LONDON, May 26. - A refugee
"Czechoslovak Parliament" will meet
in London Friday to consider a pro-
posal to declare illegal next Sundays S

Thirty-six members of the Par

Clowns Are COtten's Hobby

if we could provide a funny act"
Gotten related. "At the time our
chief purpose was to gather material
for book we were going to write
on circus life.
"The act we worked up simply
wasn't good enough. As clowns we
we're fiops, and the circus wouldn't
take us. A clown has a very tough
job. Anyway. I've been deeply in
terested in clowns ever since"
It's a well-known fact that, in
real life, clowns are inclined to be
morose. In his dressing room on the
set of Weep No More" Gotten has
a poster Of Crock, the famous
French clown. Press dispatches re-
Gently quoted Crock as saving, The
world is terrible place"
Many Of the amateur artists in
the film colony like to paint clowns.
Director Richard Whorf and Come
dian Red Shelton have won serious
attention with their clown portraits
Cotten's daughter paints, but she
says she can't catch the spirit Of
the circus funny men with big
noses and fiat feet. Gotten himself
can't paint anything, and he ad-
mits it.
But, from friends and strangers
alike, he gets 50 many offers of
clown portraits for sale that his wife
recently commented significantly,
I'VE don't need any more clowns
in this family"
Gotten has a theory that the pro-
fessional mourners at funerals In
old Roman days were among the
worlds first clowns.
They acted out the good deeds of
the departed" he said. But they
cavorted at times, too. The only ex-
PLANTATION I can think Of is this !:
When the deceased was a first-rate
stinker, and everybody knew it, his
eulogy sounded silly. The assem-
blage probably laughed And the
paid mourners, in true actor fash
ion, took credit for being funny

NEW YORK.
Two musicals which tried Broad

Taking the better. which is none
too good, first, let's consider the
revival at the Martin Beck Theater
of Jerome Kern's Sally"
When this memorable Florenz
ziegfeld production opened in 1920
it was hailed as something pretty
special. It starred Marilyn Miller
in the title role, and her subordi-
mates included Leon Enrol and Wal
ter Catlett.
The incumbent, produced by Hunt
Stromberg, jr., and William Berney,
is not even modest patch on the
glamorous original, If the tales OF
ziggy's uninhibited extravaganza
are true. The present production is
skinny in settings, although tasteful
in a modest fashion. However a
vague last-act attempt to emulate
one of those production numbers, in
which tall, terrific show gals parade
in outlandishly beautiful costumes,
falls ridiculously fiat. A couple OF
wooden stairways placed haphazard-
ly about the stage and few feath-
ers and tinsel don't make Ziegfeld
production. I'm afraid that sceni-
cally the revival of sally" is an
inexpensive, and at times even
cheap, imitation.
No Freshness.
The cast is better than its material.
The old jokes of 1920 vintage fall
feebly and the effort to jazz them
up turns them into strained dull
burlesque japes, with more than a
little derivation from the worst
radio style humor. Guy Bolton and
P. G. Wodehouse attempted to add
some freshness and polish to the
manuscript, but failed.
Willie Howard is starred; the old
gent, one OF the worlds funniest
men, has too tough hurdle to sur
mount in his lines and business.

Sonia Henie is in the market for
a beau-a Hollywood beau.
I nearly tainted when Sonia said
to me in her dressing room between
ice-skating numbers for 1.-THE
Countess OF Monte Cristo," "D'ya
know a nice man here I can 60 out
with?" Sonia, the $4,000, ,000-a-year
career girl, pretty, vivacious and
with the energy Of 10 men, has no
boy friend of her own in Hollywood!
It's an odd situation, but it hap
pens to other glamorous stars here,
too. They're not usually as frank
as Sonia, who snaps her fingers at
convention and goes to parties
alone, at which she usually finds
an unattached man to escort her
home. Others just as hard up for

it, and stay home in strict seclusion
when that telephone refuses to ring.

OF course, I'd rather have some one

\ A Poor Prospect.
Hollywood is overnowing with
beautiful blonds, and Sonia doesn't
stay here long enough to put in the
necessary spade-work for q man OF
her own. But she did all right in
the old days when she made more
pictures and lived here most OF the
year. .
I remember when first saw Sonia
in Hollywood. 1t was In 1885. II
any one had asked me then if Sonia
could break Into pictures I'd have
laughed and said mo" She was fat
and dumpy, and her accent was i'm
possible to understand.
I'd heard of her, of course. I'd
even seen her win one Of her eight
ice-skating championships at st.
Moritz, Switzerland. But an ice
skater was one thing; a movie star
something else.
However, I, and all of Hollywood
at that time, reckoned without the
amazing shreWdness and energy that
resulted in Sonia making at least
So, 900, 900 last year and being recog-
nized as America s number one brsi-
ness woman.
When top Hollywood executives
failed to give Sonia a tumble or
even q screen test, after she turned
professional in 1886, Sonia rented
an ice-skating rink, invited few
movie big shots including Daryl
Zanuck, and put on a terrific show.
The next day he signed her to a
hve-year movie contract, and she
was on her way.
Sonia, however, was smart. She
didn't stay in pictures alone. Came
her Nation wide skating show that
last season crossed $2,500, 900 in five
months. Now Sonia owns skating
