Bergner at the Little
In" "As You Like It,"

WHEN we first saw "As You Like
It," the thoroughly enjoyable
film version Of Shakespeare's play,
there was just one thing that irritated
us-Director Paul Czinner's penchant
for opening a scene with his camera
focused upon the tree tops, then diving
down through the leaves to come upon
the action below in the woods. Now
that the picture has COME back to the
Little Theater for revival, the
reason for Mr.. Czinner's technique
suddenly has dawned. "As You Like
1t" is rich comedy, full of rare wit,
If you don't mind little dissection
OF the obvious, but it's a complete
fantasy; the sort of thing the boys
and girls in the audience don't have
to associate themselves with to enjoy,
but can look upon from the outside in
complete happiness And Czinner's s
@. unusual handling Of the camera was
an effective contribution to the proper
mood, definite assistance to the
feeling you are peeking in upon a bit
OF charming make-believe.
: Devotees of Shakespeare should be
delighted with this screen transcript
ton Of las You Like It." Scenically
1t is completely attractive and the
adaptation of the script has been SO
reverent you almost feel at some times
that the director just picked up a
copy of Shakespeare's works, turned
to "As You Like 1t" and went to work.
The bard himself couldn't have picked
. more delightful and enchanting
Rosalind than is Elisabeth Bergner,
and II he were to walk in the door
now and say he could, he'd have an
argument on his hahds. 1t is a role
that grants her every opportunity
to be zestfully gay and bewitchingly
CANINE and she is that as only she
can be. And there's no violinist more
OF virtuoso with his Stradivarius
than is Miss Bergner with her voice.
LAS You Like It" is something to be
seen. H. M.

"Peanuts" BOhn

ONE Of the smallest and one Of
the funniest comedians to appear
on the Gayety stage returns to Col
Lakes house this week. He Is Charles
peanuts" Bohn. Bohn Is possessed
of particularly mirth-provoking per-
sonality and does not miss flre in
any Of his scenes. In addition, the
diminutive one contributes bit of
cartooning., Further comedy is pro-
vided by the team of Nellie Clarke
and Tommy Hanlon, with the fem
inine member being an adept comedi-
enne, a rarity on the circuit.
Jerri McCauley gets the honor OF
a second weeks engagement, and
with reason. Miss McCauley sings
and dances in manner that the
customers always have liked. On the
feminine side. too, are Mildred Jordan
and Marty Wayne, presenting inter-
esting dance numbers, and Kenza
Vinton and Dolores lie Land, who
render capable aid to the funsters in
several sketches. Bebe Sherman,
''burlesque's Sophie Tucker" lives up
to her designation, and her husky
voiced singing was appreciated at
yesterdays matinee.
"Foot-Loose Parade" which would
be the title of the production, also
carries Bill Crook, an able vocalist,
and Johnny Cook, whose straight:
ing" adds to the punch of Bohn'3
appearances. Jimmy Lake has been
served one OF the better shows being
sold by the Hirst Amusement Co.,
but there is one weak spot. The
chorus, sad to relate. has fallen
short Of mastering the routines de-
vised by Producer Frank Bryant.

merit, two artificial lives which the
Lunts can fuse before the eyes of an
audience into something delightful,
miraculous, or almost any other happy
adjective.
They did it first in "The Guards
man." and they followed 1t up in
II other plays through Idiots De-
light"
"Amphitryon 80" gives them the
same kind of opportunity to support
and supplement each other in an
exhilerating theatrical experience.
Exhilerating not merely for the Lunts
but for every one else!
In playing it they are endowing with
new life a dramatic creation that is
rs centuries old in point Of time and
as young, vital and ecstatic in spirit
as college sophomore. The locale
and the dress Of the piece will be
ancient Greece, but the essential idea
and dialogue will be as fresh as
tomorrow afternoon.
1t is difficult to think of any other
actress and actor playing Jupiter and
Alkmena. After seeing the Lunts
play the parts. 1t probably will be
impossible to think of any one else
playing them.
1t is another one OF those reflections
which brings up a question, or which
there already are too many un-
answered ones in this column.
A MOTHER stage couple getting
along very nicely both privately
and professionally will be playing dur
ing the week Of the Lunts' engagement
at the National. They are Dorothy
Stone, daughter OF the famous Fred,
and Charles Collins. They will head
line the Capitol's vaudeville bill in a
singing and dancing number.

Why should it be? Why should the
Lunts be beyond the grasp of the gods
of failure? Why should they be diff
ferent from John Gielgud who can
go from magnificent Hamlet" to a
crashing flop in England in modern
play? Or the inspired combination
of Maxwell Anderson and Burgess
Meredith, playwright and player. who
climb down from the heights of High
Tor" last year to the more pedestrian
place $50 It's rumored) of The Star
Wagon?"
Inspiration turns something less
than divine in the case Of apparently
every one associated with the theater,
but neither it (nor audiences) ever
desert the Lunts. We are not pro-
testing that they should be selected as
fortunes favorites. It merely seems
to be something about which to
wonderland be glad.

THE Lunts' inability to do things
badly is not limited to their pro-
fessional careers. When they take
up the prosaic work of growing vege-
tables and herbs in Wisconsin (and
1t Is prosaic even though they do
invest 1t with a special glamour), the
vegetables and herbs are sort of super
special things produced by Nature
In collaboration with the Lunts.

sacrificial souls, and virtual i'm

wrought a comparative miracle. Their
marriage not only has endured, but
1t has been superlatively happy one
through an interval long enough for
the average artist to have amassed
four or five trips from the altar to
Reno.
One can hazard the guess that the
spirit which has made the Lunts such
a success in unrelated fields Is &C.
countable, too, for their success in the
theater. They have played together

with The Guardsman" Each of their

of inflammation of the joints in which 1t is difficult to determine the presence Of any germ.
 Sometimes when a child suffers with scarlet fever or some Of the other ordinary infectious diseases, there will be inflammations of the joints that last just week or so with some pain. Sometimes ln ty- phoid fever there may be inf1am- nation of the joints.
 In people who are sensitive to various foods or protein substances. the reaction may be associated with an inflammation of the joints.
 These types of acute inf1amma- tion are not, however, the same as chronic Inflammation of the joints commonly called chronic arthritis or rheumatism. When arthritis is due to an in- lection of the joints by the germ that cause gonorrhea after it has already caused the venereal dis case, the condition must be taken care of and treated according to the particular type of germ as well as with all of the usual treatment for joint inflammation. This ap- plies to pneumonia and to menin- gitiS.
 In the kind of inflammation of the joints that is known as rheu- matoid arthritis, there is a series of symptoms which are definite and which are not related to other types of inflammation. Very frequently this type of rheu- matism begins with swelling of the middle fingers of each hand. The swellings do not persist, but come and go. There may also be inf1am- l nations of the wrist and of the toes.
 Sometimes the condition contin- ues to get worse, but in other cases it stops and does not make much progress. If it does progress, the infiammations move upward so that later the wrist, the elbows and shoulders, and eventually the spine may be infected.
 In this case of arthritis it is not infrequent to find somewhere in the body focus of infection, usually in the tonsils and in the teeth, but sometimes also in the prostate ir man, in the appendix, gallbladdel or Sinuses.
 It is, therefore. highly desirable in every case of this kind to have diagnosis made as soon as possi- ble and then to treat the condition actively to preventsits advancement
