saying frightfully funny things about
the art and its practitioners.
The satirist came pretty late to the
ballet, perhaps, but they have made
something extremely amusing Of it.
MEN and women walking from the
Spring of life into its Summer
should find the love story Of the play
"Parnell' particularly to their fancy.
The drama, opening tomorrow night at
the BelaSco, is rated highly among the
current romance pieces and it deals
with Parnell and Katie O'Shea when
he was "a and she was 35. With one
exception of more recent date, the
love of these two is rated as the near
est thing to a modern Tristan and
Isolde"
Leona Powers, stock favorite in
Washington for several seasons, plays
the role of Katie. Albert Van Decker
is Parnell, the man whose being was
for so many years a battlefield be-
tween love and duty before the latter
won.
WASHINGTON may yet see Brother
w Rat" that madly merry drama
built around life at Virginia Military
Institute. George Abbott, who already
has two companies playing it, now is
forming a third to play the South.
That would be Washington to some
extent (about a week. If space can be
found before Summer descends.
WHEN you see Lost Horizon some
w day you probably will find some
thing to reflect upon in the circum-
stance that Columbia spent 100000
filming the story which James Hilton
once wrote in six weeks in order to
pay off some pressing debts. 1t makes
bill collectors look like hand maidens
of the arts instead Of the f1ends they
always have been painted.
"STORM OVER PATSY" walks
- gingerly into New York this week
with the Theater Guild hoping for the
best from the public if not expecting
it, quite. from the critics. Some weeks
hence, box-office totals may tell a
story Of whether an entertaining play
is enough, or whether it must be well
written in the bargain.
Earlier in the season Storm Over
Patsy would have found less stern
opposition on Broadway. In the past
six weeks, however, after dull OPEN
ing, New York has seen good plays
spring up on all sides. Either that
or the critics just got bored with
their own distempers.

stage those days that wouldn't even
be considered now and, heaven knows,
the standard isn't matter Of per-
lection even at the moment. It can
hardly be denied that among the
reasons for the decrease in the number
of plays produced annually are to be
found such things as the absence Of
good scripts and the difficulties of
proper casting. but, on the whole, the
limitation is decidedly for the best. I
would remind you that one cause Of
this limitation Of scripts-is that a lot
Of bad playwrights are now doing all
right for themselves in Hollywood.

sons hiding behind every bush in the
United States waiting for an oppor-
tunity to see themselves put damag-
ingly into films. There are such per
sons Hollywood. taking SO much OF
its story material from life and the
daily newspapers, met so many Of
them in lawyers Offices that it adopted
that foreword as its only safeguard.
The stage may have to do the same
thing If individuals do not stop think
ing they are looking into mirrors every
time the curtain goes up. Or, if not
into mirrors, through the windows of
someone, elseS home. No field of ex-
preston, it seems, is free from resem-
blance recognizers.
In the case of "On Your ToeS," /"
which opens tomorrow night at the
National. the piece is supposed TO be
full of characters taken straight from
life. Taken from it, too, not for pur-
poses of glorification, but rather as
targets for satirical barbs. MessrS.
Rodgers, Hart and Abbott have de-
voted a large part of their undeniable
eloquence to denying accusations OF
the kind. 1t was not that they feared,
or faced, legal action. The persons
they are supposed to lampoon would
not sue. 1t simply minimizes the force
of the creative instinct to admit such
charges in cases of this kind.
Therefore. if any one sees resem-
blance to George Gershwyn IN the
character of Sidney Cohn, to the
Rooneys in the DolmanS, or to Irving
Berlin anywhere in the production, it
may be right and proper deduction,
but its accuracy will be denied
THE one thing that ''On Your Toes"
does satirize with an ebuillient
Eest is the ballet. The most fluid of
the arts, the ballet, is regarded by the
creators of "On Your Toes" as one Of
the most unbending in its attitude.
They have set out to twist it into
something laughable. Ten uproarious
months on Broadway testify to a
modicum Of success.

WHEN Ready, Willing and Able"
w is unreeled Friday as the Earle's
screen attraction, the late Ross Alex
ander will be one of the films most
conspicuous figures. There will be
nothing about Ross Alexander in the
billing, however. Alexander has not
been mentioned in connection with
the film since his tragic death, by his
own hand, shortly after its completion.
The brilliant but eccentric young
ster who was to have been co-starred
with Ruby Keeler presented Warner
Bros. with a more acute problem in
death than he ever had in life. As
mentioned here several weeks ago, the
producers were left with a genuine
dilemma when Alexander died. They
did not know whether to retake those
portions of the film in which he ap-
pears at an additional cost of 500, 900.
to diminish his position in the billing
to the vanishing point, or just to delay
offering it to the public until it had
had an opportunity to forget.
PoSthumouS screen work is far from
a novelty. In Alexander's case it had
the odd facet that his death was not
a natural one. Warner Bros. are Of
the opinion that by reducing Alexan-
der's significance in the billing and
by delaying the picture they have
found the answer to the situation. A
half million dollar investment in the
picture is involved in the final deter
mination of the wisdom of their course
in releasing it, after some delay. with
Alexander's part so conspicuolsly re-
duced in the billing.

Of so many pictures to start as class

end of the alphabet.
"Cloistered," if you have not read
about it or heard of it, is one of
those documentary films. 1t deals
with the heretofore uninvaded pre-
cincts of convent. With a fidelity
that has impressed all critics privi-
legged to see it-and which in all
honesty, has been quite disturbing to
some-it narrates what goes on be-
hind those mysterious walls which
have piqued the curiosity of so many
generations.
With the full consent of the Roman
Catholic Church, and without the
knowledge of those who are its hero
ines, the film deals with every detail
Of the instruction of those who would
be nuns. 1t is not designed, pro-
ducers and exhibitors alike point out,

picture where, otherwise, shorter
time would have sufficed.

hibition. AS it made the rounds Of
