Macbeth stood silent and motion
less. center stage, and held it till the
audience were expectant and the
witches frantic. He looked the three
girls over with surprise that deepened
into humor; he pulled at his enormous
mustache; he glanced at the audience,
as though he were a buddy of theirs
and just as surprised as they were.
Then he winked. The audience went
not too briefly wild.
When he was ready, Matt spoke
Macbeth's first line: $50 foul and fair
a day have not seem"
He spoke it as written in the books,
but it was almost the only line in the
play that he did speak as written. and
he made it sound as though the audi
ence and he had run onto something
pretty foul but pretty funny.
So began a great performance of
play that distantly resembled Mac
beth.
If Matt went on ardently hooking,
he did not 60 on burlesquing. The
little man was taking it all pretty
seriously. No Macbeth has ever muir
dered small children with more good
will. and to the complete vulgariza-
ton Of the play he gave the high in
tentness of a radio announcer adver-
Using soap.
Thus he rendered the dagger speech
Go tell the mistress to ring
when my drink is ready and then
beat it to bed. Hello! Is this a
dagger that see before me? All
right - so what. I'm imagining
daggers. am l? So what! This is
an awful time of night - Hecate

something like these DTS to get
me going. There's the old lady
ringing. It's good thing you
don't hear it, Duncan. you poor
old duffer. because it's your last
call. old boy"
The play was given with only one
intermission. BY the time it came,
Matt had even his most doubtful and
unfriendly fellow actors circling him
and yearning. "Golly, Doctor. your
new version is certainly the goods.
Great honor for US to be playing with
you, Doctor"

the screen as strolling violin player
he had taken lessons for weeks - on

Which brings us to the part Of
Fiesta in Union Pacific" and the
bull whip. Fiesta was very tough
hombre with this bull whip, which he
used as constant threat. In his hands
it was a deadly weapon. The script
called for its expert use, up to the
point of fiicking cigarette from the
lips of one of the actors.

WHEN Tamiroff. who was to be
Fiesta, read the script. he was alarmed
He knew nothing of bull whips. But
he got hold of one and started prac-
ticing. When it was time to begin the
picture, here was Tamiroff, going
around the studio lot cracking his
whip with expert abandon, hitting
impromptu targets squarely on the
bull's-eye. frightening everybody. He
was delighted. When the studio people
tried to explain that the difficult feats
with the whip would be done by
double, Tamiroff shook his head.
That was not his conception of the
way to play part.
"If l can't hit a Cigarette, he ex-
planned, "how can l toy with the

With the assistance of Dodie Mig
wit, a pretty but domestic Bowthorpe
senior, who played Lady Macbeth
like Lady Aston, Matt made the Mac
beth costume which belonged to Stub
Slagle fit well enough. The wig and
mustache and the thick-soled shoes
were from his own trunk. The recent
mild counterman of the Bar-B-Q
stood up. a mighty and dismaying
figure. man of violence, with long
golden mustache - the counterman
had been a faded brunette - golden
locks, fierce sunset nose, and glor-

They all clapped twice as hard.
Chuck retired, and the curtain rose on
three badly scared young ladies of

like witches, but who only looked like
little girls in grandma's dresses. They
cheerfully ended their scene with the

WiUkie Fast
Losing Ground,
Poll Reveals

WASHINGTON, Sept. Given
dell L. Willkie, Republican candi-
date for president, is rapidly losing
popularity among the voters of the
nation, according to the Gallop
poll.
The poll of Friday Sept. 20 showed
that President Roosevelt had picked
up from one to 10 points in every
state in the union except Texas
and Nevada. In Texas he lost 2
points but was still leading 83 to
IT, while in Nevada he was ahead
62 to 38, after dropping one point.
The tabulation showed the Presi-
dent leading in 38 states with a
total electoral vote of 453. Willkie
was ahead in only 10 states, in
which he had lost from 3 to 10
points since Aug. 25. His greatest
loss in the Willkie states was in
Indiana, his home state, where he
had dropped nine points, and was
leading by the slim margin of 81
to 40.
The drift away from Willkie
reached high of 10 points in
Michigan.
