Edward Grihdth is afraid the ex-

the star might be afIlicted with
pellagra, or something we do not
know how to spell. Yesterday and
Izetta Jewell changed that. Miss
Jewell of here, Broadway, Smith
College and practically everywhere
is back in Washington after two
years of understanding Helen Hayes
in Queen Victoria" Her first ad-
mission is that never did she really
want to play the part. One does
not, Miss Jewell admitted, when the
star happens to be Helen Hayes. In
such case, one substitutes for the
usual understudy hope, the reverse,
namely, that Miss Hayes always will
be able to play.
Even when that yearning achieves
complete fulfillment, there is no feel
ing of regret, says the pretty young
actress who will play the lead in
the next attraction Of the Cross
Roads Theater. There are other
parts to understudy and, in Colum-
bus, Ohio, Miss Jewell had an op-
portunity to play four of them In
addition to her regular role of Lady
Grace.
Nobody knew it," she explains
gleefully, land I had the use of Miss
Hayes dressing room to change all
those headdresses. As matter Of
fact, the press next day said it was
very fine of Izetta Jewell (thinking
of her mother) to return to the
stage to play a subordinate role in
Victoria"
Among the other things which
Miss Jewell, young and pretty, ad-
mitted was that while Hollywood
might be among her major ambi-
tions, it also is among her lesser
hopes She does not think much
of her screen tests, Of which there
have been two, but she does hope
Hollywood will not feel the same Il. .
If it does, there always will be
Broadway That is where her
heart is -. for the time being. at
least A less logical attitude
might have put Miss Jewell in the
same position as the girls who want
ed roles in Metro -Goldwyn-Mayers
"A Day at the Circus" Those
seeking parts in that Marx brothers

requisite amount of beauty, but also

indeed, that Alexander Korda, the
producer, should be allowed that
one little burst of melodrama for
having been good boy the rest of
the time.
In the fashion of so many Eng
lish pictures, this one draws to its
tender, capaciouS heart Yorkshire
men and women of all levels of life.
The tragic loves of the lord of the
manor are its main point of focus,
but those romances had tremen-
dous influence upon the community
and vice versa. The whole thing is
woven into compact and almost
starkly simple story. which moves
along with an effortlessness that is
engrossing.
Victor Saville, who turned in such
q captivating directorial job in ITO
the Victor" (remember?), repeats
that success in South Riding" ex-
cept for that ending. Each of the
characters with whom the story
deals is drawn with crystal clarity.
They include the young squire be-
deviled by his loyalty to his beau
tiful, insane wife and his love for the
progressive, intelligent young school
teacher, the consumptive young
idealist with profound sociallstic
tendencies, the craven grating poll
tician and his rakish stooge, and a
host of others of lesser Importance
but equally we'll defined.
A competent cast contributes very
handsomely to the unfoldment of
the story of South Riding" The
part OF the squire who is crushed
by the bitter mystery of his two deep,
SO different loves is handled with
his usual excellence by Ralph Rich
ardson. Edna Best makes a
poignant, moving portrait of her
impersonation of the comely school
teacher, Ann Todd gets the ultimate
ounce of heartbreak from the part
OF the insane, young wife and re-
liable Edmund Gwenn is splendid as
the bewhiskered rascal politician.
Subordinate parts are we'll played
by children and adults who are good
enough to make one wonder where
they have been all ones movie
going life.
Forgiving him that ending, after
thinking 1t over, Mr.. Korda must
be credited with an excellent pic
ture in South Riding"

Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels sci

letters, 1t was said, were designed to
