Fast Revue on
The Stage at
Goyety

The Gayety has two-in-one
show this week consisting Of
many well known burlesque
stars with second half set aside
for a sepis swing session. It
seems to be a purposely con-
cocted stunt in order that q
battle" revue would arise.
If such is the case, the eau
casians have the decision over
the Creoles. Such performers
as Charles Red" Marshall, Muir
ray Leonard, Jack LaMonte and
Harry Clex just cannot be COM
peted with. These boys are
old timers, and though some Of
the sketches have been seen be-
fore, their ability and personal
touch make one forget their an
tiQuity, so they are q hit.
They are assisted by three
young ladies Of def ability in
both lines and Specialties. They
are Dolores Dawn, Marie Voc
and Ruth Donnelly, all being
pleaSingly pretty and easy to,
look at. Miss Donnelly high
lights her number with a song,
and if you have never heard her
sing, you have missed good
thing.
The second portion of the
show is a Sepia revue starring
"Sahji." a clever little dancer
who performs with a quiet dig.
nifty and sincerity that makes
her number likeable.
Derby Wilson stops the show
with his flying hoofs. To apply
his statement that "the stuff is
here, and it's as mellow as
cello" is a word picture of his
art. He has rhythm in his
soul as ne taps out steps of Bill
Robinson and others that are in
keeping with the day.
Others in the cast are Stream

Smith, Tim Moore, Joe Byrd

FRONT-OF-HOUSE UNION
Managers, press agents, treas
urers and box office men in the
legitimate theater are now or,
gained.
The theatrical Managers,
Agents and Treasurers Union on
Saturday signed an agreement
with the labor committee Of the
League Of New York TheaterS.
It affects theaters in key cities
affiliated, including Washington.
Minimum salaries to be paid
under the various claSSificationS
by producers, according to Brock
Pemberton, vice president, are
as follows:
Theater managers, 500 q
week; company managers, $125
a week; press agents, $3.50 a
week for one show and a grad
uated scale where the agent
works for more than one show
for the same producer; treas
urers, SIS a week; assistant
treasurers, $50 a week; travel
ing press agents, $3.50 q week,
and travelling managers, $125 q
week.
The agreement also provides
that a press agent must be hired
two weeks in advance Of the
opening week Of the show for
which he works, and that treas
urerS and house managers are
to be employed for the season.
Agents handling publicity for
more than one attraction must
hire a second man, at $75 per
week, for each additional show.
The work of organizing out-of-
town cities is now under way,
with Philadelphia and Boston
already in linO and Chicago
about to sign.

haps become part Of history.
Is it the recent bloodless con.
quest Of Austria? Mr.. RooSe.
velt's record majority in the
presidential race? The Lindbergh
case? Or what? That is for
you to answer. And in so doing
you may win yourself one Of
three cash prizes or guest tickets
to see '"The Girl of the Golden
West" an unforgettable musical
romance which opens at Loew'S
Palace on Friday.
This contest is inspired not
only by the unforgettable music
and romance and adventure Of
this rousing tale Of an unforget-
table era, but by the unforget-
table pictures in which jeanette
Macdonald and Nelson Eddy
have co-starred in the past.
Surely you'll agree that the
king and queen of song have
glorious voices, which, when
blended, are unforgettable.
And since we bring to mind
cinematic events which will
Nnger long with us, perhaps
you'll be reminded Of some one
event or events Of national or
world significance which the
present generation cannot pos
sibly forget. What is this I'M
forgettable event
Direct your thoughts to the
"Girl Of the Golden West"
editor at The Washington Times
who'll award cash prizes Of
SIS, $40 and S. for the three
most interesting letters Of not
more than 100 words. Fifteen
others will each earn a pair Of
guest tickets to see "Girl Of the
Golden West" at the Palace.

The picture probably deserves
ranking as the most effective
celluloid treatment Of a novel
when all factors are weighed.
Fredric March plays a con-
vincing Anthony and Olivia De
Havilland'S portrayal Of Angela
makes her seem quite familiar
to readers of Mr.. eAllen's effort.
In mentioning the title role, it
would be decidedly unfair to
omit reference to Billy Mauch
who does a very capable job Of
delineating Anthony as a child.
Other supporting assignments
are handled by q group Of
thoroughly experienced perform
ers. There is Anita Louise as
Maria, Claude Rains as Don
Luis, Edmund Gwenn in the
Bonnyfeather part, Louis Hay
ward as Denis Moore, Donald
Woods playing Vincent Nolte.
George e. Stone as Sancho, the
"catlike footman." offers an out
standing bit.
A musical cartoon comedy and
the news complete the program
which runs two-and-a-half hours.

Irving Berlin, world-famed
composer, has a standin piano
for the renowned instrument on
which he composed "Alexander's
Ragtime Band" around which
q stirring drama is being filmed
at 20th Century-Fox. The orig
inal piano is kept in Berlin's
office at the studio, while the
stand-in piano is kept In his
BeVerIy.Wilshire Hotel suite.
Berlin seldom uses the stand-in.
since 1t doesn't have the tone
and touch Of the original instru.
ment.

I TREMENDOUS SUCCESS
Thus came to dramatic life,
with Blanche Bates California
bred. as its vital and glamorous
star, the most interesting of all
the Belasco plays.
From it stems the robust
operetta, Girl Of the Golden
West" which will bob up on
the screen Of Loew's Palace The
ater on Friday, with jeanette
Macdonald and Nelson Eddy as
its high-powered singing stars.
Girl Of the Golden West"
opened on Monday night, Octo-
Der 8, 1905, at the Belasco The
ater in Pittsburgh, justified its
authors faith by becoming at
once a tremendous popular sue
cess.
Blanche Bates was, of course,
the girl, Frank keenan, played
Jack Rance, the gambling
sheriff; Robert billiard, Ramer-
req, the road agent.
It is reasonable to presume
that Blanche Bates (now living
in professional retirement as
Mrs. George Creel of California;
will see, in its latest manifesto
ton, the play which BelaSco
wrote with her in mind as its
heroine. Actors keenan, and
billiard have long since passed
to their reward.
MADE AS OPERA
Puccini, visiting America in
January, 1907, saw the play,
was intrigued by its possibility
for grand opera, only hesitated
over beginning the work be-
cause he felt Rose Of the

Starr was then appearing,
might have even greater sub
