AMU New Cinema Team Shows Fine Ability Loretta Young and Fran- chot Tone In “Mid- night Mary."” WELL PLACED IN VERY GOOD STORY Future May Hold Much for Happy Combination of BY E. de 8. MELCHER. Well Known Players. RUCE CABOT was right. Loretta Young, heretofore lovely but passive Warner Bros.’ star, steps out in “Midnight Mary” and becomes suddenly not only & warm, vibrant creature of flesh and blood, but an actress way past the average limit. Miss Young is born anew in her new film, which comes to the Fox Friday. Under M-G-M _tutelage and side by side with Franchot Tone, young Broad- way actor we have been cheering about for many a day, but who has been buffeted by other drama sleuths, she waxes instead of wanes and shoots way up above sister actresses ‘who have been tripping the cinema fantastic for the past season. In a role which al- lows her to smile and grow sad all in the same breath, and which yanks her out of her usual becalmed state of beauty, she not only flashes on a smile, which is enough to cross oceans for, but she un a glibness of acting which is_strikingly successful. While Miss Young is as yet no Yan- kee Garbo, she ud. soft, pretty lady, be given them than milk SEMENTS. New Screen starting Friday.

The Pickford wants to do a stunt & la Ed Wynn, Eddie Can- | tor, Jack Pearl—well, you know. The company had an idea for Mary: “Eve- nings at Pickfair.” Thought it would be gay, and all. Mary thought she’d rather do a fictional character and keep entirely away from her own personality. She prefers to be an actress instead of a personage. So one of the most con- vincing radio talkers in the country today is hedging back and forth and to and fro and by and large waiting for that big act to be written for her and that big sum to be named.

Lisa Lehman’s “In a Persian Garden” was ax;g;y an octet composed of Mildred and Margery League, sopranos; Fred Gross and Theodor Morgan, tenors; Norma Black and Bertha Mor- gan, contraltos, and Elmer Carlson snd Joseph Wells, bass. Theodosia Armes was heard in several piano selections. The_ voices of the octet harmonized to a fine degree in the ensemble pas- sages the tonal quality being smooth and uniform throughout. The several solos were well sung, with the individual quality of each voice fitting admirably to the music. The excellent tenor of Theodor Morgan gave strength and beauty to his singing of “Iram Indeed Is Gone With All His Rose,” and blended artistically with the soprano of Mildred Colvin in the duet, “A Book of Verses Underneath the Bough.” Mrs. Colvin also sang “Each Morn s Thousand Roses Bring.” revealing a voice of pure lyric tone that reached the high range with ease. Two contralto solos, I Some- times Think That Nevers Blows So Red,” sung by Norma Black, and “When You and I Behind the Veil Are Past,” sung by Bertha Morgan, received enthusiastic applause. Margery League sang the | soprano solo, “I Sent My Soul Through the Invisible,” with finish, and Elmer Carlson was heard in the bass solo, “Whether at Naishapur.” The shorter solos and recitatives were sung by Jos~ eph Wells and Fred Gross.
