"Scoundrel" Again
Revived at Little.

A COUPLE Of years ago (more or
less) Ben Hecht and Charles Mac
Arthur met Noel Coward at a Times
Square restaurant. They began to
tell him of the idea they had for q
motion picture. Mr.. Coward listened,
grew enthusiastic, 80 enthusiastic that
when they asked him If he'd like to
play in the film he practically shouted
his assent, forgetting all about his
previous claims he'd never appear in
a photoplay. So the boys got together
and pretty soon on this and that screen
there appeared picture titled "The
Scoundrel."
Some people growled "Nuts!"
Others screamed "Hooray" and other
things indicating Joy. Some few
critics expressions got even sourer
and other critics divided into groups,
some going out into the streets to
dance. others repairing to their house.
tops to sing huzzahs. The general
agreement by majority vote was that
Mr.. Coward, Mr. Hecht and Mr.. Mac
Arthur had shown the film business

there was something new under the
sun, something new to the photoplay
at least. So the story Of the publisher

Tonight Constance Cummings and
perhaps some other members of the
If were You" troupe, will cast
aside their first-night jitters to be
interviewed over the air at 7:30 o'clock.
The series resulted from q simulta-
neous brain wave by Miss Slaughter
and Jimmy Hurlbut, publicity man for
WJsv. One day Miss Slaughter
thought it would be a fine idea to
interview the stars of the Nationals
plays over the air and about the same
time Mr.. Hurlbut showed up with a
plan for putting microphone back
stage for interviews on opening nights.
So right then and there "Backstage"
became = radio program.
The broadcast has been well received

concerned is the fact that various
