lind the Claudette Colbert your fresher

gagged in the dramatic business of
Limitation Of Life" the film version of
the Fannie Hurst novel, which now
has turned up as the weeks revival
at the Little Theater.
Miss Colbert has her moments Of
eayety, Of course. but she gets along
equally we'll with the heavier mo-
ments of story that is something
81 tear 1erker. In fact. she does a
mighty-near splendid job with her
characterization of young woman
who has to meet life on her own
and whose problems include daugh-
ter who falls in love with mama's boy
friend.
The story, as you probably remem-
Der, also involves the relationship be-
tween Miss Colbert, the business
woman, and her maid and silent part
ner, Louise Beavers. which began
when both were younger but on their
uppers. Miss Beavers has also a
problem, daughter who would refute
her race and the difficulties faced by
these two women against the world

"Black and White
Revue" at Gayety.

ZONES now to the Gayety Theater
one Of the gayest and most en-
thusiastic items the Ninth street opera
house has played host to this season,
Cooper's BLACK and White Revue"
Comedy plays q big part in the
white portion Of the show, contributed
ably by Jack Greenman and Steve
Mills, who are aided In their fun
making by John Grant, who has long
been one Of the better straight men
to help comics get their gags across
the Gayety footlights, and Viola
Spaeth, also a performer who knows
her business. The distaff side is repre-
sented by Dorothy Maye, dark-haired,
dark-eyed lass who is one Of the
favorites with local audiences. and
by Vickie McNeely, to whom falls the
major part Of the singing chore.
The other half of the bill is pretty
well filled with fast movement in songs,
dances and comedy. Standing out are
the Six Lindy Hoppers, whose en-
thusiastic ebandon would be the high
point in anybodys show. Lass named
Valda is on hand, too, to do some
torrid dances. And there are girls
and songs and dances and laughs and
it all adds up to considerable fun.

since. what with wondering who is
going to be the first to up and sock
one of your own drama staff.
Well, boss, to tell you the truth, we
don't think you need to worry After
looking into the matter from all angles
(you know where self-preservation
stands among natures laws), We
think things are going to be all right.
The local problem IF managers,
producers, directors, playwrights, ac-
tors, press agents, stage hands, etc,
VS.. the critics is not the same as New
Yorks. The set-up is fundamentally
different. happily designed to protect
any Of those fellows from breaking
their knuckles. You see the natural
enemies of New York critics are not
natural enemies of ours. That's pri-
marily because we are not in the same
position with reference to jeopardizing
their next meal. No matter what
We say, or how nauseatingly We say
It. they will eat. In New York, there
Is no such assurance and it makes
q whale of lot of difference
Washington, of course, is primarily
q one-week show town. If we don't
like this weeks show, there will be
another one along next week, and who
can tell about that?
RESIDES, there is the important
fact that fellows like Edmund
Plohn. Carter Barron. Johnny Pay
cite, Hardie Meakin. to mention just
q few. are pretty affable. philosophic
gentlemen. whose patience is nicely
supplemented by plenty of weary res
tgnation. That means they'll never
sock until the patience plus the supply
Of weary resignation is exhausted-a
pretty remote prospect in a one-week
show town. Moreover, as affable,
philosophic men they have never de-
veloped the impression, as the same
group has had for long time in New
York, that the critics here are drunk
with power. They know We are never,
never. never drunk with power!
1t would be unfair to give you the
impression that our professional re-
lations with the group are positively
Utopian. The words parasite mo
ron" "vulture" (even though that one
Implies carrion around somewhere), =,
and some even stronger, are not alien
sounds to our ears. And, maybe In
their rare bitter meetings, our pro-
fessional qualifications, and even per-
sonal morals, are mentioned none too
flatteringly.
All men, of course, have their in
temperate moments, when reason
shudders in a corner and the emotions
run amuck. Understanding that, they
forgive us when We call their shows
nasty names, and We forgive them
when they return the compliment
about our pieces for the paper.
We don't know whether you would
be interested. but may We tell you
about our relations with the New
York producer-playwright-etc set. We
meet them all. of course, if not here,
at least there. They actually seem
to like us, even when we do not like
their shows. In this attitude. to be
sure, there may be strong smell
of the truth that inheres in the state
ment. THE only good critic is an
out-of-town critic" But even that
Is an interesting odor in nostrils Of
persons with clinical twist of mind.

dcially, attribute the enjoyment of
