It is, besides, like his “Lazarus Laughed,” a challenge to the resources of the producer, for in the style of a kaleidoscopic pageant, it accompanies the most renowned of all travelers, Marco Polo, on his ad- ventures through journeys so strange to his countrymen of Venice that he was called Marco Millions, the man who could not speak in small numbers. O'Neill actually demands that the 11 scenes of the play create the atmos- phere in swift_succession of Venice, 8 desert, Persia, India, Mongolia and the grand court of the Great Kahn. Lee Simpson _executed the. settings and Ruben Mamoulian directed the pro- duction. “Marco Millions” is more, however, than a spectacular pageant. It tingles in most of its scenes with a brilliant satire, Marco's speeches ringing with the accent of Main Street and sounding like the blunt choppy slang of the drummer of business. The imaginative beauty of the story marks a great achievement in American drama and the rich fun-making of the satire on big business reveals the usually serious O'Neill as a humorist. The leading roles will be taken by the principals of the Theater Arts Guild Acting Co., including Earle Lari- more, Sylvia Field, Henry Travers, Ernest Cossart, Sydney Greenstreet, Helen Tilden, Albert Van Dekker, Teresa_Guerini, Vincent Sherman, Louis Veda, Frederick Rolland, Sanford Meis- ner and 60 others. GAYETY—"Ginger Girls.” Next week's attraction at the Gayety Theater is the second edition of “Ginger Girl,” announced as being new in every detail. ‘The featured singing and dancing soubrette of the production is “Verne,” with Tommy Levene, comedian, sharing top honors. Among the other members of the cast, many of them already fa- vorites with burlesque patrons, are Charles Robinson, Don Trent, Blanche Burnette, Ed G. Wright, Harry Delmont, Peggy Gleason and Vic Guesele, ‘The chorus of “Ginger Girls” is de- scribed as representing the utmost in youthful beauty, pep and personality. EARLE—“Fast Company.” “Fast Company,” Paramount’s ver- sion of a well known Ring Lardner story, comes to the Earle Theater as the ‘main feature for next week, be- ginning with the Friday midnight per- formance. Jack Oakie, young comedian who has risen to movie prominence in little more than a year, plays the blundering, boastful small-town boy who makes good in “Fast Company.” He is the hero of the play. Richard “Skeets” Gallagher, an- other comedian whose success in films is commensurate with Oakie's, plays the part of Oakie’s personal manager. Evelyn Brent and Gwen Lee, as a pair of teamed actresses, provide the fem- inine side of the love interest. ‘The original Lardner story was called “Hurry Kane” A Broadway stage play, based on the story, and called “Elmer the Great,” brought unstinted praise to Lardner and to Walter Huston, —— 2 CoananTiEp: 7/ 1009 puar Use Autocrat Motor Oil.

The picture is an adaptation of Ferenc Molnar's weil known stage play, “Olympia,” and was directed by Lionel Barrymore. The cast in support of Mr, Gilbert includes such names as Katherine Dale Owen, Nance O'Neil, Gustav von Seyflertitz, Hedda Hopper and Doris Hill. This is the first full-length all-talking picture in which Gilbert has been starred, and some consider it to be his best pro- duction to date. Briefly, the plot in- volves a dashing officer, who happens to have been of peasani birth, and a beautiful princess, whose inclinations are not compatible with the demands of her regal position. On the stage Frank Cambria's latest production, “Jazz Clock Store,” will be presented, with Al Evans and the Palace Syncopators as the local features. The visiting_artists are headed by Bob La Salle, Paul Kirkland, Bard & Avon, the Tiffany Twins, Jim Rentch and the Fred Evans Ensemble. The new Metrotone News, the Fox Movietone News, Harry Borjes and the Palace Concert Orchestra, Charles Gaige at the organ, and short subjects will conclude the program.
