AMUSEMENTS. Garbo Remains in Lead Of the Other Film Stars Her New Picture May Not Be Her Best. l:ut S}le Never Departs From Her High Standard of Acting—New Life for the Theater. BY E. de S. MELCHER. ERE'S a tine of the year for everything. Washington has its cherry blossoms, Boston has its annual Bunker Hill awakening, Warrenton listens every so often (if not always) for the hounds. But there's cne thing that is as certain as blossoms, as sturdy as Bunker Hill, as sure as the hounds, and that is that Garbo never disappoints her audience. hether the public takes to “The|at all.

The Art of Miss Bankhead| And Her Play in New York “Darl( v;ctory" Has a Strange Story and the Actress Goes Skillfully Through a Very Tear- ful Tragedy—Canal Story Goes Well. o510 T Arihn: Smih BY PERCY HAMMOND, L L.":o..‘i KT co. seems to be three schools of thought concerning Miss _— Tallulah Bankhead’s attainments. To the pupils of one & of these she is art incarnate in “Dark Victory’—a sublime | @ ¢ union of+ the delicate simplicities, and the penetrating directness of Duse, with Mme. Sarah’s esthetic tricks and graces, retaining the best features of both. To another, she is, in William Winter’s phrase, a nimble kitten playing with a ball of yarn, ll o like Miss Garbo's clothes, or don’t like the fact that George Brent loses out; whether you think the ending is | too short or too iong; whether you sympathize with Herbert Marshall, or whether you think that Garbo is bet- ter in Russia, in Sweden, in Latvia, or Constantinope—one thing is fact, and that is that she goes steadily up—that she has never given a poor perform- ance. Garbo is still at the head of the cinema league. We can't say that we are feverishly fond of her new picture. We do say, however, that she’s still the most important person in Holly- wood—and that she can do nothing | and still play rings around meny of her cinema sisters. P UE possibly to the advent of Rudy | Vallee, or Marian Davies—at any | rate for some potent reason—the Warner Bros. have calmed down. As evidence we give you the current “Flir- tation Walk,” a musical picture in which the music is not punctuated with scores of half-baked demoiselles who bounce out into the open for no reascn at all, kick up their heels or their eyebrows, spin around with some unknown partner, form the pattern of a flower (which flower then becomes a great many flowers, and possibly then a subway) and then disappear while Sally continues to love Buddy in her own quaint fashion. No, sir—in only one spot, and that's forgivable because it is Ha- wail, do the ladies join hands and offer up their musical tributes during the course of “Flirtation Walk.” In fact, the best part of this musical picture is when there isn’t any music is a pretty good actor and that he doesn't have to shoot out that hand and burst into a frenzied “I Love Louisa” to get across. The proof of Dick's success, in fact, is that he has been able to sur- vive this avalanche of musical pic- tures. * ok kX ‘HE motion pictures are not, how- ever, the only things that are in luck in Washington today. The thea- ter—by courtesy probably of “Uncle Steve” Cochran—is roaring back into its prime. Although this town made the mistake of giving that naive saga of Erie Canal days, “The Farmer Takes a Wife,” a cold shoulder; although it couldn't quite see why New York should have made such a fuss over such a pleasant show as “Roberta,” it has ahead of it some of the greenest theatric grass it has had in many a day. Tomorrow this begins with “Valley Forge,” a play by Maxwell Anderson, a man who, so sure as the sun is in its heaven, can make magic out of words and place his characters be- hind the footlights with such force that way-back history comes up smil- ing as though it were the present. Beyond this exciting adventure into | Revolutionary days which the Theater Guild sponsors tomorrow, comes the news of Ina Claire’s and Leslie How- ard’s return to the National; Gilbert Miller’s return, and the promise of such things as remind us of the good old days when “Show Boat” took five hours to make its debut on this stage. The theater, in other words, is be- ginning to nod in its new cradle. It never has been dead. It is still, and most successfully, growing up. Max Gord GIONEY HOWARD and Robert Lit- tell have collaborated in the writ- ing of “Gather Ye Rosebuds,” which Max Gordon will present at the Na- | tional Theater during the week be- ginning Monday _evening, December 3, with Walter Connolly and Ernest Truex in starring roles. Mr. Littell's previous affiliation with the theater has been in the role of dramatic critic for the New York Evening Post and the New York World. He served on an ambulance on’s Latest |namite. It was as widely discussed and as violently argued as “Strange Interlude” or the recent California elections. And it managed to in- | corporate a great deal of shrewd ob- | servation on labor troubles by the in- | vestigator who knew them at first | hand. | "Mr. Howard’s next attempt was “Lucky Sam McCarver,” and it fared | somewhat less well, but in the Theater Guild productions of “Ned McCobb’s Daughter” and “The Silver Cord.” he corps in the war as one of Herbert | showed that “They knew What They Hoover's secretaries in the American | Wanted” had been no flash in the Relief Administration and as an in- '‘pan. “The Silver Cord” remains to vestigator on the steel strike of 1920. | this day practically the last word He is author of “Read America First,” | that has been spoken in the theater a collection of essays and skelches,]on the subject of mother love. and of “Candles in the Storm,” a first | Two years ago he adapted “The novel published recently by Harper |Late Christopher Bean” in which & Bros.

