Puccini's La Boheme," the San
Carlo Operas offering last night at
the National Theater, revealed again
the excellent talent to be found
among the artists of company. The
long list of principals provided a va
rlety OF character study of absorb
ing interest and their team work
kept the opera moving at rapid pace
IN the mingling of laughter and
tears. The story of student life In
the Latin quarter of Paris is one
that only artists of experience and
sensitivity can put over well and
this the San Carlo singers did with
fine effect.
The Mimi of Mary Henderson
caught to fine point the appeal oil
the character. The naturalness OF
her acting and her warm, emotion
ally colored voice served ideally to
stress the poignancy of her tragedy
and her several important scenes
gained in power through unaffected
singing and acting. So moving was
her work in the farwell of the third
act that "bravos" were shouted by
the enthused audience. She was
ably supported throughout by Tandy
Mackenzie as Rodolfo, the role Of
fering still greater opportunity to
appreciate his fine tenor voice. The

De accepted as graceful acrobatic

her, it must be admitted that the
script Of her first picture calls for
minimum of acting, not only on
her part but the parts of James
Ellison, the hero; Louis Calhern, the
comic, and all the others in the cast.
The best acting in the picture, in
deed, is the pantomime of those
skating comedians, Prick and Frack,

of camera as they were in the Ice

around to showing off prettilly as

In the meantime, the little story
sticking its head up between the
dancing numbers is something
vaguely about a booking agent
(Ellisonl, who picks up talented
girl working as a waitress (Belita)

pears. The fact of his disappear

concentrate on Belita and Mr..

Some Of the best acting in Holly
wood Is done not in front of the
cameras, but in the commissaries
every day at noontime. Relaxed
after a mornings make-believe. the
actors become more their real selves.
The lunchroom is always swell set
ing for off-stage histrionics.
The most intimate noontime show
in town is always given in the War
ner Bros. greenroom, for this is the
tiniest dining room of any major
lot. Paramount. MGM. Goth Gen.
tury-FoA and RKO have cafes so
large that players get lost in the
shuttle of extras.
But not in the greenroom. There
are seats here for hardly more than
90 and for that reason it is reserved
strictly for stars ana guests of the
Studio. All others eat in a large
and noisy and barnlike cafeteria
adjoining. When an actor gets
greenroom eating privileges you can
figure he has arrived at the gates.
One concession Is made, however.
At the rear OF the room is a long
table where the writers-but only the
top wr:ters-are allowed to sit. The
writer's have always been a bit re-
sentfE, of this bad position for they.
too, like to act. and on occasions will
become quite hammy in trying to
steal a scene.
A typical greenroom eating and
acting session these days gives Ann
Sheridan the top position. She
doesn't have to reach" for her
scenes because some very sheer
and startling costumes have been
cooked up for her to wear in "The
Doughgirls." She needs no lines
when she wears these getups to
lunch. She is too smart to clutter
up her role with a lot OF talk. She
just sits and eats-and lets you look.
This is fairly tough competition,
OF course, to her table mates, Jane
Wymar and Jack Carson, but they
are in there pitching nevertheless.
Carson dearly loves commissary act
ing and he chews his scenery quite
as much as his food. He is from the
demonstrative school of acting and
in telling one of his gags, his elbow
knocked over tall glass of milk.
Everyone Immediately co-operated
TO make 1t good scene. Ann and
Jane both squealed and jumped up
to save their dresses, and a couple
of mattresses (who are not above
stealing a scene) rushed over to set
things in order. It added up to
quite a production and all the sup
porting players in the greenroom
liked 1t because it gave them a
chance to call out witty asides and
bon mots.
It's not all comedy, either, that's
played there. For example, the
diners take careful note of the little
sceen between Dolores Moran anc
newcomer Lauren Bacall, who are
sharing the feminine lead in Hum.
