AMUSEMENTS. Special Christmas Fare At Downtown Theaters “The Little Minister," ‘Forsaking All Others,’ “Peck's Bad Boy" and "Babes in Toyland“ " Open Tomorrow. OMORROW you get a whole new raft of films for Christ- mas. The Warner Bros. man- agement will present a piece about an unruly, but golden- hearted youngster known as “Peck’s Bad Boy.” The Loew's people plan to drape your cinematic Yule tree with two offerings. One, called “For- saking All Others,” was once seen here with Tallulah Bankhead at the National, and will route funny Mr. Fields cut of the Palace on Christmas morning. The other concerns two dizzy toymakers and all the people you met in the story, “Mother Goose.” It comes to the Columbia with Vic- tor Herbert's music and is entitled “Babes in Toyland.” The last, but by no means the least generous, donation comes from Hardie Meakin of R-K-O Keith’s. He brings La Hepburn in “The Little Minister.” Somewhere in that ample basket of entertainment there undoubtedly is your perfect hors d'ouerve for the start of a gay weck. Two of the pic- tures are planned especially for chil- dren and imported now because this time of year is somehow the spacial property of the youngsters. That pair nevertheless has appeal for every one. The other two are likewise possessed of broad charms, except that “Farsak- ing” is meant for adults. Here is the line-up, taken in slightly Teverse order from the above: “The Little Minister.” Katharine Hepburn in Sir James M. Barrie's fa- mous love story. Barrie with the cus- tomary sweetness and more light. Should be & set-up for Miss Hepburn'’s talents, “Forsaking All Others.” Another M-G-M triple threat team, Clark Gable, Joan Crawford and Robert Mqptgomery. Sophisticated, funny and romantic doing among the silk hat set. Presents the only known movie bride ever to be left at the altar. None other than Miss Crawford, too. “Babes in Toyland.” Ollie Dee and Stannie Dum, sometimes known as Laurel and Hardy, in a clever, artistic filming of Victor Herbert's score anent Little Bo-Peep, the Bogey Man, the Three Little Pigs and other leading citizens of fairyland. Exciting pig- napping in it. A cinch for the kiddies and lots of fun for you. “Peck’s Bad Boy.” Jackie Cooper In the classic tale of a lovable rascal, with Thomas Meighan playing the adult lead and Jackie Searl helping to liven up the boy’s doings. Another sure bet for the small fry, and will re- mind you of your own prankish days, you wag. Now, who says there's no Santa Claus in Hollywood? * X X % KATE SMITH arrives Friday for auditions to select two local per- formers for her new broadcasting unit. The winners will also get engagemepts at Loew's Fox, one playing four ddys beginning January 4, the other four days starting on the 7th. Tests will be anybody at all. Open to the town. * %k * X L] N!:W YORK, it seems, still likes its Shakespeare, its Katharine Cor- nell, or the combination of both, for before Miss Cornell opened her New York season with “Romeo and Juliet” at the Martin Beck Theater last Thursday, the advance ticket sales! had totaled more than $21,000. After the opening the eloquent actress dis- covered that New York critles also like their Shakespeare and their Cor- nell, Burns Mantle of the New York Daily News even going so far as to credit the current first lady of the theater with the right to be heralded as the greatest Juliet of her time. Also gaining notice in Miss Cornell's “Romeo and Juliet” are a pair of chaps who, at different times of course, played Robert Browning to her Elizabeth Barrett in “The Bar- Tetts of Wimpole Street,” Basil Rath- bone and Brian Aherne. Rathbone, the present sincere and impassioned Romeo, played Robert during the Ru- dolf Besier play's tour of the coun- try, and is to be seen again in the role this Winter during a limited en- gagement of the drama in New York. Aherne was Miss Cornell’s first Rob- ert during the New York run last year, and he plays the gay and gal- lant Mercutio in the Shakespearean piece. Al in all, Katharine Cornell's adventure in Shakespeare is reported to be a worthwhile bit of theater. * k Xk X MORE verification of facts which seemed too good to be true. From L. Stoddard Taylor, man: ger of the Belasco, comes word that the cast of the Belasco Art Theater Society has arrived from New York, making the trip yesterday by train, auto or any other means of trans- port handy. They open a week from tonight, as you must know, with A. E. Thomas’ “No More Ladies.” * ok ok X AIDNG with “Peck’s Bad Boy,” the Metropolitan is presenting tomor- row the first of a series of short sub- jects worthy of mention—"See Amer- ica First.” The films, produced by Vitaphone, photographed by E. M. Newman and orally described by John B. Kennedy, essay to depict the story of America from Plymouth Rock to today, by taking you on a film jour- ney to historic spots of your home- land. “Pilgrim Days” is the first re- lease. for instrumentalists, comics, llnm’ * ok % ok “THE RIGHT TO LIVE” the la- test vehicle of Washington's own Josephine Hutchinson, is ready for release, according to announce- ment from Warner Brothers. The film, with “Jo” and George Brent featured, is an adaptation of a story by Somer- set Maugham, and it will be one of the better screen dramas of the season if it lives up to Warner hopes.

