'SMILIN THRU AT LITTLE
HAS SHEARER AT BEST
Hit Film Now Revived Allowed
Actress to Be More Than
Mere Clothes Horse.

"SMLIN THRU which Sunday
came back to town to the Lit
tie Theater, still displays Miss Norma
Shearer at what probably is her very
best This may be due to the fact
that it is a great relief to see her
delivered from that usual fate as Mr..
Metro Goldwyn- Mayors pet clothes
horse and allowed to roam through
any number of reels clad in plain
suits and like garments, in which
she is far more attractive and like
able than when some pet designer is
given free rein with yards and yards
of something gay and fiimSy.
This excellent impression Miss
Shearer creates in "Smilin' Thru"
probably Is due also to the f,ct she
has been given role in this picture
that gives her some room to move
around. room to have and to por
tray intense feelings. TO love exubsr-
antly. But whatever it Is there is no
doubt that Miss Shearer took this
role in "Smilin' Thru" back in 1892
when the film was one of the 10
best Of the year. and when she also
MADE Strange Interlude" and "Pri-
vate Lives" and turned In a sincere
and sympathetic performance of
which she still can be proud.
There are. Of course. any number
Of other things which make this re-
vival at the Little a film you should
see if you missed it before. and should
see again. even though you saw it
four years ago. The story, by Jane
CoWl and Jane Murtin. still is a NOV
ing cinema drama which has even
strong men shedding a wary tear when
they're sure nobody can see them in
Il dark theater, telling its tale Of a
man whose life was blighted years
ago and Of the stony path in the way
OF young couples love.
Fredric March, who won the acad-
emy award the same year "Smilin'
Thru was made for his DIR. JakyH
and Mr.. Hyde" is present to play
opposite Miss Shearer and he has
done a fine piece of work Leslie How
ard also has a hand in the proceed
ingS-a much Surer hand after he
has grown old gracefully. "Smilin'
Thru" four years after it was made
still has a lot which should COM
mand your attention. H. M.

member of the various little theater
groups in Washington who profess
to love plays and good acting would
at least have come out Of curiosity
and interest in new and successful
play-if for no other reason. But
they didn't, and it isn't the first time
they've all stayed away either.
1T seemed TO me sad commentary
on something or other that. although
the house was packed upstairs and
down. saw only two members of
Washington theater groups (outside
of the members of the New Theater
Group, OF courSe).
Il saw no one from the Drama
Guild, or from the Columbia Players,
or from the Pierce Hall Players, or
from the Roadside Theater, or from
any other group in town. And look
ed long and thoroughly, thought.
Are there really so few people in
Washington theater groups that are
interested i'll good theater as an end
in itself, regardless OF who sponsors
it? Can't they admire good plav or
a good piece of acting from the stand
point of its artistic merit as a work
Of art Judged entirely apart from sub
ject matter that they may not entirely
agree with. or the personalities of the
people who produce the play? How
can people be intelligent or fair. or in
a position to compare or evaluate if
they look in only upon their own
group productions and never out upon
the rest of the worlds?
1T seems to me a narrow and pro-
yincial position 10 take and l cannot
see how a real little theater worthy
of the name can ever be developed
in Washington until more individuals
genuinely believe that the plays the
thing and good acting is the thing
regardless of the class, color, re-
ligion. political beliefs, or previous
condition of seIvitude of tho-e who
are producing the plays and doing
the acting?
The signature Is one we'll known
to local little theater groups. And
the lady in question is right--dead
right.
