Conducting Is Done
BY Conductors.

THE Hollywood habit Of casting &C.
tors as orchestra leaders in theater
sequences on the screen, was found
impractical in Grace Moore's latest
Columbia picture, "I'l Take Ro-
NANCE" which soon is to be released.
Such actors photograph well, but
usually lack the musical technique
necessary to look convincing on .
conductors podium.
As = result, Director Edward H.
Grif1th selected three actual and
well-known conductors to handle the
baton In Miss Moore's newest produc-
ton, and all three appear In the Law,
ish stage sequences leading q 125-
piece orchestra.
They are Genaro Curci, former
opera singer. voice coach, and brother
in-law of the great CALI Curci; Isaac
Van Grove, former conductor Of the
Chicago Grand Opera Company and
personal friend Of Miss Moore, and
Mischa Bakaleinikofi, composer con-
ductor.

provided her with greater comfort in
the world.
After this point is made, Anderson
tosses in the time machine and every
one in the cast becomes young again
and we see just how it all happened to
work out the way it did-and why 1t
always would work out that way. It is
very sweet, let us tell you.
Mr.. Anderson has peopled his play
with as pleasant q group Of characters
as you can find on Broadway this
season. The Minches, Stephen and
Martha (Which is something like
genius in naming characters), are q
completely winning couple. In their
aged sequences, they quarrel without
quarreling and when they are young,
they love without loving-two persons
possessed Of an alikeness that could
not have failed to bring them together
and keep them together. Meredith
and Miss Gish, she who was Opehlia
last year, play the parts with obvious
gratitude to Anderson for having Gre
ated them. (The parts, of course.)
Then there is Hanus Wicks, played
by Russell Collins. Hanus is a man Of
magnificent loyalty, not merely to his
friend Minch, but to his own high
standard of honesty, forthrightness
and truth. It would be q foul not to
like Hanus, confession of q serious
lack Of character and undoubtedly an
insult to Anderson. Mildred Natwick
turns in a nice performance in the role
OF choir mistress who spends her
time talking pretty fast 50 she won't
have time to think Of the wrong things
in this world. The others, ranging
from thugs to captains Of industry
chow Anderson can get all those
people together and make it plausible
is one of the marvels Of the age), are
played convincingly.
THE Star Wagon" is not great
drama, but it is good entertainment
and it is staged so clevely that you
don't feel at all silly when that time
machine starts buzzing and every one
is transported back to the days Of
youth.

Film Society
Shows Three
Relics
westerns" Treated
AS Program
Proceeds.

TINE Western" motion picture
was treated in most satisfy
ing fashion last evening at
4 the Rialto Theater, when the
second program in the series arranged
by the Film Society Of Washington
was presented. In the three offer
ings shown the contribution OF this
type of celluloid effort to the devel-
opment OF the American cinema was
demonstrated clearly. Panoramic
long shots" were necessary, Of course,
from the outset in order that the ex-
panse Of outdoor drama might be
projected. The alteration of such
long-range filming with close-ups fur
nished technical problem. The
problem was met, and motion pictures
progressed.
Produced in 1928, "The Covered
Wagon" was an "epic" of its cine
photographic period. To view it once
again, IA years later, is to laugh a
bit. dwell upon the development of
Hollywood art since, and yet withal
to recognize its merit even when TO-
days standards are considered. "The
Covered Wagon" was directed ably by
James Cruze, with fast mass action
views suffering little by comparison
with modern" efforts In the same
line. Names that have passed from
cast "frames"-J. Warren Kerrigan,
Lois Wilson, Charles Ogle, Tully Mar
shall. Johnny Fox, Guy Oliver. But
a face of some familiarity even to the
youngest generation of movie goers-
Alan Hale.
The other two features seen last
night were equally entertaining, equal
ly important in the march Of screen
art. "The Great Train Robbery"
starring "Broncho Billy" Anderson,
was filmed in 1865 Ano called the
first motion picture with q plot. The
picture is a very short one, to be
sure, but it packs more thrills in
proportion to footage than many a
modern blood-and- saga. "The
Last Card" 1911 release, was the
first OF the Westerns" as they are
known today-good men, bad men
and love. William S. Hart. longtime

Barrymore to Sing
In His Latest.

JOHN BARRYMORE'S singing voice
now has been recorded for the
screen for the first time. The song
will be used in scene in Paramounts
Romance in the Dark" in which
Barrymore is co-starred with Gladys
Swarthout and John Boles.
Barrymore was asked for q vocal
contribution by H. c. Potter, director
OF the picture. The actor volunteered
to sing piece from Faust. Potter
demurred. Barrymore retired to q
corner for five minutes, composed his
own music, and, returning. sang the
song. Miss Swarthout described his
voice as combination trombone
and base drum tremolo."

Maxwell Anderson. One is more dis
concerted than disappointed, however,
for "The Star Wagon" could never be
rated as disappointment.
Three good reasons for not dwelling
excessively on the shock of lionlike
Anderson turning lamb on this occa-
sion are Burgess Meredith, Lillian
Gish and Russell Collins. These three
players, plus production that lends
nice reality to the playwright's trick
OF. turning back the pages of time,
make THE Star Wagon" a completely
beguiling experience in the theater.
Without them and the artful staging
one suspects that Anderson's whim-
steal drama would be too far on the
nconsequential side to merit the fine
reception it has had. And undoubtedly

the spring that it never will get to
Washington this season. ct is at the
Empire, in case you want to put it
on your list of things to see in New

" to introduce Anderson in the guise
of the late Sir James Barrie, but offers
an even more startling version OF
Meredith.

Of the younger American actors ap-
pears in the beginning and end of
''The Star Wagon" as an elderly in
ventor. In the middle of the drama,
through the aegis Of one of his inven-
tions, kind Of H. G. Wells time ma
chine, every one in the cast goes back
to the days of his youth. The purpose
OF 1t all is not merely to show how old
people are made but to demonstrate
Anderson's thesis that if we had it all
to do over again, it would be precisely
the same.
The tale which adorns the plays
moral starts with discussion between
the elderly Minches (Mereoith and
Miss Gish) of how perhaps it would
have been better if each had married
some one else. Mr. Minch is a drab
little mouse whose inventions make
other people rich and his wife angry

China's appeal against japanese ag-

The appeal, saying Japan had in

China filed another communication
accusing Japan of violating all inter-
