June 2e for a special engagement
of "Cloistered."
"Cloistered" was made by French
Pathe with tacit approval Of the
Vatican. 1t pictures for the first
time life within the convent walls
with actual scenes taken in the
Paris House Of the Good Shepherd.
It mirrors the daily routine Of
the nuns with the rituahstic cere-
monies carried out in chronolog.
ical sequence. Reverential and dig
nified, "CloiStered" has the full
support of Vincent de Paul Fitz-
patrick, militant editor Of the Bal
timore Catholic Review.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick has been WELD
ing a vigorous censorial bludgeon
over stage shows in Baltimore and
has whacked Loew'S Inc. over the
knuckles quite a few times becaute
Of footlight displays which reused
his ire. In this case Manager Bill
Saxton and Editor Fitzpatrick are
working together for a better box
office.
On how "Cloistered' is received
in Baltimore will depend whether
it gets a Washington showing.
CAGNEY'S 100000
There is talk that Jimmy Gag
ney on his recent visit East closed
for the capital to make his own
productions. There is also talk
that Mr.. Cagney will go abroad
and make movie in England, by
which time his legal difficulties
with Warner Bros. will be def
initely settled.
Since he walked out on his
$4,000 a week contract with
Warner Bros. last November, Gag
ney has been idle. Before the dis
pute is adjudicated he will have
sacrificed in the vicinity OF
100000 fighting for what he con-
siderS a principle.

Ted Lewis as he leaped from his
taxi chariot at the Shoreham
Saturday night after doing five
shows at the Earle.
Everybody was except the
Shoreham's ornate doorman who
tried to serve as referee when
two of WaShington'S. Socialites
stepped outside and began to
settle a ballroom grievance di-
rectly at the main entrance.
It was one of those things that
happen at the Trocadoro and
Hollywood'S Brown Derby and
find their way into the headlines
ever so often. Except in this case
it involved grown-ups who should |
know better. mage: Dirty |
clothes and a couple of sinners. |
Not to mention the doorman'S |
bruised feelings
But to get back to Mr.. Ted
Lewis. He is playing the Earle |
this week at $500. Last time |
he played the Fox he was paid |
$500. His agent asked Loew's |
Inc, for $1,000 raise. Nothing

the business of the week.

That eminent character actor
who has been acclaimed every
where for his magnificent charac-
terization in and as The Country
Doctor" has received a letter
from DR.. Marjorie NeSbit, secre-
tary of the Rogers Park Hospital
in Chicago, advising him that a
committee of medical men is being
formed to get well-known uni
verSity to confer upon HerSholt
an honorary degree in medicine.
AS great as was Hersholt's en-
actment of Doctor Dafoe, critics
maintain that his work in "SinS of
Man" the drama to be shown at
Loew's Fox next Friday, is even
more superb and one that will
win him still many more followers.
"sins of Man" is likened to an
other "Humoresque," another
"Sorrel and Son." another Stella
Dellas." The film is vibrant with
drama.
Supporting HerSholt is an i'm
posing cast, chief member of which
is handsome Don Ameche, who

in the Capital City is progressing
upwards by leaps and bounds and

more than 1000 subscribers for
the 1936-1937 season of six plays
at the National Theater-and
this without even an announce
ment of the names of the plays
to be presented.
This evidence Of lively interest
in the stage is the result in large
measure due to the fine series OF
plays offered last season by the
Theater Guild and American The
alter Society, which included Max
we'll Anderson'S "Winterset," Rob-
ert Emmett Sherwood's idiots
Delight" Dodie Smiths call 1t

rich in plays Of Importance in
the American theater.
New subscribers are now wei

reservations for old subscriptions
being at an end since June 3.

for all kinds Of interesting posi-
