Motion Picture Academy award
for this time and for all time
to Miss Greta Carlo, for her
astonishing and magnificent per.

she has created new standard
of perfection for the role Of the
lady with the cough.
We give to RKO an angel with
an unlimited bank account who
is careless with his millions, for
their courage for producing both
THE Informer" and Winter
SET" in the face of the fact that
they knew as we'll as the rest
of us that they wouldn't make
money, but did them anyway
because of a wish to do some
thing fine.

they are colossal-right back

rAlso, for his faith in himself for
risking cool million already on
a full-length animated cartoon
version of Snow White and the
Seven Dwarfs," branching out
into an absolutely unknown field.
We bestow another theme as
great to write a book about, on
Margaret Mitchell. for writing
what is possibly the most excit-
ing, and certainly the most read
novel ever written in America,
Gone With the Wind"
We send all the brilliantly
talented young toward Universals
door, because there, uniquely,
they trust their own judgment
and bank on their own lunches,
and dare make super features
with absolute unknowns, and get
away with it superbly, as wit
messed by the leaps to stardom Of
Deanna Durbin and Doris Nolan,
in just one picture each.
We grant superlative musicians,
devoted to giving their all to him
in every number, to Andre hostel
anetz, for taking old music, re-
vitalizing it and giving it sparkle,
and in general maintaining by
far the best orchestra at present
on the air.
To Paramount, we bring the
harp of Apollo and all the laurel
wreaths in Greece, for giving, and
promising to give in future, music
by such geniuses as Stokowski,
Werner Jansen, George Antreil,
Igor Stravinsky and Schoenberg,
and persuading the public to like
it and yell for more despite the
"tsk tsk" of the entire rest of the
movie industry.
We present the rainbow, and
the pot of gold at its end, to the
Kalmuses, for their work on tech
nicolor in improving it and broad
ening its scope and simplifying it
all the time.
We give eternal youth and
fascination to Marlene Dietrich,
for keeping us aware of the great
traditions Of the glamour girls of
another day, in an arid present,
for being the solitary star in all
of Hollywood at whose most
casual arrival one feels swelling
up inside a wish to roll the red
carpets out for her, and strike up
the band.

ABOUT "FREDERIKA"
I don't suppose could give a
nicer holiday present to a press
agent than to let him cover his
own show with 'pre-view" notice.
Listen then to Ben. H. Atwell and
his wire from Boston anent
"Frederika," the Franz Lehar
operetta which arrives at the Ma
tional Theater January II.
The lOng-heralded challenge
to jazz and the saxophOne in
the theater took concrete form
tonight in the American pre-
miere of Franz Lehar'S Operetta,
"Frederika."
LavishIy produced, with Helen
Gleason, Metropolitan Opera
prima donna in the title role,
and Giuseppe BOmbaschek, for.
mer chief Of staff Of that in
Stitution, at the conductors
desk.
Stellar hOnOrS were shared
by Dennis King in the role Of
Goethe, great Eighteenth CEN
fury poet: Miss Gleason and
Ernest Truck as comedy relief.
An Overcrowded, enthusiastic
audience hailed ]. J. Shubert's
elaborate and costly gesture to
prove domination of jazz in pub
lie entertainment at an end.
Lehar's music is almost Oper-
attic in many passages, and re-
iterates the insinuating pathetic
undertone suggestive Of tears
that characterized his sensa-
tionally successful Merry Widow.
Many Of Dennis Kings lines
are direct quotations from writ
ings or utterances Of the poet
and statesman, whose renuncia-
ton of an early love for the In
terests of the state constitute
the theme.
Happy New Year!

