were $3.50, and the house was
always crowded"
F1orenz ziegfeld Jr.. said Mr..
Reckzeh, was very reticent man.
and extremely difficult to know. His
father, on the other hand. was both
affable and accessible. Both father
and son spent money freely, and
the father was unusually lucky as
well. He always financed his year
ly trip to Europe by winning on
the speed of the boat, and so forth.
And at poker, DR.. Reckzeh re-
marked, he was unbeatable.
The senior Ziegfeld's career, from
the founding of the Chicago Musi-
cal College during Civil War DAYS.
was one Of unimpeachable honesty
and great generosity. One of the
first music school directors to guar
antee salaries, he continued tha
policy through good years and bad.
almost to his undoing.
AS for Flo, Mr.. Reckzeh believes
that although the cultural value"
OF the "Folries" was negligible, the
showman's colorful career is well
deserving Of the tribute paid him in
The Great ziegfeld."

from his cot, hitting his head on

Henry B. Walthall, one time IA
vorite of silent pictures, is playing
his most important role since his
return to sound films. He is en-
gineer and designer of the flying
ship China Clipper" in the pro-
duction of that title. There is
frailty in his bearing and tremor in

hand trembles perceptibly as he

ton of a first appearance, and en-
joyed seeing others receive the

There was excitement enough
yesterday for the units members to
disturb the routine of even a pro-
feSSional show.
Blues Singer, Ruth Reed was
robbed, just before the first show,
OF a purse containing $35 and her
wrist watch by two men who held
and robbed her in an alley near the
theater door. Police later located

Mrs. William Jolly, 902 N. Airing
ton-av, arrived at 8, to the theater.
He was rushed down the aisle to
the stage as the show was closing.
Parents Share Pride
Just as proud as Billy, who hap
pens to be a modest, enaSsuming
chap, we're his father and mother.
They shared the debut spotlight to
watch their son play as he did Sun
day night-so fast the pianist had
difficulty keeping the pace. Billy
explained during the ride to the
theater that he feared his arm was
so stiff he couldn't play, but this
was forgotten in the excitement OF
rounds of applause which welcomed
him back to indianapolis.
Preceding Billy home from the
amateur hour performance was AL
vim Joslin, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
George c. Joslin, 525 N. Colorado
av, who arrived by plane early yes
terday to join the Lyric troupe for
the first afternoon stage show. Al
vim, as those who heard the Sunday
program know, plays the saxophone,
and plays it we'll.
Mrs. Joslin did not see her sons
debut at the Lyric, although Mr.
Joslin attended to see him reap the
benefits of years of training given
by his father.
