MAE WEST IN MELODRAMA OF W0'S TONIGHT *She Done Him Wrong' Is Current Presentation at Capitol Theatre Mae West, noted star of stage and screen, has for two days at- tractad crowds to every perform- ance at the Capitol Theatre where | she is appearinz in “She Done («Him Wrong,” lusty, roaring melo- jdrama of the Bowery, in the gay '90's, where men were menh and women were “on the make.” . The versatile blond star, who wrote the play in which she is lstarred‘ takes the part of ‘‘Lady ILou." a beer hall entertainer with a phobia for diamonds, which are supplied in copious quantities by her devoted admirers. Among the men she “done” in | this sensational film are, Noah | Beery, Owen Moore, Tolbert Rol- yand, David Landau and Gary { Grant. Mae West, with her racy dia-! logue, and stunning performance as Lady Lou, has created a sen-| sation in the country in this col-| orful story. Not the least of the| attractions are the three songs,| “Frankie and Johnny,” “Haven't' | Got No Peace of Mind” and “A| Man What Takes His Time.” that she sings in her husky seductive| voice. | A late news rcel and some ex-} cellent shorts conclude the enter- ;mming program. BINGHAM IS MAKING I {Two' Personalities Shown i in Friendly Dignity ! to His Office By OSCAR LEIDING LONDON, Oct. 10. — America’s Ambassador to the Court of St. James, Robert Worth Bingham, has revealed himself as a man | of two distinct personalities. Many have seen him in his of- ficial role, upholding with dmmtyi the prestige of his office and of the country he represents—a dig nity, however, relieved by a | friendliness and charm which have | won wide favor. London Residents Hospitable The other side is known to old | friends, either American or Brit- |ish, who have found the great yellow residence overlooking Hyde| | Park a house of hospitality and } informality. | To those who have seen both | sides of the man, his official for- | mality appears to be a veneer— donned when the occasion de- | mands and as quickly stripped off. 1 Americans have been close to him in the United States begin to feel at home the instant they set for the footman who first meets {them is the same who has served |the Bingham family for many | years in Kentucky.

Charlotte, who cried with ex- citement and joy when she. was told that she had won the role: of |t Alice, has a mother who is with her here, but M Virzinia Henry, once an actress h f, is going to be no sideline edach., ¢ i | She told Norman ‘McLeod, ‘thé director, that he need. not worry on that scoré. Mrs. Henry khows all about “stage mamas” “I'Tl bring her to the studio at nine in the morning and you will not see me again until I com?2 for her in the evenir she told McLeod. And the director must have been overjoyed at that assurance, for “stage mama,” or her Holly+ wood equivalent, th: “movie Ma- ma,” is rated high among the pests of the lots. In at least one of them practically eliminated her daughter as an Alice candidate.|) Mama in this instance had trainc daughter to tak: her own direc- tion so well that when daughter faced the camera and had to heed the director she was at a loss. BROOKLYN SCORES AGAIN Well, Charlotte’s selection adds | another merit mark to Brooklyn's score. It gave Hollywood Claraj Bow, this year donated Mae West, and now it offers an Alice. Char- lotte was born there, March 3, From her looks, the year might have been 1918 or later. As Hollywood's contests for “unknowns go this one produced a girl from rank obscurity. They often end with the breathless an- nouncement that “the very girl” has been found “right on the home lot, and what do you know about that?” I PLAYED A STAGE BIT Charlotte may be recalled as the girl who played a small part on Broadway in Tom Barry's play “Courage,” and who was brought, t9 Hollywood in 1929 by Fox. Ex- cept for “Courage” and school plays in the convent, she had left | a -year before, she was withoutj experience. She had a small role| in “Harmony at Home" for Fox,|* repeated her stage role in the| filmed “Courage,” and that, wasj about all until she played the title| role in a film called “Lena Riv-| ers.” ¥ To the rank and file of movie| fans, however, Hollywood’s Alice is| a discovery. paid upon him here by Scot| friends. | The Ambassador is very muchat | home in Scotland where in times past he has indulged in his fa-} vorite recreations — shooting and, riding—and- he brought over with him his saddle horses and his dogs. | Secretary of State Hull and Senator Key Pittman are both old friends of Armbassddor Bingham and their visits to him here have been personal as well as official | The son of Louis Howe, one of President Roosevelt's secretaries visited With the Binghams for three, weeks: Franklin D.

It of- fors a glimpse ahead to the year 1940 when, say the autho United States may be plung: another war. But if is not in- tended as a war picture—rather it purports to prevent war by warning of a horror which the fu-* ture will bring upon those who remain at home, when the warriors of the country go to the front. The story of “Men Must Fight” starts after Diana Maynard’s war- time romance with a British avia- tor who is Kkilled on his first | flight. She becomes the wife of |the Secretary of State, who agres to raise her child as her son. The wife's: whole life is devoted to in- fluencing her husband to work for the prevention of war, and the son grows up hating violence to such an extent that he is willing to sacrifice the family name and the girl he loves rather than be forced to go to war. But om learn-| ing that he is not reaaly a mem- ber of the family, he decides to follow his real father's example; of heroism. The picture was directed by Ed-i gar Selwyn, who has turned inj a production which compares in, every way with his fine achieve-| ment in “The Sin of Madebnl Claudet.” The photography, the 1940 settings and gowns, are also important factors in the produc- tion.
