KEELEYGRAMS

Company Manager Clarence
Jacobson of ABE Lincoln" for
merly worked in the National
Theater's box office as the house
treasurer.
He quit in 1910 to go out with
Henry B. Harris production of
Edgar Selwyn'S play, "Th
Country Boy" and believe it or
not, that attraction played five
solid years before closing up,
made three coast-to-coast tours.
Manager Jacobson also plloted
Screen Pastures" for four full
seasons. He knows every whistle
stop and town hall stand from
Aaron to Zilch, and some not
even in the postal guide.
1t is Mr.. Jacobson's opinion
that the country is ready for a
good company that can give an
evening of one-act plays. Some
thing like the Noel Coward-Ger-
trude Lawrence cycle. Some day
he hopes to back such troupe.
Perhaps he's swayed some by
the lucky impresario who picked
up the Lawrence-Coward TO
night at $50" rights for a song.
He put EStelle Winwood-Bram-
well Fletcher Helen Chandler in
the playlets, and banked $685.
900 profit on last seasons road
tour. And they said only Cow
ard and Lawrence could make
any money with them.
VARIETY'S PIGSKIN
Variety Club is shopping for
o god football game, inter-
collegiate, y; Schoolboy, to boost
its welfare fund. And this time
Variety hopes to stage it before
getting caught in Santa Claus
Whiskers. Last seasons game
was played six days before
Christmas, won a nice dividend,
but it was hard competing
against holiday shopping.

of Baby
At RiOItO

Birth of a Baby" the motion
picture which has aroused ma
tion.wide discussion, chiefly over
how it should be exhibited,
opened yesterday a the Rialto
Theater.
The production of the picture
was supervised by five eminent
obStetricians connected with
ranking hospitals and uni
versities.
The story Of pregnancy and
the need of medical care in a
critical period of a prospective
mothers life is told with the
simplicity, frankneSs and the
reverence that one of the
miracles of nature demands.
There is enough narrative to
hold the facts in proper Sc
quence, for we follow that most
momentouS chapter in the life
of a young wife-her first preg-
nancy, and learn with her what
an intelligent doctor impartS to
an expectant mother, allaying
her fears, instructing her con-
duct, until-within full view Of
the camera-the child is &C.
tually born.
With word and chart the
story unfoldS the four essential
roles of mother, father, doctor
and nurse acted in just the
right key by Eleanor King, Will
liam Post, jr., Richard Gordon
and Ruth MatteSon, and di-
rected at exactly the proper
tempo by A. E. Christie.
This is a well acted and pro-
jected motion picture, that per-
haps fits the clinic better than
the average picture house dis
pensing entertainment. Some
may find embarrassment in
such subjects so frankly dis
cuSed and revealed, but those
for whom it was intended will
probaly find it educational and
helpful.

CHEERED BY OVATION
Laurence Stallings never took
him up on the invitation. But
Robert E. Sherwood wrote
"Abe Lincoln in Illinois" with
Raymond Massey ever in his
mind as the man to bring his
character to life. For Massey
is not only a fine actor, but he
looks like Lincoln, even without
makeup.
Over a spot of tea and a NUT
ton chop at the Occidental yes
terday, before his afternoon call
to the theater, I chatted with
Raymond Massey about his re-
action to the Monday night ova-
tion.
I'VE all felt very happy about
it," he said. New plays are al
ways uncertain, but there was
no doubt about the warmth and
the sincerity of that first night
greeting. I just filled up. 1 had
to read the Tuesday notices to
find out how many times the
curtain went up and down."
"No," he said, "it isn't the
longest part ever written. 1t has
100 Sides and I committed it
to memory after landing in
America about a month ago. OF
course I was familiar with the
play but most of the lines were
cemented in rehearsals.
LINCOLN'S REAL WORDS
At this point Playwright Rob-
ert E. Sherwood, with Play
wright Elmer Rice, who directed
"Abe Lincoln" stopped at the
table.
Il want you to know how
grateful I am to you and the
other Washington critics, for
your kind treatment" said Mr..
Sherwood. mot only for this
play, but for everything I have
ever done IN washington. 4CS

