Has Grace andGayety
Jazz Never Had,
HeDeclares.

~ AVE McWILLIANS, whose
orchestra provides the music
at the Spanish garden ball
- room at Glen Echo Park,
steps forward with a few words on
one Of the days much-discussed sub
jects-swing music.
The Glen Echo maestro doesn't try
to define swing" but he does take
sides against those people who say
swing" is just jazz with new name.
Swing music has a lot Of things its
predecessor, jazz, never had, Mac says.
It has a grace, gayety, Ightness
jazz never approached, according to
McWilliams and it doesn't bear down
so hard on hectic primitive rhythms.
Swing was Just made for those
dancers who know how to ad lib their
steps and to put something Of their
own into every dance. 1t gives all
dancers a chance to do something
different If they are so inclined They
can add their own trimmings right
onto the basic waltz, tango and glide
steps" Thus does Mr.. McWilliams
speak Of the merits of swing music.
It's the sort of music Mac likes to
play out at the Spanish garden ball
room, too, because he gets kick out
of watching dancers get the feel of
the music, improvise original steps as
they go along.
In addition to Mr.. McWilliams and
his swing music. Glen Echo boasts the
Crystal Pool and number Of other
park attractions.
George Kistner and his orchestra,
who came to town last Tuesday TO
start a special two-week engagement
on the Wilson Line steamer, City of
Washington, has scored a hit with
dancers who make the sunset and
moonlight cruise. Kistner and his
band are on hand for each river trip.

Of reviewing the theater.
The photoplay year shows signs of
being a particularly good one. Vast
numbers of interesting films are
promised, ranging from The Plough
and the Stars" to Romeo and Juliet"
and from The Good Earth" to Lost
Horizon" More and more is Holly
wood making inroads into Broadways
choicest talents. Actors, playWrightS,
directors and song writer's seem to
find the fleshpots of the West ir-
resiStible, and it is automatic that no
sooner does a new and personable
performer appear on the New York
stage than he-or, more likely, She
is kidnapped and rushed off to
California. To the veteran theatrical
observer Hollywood boulevard has, so
far as its cast Of characters goes, be-
come Broadway. and Broadway has
become the suburbs. Il it weren't
for Miss Katharine Cornell and Miss
Helen Hayes, there might be times
when one would be led to suspect
that the only players who worked in
New York we're those who couldn't
get Hollywood jobs.
WHY, then, should any one, pre-
sumably in possession of some
Of his senses, want to give up writing
about the live and vigorous screen to
contemplate professionally the mori-
bund theater? For one thing, after
IL years of attempting to write
something comparatively fresh about
the same old plots, it probably is
time to give some one else chance.
I must say that it will be a pleasure
to go for a while without writing any
thing mean about Miss Ann Harding,
Gene Raymond, Wheeler and Woolsey,
Robert Taylor, Miss Jessie Matthews
and Dick Powell. The pleasure, 1
might aId, will not be exclusively
mine.
But the real answer to my rhetorical
question is that, despite its losses.
the theater is not moribund. There
will be fewer plays produced on Broad
way this year and the producers will
have more difficulty in casting them.
1t is difficult. however, to look upon
these two undeniable truths as un-
mitigated evils. One of the great
troubles with the stage, as with the
screen, is that it attempts to provide
too many offerings each season.
There just aren't enough good dramas
to go around when plays are offered
by the wholesale and the result is
that vast amount of trash which
never should have been exposed to
the cruel public gaze is tossed at the
unsuspecting heads of the theater-
goers.
This season the theater will be
more exclusive and the chances are
that the average will be much higher
than it was in the days when almost
anything could get produced. AS for
the difficulties of casting, it will in
some part be made up for hy the in
evitable audience pleasure in dis
covering new faces.
Evening star., 1936-08-09

In other words the public comes
to see its idols. not to see Mary OF
Scotland or Shanghai Kate or some
other legendary figure. If you
imagine this is not true, take look
at the theater Golfers when Robert
Taylor is in town in some such amiable
drool as Private Number" or Clark
Gable, Jean Harlow and Myrna 10y
pass their time in the banalities of
Wife VS.. Secretary"
Thus it must be granted that Mile.
Hepburn is a success in Mary of
Scotland" because she is in top form
as Katharine Hepburn. 1t also must
be said that she misses real greatness
because she is too Strident in voice
and action in the first portion of the
reel and because she does not en-
phasize clearly enough the contrast
between the gentle. affectionate, gra-
cious girl who came to rule Scotland
and the embitered, disillusioned and

4OL AOo ANoNAAAG
Certainly no actress could undertake
the impersonation of Mary, Queen of
the Scots, without realizing that she
was dealing with person who, like
Napoleon or George Washington or
Henry the Eighth, is fixed legend in
the minds of scores of persons-either
champions of her cause or violent de-
tractors of her character.
From a somewhat different angle,
the same thing is true of the man who
assumes the role of DE Lawd" in
Biblical fable like THE Green Pas
lures" He invites disaster, not by
anything that he may do, but by the
handsome possibilities that he will fail
to do enough to live up to the eXpecta-
tions of an audience that has strong
preconceived notions about the way
the performance should be handled.
Conceding that it would be impos-
sible for them to satisfy every one,
both Katharine Hepburn and Rex In
gram seem to have met the peculiar
requirements of their characterizations
in Mary and Pastures" respectively.
Yet it cannot be said that either of
them achieved perfection in the parts.
Miss Hepburn, for example, has
merely resorted to her ability to play
Katharine Hepburn skillfully, at
tractively and with great appeal, in
order to put across her MARY" At
times she is deeply moving in her
plight, yet that effectiveness is gained
by such habitual and well-known
mannerisms. infections and express
sions that it would be possible to
close ones eyes and believe that the
Scottish Queen had suddenly merged
with a small-town girl, seated in
porch swing in Alice Adams" or
mCdern enchantress in a Bill of
Divorcement." This is considered
legitimate technique in filmdom, for
all stars realize that their boX-office
power is dependent upon that in
definable asset called personality
and they well know that no matter
what the setting, the character or the
custume, the fans like to recognize
good old Kitty Hepburn or Carole
Lombard or whoever it is beneath

too, because last Thursday night

the average popular radio program

they already begun to fade?. Al
Jolson returned to the airwaveS
last Saturday night and was he
peeved to find out that he can't
plug any of the songs in his new
Warner Bros pictures. For the
very good reason that Warner
Bros. have withdrawn every song
in their vast catalogue-they num-
Der $4,000, and the output Of five
big musical firmS-from both the
Columbia and the N. B. c. net
works. The broadcasterS must
sign on Warner Bros terms or
lose such compositions as those Of
Victor Herbert among others. e.
Ray Noble finds that he cannot
play or sing his own theme song,
which he wrote, because it is in

logue.
