B—-20 AMUSEMENTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, “Gather Ye Rosebuds” In Need of Somg_l_(fie_touching New Play at the National Has Excellent Cast and Some Brilliant Lines, But Is Disap- pointing—Connolly and Truex Star. BY E. de S. MELCHER. IDNEY HOWARD and Robert Littell, presumably in an off moment, have turned out know. downnght fib. For the leading financial and other circles, his recent plight in Greece havmg trumped up both sympathy and anger, and while the “incidents” the fact that many exploded on the front page of newspapers during the past two years links them somehow nearer fact than fiction. may be “fictitious, “Gather Ye Rosebuds” has its) bright moments, but the authors and | smart Max Gordon must have sensed last night that even these bright mo- ments need brightening. You can have Ernest Truex appear as an ex- gangster who is ekeing out his days on | the shores of an Aegean Sea: you can have him a meek, kindly little man who is a bear on repeating Kipling's | “If” (by far the best moment in the show) in the midst of harping back | on its 52-notch gun days. you can have Walter Connolly as a Wall Street lion, hiding away from his former haunts and helping to plot a new Toanian financial code—but when that | is about all yvou have, except Mr. | Truex knocking down Madame Daphne Polyzoides and that excellent actor, Frederick Perry, playing an American minister, then it is time perhaps to shuffle the cards again. ! And just to be downright unkind about | it all (when we have no desire to be, | being a stanch admirer of both the author’s writings) we shall have to admit that the play reminded us of nothing so much as a college show in rehearsal. * % Kk % THE question remain: Has this tiric comedy arrived exactly one minute too late? Certain doings in a certain law court during the past few weeks have somehow put “finis” on an incident. curiously akin to an incident in this play, which the public should now prefer to forget. Whether or not the witty and wise sayings put in the mouths of the central characters—and | there is no denying that many of the lines are brilliant—will carry the play to great favor remains to be seen. Mr Gordon, its producer, who recently Nevertheless, to try to fool us out of this logical supposition, the program states that “the character and incidents in this play are entirely fictitious”—something which you and I and last night's audience at the National know is a | actors as Messrs. Connolly and Truex, a play about some one we all character is one well known in of them have been watched the growing pains of “The Farmer Takes a Wife” with fatherly mtem says, “Yes"—that New York will take to it because of the financial angle—and we say, “No"—at least, not until some of that hugely distorted burlesque is taken out from under it and people den't come in and fall flat on their noses. * ok % JEVERTHELESS, the money bo in the audience last night said that they enjoyed it enormously— and since it is they to whom Messrs. Howard and Littell are preaching. the arrows point to a possible prosperity, Some of this is due to the lines; none of it is due to the plot—and most of it is due to such excellent Frederick Perry, Eduardo Ciannelli and Margaret Dale, whose entrance last night indicate that she has many | friends in this part of the world, as she has, of course, everywhere. Sally Bates, in the strange role of Mme. Daphne Polysiodes, played it in | a sort of highly-seasoned Hollywood fashion which may be what the role calls for, and then again maybe not. At any rate, at the risk of incurring | the extreme displeasure of everybody ! concerned (and it welcome Mr. Connolly back from the | cinema and to see Mr. Truex bound- ing around as a waiter with a gang- ster’s soul) we shall have to admit that we were vastly disappointed in this enterprise, and hope, earnestly hope, that before it gets itself to Broadw: it will sit down, take a deep breath and work on itself with | all the joy that there undoubtedly is in the author’s, the actors’ and the producers’ hearts. The stuff is there —but it needs stuffing. Troupers Glimpses of Stage Folk in Washington, ‘HREE discontented young men of Boston a few years ago put their | heads together and naturally found | they had a vocal trio, consisting of a lad who plays the piano and sings tenor, two who are baritones. In the order named, these gentlemen Wwer Dave Grant, Gordon Graham and Bunny Coughlin. known in the current | patois of the land as “The Funny- | radio comics and singers. and at the moment a featured act on | Loew’s Fox stage. Behind each of the melody boys | lies a history tinged with the economic | uncertainty and vocational misgivings | of the late unlamented '20s, in which most young men were too busy selling bonds to work or think about the future. Together they have rescued themselves from the disasters of 1929 | and 1930 by turning to the amusement | field, where salvation lies for any one | capable of ribbing the fancy of a long laughless world. Dave Grant, a native of Newton, Mass., studied at Massachusetts In- | stitute of