BY MOLLIE MERRICK. Only that comparatively H OLLYWOOD, Calif, December 24 draws near the close of its seventh year of talking pictures. (N.AN.A.).—Hollywood short time ago our films were hailed as “100 per cent talkie,” as pictures having “sound sequences,” or as stories with “sound effects.” In England, of course, they went us one better and called them “audibles.” Today the smoothness and clarity with which voices are re- corded are in keeping with the technical strides the camera has made during these seven years. Even those who called the first sound films “screamies,” and predicted utter failure for the studios that adopted them, take the finished product as a matter of course and tell their amusing stories about the old “silents.” Great stars have been acclaimed as & result of this era in motion pictures, but perhaps the greatest change of all has been wrought in Hollywood itself. Some of the greatest names of the time have passed in and out of its cinema portals during the past few years. In fact, Hollywood has been host to more outstanding talent than any other quarter during the last half century. Some have left a definite mark en route; others came and left without ever hitting their stride, and a great many have remained to add their talents to the screen. George Bernard Shaw, that enfant terrible of English letters, was one of those who came to make a big splurge and didn’t cause so much as a ripple on the cinema surface. Shaw didn't come to show Hollywood how things should be done, but his visit neverthe- less was a disappointment. Dorothy Parker, that superclever person who writes poetry, humorous sketches or short stories with equal facility, spent a season in Hollywood a few years ago and then fled in terror back to New York, where her stories of the movie village were the talk of the town. Life in the motion picture capital was too much for her, and she admitted it. But that was three or four years ago. Today she is back here, ap- parently happily working for the movies. She has found work that is congenial to her and will add some of her priceless lyrics to “Twp on a ‘Tower,” the scenario she is now pre- paring for Mary Ellis, the singing agt- ress recently signed by Paramount. Sergei Eisenstein came to Hollywood and made a vast impression with his picture, “Thunder Over Mexico.” The photography in this film is perhaps the loveliest even to reach the screen. So, for this if nothing else, the Rus- sian’s lone effort here was by no means & failure, Josef von Sternberg’s genius %m: the camera is & permanent thing in motion pictures, and much of the suc- cess of his films is due to the ex- quisite photographic effects in them. ‘Theodore Dreiser tried to do busi- mess with the motion picture pro- ducers, but departed in a huff when his demands were nct met at once. He is one of the masters of literature who do better to have some one else attend to the details of everyday af- fairs. Hendrik van Loon, literary his- torian, has been in Hollywood, but stayed ‘only long enough to call the town a welter of “Jeromes,” whatever that is. And H. L. Mencken took but one good look around and then fled North to recover behind brownstone front of San Francisco’s Bohemian Club. Ben Hecht, whose “Erik Dorn” is named in Modern Classics, is one of those who couldn't get along in Holly- wood, so he went to Mexico to write scenarios in peace and has recently 3 » * » » uui organized his own production unit in the East, making his second pic- ture, “Once in a Blue Moon,” with that pathetic clown, Jimmy Savo, at the helm of a distinctive cast. Franz Lehar, Viennese composer, came to Hollywood to supervise musi- cal direction of “The Merry Widow.” He is about to present a new operetta. in Europe and may return here to film it. Oscar Strauss, the “Choco- late Soldier” composer, passed through Hollywood when musicals were in their cycle. He didn't remain, but certainly left his impression on the advanced melody trend now in vogue. Every one recalls Max Reinhardt's first visit to Hollywood. That re- nowned producer, with an entourage fit for a king, came to the gelatin village, looked around and then estab- lished himself at a smart hotel at Palm