Chelsea Chisellings
Well Folks, this is Ye Ole Scribe

a few reverberations from a few of

of the so-called digs" which appeared
here sometime ago and were so effiei-
emily handled by L. P Reddick. One
comment was that their discontinuance
was Good radiance to bad rubbish"
These digs have caused protest and
bad feelings among some of our citi-
zens out of all proportion to what the
most optimistic person had anticipated.

Is now reaping a deserved harvest of
adverse criticism for the ignomious
cracks he has levelled at many Chelsea
people. But that is quite characters
tic of many Of our Chelseaites, for
they either go too far or not far
enough. But recent utterances of
some of our best citizens have revealed
that certain misdeeds of some people
have caused their names to be covered
with odium as a result of their under
hand villany and guttersnipe tactics.
Yet, some of these very people are
happiest when finding fault with others
who are much finer personalities than
themselves, since thus they relieve
themselves from their own inner dis
turbance and sense of inferiority. Much
Of the suspicion. hypocrisy and an
tagonism, which spoil fellowships and
make cooperative efforts difficult, and
even impossible. are not the outcome
of sheer perversity but are an escape
from inner conflicts by the unconscious
projection upon others of our own
failures. A sad state of affairs has
existed in Chelsea for quite sometime
in the past. Misfortune has pursued
some of our citizens in recent years
like the Nemesis of evil. the result be- |
ing that conditions are in a demoraliz-
ing state. and the good are compelled
to suffer with the bad. The Colored
people in Chelsea have apparently
made little or no progress for the past
twenty-five years due to acts and mis-
deeds of a few INSCRIPTIONS vagabondS
whose desire is always to destroy and
never to uplift.

a result, he received the role in
Tail Spin"
Director Irving Cummings, in
quest of leading man in the Shir-
ley Temple picture, espied Farrell
on the tennis courts of the exclu-
sive Racquet Club in Palm Springs.
Farrell, who established the club
and has operated it for years, was
induced to return to Hollywood for
test. And the next thing he knew
he was back under contract on the
old lot where he had gotten his
start and scared to greatness.
In Richmond's case chance played
even greater role. Definitely es-
tablished in pictures and on the
Threshold of stardom, Kane was
sent to the Malay jungles in 1888
with unit from the old Fox COM
pany to make Devil Tiger" The
company remained there about a
year.
On his return to Hollywood Rich
mond discovered that he had con-
tracted jungle fever of the same
type as that which ended the career
OF the beautiful Edwina Booth after
she had made Trader Horn" in
Africa. Kane, however, managed to
throw off the disease but only after
year of struggle. In that time he
was on the shelf, as far as pictures
were concerned.
Then one day just before Tail
Spin" was to 60 into production
Kane dropped out to see some old
friends on the lot. He happened to
run into Roy Del Ruth. who was
looking for a leading man for Tail
Spin" He had tested some half
dozen of the likeliest candidates
IN town for the important part, but
particular type was needed-a
forceful, thoroughly masculine male
able to portray convincingly a Sc
rious yet daring naval flyer on the
screen.
That unexpected meeting with
Kane, whom he had directed once
before in small part, solved the
directors problem. The inevitable
test followed, and Richmond won
the coveted role.
So Hollywood is now talking of
the double comeback" and with
good reason, for Farrell and Rich
mond are definitely on the way
back.

in the garden party number. The
low-down comedy of the sketch rep
resentS the revue's highest point.
Mr.. Coward has strung together a
compendium of faux pas which rep
resents the maddest commentary on
garden parties that ever has been
written. It is in this skit, too, that
Mr.. Haydn gets his opportunity to
show comedy talent that is one of
the shows most remarkable assets,
He m. c.'s the affair with infections
and gestures that miss no drop of
the venom from the authors pen.
Another high point to which Mr..
Haydn leads the revue is that in
which he initiates fish. Author as
we'll as actor in this passage, he
delivers a lecture on the discovery
of his discriminating talent which
ought to be model for all lectures
on all subjects.
The voice of the show is Miss
Ortega. Her big moment, and Mr..
CoWard's most melodious one, COIN
eide in her singing Never Again" 4"
The number is given very pretty
production, one OF those things of
lights and shadows which empha-
sizes just how sentimental Mr.. Cow
ard can get when he lets himself
go. Miss Ortega Is effective, too, In
topical thing called children of
the Ritz" lament of the ultra
ultra girls over what's happening
in this craziest of all possible worlds.
Another song in the same groove,
and much better so far as this cor
ner is concerned, is STATELY Homes
of England" in which Mr.. Coward
has lot of fun over the affairs
of the upper "clawsses." The quar-
tet which does it obviously found
1t fun, too.
There is very little time for dane
ing in Set to Music which seems
regrettable when Bronson Dudley
pops up in the flnale>with flying
taps performance that is practically
magnificent. Mr.. Dudley ought to
have more work to do.
Gladys Calthorp, who provided
the. decor and costumes for the
revue, has done her characteristic
smart, simple sort of thing that is
invariably pleasing. Mr.. Coward's
direction is deft and the production
has smoothness and finish that
need no improvement.
Set to Music" is a very smart
investment, if that is what you are
looking for this week.

male roles in the production.

horse. Right there the smart set let
out a yelp of approval that nearly
frightened the horse to death, even
though he did look like a sophisti-
Gated beast. From then on it was a
wild romp for every one with Miss
Lille leading the way as only she
can lead.
It probably is some kind of dirty
ingratitude to suggest that Mr..
Coward has written with more gilt
ter, but a misgiving or two on that
score does manage to crowd its way
in between the laughs. However, a
notch or two below his peak, he still
is better than any one else at that
sort of thing. And. with Miss Lille
to polish up any dullness, you can
be sure there is nothing seriously
wrong with set to Music"
Written especially FOR Miss Lille,
it runs the gamut of her versatility
from A to z. She sings, she satirizes,
she burlesques and she clowns and
she is off the stage only long enough
to change costumes, making "Set to
Music" the kind of thing Lille fans
have dreamed of. The people who
take over between times are headed
by Richard Haydn, an extraordi-
narily comic chap; Eva Ortega, who
does some polished singing of Cow
ards bright tunes; male quartet, a
trio of colored chanteuses and one of
the loveliest ensembles ever seen at
the National.
The sketches which pile up ova-
tions for the shows star cover wide
variety of characters. She's grand
as weary gold-digger, marvellous as
beguiling spy, splendid as a school,
girl mad about movie boy, delicious
as hostess at one of those mad gar
den parties and downright devastat-
ing as malicious gossip dishing dirt
on the Riviera. In other words, she's
good.
Among the many songs which Miss
Lille sings, swings and shouts. best
is the Marvellous Party" Coward
lyrics rarely have been smarter than
these which narrate the terrible do
ings among the sophisticates on the
Mediterranean. Three White Feath-
ers" and Weary of It ALI are an
other couple that will be sung less
well by people with better voices
before the winter is much older.