! Mrs. Carroll, a v1vaclous French
brunette who anticipates COM
plete happiness as the wife of a
talented artist. Up to this point
Godfrey appears a misunderstood
and tickle Casanova, with heavy
alimony his chief worry.
AUDIENCE GUESSES
It is when the two Mrs. CAROLS
get together and Geoffrey's dis
carded mate tells a few truths
that the play gathers tenseness
and a real degree Of excitement.
From that time on it is a guess
ing contest between playwright
and audience with the footlight
characters invariably ahead, al
though the WELLER script resorts
to incredibilities and bungling
technique in acquiring it's puzzling
twists. To disclose it's climax
here would be to destroy interest
for those who will see the play
later.
Frances Starr was denied the
opening welcome that her home
town city was ready to accord
last night because her first ap-
pearance is with back to the audi
ence, in a somber cassock-like
gown and with a heavy makeup
that conceals her matured charms.
The real breath-holding moments
Of THE Two Mrs. CAROLS" come
when Frances Starr, with just the
right measure Of pause and en-
phaSiS, uncovers Godfrey for the
monster that he is.
NEEDS FIXING
Miss Miramova is an actress of
animation and charm, serving
handsomely the lighter and more
romantic interludes, and proving
strikingly competent in the long
emotional sessions that must be
physically eXhausting.
Others in the good company are
Mabel Paige, Betty Hanna, Leo
more Harris, Jeanne Stuart, Grant
Miss and Whitford Kane.
Earle Larrimore, after over
coming his preliminary nervous
ness, appeared to bite into role
that has better possibilities when
rewritten.
Settings are by G. E. Calthrop
and the direction credit goes to
John Hayden.
Summed UP "The Two Mrs.
CAROLS starts too leisurely,
builds to a good second act of
mystery horror, fails miserably in
its final stanza, which is desper-
ately in need of the play doctor.
With the polish that must come,
it may find an audience among
those that like detective fiction
and plays that keep you guessing.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1936-12-29

night in abundant measure. Fran.
ces Starr, particularly, had two
beautifully acted and spoke:
scenes which gave the drama q
real lift and Miss Marimova dem
onstrated she was well equipped
to lend power to momentN drip
ping with emotion.
THE Two Mrs. CAROLS" is the
story of potential Bluebeard. His
viciousnesS and his cruelty are
we'll covered by an artistic veneer
and the faculty for pretty speech
in the drawing room.
Frances Starr plays the first
Mrs. Carroll, a girl of plain and
homely virtues, who was amazed
at her own success in winning such
a man as Godfrey. AS the play
opens she is about to divorce him
after some years of unhappiness,
and for a reason artfully con-
cealed.

BLACK LEGION
BIG MYSTERY
TO SCIENTIST
Battles Explanation Die to
Lack of Motive, Says
Psychologist.

Bp United Press
ANN ARBOR. Mich, May 81. -
The Black Legion, an organization
which, through recent disclosures,
has shocked the nation by it's ter
roristic policies, is a phenomenon
beyond a psychological explanation,
Prof. John F. Shepard, nationally
known psychologist Of the University
OF Michigan, said today.
Until a motive that will bear
sound reasoning is suggested, the
psychologist is at loss to explain the
movement" Prof Shepard said. I'm
many instances Of history-and even
today-we have had secret societies.
In Germany there is a compare
lively vast underground organiza-
ton, and in the United States we
have Fascist groups.
AstonIshcd by Size
But, all these organizations have
obvious motives and none OF them
are as malicious as the Black Lee
gion. The lack OF motive makes the
Black Legion a phenomenon to the
psychologist"
In referring to motives of the in
dividual, Prof. Shepard cited the
false importance acquired by mem
bership in a secret organizat ton and
the resulting qualification to the
ego. A secret organization, he said.
tends to make a megalomaniac of
many commonplace men.
The uniform of cross bones and
skulls" he suggested, would in
duce men to join, Just as the
glamour of uniforms and marching
induces men to join the Army"
There is also a desire, he be-
heVed, in some men to act as su-
preme arbiters over what is right
and wrong. This, he continued, is
only an incidental motive.
Sees Liberalism Helped
IF it was merely a small organ
ization it could probably be ex-
planned easily, but that 10000 citi-
zens of the state of Michigan
should Join such an organization is
beyond my understanding"
Prof Shepard said that upon

hearing of the Black Legion he
thought it was probably an anti
Red organization, but that he now
finds it impossible to believe that
there should be so many bigoted
men and women in Michigan as to
join such group.

the movement the liberal cause will
be increased by numbers.
There will be a strong reaction
against such terroristic strong arm
methods that will swing many per-
sons to the cause of liberalism" he
said.
