Osa Massen Signed
Bv Walter Wanser

Believing her to be one of the
most gifted young actresses to come
to the screen during the last five
years, Walter Wanger has given
a long-term contract to Osa Mas
sen.
Miss Massen recently made her
debut in American films as the
romantic rival of Madeleine Carroll
in Honeymoon in Bali" The nat
ural charm and acting ability of the
young player brought her immediate
offers from several studios, but the
Wanger contract was accepted be-
cause of the producers reputation
for the development of some Of
screendom's foremost stars.
Born in Copenhagen. Miss Massen
was a professional newspaper pho
tographer and a film editor before
she became an actress in Danish
films. The screen test which brought
her to America l8 months ago was
made in London after a studio
which engaged her as film cutter
had closed. While awaiting word
from Hollywood on this test she
assisted in editing tests of others

crew to be an independent pro-
ducer, Miss Rodney quit acting and
became her aide backstage.
While learning the technical end
of producing, Miss Rodney never
lost sight of the financial training
she had gotten in her fathers Wall
street Office.
Il realize that Swinging the
Dream is both big show and a
show that must be popular one
to succeed at ALL" she said. so
that is why I have cut admission
prices down to 81 top. At such
prices we should be able to get the
crowds that ordinarily go to movies
and not appeal just to the limited
Broadway audience.
Too, l want this show to amount
to something other than being just
another hit We have lot of
aspiring youngsters in the cast, some
of them seeming to have extraordi-
nary potentialities. I want to start
a stage school along with the show
to develop these talents.
Certainly these are major am
billions I have. But, I'm "a years
old now and in another month III
be Is and I've got lot of things
I want to accomplish before get to
be such an old woman"
Wherewith the pert and pretty
Miss Rodney went to the theatrical
dressing room mirrors she still
maintains in her Rockefeller Center
offices, rearranged her makeup with
the skill of an actress rather than
big businesswoman and started
back to the giant stage where her
huge cast of singers were swinging

Theater's Season
Starting Out to Be
Best in Years

CHICAGO.
The Loop appears to be in a fair
way of recapturing much of the
theatrical trade and bravura which
in years past established it second
only to Broadway in the affections
of troupers.
Showmen. chary of superlatives
since the bleak depression years,
assert that the season in Chicago so
far has been wonderful This
managerial glow is reflected from
time to time in the writing of sew
eral stage critics and commentators.
Unquestionably, word has got
around that Chicago is one of the
choice spots in the country right
now to give show.
John Barrymore's phenomenal
success in the irreverent comedy,
My Dear Children" had lot to
do with it. From Times Square to
the Hollywood Bowl it became pretty
generally known that Barrymore
was cashing in heavily on piece
of buffoonery which was as variable
as the moods of it's star.
my Dear Children" is now in
its 9th playing week and has
brought in a gross of $305, ,699 60.
Neither extreme hot weather nor
the lure of numerous other enter
tainments appreciably disturbed the
profitable fun of the Barrymore play,
which is still money maker as in
credible as it is sportive.
Katharine Cornell took leave last
Saturday night after three-week
engagement in S. N. Behrman's mo
Time for Comedy" which rolled up
S69, ,43S. including $4,000 for the
actors fund, earned at a special
matinee. The play was sellout
from the start.
Gratifying also was the response
to Maurice Evans full length version
of Hamlet" which crowded a lot
of Shakespeare and lot of patron
age into two weeks.
Among the first of the motion
picture players to visit Chicago this
season, Edward Everett Horton is

The Real Thing

To those who don't know the
Morse code it may seem that Mickey
Rooney is taking "dots and dashes"
during several scenes in Young
Tom Edison" To the unlnltlateo
that taking would appear to be all
that is necessary. But Mickey really
sends correct messages for those
scenes. It is necessary, for any ex-
pert would know taking and be
scornful. And there is minimum
of 10000 persons in the United
States who can read those messages
instantly. There are $4,000 profess
sional telegraphers and 10000 anna