Technology, was rather bored | by everything except the musical clubs, and thereupon hied himself to the New England Conservatory of Music. He had been the leader of a fairly su cessful college dance band during his “mit” days, and in 1929 he ventured on a vaudeville tour with the orchestra. In that year in Duluth the juggernaut caught him and rolled his enterprise flat as a pancake. He was stranded and broke, managed to get home by | ment of Willy walking alonz the road with a sign on his back reading, “May I ride, please, Boston?" He did contrive to save a vocal trio out of the wreck of his orchestra, but for a while he paid little attention to it, concentrating on the stock and bond business. By the end of 1929, there was plenty of spare time on the hands of bond salesmen. Dave pulled the trio into shape and landed it a spot on a local station. Bunny ' Coughlin was second man in the group, and they worked with an in- constant and variable third. When Gordon Graham joined them, the unit crystallized. Graham had graduated from Dart- | mouth, where he was leader of the glee club, in a year it won the na- | tional college champlonsmp, sung in a show called “The Dagger and the Rose” which scarcely lasted long enough for the rose to blossom, and | been dramatic critic of the Utica Dis- | patch. He passed his spare time in that city as an actor in local theater groups, and as a critic seriously con- templated the latent talents of the young actor, Gordon Graham. When his literary career suddenly folded up | on him, he returned to Boston and began haunting newspaper offices. Between haunts he worked as singing “m. c.” in a night club, stayed around about a year and then knit his funny- bone in with the other lads afore- mentioned. Bunny Coughlin came from Boston, was fired from his first job for singing ‘ in the office and later had the pleas- | ure of collecting pay checks from the | same business, giving good money to support the “Funnyboners” on a com- mercial radio program. Bunny plays the violin, saxophone, clarinet and banjo, and after his forced retirement | from the world of commerce, toured Europe with an American orchestra. | He paused in Sweden to give crooning | lessons to the Swedes (which might | well have precipitated a diplomatic incident, but didn't), returned to this | country and opened a sales agency for | trick curtains. It was a great indus- | try for a month. Next he met Dave ’ Grant and joined the orchestra that | boiled down to the trio—and there you have the “Punnyboners.” Or rather, the Fox has them. R.B. P, Jr. POLICE HALT PLAY Church Declared Not Licensed for Theater Purposes. NEW YORK, December 4 (#).— The police prevented the Red Flan- nel Players of Cheyenne, Wyo., from presenting “Greed for Gold” last night on the ground that the deserted church turned by them into a theater had not been licensed as such, The building formerly was occu- pied by the Dutch Reform~d Church but had been closed for tw» 3 until the Geth-m n took it over, 1} @ outs /'S DANCES AND PLAY.

New Film at Keith’s | Announcement has been made by Manager Hardie Meakin of R-K-O Keith’s that “Imitation of Life,” the Universal film based on Fannie Hurst's story, will open tomorrow at this theater instead of on Friday, as previously an- nounced. The cast is headed by Claudette Colbert and Warren William. John M. Stahl directed. “STUDENT TOUR” IS SHOWING AT COLUMBIA Picture Starts Off Well and Then Travels a Long, Uninter- esting Course. M-G-M spent a good deal of time and money on “Student Tour,” which opened yesterday at Loew’s Columbia. A great many pretty girls were signed, Jimmie Durante and Charles Butter- worth were corralled as comedians, song writers got together and produced some good music, sets lavish enough to knock your eye out were built, and little Maxine Doyle and Phil Regan were vorrowed from Warner Bros. to play the “juvenile” leads. Then, something happened. The further along they got, the more they seemed to zet nowhere—and the story, something about an international race and getting the boys to row to | the beat of music, and a philosophy | course, and an ocean liner, and Miss Doyle singing the boys to victory— far from convincing. So, to help :natiers out, Nelson Eddy was yanked into the thing and made to thing in the film. It doesn’t seem right, being a loyal Doyle-ite, to say that Miss Doyle fails to be convincing. No girl, of course, | gets a fair chance if she has to play most of her business shrouded in glasses. When she comes out from under them she is as pretty as she actually is. But for the rest the di- | rector seems to have needlessly quieted | her down and to have removed that spark of the hoyden which is Maxine's | best attribute. Mr. Durante is continually unfunny, although Mr. Butterworth tries to help him along. You'll get some laughs | out of the latter and enjoy Phil Regan singing that *“Moon Over Your Shoul- der” number. But, to be quite truthful, “Student Tour” is pretty long and | pretty awful. E.de S. M. 'here and When Current Theater Attractions and Time of Showing. National—"Gather at 8:20 pm.