In addition he |playwright and player went out to wrote a series of labor articles for the | Hollywood, where Mr. Howard adapted New Republic and an expose of the | the scenario of “Arrowsmith” and dope ring for a newspaper syndicate. | Walter Connolly became one of the His first play, “Swords,” was & tragedy in free verse, and suffered the usual fate of tragedies in free verse (“With- in the Gates” notwithstanding). Then he turned his hand to adap- tations that prospered somewhat bet- ter, to melodramas that were equally unfortunate, and to. “They Knew What They Wanted,” one of the Theater Guild's outstanding hits, Pu- litzer Prize winner, and a high spot in the careers of Pauline Lord, Richard Bennett and Glenn Anders. “They Knew What They Wanted” was incidentally conversational dy- | most valuable character actors on the | lot. Sidney Howard is currently repre- sented in New York by “Dodsworth,” an outstanding dramatic hit. The roducer, director, and designer of ‘Gather Ye Rosebuds” are the same trio who were responsible for the guc- |cess of “Dodsworth.” They are Max | Gordon, Robert Sinclair and Jo Miel- ziner, respectively. The Washington engagement of “Gather Ye Rosebuds” is limited to one week at the National Theater | prior to its New York premiere. Guild's First Play. first play of the Drama Guild season, “Ladies of the Jury,” will be presented at the Wardman Park Theater November 26 and 27.

THREE acts telling of the trials and | * tribulations of members of a | Summer colony at Bar Harbor, Me., who are uncomfortably ensconced in their Summer domicile during a bleak | Winter, will be enacted by a group of notable Washington players Tues- | day and Wednesday nights this week at 8:30 in Pierce Hall, Fifteenth and Harvard streets, when “44 Below,” a satiric comedy by E. de S. Melcher, is seen for the first time on any stage. Blanche Dunham, will be played by Caroline McKinley, and Roger, her better half by George Farrington; their two “chicks,” Amelia called Amy, and Jonathan, called Johnnie, by Rebecca Tarwater and Paul Alex- ander, and the family black sheep, Flossie, by Maud Howell Smith.

