Hepburn Here
Next Week

With Katharine Hepburn re-
turning to the stage to play the
title role in Helen Jerome'S
dr. a m a tization Of Charlotte
Bronte'S great novel, "Jane Eyre"
the Theater Guild will present its
latest production at the National
Theater for one week beginning
Monday evening, March %.
The International success Of
Helen Jerome with her stage
version Of Jane Austen's story,
Pride and Prejudice" placed her
dramatization Of an even more
famous novel, Jane Eyre" on the
stages of Birmingham, the NAL
vern Festival and the Queens
Theater in London and now Of
America. The play, devised in
many scenes, begins at Thornfield
Hall with the strange interview
between the heroine, Jane, and
the hero, Mr.. Rochester. Miss
Jerome then proceeds to develop
and concentrate the drama upon
the ardent love story which has
fascinated readers for almost a
hundred years.
Regarded in its day as a novel
of revolt because of the glowingly
expressed feelings and daring in
dependence of the heroine, the
story attracted Miss Hepburn as
offering her the very role in which
she wished to mark her reappear-
ance on the speaking stage. Her
triumphs with other heroineS of
fiction and history in motion pic
lures encourage the expectation
that her dynamic qualities as an
actress are those needed on the
stage for the part of Jane Eyre,
who has been said to glow with
an inner flame"
The play was staged by Worth
ington Miner and the Victorian
costumes and settings designed by
Lee Simonson. For the part of
Mr.. Rochester the Theater Guild
secured Dennis Hoey, an actor
prominent both on the London
stage and in European films. The
supporting cast includes Tom Pow
ers, Viola Roache, Philippa Bev-
ans, Marga Ann Deighton, Patricia
Peardon, Irving Morrow, Doris
Dalton, Teresa Dale, Teresa Guer-
ini, Wilfrid Seagram, Boyd Davis,
Katharine Stewart, Wallace Wild.

King Of Kings
For Riolto

1.-THE King Of Kings" Cecil B.
DeMille's masterful motion pic
ture portrayal of thc Passion, and
the film generally regarded as the
supreme achievement Of the era OF
the silent picture, will be brought
back to the Rialto Theater for the
week opened today.
The filyn is intact, and Is now
augmented by specially composed
and synchronized musical score.
This engagement will mark the
first time THE King Of Kings
has played in Washington at popu.
lar prices. It was shown as a road
show in the spring Of 1928, a full
year after it was released and
after it had played months on end
in New York, Chicago, and other
major cities.
Probably the reason why it
was never shown subsequently Is
that Just a few months prior, the
first all.talking picture was made,
and even the greatest silents were
forgotten.
Ever since the management OF
the Rialto and Little theaterS in
itiated thu policy of revivals, re-
quests have poured in for the
return Of some Of the famous silent
pictures. This is the first one to
be located and found to be In
perfect condition.
In the cast of King of Kings"
are many of the premiere actors
of a decade ago. H. B. Warner
is seen as Christ, Rudolph Schild'
kraut, Joseph Schildkraut, JAG
queline Logan, Kathryn Cumming
Robert Edeson are all cast in the
major roles. Literally thousands
appear in the picture. DeMille, con
sidered a genius at handling enor
nous crowds before the camera
did his finest work in "The King
of Kings"

takes to writ successfully for the
stage.
OF these 12,O00-odd scripts only
100 were found to have any plots
or themes worthy of production.
Most of them dealt, in crude and
amateurish way, with social prob
lens.
It makes one wonder how many
there are who feel they could
write for the screen. There must
be millions. Not to be blamed are
those who after watching some of

better screen fiction. At least,
they are sure they couldn't turn

Edward Seltzer Of Warner Bros.
seems to have started a studio
campaign to have Bette Davis
nominated as Americas first
screen actress. Meaning American
born. His wire reads:
In recent article Phillip Schuer
of Los Angeles commenting upon
the performance of Bette Davis in
Marked Woman" said:
Bette Davis most certainly
by now stands as Americas first
screen actress for GarbO is a
Swede, Rainer and Bergner,
Viennese, and Helen Hayes is lost
to the screen. Who else? Holly

who is regarded by nations crit
les as best American born
dramatic actress and we are wiz
ing you as one of several hun
dred important editors if you
agree with Schuer on Bette
Davis. Please wire collect, War
ner Bros. studio"
I don't agree with Mr.. Schuer
and so no Davis vote. I think
Irene Dunno, for one, is an in
finitely better actress, with Myrna
Loy Gladys George and Katharine
Hepburn ahead of his nominee. I
don't blame Eddie Seltzer for try
ing, and how does Bette stand on
the Supreme Court issue?
