At Keith's

Today. Keith's brought TO It's
screen the much discussed Love

"black eye" which she received In
this perturbation Of Faith Bald

Preston Foster, leading man Of
the picture, was fighting for her
love.
Miss Lombard, described a.
fascinating by her legion Of ad-
mirers, has been starred in in
Vulnerable hits. Kay Colby In
Love Before Breakfast" is stated
to be among her best roles. Uni

has been most painstaking and
lavish in the production Of the
picture.
The cast, judged solely on past
performances, is an excellent one.
There Is Preston Foster, Janet

in the picture are expected to
have feminine Washington all

Ever so recently the Pierce Hall
Players staged Charming Pollock's
The Fool" This is mentioned
because during the presentation of
that oddly titled show the title
role was so effectively handled by
Frank S. Koonce as to establish
him as one Of Washington'S bet
ter leading men.
In the forthcoming play by this
same group. Parcy MacKaye'S
THE Scarecrow," Mr.. Koonce has
deservedly won the privilege of
acting the leading male part. Tall
and fortnight, one to attract and
hold rapt attention, he should
find in the role Of Lord Ravens
bane (the scarecrow imbued with
the spark of life) much upon
which to work.
Opposite Mr.. Koonce will be Fe-
lice Lloyd. as Rachael, niece of
Justice Gilead Merton. Miss Lloyd
may be recalled for her work in

We got a scoop, we have! A
local dramatist and erstwhile play
wright-he has a connection with
radio acting company-has
dashed off a manuscript which
has an unusual theme, to say the
least. Not only that. but his effort
is being tried out locally by the
Triangle Players under an as
sumed title, because the play is
scheduled for Broadway!
The Washington title is The
Edge of Beyond" The theme, my
goodness, deals with life after
death-a dissertation on what we
do and what we think, if we are
able to do and think after death,
The setting is a resting place half
way between up there and
down thar" The author keeps
his characters at the resting place
until they receive :. call from
either place. It sort of sounds a
bit like outward Bound" but not
enough to bother with. The mu-
steal background should be the
Hungarian suicide song Gloomy

MEREDITH WITH R-K-O
Incidentally, Hardie Meakin
calls up to correct the impression
that "Winterset" will be done in
pictures by Metros oldwyn.Mayer.
The screen rights are the prop
erty of RKO-Radio pictures and
Burgess Meredith is under con-
tract to play Mic, the same role
which he enactS in the footlight
version.
The question is whether Holly.
wood will retain the blank verse
when the Anderson play becomes
a movie script, My guess is that
it will not, for "Winterset" for
all of its heightened rounded
words is essentially a melodrama
with plenty of action and besides
long speeches are not favored for
the screen.
However, that's just q guess.
Nothing official has been issued
on the subject. "Winterset," by
