in the auditorium of the world
famed old temple of music on
West 57th Street, with Edgar
c. Ulmer directing.
The production, which cost in
excess of 100000 to produce,

are a score of the outstanding
members of the musical aristo-
cracy who have actually appear
ed on the stage there to the
plaudits of the music-hungry
audiences which down the years
have thronged the old building
from orchestra level to the top
most balconies.
Producers Morros and Le-
Baron indicated that their rea-
son for making the picture in
New York instead of doing it on
a West Coast sound stage was
based largely upon their desire
to "do right" by the old hall.
Since the picture represents a
sort of biography of this music
shrine, why not film the scenes
right at the very spot where the
artistic triumphs took place
and with many of the original
artists themselves present to re-
create their triumphs of those
years?
Also, they were fearful that
the coast art directors might,
from force of habit, tend to
"overglamorize" tho -
they to attempt to build new
sets. Then, too, there 5
tangible sincerity which an aud
fence will capture from the
knowledge that the Hall is
automatically photographed. For
days before the shooting COM

grandeur it had known on that
night in 1891 when Carnegie
Hall opened with Walter Dam
rosch conducting the New York
Symphony. For shooting pur-
poses, the red velvet atmosphere
of the Gay Nineties was COM
pletely restored.
Carnegie Hall is a unique
picture in that its cast includes
some of Hollywood's biggest
names, plus a long list of the
greatest musical celebrities who
have ever scored a hit at Car
negie Hall or any other place.
From Hollywood, the producers
brought the cast selected to
carry the romantic story of the
Halls great history - Marsha
Hunt, William Prince, Martha
O'Driscoll, Frank McHugh and
-Ians Yaray, to name a few.
For the enchanting musical
phases of the production, per-
formers who had been connect
ed with the actual musical his
tory of Carnegie Hall were
chosen. The first conductor to
wave baton on the great stage
Walter iDamrosch-was signed
up first. Mr.. Damrosch plays
himself in the modern scenes,
with a younger actor imper-
sonating him in the early '90s.

Such self-consciousness!
AS stunt casting goes in the sum-
mer theater-and it goes downright
delirious at times-the Olney Thea
ter comes up with genuine sparkler
in its presentation Of Sheila Bar
rett in "Dulcy," which had its pre-
miere performance last night.
Miss Barrett, as every one prob
ably knows, or should know, is one
of the few true wits of the theater,
man or woman. She is bright, know
ing, and, If she takes an ironic view
of life, it is always to the accom-
paniment Of laughter. If she has
not reformed the species by her
witty observations of its antics, she
has at least shown 1t how ridicu-
lous it can be.
In "Dulcy," Miss Barrett does a
complete reversal of herself in imi-
tating one of the enduring nitwits
of modern dramatic literature. The
heroine of the Olney Theater's COM
edy was brought to life many years
ago by no less an actress than Lynn
Fontanne. She has lasted long
time, for revival after revival espe-
n; - IL, ;,o tho e,,,,,y,,a ar. tboofor h,,t ~
is doubtful that she ever was played
by an actress who, in real life, is
her so perfect antithesis.
Reg Allen, Olney entrepreneur
who had the notion of teaming Miss
Barrett and Dulcy way back in the
early spring, came up with one OF
the best novelty ideas of the season.
