Fear of autograph seekers is said to
be the reason the above-listed avoid
the cafes. But other stars. just as
celebrated, manage to find this nui-
sance no handicap to their restaurant
social life.
Leaders of Hollywood cafe society
are Marlene Dietrich, Kay Francis and
Constance Bennett.
When in Hollywood, La Dietrich
lives in hotels or rented houses, which
makes cafe eating and entertaining a
necessity. At least six out of seven
evenings find Marlene at the Troca-
dero, the Brown Derby, the Cock n
Bull, the Victor Hugo, or the Glover
Club. She is accompanied by any,
where from one to four men-the
latest list including Douglas Fairbanks,
jr.; the Earl Of Warwick, Eddie Could
ing, David Niven and Willis Goldbeck.

it's 10 dollars to l that Constance
Bennett will be sitting at the head.
Connie owns a magnificent mansion
in Beverly Hills, but its quietude gets
on her nerves. And, anyway, what's
the use of having one of the best ward
robes in Hollywood unless you show it
to the world via the cafes?
KAY FRANCIS prefers the public
party for 10 people, and about
twice week reserves q table at the
Cock n Bull and the Cafe Lamase.
The cafes most conscious of the new
social system are the Vendome and
the Trocadero-the former, for lunch
only, owns the edge in fine social rat
ing. The side tables near the door
are reserved for celebrities only. The
black social sheep (unknowns) are
given the choice of inconspicuous
booths at the far back or tables in
the bar The chosen include Pro-
ducers Walter Wanger, Mervyn lie

Priestley's
New Play
Praised
Time andConways'
Is a Moving
Tragedy.
By Richard Watts. v.

TT WAS with surprise. and even
slight touch of CONSERVATION, that
this reviewer found himself among
1 the few admirers of j. b.
Priestley's play, Time and the Con-
ways" when the first-night notices
were sorted out. In the first place,
the advance reports from London had
been so enthusiastic Now, it certainly
is not my belief that good reviews in
England mean good reviews in Amer
ica, or vice versa. It would require
even more naivete than this depart
ment possesses to overlook the strange
cultural war that seems to exist be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States. In truth, it has come to be that
the surest way for drama to bring
down denunciation upon its head in
New York Is for it to be praised ar
IDENTIFY in London, and that the most
likely object for a London critical
assault Is a great Manhattan success.
There are. however, happy exceptions
to the artistic belligerency between
what are referred to with decreasing
frequency as "the two great English
speaking nations" And certainly
Time and the Conways" sounded like
one Of them. One reason Is that it
was praised by James Agate, the
English critic most frequently right
about the London plays that New York
will like.
In addition, I had another reason for
anticipating that would be less en-
thusiastic about Time and the Con-
ways" than most of the local review
ers. They, had been led to believe,
are great admirers Of Mr. Priestley;
I am not. Perhaps my feeling is .
nationalistic prejudice based on an in
terview patronizing America in even
more than the usual fashion of the vis-
iting British novelist that was attrib-
uted to Mr.. Priestley about six years
ego and which he still hasn't denied
persuasively.' Anyway, it has long been
my belief that there was SNUG, con-
descending and contentedly dogmatic
quality in the man and his work which
can be found only in an author who, is
both an Englishman and q pipe -smok-
er. And since it Is my suspicion that
such and unappetizing quality tended
to interfere even more with the writing
Of play than Of . novel, was In
cHned to Be skeptical in advance about

