AMUSEMENTS. Thunder in the Air Over Picture, “The Bar_barian” Nflvll'l‘fl.! Current Starr cial Egypt and Hollywood May Have Something to Answer For. By E. d= S Melcher. I HE BARBARIAN" prob- ¢ ably never get t, Egy t. Al- though Ramon Novarro, cin- ema’s favorite Egyptian cap- and-gown man. may be pop- ar in this country for his “romantic” work in this film, he and the film are being severely criticized 'rhby ]om&x‘:‘: Egypt in Washington. e lega g‘H!l’t has even chas- tised Hollywood se- verely for filming this story—and it is no secret that there is much thunder in the air on_account of it. Reasons for this are legion. In the first place, the title is strongly objected to. Secondly, the costumes are not authentic. Thirdly. the marriage scene is not in keeping with the traditions of the country. Fourthly, the Egyp- RamonNovarro. tians in the flm are not Egyptians but Syrians. Fifthly, they speak with an impossibly plebeian dialect which no Egyptian of good background would use toda: And, finglly, the scenery is in no way imita tive of the original; Novarro's song is sung in some kind of ununderstandable African langusge; no real prince would ever stoop so low as to volunteer becoming a dragoman; and no Egyptian ever wears a turban and & fex both at the same time. There is about as much real Egypt in the picture, according to country- men from the Nile, as there is Brooklyn. “The Man on the Nile” the title eriginally selected. would have been ac- ceptable. - But “The Barbarian” is a pame which Egyptians believe to be quite unnecessary and thoroughly mis- representative of a pecple who, after all, are no more barbarians than we are Indians. Hollywood, in their opinion, has erred. Ilt, they ar,:ue. mi ci.n!emn had sto) ong enough to ask a few ques- llngspeind :‘lth:xl‘"n little fact as well ®s fancy, there might have no trouble. But, to screen an Egyptian story of to- day in an atmosphere that, in. local terms, has “gone bust” centuries ago, is about as fair as depicting America as a tribe of red Indians with axes, charging around Broadway, waiting to scalp people. “Why,” said a prominent Egyptian yesterday, “must we be represented as barbarians? We have, after all, grown up. Just as you have grown up. And then to have the hero of this foolish story say that he will ‘now treat this man in typical Egyptian fashion,’ mean- | ing that he will” (and the gentleman indicated the cutting of a man's throat) “is not particularly compli- mentary. Is it?” Hollywood, it seems, has been brutally superficial in its treatment of Egypt. Even the pyramids have been some- what debased. The only costume that is authentic is the one which Novarro ‘wears in the first scene. After that his clothes go straigit to Tinces.

Dorothea Wieck puts her wedding ring 1n her shoe when making pictures. . Johnny Weissmuller and Buster Crabbe are always running into each other in cafes and restaurants. . . . Victor Jory lives in Pasadena because he feels an sctor and his private life should be two widely different things. This brings him into a far different element from the gelatin colony when his work is done. He has a kennel of blood- hounds. Joseph Marievsky got the role of ballet master in “I Loved You because he speaks five langusges. . . . Ralph Morgan won't appear in & play with the word “house” in it because he has been in three flops which had “house” in the title. . . . The James Gleasons are on their way home to Hollywood. . . . Al- though Heather Angel has made pic- tures in England, France, Germany ! and Italy, her mother has never been | on a movie set until recently The two | are so close they feared the mother’s | presence would interfere with the ac- tress’ work. Dolores Del Rio's bull terrier Michael has 88 champions among his ancestors, making his the longest pedigree in Hollywood canine circles. . . . Boris Karloff has been making pictures in| England. . . . Three Musketeers of the | forest are principal characters in “Malibu”—a deer, a bear and a puma. . . . Helen Hayes and Bob Montgomery will co-star in “Another Language.” . . . Three former pupils of Max Reinhardt are on Paramount lot—Marlene Die- trich, Ernst Lubitsch and Dorothea ‘Wieck. . Mae West threw an infor- mal entertainment in a night club re- cently when she sang “Frankie and Johnny.” This week she will take 40 orphan kids to the circus. . . .

