"'Arrowsmith" Back
In Revival at Little.

T TITLE THEATER audiences are
people who like their movie fare
constructed upon strong bedrock, with
story. direction and acting on . plane
Of high quality and they are people
who do not approve of some of the Or
dinsry Hollywood product that drags
customers to other box Offices merely
because 1t Is glossy and fast. That is
why Ronald Colman Is one OF the
favorites OF this Little Theater audi
ence. Mr.. Colman, whether he Is
Capt. Bulldog Drummond or the Rob-
ert Conway Of Lost Horizon" is a
fellow upon whom you can depend to
turn In smooth, intelligent and
completely believeable performance.
Mr.. Colman is back at the Little
Theater this week in one Of the splen-
did characterizations that was one
OF the milestones of his cinema career
back in 1882, the intense young scien-
tist Of "Arrowsmith." Mr. Colman won
much praise for his portrayal Of the
doctor who left a safe and sane hos
pital post to go OF in the wilds to get
In the midst Of battle against bu-
bonic plague and who in the end, after
he had won the battle and lost his
wife, turned his back on another at
tractive Job to fight the wars Of SCI
ence. And the film version. adapted
by Sidney Howard. Of Sinclair Lewis
novel was selected as one Of the 10
best Aims Of its year.
This honor, of course, Is not all due
to Mr.. Colman's work. Mr.. Lewis
story had something to do with 1t. So
did Mr.. Howards adaptation, and Mr..
Samuel Goldwyn's guiding hand over
the production, and John Ford's di-
rection. And, last but by far not least
ii you can stand another cliche on a
Monday, the drama of "Arrowsmith"
is heightened considerably and pointed

rights. It simply had to like the
Abbott play tremendously to dig down
that deeply for it, and it would be
funny if nothing remained in the
screeneversion but the title and the
Marxes. 1t would be funny in more
ways than one, we mean.
The whole thing is on the lap of
the gods. And the Marx brothers are
on the lap of R-K-O. And Room
Service" is on the lap of the Marx
brothers. 1t all seems to be a very
interesting situation. especially for a
Monday.
YOUNG men Shaving away in gar
rets trying to make typewriters
do the tricks which Maxwell Ander-
son can make typewriter do should
find inspiration in Benn Levy. Mr..
Levy's success should be encouraging.
first Of all in that it was achieved
without anything resembling having
the right connections. The young
British playwright who adapted
Madame Bovary" from the French
admits that he did not even know a
chorus girl when he decided to make
writing for the theater his career
He was an oxford man. it is true, and
all Oxford men are supposed to have
friends on the stage cat least in
novels. But Mr.. Levy was an ex-
ception.
However. he did know how to
write, which seems to be the more or
less important thing about creating
plays out of ideas. And, 10 be sure,
Mr.. Levy had ideas.
His first one was incorporated in a
bright comedy, This Woman Busi-
ness" just IL years ago when the
author was fresh from Oxford. In that
play Mr.. Levy considered, in quite
amusing terms, what Elmer Kenyon
calls "the more popular of the two
sexes" 1t set the right tongues wag-
ging and after that it did not make
any difference that Mr.. Levy started
from scratch so far as the right con-
nections we're concerned.
Since then he has written several
other plays and has taken up direction
as an interesting sideline. He is
known as one of the most painstaking
(and pleasure giving) younger men in
the English theater.

In common and for all OF M-G-M'S
versatility that companys association
with the MarXes always smacked of
fnisalliance. The brothers are daffy,
lunatic, mad-and you can't call
M-G-M any of those things. Maybe
you can't call R-K-O any of those
things either, but the main street
intersection on that company lot in
Hollywood is labeled Broadway and
Forty-second street. And Cliff Reid
and Eddie Melcher. not to mention
Burgess Meredith and other people
like that are employed by the studio.
There's a spirit about the place that
exists nowhere else in Hollywood, an
elfln thing that is just the diet for
any one suffering from a too serious
slant on life. The Marx brothers ought
to make it even more pronounced.
Another thing they have in common
with so many people at R-K-O is a
great love for horses. One of the most
difficult things about handling the
Marx brothers is that they always
want to go to the races. M-G-M
always would rather have them stay at
the studio and work They never
quaReled about it, but the situation
reflected difference in attitude.
Maybe now when Groucho, Harpo and
Chico want to go to the races here
after. every one at the studio will
drop whatever he is doing and have a
horse party at Santa Anita. (But
we'll bet 100 to they won't)
X \ X
THE Room Service" angle of
R-K-O's proud announcement is
that they had been signed. There
were rumors several months ago that
this mad drama and the madcap
Marxes might be merged. A great
many admirers of both the play and
the brothers raised ouizzical eyebrow
at that report. 1t has not been the way
of the Marxes to take already prepared
fare and serve it to the public
They always have rolled their own
gags and some persons cannot see
them taking over some one else's Gre
alton and leaving anything of the
original intact. 1t never has been
done before. but then it never has
been Monday. october 4, 1887, until
today either.
1t seems certain that R-K-O will try
to save Room Service" in its original
guise. Although We never saw the
check, or counted the money out in
dimes, it is reported reliably that the

While engaged upon the many tasks

Wolfson's Excursion" which 1t is
going to do at the Wardman Park
Theater. starting October 20. The
production at one point calls for a
quartet to chant, Rise ye members
of starvation, rise ye whatever is called
upon to rise next, and so forth" But
the Civic Theater could find no one
who knew the tune of The Interna-
tionale!"
The cast was polled, but all of the
civic comrades looked blank. Finally
one fellow volunteered. The quartet
was taught the tune, bat it didn't fit
the words or something, so the fellow
decided maybe he wasn't thinking Of
The Interna tionale" after all. Things
looked pretty black for the Civic The
ater and the members of starvation.
Then somebody got bright idea. They
would ask Uncle Sam.
And if you have been thinking your
Uncle Samuel would not be the lad
to call upon under those circum-
stances, rise ye now and learn how
wrong you are. Or better still, just
sit quietly while you learn who in
Washington can tell you how to sing

stonal Libary's music division was
called, pleasantly said sure" and
promptly g. messenger was dispatched
from those hallowed precincts to ride
post haste to the Washington Civic
Theater with photostatic copy Of
1.-THE Internationale.
The Civic Theater learned two
things about the song. First, that
the title is THE International Party"
and second that it has a nice tune.
Might be good idea for Barnee out
at the Shoreham or Artie Humes, who
arranges for Pete Macias' Heigh Ho
orchestra, to set it to dance tempo.
1t would serve somebody right, we
don't know whom if Washingtons S
society lads and lassies, the very back
bone of our capitalistic state, suddenly
broke out in a rash of big appling
ughtheartedly to THE Internationale. u
And right on top of that comes
another sign Of the times, perhaps even
more momentous. In fact it is so
subtly significant of something OF
other that we cannot possibly fathom
1t without considerable time and
thought; all we can do is pass it on.