BY ALICE EVERSMAN, The first candlelight concert of the second season of the Washington Chamber Music Society took place yesterday at the home of Mrs. Edwin B. Parker. The personnel of the society this year is made up of Mr. Sevely, first violin; Mr. Goldscher, second violin; Mr. Essers, viola; Mr. Mitchell, cello, and Gertrude Nash, pianist. The audience which usually pat- ronizes this less spectacular form of music are real lovers of music, for in no form of presentation can one enjoy the true flavor of music as when listening to four well blended string instruments. The Washington Chamber Music Society has added a telling bit of atmosphere by playing | under the subdued light of candles, and at yesterday's concert it was easy to imagine oneself back in an- other century when nobles patrons of this type of music made a practice of gathering their guests together in a similar atmosphere to listen to the latest work of some famous com- poser, As if seeking to adjust their playing to the aesthetic scene, the four artists gave special attention to tone quality, achieving a sweetness of sound and a smoothness of harmony throughout that was far removed from the over dramatic effects of these modern day. This particular quality, which was 5o beautifully expressive in yesterday's program, would not always fit in to a wider ranging among the literature of chamber music. However, for the exquisite “Quartet op. 13, No. 2, by | Beethoven; the “Intermezzo,” by | Ippolitoff-Ivanow, and the “Entr'acte No. 2.” by Schubert, it was a perfect medium of projection and the four players further demonstrated their ar- tistic understanding in unison of in- tention and technical adjustability. In Pochon’s quartet arrangement of Moussorgsky's “‘Promenade” from the “Petite Suite,” one missed a certain solidity as tonal foundation and a lack of correct pictorization, which | this opening number of the suite pro- vides for what is to follow. Again, in the Dohnanyi “Quintet op. I" the dramatic fire would not have been realized without the viril leading of Gertrude Nash at the piano. Mrs. ! Nash, in the two movements of the Quintet, which were given, “Adagio quasi andante” and “Allegro animato,” brought out the contrasting moods and carried the concert to an eloquent finish. The large audience demon- strating by its numbers the interest mn this young organization, paid the artists the compliment of undivided | attention and appreciative npplnuse‘ at the end of each performance. The Washington Chamber Music | Society has something new to offer to | the city’s music circles and no better | evidence of a realization of this can be had than the distinguished group who are sponsoring the concerts and the size of yesterday's audience. The next concert will take place January 14 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank | Frost.

C, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1934, “FLIRTATION WALK” AT METROPOLITAN The Star Film of Trip to Santa Claus Land Screened Today and Tomorrow. Take a trip to the Metropolitan and find out for yourself why every one who has seen “Flirtation Walk"” is extolling it to the skies as a grand film in which Dick Powell has his best role to date, and in which Frank Borzage disvlays an amazing knack for intermingling in the correct pro- portion music, comedy and a bit of a tug_at the heart. “Flirtation Walk” is built around a more or less simple tale of a private in the Army who sets out for West Point to show a girl and her in- tended flance tnat he can be an of- ficer and a gentleman. There are plenty of sprigntly moments. With Dick Powell, Ruby Keeler and Pat O’Brien working together, there would have to be. But Mr. Borzage inter- jects deeply dramatic interludes with most effective suddenness. The scene where Dick bids his sergeant-buddy, a hard boiled but touching farewell at Honolulu, and those final graduation shots are among the more high- powered episodes. In this film Mr. Powell of course sings, but he also proves he is some- what of an actor, doing’ an almost perfect job in an almost perfect role. 1t is Pat O'Brien, however, who turns in the stand-out performance as the very tough sergcant. Today and tomorrow provide the last opportunities to give the chil- dren the time of their lives by let- ting them witness the exciting ad- ventures of Capt. Kleinschmidt on The Star’s Expedition to Santa Claus Land. They will be thrilled (and you may, too) as the motion picture, “The Search for Santa Claus,” takes them on the journey with Capt to the Arctic home of Santa Claus, through his great work- shops, to the observatory where he keeps watch on children all over the world, and finally on the Christmas eve journey. There aiso is on the Metropolitan bill a tuneful Merrie Melody short with fine color and more than a few | chuckles. TWO DIE IN SNOW Midwestern States Are Partially Buried Under Fall. ST.