Mr.. Sherwood aScends 6 feet

quite as tall as his compliment
for Potomac Theater scribes.
think he probably had his
"Idiot's Delight" in mind. For
when he opened that Lunt-Fon-
tame play in Pittsburgh, the
notices were luke warm. The
Washington try-out found critics
predicting the hit it turned out
to be.
Meanwhile Raymond Massey
was perusing Earl Godwin's
observation that in the Lincoln
Douglas debate the play made
the Illinois statesman some

The National Academy Of
Stage Training, Washington's
first and only all-professional
school of the drama, will begin
its fall term (seventh year, in
the academy's new home at
1900 Rhode Island Ave. N. w.
Monday, october 10.
Founded in 1882 by S. E. Coch-
ran, for many years the man.
ager of the National Theater
and a producer in his own right,
this organization has trained
many aspiring thespians for the
professional stage.
In six years it's students have
had the advantage of profes-
sional instruction from such
stage masters as Clifford Brooke,
John Mckee, Addison Pitt,
George Vivian and Dorothy
MarCln.
With the establishment of his
new Summer Theater at Olney,
Md, many of the students were
given an opportunity this year
to perform with professional
companies. The school plans to
inaugurate a second season at
Olney about the first of May
and students will again have
first call on the extra part
assigned local children.
Enrollments are being &C.
cepted daily from 10 a. m. till

othy Martin will direct the

At Earle

Frank Capra's "You Can't
Take 1t With You"-the latest
production by the man who
made "Mr. Deeds Goes to
Town." is doing extraordinary
business at the Earle Theater.
The screen version of the
famous Pulitzer Prize Play,
You Can't Take It With You"
presents a stellar cast including
Jean Arthur, James Stewart,
Lionel Barrymore, Edward Ar
mold, Mischu Auer and Ann
Miller.
With kindly Grandpa Wander
hof Barrymore) as the central
figure, the story concerns
romance between his grand
daughter (Jean Arthur and
Tony Kirby Games Stewart).
The Vanderhof family lives by
one rule-do what you like and
enjoy yourself.
This conflicts directly with
the philosophy of Kirby, sr.
edward Arnold, whose guiding
principle is to do anything,
whether you like it or not, pro-
vided you make money.
Robert Riskin prepared the
screen play for You Can't Take

You thank Mr.. Goodwin for
me-" said Actor Massey, "for
his kind words. Tell him, too,
that every word I speak was
uttered by Lincoln. That plat
form address is a composite of
IA speeches made by Lincoln in
the course of their debates, but
every word is authentic. Histori-
Cally accurate. l am glad they
seem timely
Lincoln, by the way, was de-
feated by Stephen A. Douglas in
this Senate race, though he won
the popular vote.
Had the play been changed
much since the first perform
ance?
ABOUT HIS MAKEUP
"Only the usual polishing. A
line here and there" he added.
I'VE accepted the suggestion
that a few tears would add to
the effectiveness of the prairie
scene"
How long does it take you to
makeup?
well, I don't have to do
much. 1t takes me about 20
minutes to apply the mole to
the side of the face. Otherwise
the physical structure of my
features requires little build-up." "

Typographical maps are considered
among the best in the departments
files.
Though he witnessed many Wild

vorite story was about a girl and her
mother who participated in the Chero-

The women on the mule were among
the leaders to arrive in town, and they
Immediately laid claim to "lot" be-
tween four stakes the surveyors had
set to designate a street intersection.
Continued explanation by Mr.. Dun
nington did no good and his recon-
mendation to take a corner lot was

"Probation After Death is the
subject Of the Lesson-Sermon
which will be read in all Chur-

Sunday, October %. 1888.
The Golden Text is: God
shall bring every work into
judgement, with every secret
thing, whether it be good, or
.Thether it be evil (Eccl. II:
40.
Among the citations which
comprise the LeESOn-Sermon is
the following from the Bible:
For promotion cometh neither
from the east, nor from the
west, nor from the south. But
God is the judge (Psm. IS:
6, y.

from the Christian Science text
book, Science and Health With
Key to the Scriptures by Mary
Baker Eddy: I'VE know that all
will be changed in the twinkl-
ing of an eye when the last
trump shall sound: but this last
call of wisdom cannot come till
mortals have already yielded to
each lesser call in the growth
of Christian character. Mortals