The | story has been a favorite for years. It was written by Hector Malot and translated into English by Florence Crew-Jones. Because so many chil- dren for several seasons have been asking for it, Mrs. Clare Tree Major, director of the Children’s Theater of New York, wrote it into a play for this Winter’s season. In connection with the presentation here, the Women's International Fed- eration, sponsors of the Children'’s Theater in Washington, has announced a contest for boys and girls. For the best carved donkey representing Pali- kare of the play, and for the best doll | dressed as Perrine, or dressed in| French provincial costume, three | prizes will be awarded. Boys may | compete for the doll prize, if they| choose, and girls may try their hs_md; at whittling donkeys. The first prizes | will be boxes to “Nobody’s Girl” and | the second and third prizes will be| two orchestra seats apiece in each class. For children who may win although they hold season tickets to| all the plays, provision has been made for them to treat their friends or lessl fortunate children of Washington. | The first prize winners may send 25 to the play, the second prize winners | may send 10 each and the third, 5 each. The entries should be sent to the headquarters of the league, 523 Sev- enteenth street northwest, where the contest will close December 1. Awards will be made December 3. The en- tries will form part of an exhibit al- ready opened there, which shows French art and handicraft. The ex- hibits have been provided by the French Embassy, the public library, the Maret School and Genevieve Hen- dricks. The public library also has prepared a list of books on “Nobody’s Girl” and other children’s stories of French life and manners, ) hero, for the moment, of the colorful Flossie. The cast has been directed by Frank Baer, the settings have been created by Allen Stephens and Mary Foley Benson, the properties have been as- sembled by Howard Whitfield. Tickets are at Dorothy Dorsey’s ticket bureau, in Droop's. Here Next Week WALTER CONNELLY, Popular stage and screen player, who is co-starred with Ernest Truex in “Gather Ye Rosebuds,” which comes to the National & week from Monday. B Philip Merivale, who last season appeared in “Mary of Scotland,” is playing George Washington this season National. Philip Merivale in the role of George Washington, will be presented by the | Theater Guild at the National Mon- day night. This play is one of the most widely discussed of the season. Mr. Ander- son, who won the Pulitzer Prize two years ago, has twice before turned to the pages of history for his drama. On each occasion, however, it was English history. His first historical play, “Elizabeth the Queen,” with Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne in the leading roles, was a tremendous success. And last season his “Mary of Scot. land,” with Helen Hayes, Philip Mer ivale and Helen Menken, was the out- standing play of the season. It was voted the Pulitzer Prize by the judges, but their decision was over- ruled by the Advisory Committee, bringing on a storm of protest which has not yet subsided. Now, however, Mr. turned to the American scene. ¢« ALLEY FCRGE,” Maxwell | Anderson’s new play, with Anderson has He New Anderson Play - | has chosen for his theme the turning | | point in the American Revolution. | He has made human beings of char- in the new Maxwell Anderson play, “Valley Forge,” which the Theater Guild will present tomorrow night at the l Nobody’s Girl soberly perhaps, though without genuine feeling or artistic intelli- gence. A third group looks upon her as a brilliant young mimic who goes through her stunts cleverly and contrives by her leger- demain, to produce a semblance of fidelity to her role. Members of the third class, in which I am enlisted, admire Miss Bankhead as a facile and very lifelike automaton in an interesting exhibition of surfaces rather than innards. We enjoy her, as an Ingenious display, while we mope a little because she does not dredge deep enough into our fa- vorite mystery, which, I am told, is that of the human soul as it is se- creted in the Times Square dramas. Miss Bankhead, an Alabama home-/ girl, is, according to well substantiated rumors, & goddess in the London theater, the recipient of worship whenever she appears, no matter how unholy her play. English theater- goers fall out of their seats, it is said, in religious ecstasy over her perform- ances, and the police force has at times been ted to quench the ardor of her devotees. In America she is less reverently known as the | precocious daughter and niece of the Bankhead brothers, who are eminent in the statesmanship of the United States of America. Against that for- | midable background Miss Bank- head’s achievements as & play- actress may seem trivial to some of us. But I think it is safe to gamble that she is a better and sincerer show- person than either of her prominent kinsmen, or any of their colleagues in legislation assembled. | Miss Bankhead, at the start of “Dark Victory,” is a pleasure-loving Long Island debutante—Farmington, the life sybaritic are suddenly changed to prospects of death and the under-, taker. Miss Bankhead in “Dark Victory” goes skillfully through the emotions appropriate to a heroine of so0 tearful a tragedy, but leaves us at the brink of her grave, dry-eyed. * ok x % ARC CONNELLY and his col- laborator Mr. Elser, as you may have heard, have taken Walter Ed- wards' best-seller, “Rome Haul” in hand and have made of it, a pic- turesque and expert drama of life on the Erie Canal away back in the days when transportation was in its swad- dling clothes. Inspired by the color, the atmosphere and the characters of those actively inactive days, the authors have made a living picture, in “The Farmer Takes a Wife,” of old and fragrant items in the history of the pioneers, theatrical, of course, but well within what is called the bounds of reason. It is a fine play, as plays go; and in it Miss June Walker | is right as a seductive cook upon a | |canal boat, and so is Henry Fonda (late of “New Faces”) as the farmer who pleads with her to go back with | “The Farmer Takes | a Wife” is good drama, good play and | him to the soil. good show, a combination that is hard to beat; and I commend it to any | KETTI GALLIAN | _SPENCER TRACY | =2 ANNA STEN - FREDRIC MARCH i« WE LIVE AGAIN*® ftage.

On the stage Ferdie Grofe, noted arranger for Paul Whiteman'’s orchestra and one of America’s musical geniuses, leads his own and celebrated orchestra.

The directorial genius, King Vidor, adds to his list of triumphs with this story of Americans in modern America.