Springs, some four hours away from the studios. He waited for Hollywood to come to him, and, when it didn’t, he took a dignified depar- ture. That was about five years ago, Today he is back in our midst, hard at work making “A Mid-Summer Night's Dream,” at Warner Bros. Studio. The once-remote Reinhardt is how easy of access to his cowerkers, charm- ing to interviewers, and a positive de- light to the camera men. He's the art of the screen a lot more seri- ously than he did before, Hugh Walpole nmade his first visit to American studios this year and added his talents to the preduction of “David Copperfield”; sold his novel, “Vanessa,” which is now being filmed; and ar- ranged for his latest book, “Captain Nicholas,” to be made into a picture next Spring. Not so bad for one visit. No wonder Walpole plans to return in a few months. Such names as Rupert Hughes, Thornton Wilder, 8. S. Van Dyne and P: G. Wodehouse might all be blazoned forth on today’s motion picture screens. as they've all taken their turns at dialogue writing or sold novels or films, ! Christmas § Dance Dec. 25-10 P.M. to 1 AM.

New English Singers in Program of Holiday Music Vocalists Heard at Library of Congress Satutday Afternoon——Handcl' s "The Messiah™ at Central High School Yesterday. BY ALICE EVERSMAN, Congress Saturday afternoon was a pleasant surprise at this holiday time. Their program, of course, was composed mostly of Christmas carols sung only as this splendid ensemble can sing. There has been a change in personnel since the last visit of these singers to ‘Washington, the new group being made up of Dorothy Silk, Nellie Car- son, Mary Norris, David Brynley, Norman Notley and Cuthbert Kelly. Perhaps this was the reason that one missed some of the perfect unison that the original singers had worked out to such a fine degree, for the suave line of harmony and effect were not as pronounced as one had been led to expect from former perform- ances of these English visitors. How- ever, there is no other group who can equal them in perfection of intona- tion, diction and phrasing. The voices are frezth and pure, especially the sopranos, and in the finishing of a song with a sustained harmony the ear.is charmed with the sheer beauty of sound of a well-blended ensemble. ‘The first part of the program, which was broadcast, contained the beau- tiful sixteenth century “Angelus ad Pastores,” by Jan Sweelinck, as well as his “Hodie Christus natus est,” both sung in Latin, and two modern HE concert of the New English I Singers at the Library of ,jcarols, “I Sing of & Maiden,” by Martin Shaw, and Gustave Holst's “Lullay My Liking. His very diffi- cult “Midwinter,” the poem by Christina Rosetti, showed more than any other number the ability to sustain a perfect pitch which these singers do so easily, while a new arrangement of “The Holly and the 1Ivy,” by Rutland Boughton; “Sing We Noel Once More,” by David Stanley- Smith of Harvard University end “Corpus Chriti,” by Peter Warlock, completed the numbers that were heard over the air. Mr. Kelly added interest to the rendition of Thomas Bateson’s “Have I Found Her” and “The Nightingale” by a short biographical sketch of this little known composer. The text of “Have I Found Her” was written by 8ir Philip Sidney, who added to his many eccomplishments s note. worthy gift of poesy. “The Nightin- gale,” sung by the two sopranos and tenor, was a beautiful example of pure singing, the voices being exceptionally well adapted one to the other. A group of folk songs arranged by Vaughay Williams and three carols arranged by Williams, Martin Shaw and Robert Pearsall completed the program. Without any audible means of find- ing the pitch, the singers begin their numbers with a simplicity and sure- ness that is intriguing. Seated in- formally around a table, the ease with which they sing the intricate har- mony of an epecially planned program makes one forget the fine art that is the foundation of their perform- ance. The popularity and appeal of this unique organization filled the au- ditorium on a day that was full of other demands. While Christmas carols are sung by every ensemble at this time of the year, the English singers bring a finer comprehension