Newspaper Advertising Big

She Is Lonely
in Hollywood
Her Own Best Friend, Says

Hollywood is the lonesomest
town in the world" Frances Farmer

where she won a beauty contest.
Strangely, the contest award was
not a trip to Hollywood, but tour

Back in New York, she was offered
a movie contract.
IF I couldn't stand my own COM
pany," Miss Farmer said, I'D be
the unhappiest girl in the world, be-
cause I'm alone morning, noon and
night.
"As it is, don't have bad time
at all. I have my books, car, and
plenty of work on new parts.
Il didn't care for the boys sent
to show me the town upon my ar
rival and I guess I made a mis-
take by saying that all the boys in
Hollywood are terrific bores," COM
mented the blond actress.
Not Bothered Now
Anyway, they haven't bothered
me since. AS a matter of fact,
prefer my own company to that of
most of the young men in this town.
If they want to pass me by, it's all
right with me. But I do wish my
own Seattle crowd wasn't so far
away"
Miss Farmer, decidedly not the
type of girl most men would pass by

ResettIement
Film Is Ready
Historical Movie Shows
Great Plains Life.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, April IA new
motion picture producing unit is to
make its DEBUT early this month
when the Resettlement Administra-
ton offers the premiere showing of
its first cinema masterpiece, The
Pillow That Broke the Plains"
The film pictures the history of
the great plains, from the time
when first settlers broke the ground
for planting to the present day.
The motion picture producing di-
vision was organized late last sum-
mer when Pare Lorentz, magazine
editor and movie critic, sold the
idea to Administrator Rexford Guy
Tugwell and his associates.
Because of doubt that producing
a movie would cone under the Re-
settlement Administration official
activities, an estimate of $4,000 to
$4,000 was submitted to Con-
troller General John R. McCarl. He
approved.
Lorentz was employed at undis-
closed salary and told he would
have to keep expenses below the
$4,000 maximum. He agreed to do
all the story-writing. scenario
writing, and film editing himself.
He has stayed within the maximum.
He rented a camera and hired
three unemployed cameramen. The
quartet headed for the great plains.
Lorentz had his script written by
the time they arrived. On the way
home they took some shots" of
tenant-farmers and sharecroppers
in the cotton belt.

Players Hit
New Pace in
The Barker
This Weeks Show Is Best
Federal Troupe Has
Given.
BY JAMES THRASHER

That bawdy bit from carnival life
called "The Barker" is the vehicle
in which the Federal Players reach
new entertainment level at Keith's
this week. Discounting all the OBJ
vious melodlama in which this Ken
yon Nicholson hit aboundS, it re-
mains the best drama the troupe has
given, and the players put it across
the footlights with punch.
Familiar in its stage and screen
version, 1.-THE Barker" tells the story
of the unfortunate young lady who
finds love, at last, with a simple
hearted boy. The father, seeing his
sons future in danger, tries to buy
off the girl, with the usual results.
In other words, a sort of Side-show
Camille" But the play is spiced
with pungent dialogue and a bitter
sort of humor which gives new life
to a time-worn plot.
Careful casting of the principals
had much to do with the success of
last nights opening performance.
Jack Duval is the Barker who bally-
hoos the Side-show. His son Chris
Med LeFevre) joins the show and
falls for the snake charmer, Lou,
played by Betty Anne Brown. Alice
Arnold portrays Carrie, the dancer
who loves the Barker, and whose
jealousy starts all the trouble.
Dramatic Spots Stressed
Director Charles Berkell rightly
has played up the dramatic stiua-
lions at the expense of comedy, and
the result is performance smooth
er and more swiftly paced than pre-
vious productions. The second act,
especially, is done with telling sin
certify.
Mr.. Duvall is excellent as the no.
account trouper whose one redeem
ing feature is his ambition for his
son. AS the awkward, innocent
Chris, Mr. LeFevre continues his
good work with a fine performance.
Miss Brown, even more hard=boiled
than in her last weeks role of 1.-THE
Brat" gives a convincing if some
times Overzealous portrayal. Miss
Arnold's dramatic performance of
the interruptions Carrie is satisfy
ing. Best in the supporting cast are
Elsa Ewell as Nav Benson, the for
tune teller, and Paul S. Rouse as
| Doc White.
Next week the Federal Players are
to offer for the first time on any
stage a three-act play do Unto
Others with Charles Althoff, seen
here recently in vaudeville, as guest
star.

Her condition gradually became
worse and during the night hope for
her was abandoned.
She was born in Evansville, Ind,
Sept. l, 1898. Both her parents were
stage people.

her old role in screen version of
Sally" After her success in

ham engaged her for the title role
in Peter Pan" The public liked
Marilyn as 1.-The Boy Who Never
Grew Up"
In 1888, Marilyn left Hollywood
and went back to Broadway. Her
vehicle was "As Thousands Cheer. "
Again she was a success.
She married three times. Her
first husband was Frank Carter
who played with her in the "Zieg-
field Follies" in 1920. In July, 1922.
she married the late Jack Pickford,
motion picture star and brother of
Mary Pickford.
Four years later they separated,
and in 1927 Marilyn was granted a
Paris divorce.
In October, 1884, Marilyn eloped
to Harrison, N. Y, and was mar
ried to Chester O'Brien, who ap-
peared with her as chorus man in
"As Thousands Cheer" O'Brien
had been dismissed after an argu-
ment during the run of the show,
and coming to his defense, Miss
Miller Immediately handed in her
notice. She was replaced by Doro-
thy Stone.
