1t all began when Crabbe re-

Ind, youngster who wanted to
know how to swim by return mail.
Crabbe sat him down and began
writing it out in longhand.
A bright young advertising man
caught him at it, however, and
next thing Crabbe knew, the school
was organized to operate on heavy
stock, with fancy printing, glossy
cuts and picture plug-line.

Iago another. Every change Of
bills meant more roles for young
Calender, for Mantell believed
that every actor in his company
should know at least three roles
in every play in his repertoire.
Some of the plays -"Othello"
for one and "Richelieu" for an
other-could have been cast four
times out of the company-that
is, with Manteu always in the
stars role.
Calender says his biggest
laugh in recent years comes
whenever he sees the Bard
identified on the billboardS and
in the posters and newspaper

of his laughs the other day as
he read the dignified announce

Wandering Jew
At Little

At the beginning OF the sea-
son, the Little Theater an
nounced new policy Of bring
ing to Washington outstanding
films the major local screens
had seen fit to skip. It made a
nice phrase, but where were such
pictures to be found? If they
really were outstanding, why
had F Street passed them up?
The answer, in one instance,
at least, moved into the Little
yesterday. Conrad Veidt's 1.-THE
Wandering jew" which has
been beating its head against
the District Line in vain for two
years, is both outstanding and
excellent. In fact the only
fault that will be universally
supported is that it has no other
American-known names" ex-
cept Mr.. Veidt-who, to answer
the second question, has never
been an F Street idol.
Naturally, 1.-THE Wandering
Jew" will exert two appeals. To
the deeply religious or the com.
batative agnostic, it will be the
basis for some of the most in
tereSting pro and con discus
sions in years. To the casual
movie-goer, it will be an unusual
and-for the most part-highly
entertaining drama.
Adapted from E. Temple
Thurston's play, it is based upon
the legend of the Jew who spat
upon Christ as he carried the
cross to Calvary and was doomed
to live until Christ should re-
turn.
The picture divides the tale
into four phases" tracing the
Jew, Matthias through the years
first as the rich disbeliever in
Jerusalem the day of the Cruel
fixion, second as a naughty
knight in Antioch during the
First Crusade, third as a Thir-
tenth Century merchant in
Sicily and last as a physician
during the Spanish InquiSition
in Seville IN 1860.

well as adding to her laurelS

While the "black-outS" are up

is one for building theater good

owner of the Schoolfield, Va,
theater.
This is a factory town near
Danville, and Mr.. Lee has been
sending some 5000 of his steady
patrons a card of greeting on
their birthday, together with a
pass. He built up this list by
means of a bank night" regis
tration and is constantly adding
tn it. 1t struck me as a swell
way to build friends for his
theater.
Not that you will care, but
there is not an Irishman in
Dublin, Va, so I am told, nor a
Russian in Moscow, Va.
And by way of a little farm
and biological information. A
hog raiser told me this. When lit
tiers of pigs are born, each newly
born selects nipple, and uses
that one exclusively until such a
time as he starts roofing for
himself. In the event, and it
sometimes happens, that the
number of newly born exceed the
number of nipples, the excess
fellow is out of luck, so he must
be reared on a nursing bottle,
which was what was happening
when this story was told me.
Don't ask me to prove this,
Andrew, I only sell film.