more. There is a strong tie between
university and play house.
For all its modesty about its ar
tistic aims, the play house probably
provides as well balanced fare as any
theater in America-partly because it
runs hundreds of new plays through
play reading department Consisting
chiefly of voluble and enthusiastic
young chap named Stanley K. An
derson); partly because it keeps two
stages running and so can produce
twice as many shows as the usual
community theater.
Sitting in costs the patron very
little. Clevelanders buy regular sub
scriptions" for $40, good for II ad-
missions; matinee subscriptions at So
which include IL admissions.
The first home of the playhouse
was q wooden church which was re-
modelled into prim little .stucco
theater with wire fence around it
and a willing but ragged hedge along
the entrance walk,
The present playhouse has colored
an entire neighborhood. They even
call Eighty-sixth street "Drury lane"
partly because of London associa-
tlons, partly because the handsome
ll-year-old brick building stands
where once the Drurys had their
garden. The two theaters are named
Tor two millionaire supporters, Frances
+. Drury and Charles S. Brooks.
In the old days a week was about
the limit of a run. Now subscribers
alone keep the play running two weeks.
Few are closed under three weeks and
many run much longer.
One reason the theater, modest
though 1t be about expressing its
artistic and social aims, has done so
much for the good life" in Cleveland
Is that the company is as permanent
as theatrical company can be.
Mcconnell came in 1921 from teach
ing dramatics at Carnegie Tech,
bringing Lowe and Max Eisenstat
assistant DIRECTORY with him. This
trio is still in charge. Few staff
members have been in Cleveland under
five years, many longer.
The completeness and accessibility
OF the plant influence both the pro-
ductionS and the public Everything
done by permanent staff or the ap-
prentices is open to view and SUBJ
ject to criticism. Remoteness and
glamour" are not bothered about.
Since everybody mixes in the city's
life, many hundreds of people have q
direct contact with the theater, and
many thousands secondhand con-
nection. The interest thus aroused
Is practical and informed.

~ HE Cleveland Play House comes
pretty close to being a COM
munity theater without a
L 'torch-bearer complex"
The play house grew out of one Of
those little theaters. to be sure. But
Frederic Mcconnell, the director, de-
clares frankly that its chief aims are
to entertain Cleveland and live within
Its budget.
In his 16 years here Mcconnell has
produced 225 plays exclusive of re-
vivals. These range from Hamlet"
to "Merrily We Roll Along" and in
clude large percentage OF world
premieres" Out of the first four plays
this winter two were brand new.
For its play house money Cleveland
gets not one, but two theaters, operat-
Ing under one roof through 10 months.
Its gets children'S theater, the Cur
tain Pullers, with 500 participating
members. It gets school OF the
theater, in which there are no classes
whatever.
For this Mcconnell and K. Elmo
Lowe, his associate director, choose
after due testing about IS hopeful
young actors and actresses. These are
given, as it were, the keys of the thea
ter. They help read plays for cast
ing and decision; build sets; stir glue
and paint (scenery is painted with
glue and paint mixed; observe expert
enced players and practice the hints
picked up; act as stage crew; work
at lighting; read plays in the library;
exercise in the ballet room: practice
voice and piano-finally play parts in
actual productions.
The students gets no salary; they
pay no tuition. Some are from out
side the theater; Bennington College

UCILLE LIE SUER may have


Y UCILLE LIE SUER may have
been an appropriate name for a
redhead in the first line OF a
IL Broadway musical-but as the
chief means of identification for q girl
slated to be built to movie stardom It
was a bit too shimmering. That was
the reasoning of M.-G.-M. executives
13 years ago when Lucille lie Suer,
now Joan Crawford, reported in Holly
wood, fresh from the line Of big
Shubert show. And thus Hollywood
registered one Of its strangest cases
Of name changing.
Name changing Is as much q part
Of motion pictures as makeup. More
than half the established players have
had their names changed either before
or Just after they first faced camera.
Usually. the difference between pro-
fessional name and real one Is
brought about by the obvious desire to
achieve euphony, clarity or brevity.
But, to get back to the circumstances
of the Lucille lie Suer name change.
M.-G.-M. turned the matter over to
its publicity department which made
q tie-up with a national fan maga-
zine-in the form of contest through
which the person submitting q name
accepted by the studio would be treat
ed to trip to Hollywood. Thousands
and thousands of name ideas were
mailed into the magazines headquar-
ters.
Joan Arden was finally selected and
for two weeks Lucille lie Suer was
billed under that name. The studio
then discovered another actress In
Hollywood bore the same name and
was threatening q damage suit. Again
the studio went into . huddle-and
out Of the remaining designations
came Joan Crawford"
The fantastic system Of movie name
shufaing was really launched back in
1914, when the. william Fox Co., de-
Gliding to provoke q cycle of vampire
pictures, built a great myth around the
name Of its unknown personality,
Theda Bara.