as well as a finer art to the interpre- tation of this charming but difficult branch of song literature, * k x X IN THE presentation of Handel's “The Messiah” yesterday after- noon at Central High School the Washington Oratorio Society far out- did its performance of last year. Under the able leadership of George F. Mrs. K’s Toll House Tavern Colesville Pike Silver Spring. Maryland HOLIDAY MENUS From the Market’s most palatable and attractive Joods will be served daily “Old Tavern's” Dining Rooms from now on into the New Year. REGISTER TODAY For the Family or Special Guests Kortzenborn, the chorus gave a spir- ited and smooth performance and the soloists fitted in to a greater degree with the type of voice and interpreta- tion needed for oratorio. The 30-piece orchestra, assisted by Marjorie Davis at the piano, added a virile quality, although the tonal vol- ume and feeling for nuance were not as well worked out as might be. The orchestra was made up of young play- ers, many, possibly, without great ex- perience in such difficult undertakings as oratorio interpretations, and they are therefore more to be commended for the general excellence and the few number of slips in attack and intonation. Their reading of the “Pastoral Symphony” was a decided improvement over that of last year. The soloists were Florence Sindell, soprano; Elsie Sutter Radle, contralto; Wilfred Smith, tenor, and Ridgeway Taylor, baritone. Although the voices seemed somewhat lacking in strength in the large auditorium, the singers adhered to the oratorio style and gave the solos with an underscoring of the devotional content. In some of the numbers the accompaniment was sustained at the organ by Ger- trude Dyre. More singers are needed in both sections of the men’s voices to ade- quately balance the soprano and con- traltos. The improvement in style and sureness was so marked over last year that one can predict & finer feeling for color as the chorus grows in knowledge and experience. The magnificent choral climaxes for which “The Messiah” is famous and the inspiration of idea contained therein will be better stressed as the chorus | gains confidence and pliability. Yes- terday’s presentation was enjoyable for its technical sureness and musical quality and puts the Oratorio Society in the front rank of local endeavor in this line. Mr. Kortzenborn is a capable leader and has done much with the material at hand. CANNED SOUP FOR YULE Delicacy to Be Floated to “Tin Can” Island From Liner. SAN FRANCISCO (#).—“Tin Can” Island, Niafoou, in the Tongas, is to have canned tomato soup for Christ- mas dinner. Chief Officer P. E.

Jimmy Kake is just about the hap- piest person in Washington this week, for he has induced the blond Hinda ‘Wausau to make her first appearance in burlesque after a long stay at a New York night club. Hinda at one time was without compare as a spe- clalty artist, and at the Gayety this ‘week she attacks her numbers in a gay and flamboyant manner which indi- cates she wants to be known again as the leading lady of burlesque. “Honky Tonk,” the revue with which Miss Wausau is the added attraction, offers the young lady plenty of com- petition when it comes to entertain- ing, providing some of fhe best comedy seen at the Ninth street house in months. Ralph Walton and Pred “Falls” Binder take the lead in the buffoonery, with Lou Devine, who has less to do, not far behind. Straight roles are taken by James X. Francis and Charles Schultz, which means the comedians have plenty of able as- sistance. Milt Bronson dances and sings. Marty Gallimore and Dean Newton are featured vocalists. Leaders among the feminine con- tingent are Mary Brown and Mary Ellis, Miss Brown being a very pleasant specialty artist, and Miss Ellis singing in a personable manner, dancing and giving interpretations of Mae West and Zasu Pitts. Her wavering Zasu is fine and es up for the deficiencies of the try at Miss West. Others are Joan Collette and Jewel Southern. In other departments, too, “Honky Tonk” is a well-done burlesque show. Col. Lake's scenic stage arrangements are splendid and the Bryanettes éven almost know their routines. H.M. Current Theater Attractions and Time of Showing.
