First Lady" |:
Returning

That glamorous star, Jane Cowl,
will return to the National The.
ater for one weeks engagement,
April 26 in her brilliant New York
hit, "First Lady," which ran all
last season at the Music Box
Theater on Broadway. This Sam
H. Harris attraction promises to
be one of the outstanding theatre
cal events of the season, and In
tereSt in its coming is manifested
by the countless inquiries and
reservations already received. e.
Jane Cowl is said to have
achieved the greatest triumph Of
her career in the role of the
scheming Washington hostess am
bilious to put a man in the White
House. Theatergoers who jump
at the conclusion that the title,
First Lady," refers to the wife Of
the President are entirely wrong.
The character played by Miss
Cowl is the wife of the secretary
of state, and is simply the first
lady" in the sense that she seeks
to be the leader Of society and a
sort of under cover" president
maker. The plot of the play Is
concerned with a bitter fight for
supremacy which she wages with
an almost equally fascinating rival,
played by Ann Mason. There are
IS characters involved in the
story, the scenes of which are all
laid in Washington. ''First Lady"
was written by Katharine Dayton
and George S. Kaufman. ,s

Final Days Of
"Good Earth"

Metro oldWyn-Mayer's picturl-
zation of the Pearl Buck novel,
"The Good Earth" enters into its
third capacity week showing at
the National. This film, which
has been afectionately dedicated
to the late Irving Thalberg, stars
Luise Rainer and Paul Mini.
BY the very straightforward and
sincere manner in which the work
has been presented does the mo-
ton picture make its appeal. Sgd
ney Franklin who is the one re-
sponsible for the direction has
caught the mood of poetic and
flowery effuSiveness.
For her work as OLan the faith
full wife of Wang, Miss Rainer
should certainly earn herself an
other citation. This part stands
as her best piece of acting since
her arrival in this country. And
it is definitely the one part in the
picture that holds your undivided
attention.
The book has suffered few al
terations and those who thrilled
to the various moments of local
color and excitement will find
them all and more in the film.
One of the more spectacular cpl
sodes is the descending OF the
plague of noisy locusts.
Paul MUM as Wang Lung, sim
pie peasant farmer, does a thor
oughly creditable piece Of acting.
However, in his earlier scenes, he
proved more effective by the way
in which he expressed the disarm.
ing naivete of the parts simplicity.
He lost this, unfortunately, as the
film progressed.
It's your everyday success story
of the ambitious young business
man who, having started from
mere scratch, manages to win
respect and renown as he grows
older and more successful. 1t was
only natural that Wang would out
grow the quiet steadfastness OF
o Ian. That is the tragic pity so
often encountered in all such situ'
ations.
Others who contribute to the
films enjoyment are Tilly Losch,
Charles Grapewin, Walter Con
molly, Jessie Ralph and Keye Luke
The photography. too, has been
very well handled, so as to offer
some scenes of fairly breathless
beauty. THE Good Earth" teaches
the lesson of the essential finenesS
of work. Good work.

Gayety bill this week is outstand-

Then there is Zorita, a strik-

say nothing of the superbly formed
young lady from the chorus who
stages a tap dance good enough
for any stage anywhere.
Nadia appears in two numbers,