More fearful even than Charles Laughton's | villain portrayals, you will find Miss | Crews the most miserable of creatures {—and a villainess who claims “not to have a hair on her head that is selfish.” |As a brutally selfish old rapscallion, Miss Crews is so perfect in this role of a mother who tries to wrap her sons | | around her finger, that while at first | you may be inclined to laugh at her exaggerations, after a while you more or less sink into them, and watch her villainy with the same excitement which characterized actions of Mr. Laughton. “The Silver Cord” may not ve a com- fortable film, but it is an interesting one. A good many mothers will laugh at it. And a good many will be afraid of it.

By the Associated P LOS ANGELES, May 10—Ruth El- der, first woman to attempt a trans- Atlantic flight, and Arnold Albert Gil- lespie, motion picture art director, flew back yeste: at_Yuma, Ariz. ‘Their airplane landed at Clover Pield, and they went immediately to Gilles- ple’s home in Beverly Hills. A forced landing yesterday at Indio, Calif., after they had taken off for Yuma to avoid California’s law requiring three days’ notice of intention to marry, delayed their plans. They spent last night in Indio, flying to Yuma early yesterday for a cere- mony performed by Justice of the Pedce Earl Freeman. The marriage is Miss Elder's fourth matrimonial venture. She and Walter Camp, jr., director of Madison Square Garden, New York, were divorced at Reno, Nev., last year. Her previous husbands were C. E. Moody, school teacher, and Lyle Womack, member of the Byrd South Pole expedition. The first two marriages also ended in divorces. e - L Incompatibility Basis Granted in Juarez.

While not a singer of startling characteristics, she pleased by the simplicity and sin- cerity with which she gave of her best and the fine musicianship which per- vaded all her interpretations. The lower register of her voice was particularly attractive being round and full with a ‘warm flu&flty ’th“l,!“hld something of I‘ personal appeal . From a technical s t, she seemed more comfort- able in this register and did her best work when relieved of the necessity of staying upon the heights. It was the feeling not only of ease but of natural- ness in this portion of her voice that | made the designation of dramatic so- prano seem a misnomer. When called upon to demonstrate her dramatic de- livery, as in the “Hymne au Soleil” and “Dich theure Halle,” her singing be- came labored and insecure and lacked the polish that infused her rendering of Handel's “Aria di .’ Sibella’s “Non ho Parole” and Widor's “Contem- plation” with artistry and feeling.

In the Shubert | song, William Shanahan's mellow tenor | carried the well-known melody while the club sang a well-arranged and | softly-sung accompaniment. The smoothly-blended voices fitted the | smoothly-flowing harmony and were a real tribute to the art they represented. | Mr. Shanahan could have been heard | with pleasure' in more numbers, and | the repetition of the choral was suffi- | clent to arouse the wish to hear him | | again in soli. ‘Ellude Robeson, director of the club, | gained several splendid climaxes in the | “Indian Summer,” which were devel- | oped with care and showed the power- | 91 tone quality of which the club is | capable. The pitch was truer in this | than in the “Bois Epais” of Lully, where | the sustained phrases grew a little | heavy.

Mr. Frauenheim's program was well chosen and varied, and he was in the best of form. His opening number was the “Prelude and Fugue in A Minor,” by Bach-Liszt; this was followed by Haydn’s “Andante with Variations in F Minor,” and succeeded by the long and hectic “Carnaval” by Schumann. A Chopin group was next on the program, followed by an exquisite rendering of Isolda’s “Liebestod,” hy Wagner-Lisst. Mr. Frauenheim is a master of De Bussy and he concluded his program ¥ith three De Bussy numbers— aseuse de Delphes,” “Voiles” and Jorcuse” These 5o pleased his lie war recalled three -ad:suonu De .
