Its theme is the old domestic

melodramatic twist in which the
husband takes it into his morbid

The play puts quite strain on the

a woman of Miss Bergner'S grace
and wit, one so constantly nymphish
should be unable to hold such a
man. Had she been, of course, there
would have been no play at all, OF

1t is not to be denied that in it's
arbitrary way, The Two Mrs. Car
rolls works It's way to considerable
pitch OF excitement in the second
act. Miss Bergner by that time has
been artful enough to convince the
audience she has become terrified of

care about being an actress, but

Another thing you will learn from
watching Miss Bergner in The Two
Mrs. CAROLS" is that the plav.
which has run three seasons with
her, could hardly have lasted three
weeks without her. AS matter
of fact, it was tried once before with
another cast, played one lamentable
week in Washington, and died the
next week in Pittsburgh. The moral
of that undoubtedly is that if YOU
have play of fiagrantly dubious
values, hire Miss Bergner as your
star. The current Two Mrs. Car
rolls obviously will live happily
and profltably so long as Miss
Bergner cares to keep it alive.
1t should be said in behalf of
Miss Bergner's vehicle that it diff

Schoolgirls Lack
Girls Viewpoint
By the Associated Press
HOLLYWOOD

HollyWood's greatest casting head
ache, says Director Roy Neil, is get
ting schoolgirls for the screen. The
actual schoolgirls look like actresses.
This throws the matter into the
hands of actual actresses who are
still reasonably young, but who are
able to project the unsophisticated
ingenue feeling.
In every other sort of characteri-
cation, capable actor can be re-
lied upon, but the young girl field
IS the most difficult, because, as
Neil says. it is almost imperative
to find the actress with young
girls point of view. If she can't
feel it sincerely, the camera doesn't
get that naive girlish something
from the eyes that makes the char
acterization ring true.
In The Black Angel" with Dan
Duryea and Peter LORE, there's a
pair of such roles. not large in
themselves. on which the story
hinges. So far, after days of test
ing, Neil hasn't found either the
actual schoolgirls or the actresses
with the schoolgirl view point. Neil
blames it on the movies.

In his letter to Rep. Clark,
