Hale Dancers
Here Friday

Twenty.four of the prettiest
and most talented dancers he
has ever trained. are promised
Washington by Chester Hale,
whose Capitol Theater Dancers
will begin an indefinite oc-
cupancy of the Loew's Capitol
stage starting Friday on the
theater's eleventh anniversary
program.
Boots McKenna, who has ap-
peared in various musical comedy
successes and has established an
individual reputation with her
dancing talents, has been named
director for this comely en-
semble. It will fall to Miss
McKenna's lot to each week
put the lassies through re-
hearsal chores for the new
routines which Chester Hale will
conceive.
Another well-known young
lady, Paula Kay, will act as cap
tain of the line. Miss Mckay,
too, has appeared in several
Broadway productions, her most
recent appearances having been
with Three Waltzes" and
"Frederika.''

a story by Hans Rameou and a
screen play by Edward Knob
lock. 1t is a romance inspired
by Beethoven's classic of the
same name.
Paderewski, who is in his 18th
year, was intrigued by the me-
chanics Of motion picture max
ing. One of the longest scenes
in "Moolight Sonata" was 1000
feet, during which he played
Liszt's Rhapsody. No. 6, for
which there were no retakes
necessary. In addition to the
Rhapsody he plays Polonaise, A
Flat Major by Chopin, his own
Minuet and Beethoven's Moon
light Sonata"
Eighteen pianos were tried
out before Paderewski decided
on the two he would use in the
filming, one for his hotel and
one for the studio. It was soon
found that the wooden floor
gave too much resonance and a
concrete floor was laid in its
place to insure perfect recording.
Paderewski started TO learn
the piano at the age Of three,
later studied at the Conservatory
of Warsaw and became a teacher
there at 18. From there he went
to Vienna to study and became
professor Of piano at the Con-
servatory of Strasbourg.

kick out of recalling those queer
but nevertheless telling phrases
which are so great a part of our
American expression. Here's to-
days sentence:

dered because he tOGS jilted."
How would Mickey say it?
Get pusy right now and win
yourself a handsome prize! In
no more than 20 words, revise
the sentence above into typical
American slang. For example,
you could say George is screwy
because he was stood up!" Take
all the liberty you wish in reviS-
ing the sentence, just so long
as you keep the meaning intact.

Bargain Price
ForHit Play
Next Week

The week of September 26
will be Bargain Week" at the
National Theater when Sam H.
Harris brings to that popular
temple Of drama "You Can't
Take 1t With YOU" the 1887
Pulitzer prize-winning comedy
by Moss Hart and George S.
Kaufman.
This is the first time on rec
ord since this sensationally sue
cessful play opened its New York
engagement at the Booth
Theater on December IA, 1886,
that it has played to less than
$3.50 top at night and So at
matinees.
But, the Messrs. Harris, Kauf-
man and Hart, having realized
a tidy profit out of the nearly
three million dollars the play
has crossed since its premier
feel that it is only proper that
they should share their good
fortune with the loyal patrons
Of the legitimate theater who
have made such successes pos
sible. Therefore they are send
ing "You Can't Take It With
You" on a tour of the prin-
cipal cities at the following
sensationally low scale Of prices.
For all evening performances,
balconies 55c and $1.1O. Lower
floor, $1.65 Matinees, balcony
seats 55c and lower floor seats,
$1.10. This includes all taxes.
Nor has Mr.. Harris Stinted
on the cost of production or the
personnel of his cast. Sceni-
cally it will be identically the
same as the production in New
York while the company is COM
posed Of the best of the players
who appeared last season in the
Boston, Chicago and Philadel-
phia companies. This distin-
guished assemblage is headed
by Clarence Oliver, who made
such a favorable impression last
year in the same role, as
Grandpa Vanderhof, and in
cludes such distinguished play
ers as William Jeffrey, Made
liene Grey, Alan Brixey, Rene
Roberti, Dulcie Cooper, Ellis
Baker, Donald Sharpe, Joseph
Attention, Patti Littel, Dagmar
Karlling. Robert Perry, Frances
E. Williams and John Marriott.
Moss Hart and George S.
Kaufman, the co-authors of
"You Can't Take 1t With You"
hold the enviable position Of
being Americas foremost play
wrights and "You Can't Take It
With You" is considered by the
critics as one Of the best plays
they have written. This season
they have one other big success
on tour-"I'd Rather Be Right"
in which George M. Cohan is
featured.

Eddy Turns Coach
For Younq Actor

Nelson Eddy turned dramatic
coach on the "Sweethearts"
set at Metro Goldwyn-Mayer to
teach Douglas McPhail, young
singer, the traditional gestures
that go with opera and operate
renditions. In a scene in which
McPhail plays a stage singer,
he was supposed to exhibit all
the traditional tricks. Eddy, who
learned them all during his
opera career, obligingly turned
teacher until McPhail had the
routine down to perfection.

rudeneSS, until her Culpeper
spirit is aroused, and she acts
Juliet in the balcony scene, just
to show 'em. When ColumniSt
Breed can stand it no longer,
and says so, Cindy Lou forgetS
she's a lady, drops Southern
manners, and butts him into
silence.
It wins her a chance at Velvet,
and it inspires Producer Harner
to amcrouS ideas. Meanwhile,
the ambitious Myra Stanhope is
conducting her own campaign
! to win the role. A melodramatic
finale, much too prolonged and
scrambled, has Cindy Lou re-
nouncing a film career for a
Socialite husband.

fortunate in discovering Helen
Claire, q full-blown Southern
ingenue with a genuine accent.
She it is who gives vigor and
bounce to lines that Scorch and
scar the platform on which
Cotton Ed Smith rides to the
Senate, purge or no purge. With
barbS that point and sting, she
riddles the traditions and Gus
toms of the jeff Davis era, yet
you all wind up liking Cindy
Lou and her Congressman
daddy, who thinks Hollywood
is the abbatoir Of decency. Coy
and cunning, Helen Claire
makes her that way.
MAY WAKE EN- UP
Benay Venuta, from the radio
studios, makes Myra Stanhope
a convincing go-getter in love
or pictures. Sheldon Leonard,
as the producer; John AleXan-
der, as a slouchy columnist,
and Phillip Ober, as a magazine
editor, share the best of the
snappy retorts and airy persi-
flage. Millard Mitchell, Edward
Nicander and Hugh Marlowe

fectively.

forget General Sherman.
Through all this overcrowding
Of line and incident, a sharp,

lating satire on the Gone With

expression. A comedy that

MOVIE MADE HISTORY

Last half of the week at the
Mt. Vernon open air theater the
screen attraction will be "Hell'S
Angels"
This was the picture which in
troduced Jean Harlow to movie
prominence, and on which air
minded Howard Hughes (who
was later to make an epic flight
around the world) expended a
huge fortune.
Producer Hughes had his pic
ture practically completed just
as the motion picture industry
went bag and baggage for sound
movies. It forced Hughes to re-
make his production, and all of
the principals gathered the
equivalent of two years salary.
Despite its heavy production
cost, "Hell's Angels" returned
dividend, and some say Howard
Hughes is more than a million
ahead on the picture. That in
cludes about 100000 in repeat
bookings since the producer be-
came an air celebrity.
Jean Harlow got 5000 a week
with Producer Hughes. After
"Hell's Angels" her next con-
tract was for $1,000, and she
climbed steadily until her un-
timely death.
