Saturday he sat back stage in his Earle Theater dressing room and dis- cussed this idea, and the more he dis- cussed it the more he seemed to like it, and by the time his visitor had left he was practically on fire with it. So in the Fall, after he has made » pilgrimage out West, stopping at all major cities and a few tank towns and eventually landing in Hollywood. where he will pour sweet music into the willing ears of the Harlows, the| Garbos and the lesser fry, after he has done all this, he will return to! the Potomac and set up his piano! wherever there is room for such a thing. * ok ok % R. DUCHIN is a modest young | man with a ready grin, a vast emount of common sense and no am- bition to go into the movies. “I'm nof, going into the movies,” he sald, “for | the simple reason t Tm not an| actor.” Such a theory being unheard | of these days. Mr. Duchin was im- mediately set down by his questioner as a good guy. i As a matter of fact, Mr. Duchin is probably the easiest man in the world | to interview. He talks, and he talks as well and as fast as his fingers do | on the keyboard.

E. Cochran. Mr. Cochran was as excited ss a 2-year-old about this when he spoke of it vesterday. He was also loud in praise of Miss Barrymore, “Now there’s a wonderful person,” said he— and he meant it—not just because | she was going to tour for him, but because she had been so courteous and whatnot during her stay here‘ as guest star with the National | Players. | * ok ok % THE EVENING STAR.

Fairbanks Due to Become Producer in U. A. Crisis| Star Holds Deciding Vote in Hollywood Firm's| Situation—Woman Dancer Equal to | ‘Astaire Found. BY MOLLIE MERRICK. | OLLYWOOD. June 10 (N.A.N.A.).—United Artists studios face | a crisis, with Douglas Fairbanks holding the deciding vote | I I in the situation. Fairbanks is rushing toward Hollywood by | yacht, airplane and ocean liner from Java, where he halted a round-the-world cruise on hearing that a bid had been made for | the moment she enters the stage, and P-m. Stage sho her exotic and highly individualized angular dance, set her far ahead of almost all of the performers in her line. She's a crazily performing sort of a person, but she has that certain something. The Carroll Sisters also have an individuality which sets them apart and far up toward the head of the list. This pair of platinum topped captivators still would be the best sis- ter team in burlesque if there were | twice as many sister {eams in bur- lesque. They make three enthusias tically received appearances this tim specialty artist is Kitty Norris, a tall, slim and handsome person of no little charm, who knows well the ways of | | her calling, and in so knowing, gains much favor. Cynthia Michel con- tributes a pleasant personality and some graceful dancing to the proceed- ings. Comedy, too, 1 plentiful and well done. Mike Sachs and Freddie Binder have teamed together again, and ap- pear here in some of the most boister- ous and obstreperous slapstick. Each of these boys is good when on his own, 50 when they appear jointly, anything is liable to happen. The result is sure- fire. They are assisted in no little degree by Alice Kennedy, burlesque’s best straight-woman. Also present and greeted with cheers by those who | his share in the organization. | The outcome of the situation will make Fairbanks a producer, | either on the U. A. lot or elsewhere. The owners of United Artist: Pickford, Charles Chaplin, Joseph Art Finance Corp. Miss Pickford, Chaplin and Goldwyn always s are Douglas Fairbanks, Mary | Schenck, Sam Goldwyn and the E saw them last week are Jimmy Pinto and Matty Della, a pair of Italian dialecticians who gag in a hilarious | manner and who are accomplished musicians. Matty plays a variety of stringed instruments in fine fashion and Jimmy makes a cello effect in the vote the same way. Schenck and Art Finance vote.together. This | most astounding manner. leaves Fairbanks generally holding the balance of power. If the bidder for Fairbanks’ stock, ‘who is unknown at present, succeeds in buying him out of United Artists, Fairbanks will make enough money on the deal to enable him to become | ® producer when and where he wishes. ‘This has long been known to be his | embition, 1 It the stockholders’ meeting June 22 is satisfactory to Pairbanks and he decides not to sell, the chances are | he will make pictures here in Holly- | wood on his home lot. | — | Movies have found what they have | lorig been searching for—a woman | who can dance like Fred Astaire. Her name is Eleanor Powell, and vou are | going to hear from her in a big way. Not only can Eleanor Powell dance Sn a manner to.take your breath away—and if you saw “Follow Thru” on the New York stage or George White’s Scandals in the movies, you’ll get what I mean—but she's pretty and feminine and looks lovely while dancing. " Tap-dancing excellence is deter- mined by the sharpness and quality of each individual tap. Even when the dance is muted down to a mere nothing, each tap must be as sharp and clear as the click of a telegraph key. Fred Astaire has this down to perfection—but 50 has Eleanor Powell. Movie men, hearing how Eleanor Powell won. her laurels in New. York, have incorporated a dance trial scene into the “Broadway Melody of 1936,” which is the picture you will see her in next. Judges listen to tap-dancing appli- eants from below the floor on which they dance—this in order not-to be confounded by personality, . smiles, silhouette, or mere personal preference. Fleanor Powell was. chosen for ex- cellence in such & manner. Imagine the judges' surprise when they found their choice to be a beauty, a charmer, & girl with what-it-takes. | Young Michael Bartlett has. ful- filled his promise. When this singer came to Hollywood, those who knew him prophesied a tremendous future. He was cast as leading man for Grace Moore, and rumor has it that he has eclipsed this star in the recent musical which Victor Schertzinger made. Now that was not the intention— after all, Grace Moore is the star of the picture, and stars must be pro- tected. When-Pred Astaire appeared with Joan Crawford in a dancing number and danced rings around this star, who was put on the cutting room floor? . .. Not Joan Crawford! S000000000. Young Michael may not appear in quite as much footage as he shot. But this year is going to see a 3ot of new names in Hollywood skies, and Michael Bartlett is bound to be one of them. Friends of the two say Marlene Dietrich will divorce Rudolph Sieber and marry Brian Ahearne. This seems 10 be a true romance which originated in the days when the beautiful Mar- lene played “Song of Songs” with . Bouben Mamoulian directing, and | | {4n itsaf Brian Ahearne was so thrilled about | her that he didn't give his ususl ex- | cellent performance . . . For which he may be forgiven. The lady is lovely | enough to warrant it. (opyright. 1935, by the North Americsn Newspaper Alliance. Inc.) Armixtein PIANIST WINS APPRECIATION IN HIS RECITAL BY ALICE EVERSMAN. WILLIAM JOSEPH HOLDEN, who | for the past two years has re- | ceived a teacher's diploma and bachelor of music degree at the Washington College of Music, gave his artist diploma recital Saturday evening at the college. Mr. Holden was presented by Fanny Amstutz | Roberts and Edwin Hughes, and his | program scheduled Beethoven's “32 Variations on an Original Theme in C_ Min Schumann’s “Fashings- schwank aus Wien,” Brahms’ “Cap- pricio, Op. 116, No. 7”; .“Intermezzo No. 6" “Rhapsodie, Op. 79, No. 1”; Scriabin’s “Poem Satanique,” Cow- ell's “Floating,” from “Six Ings.” and Guion’s “The Harmonica Player,” from “Alley Tunes.” That Mr. Holden has an earnest feeling for the masters he in and a sincere aspiration toward art was evident throughout his playing of the evening. As yet, his ideas are not fully colored by individuality, nor does he give himself .up ‘to the influence of the music sufficiently to extract all the inner sentiment with convincing power. While his tech- nical efficiency is equal to the musical demands, it lacks the brilliancy which & more positive personal feeling would give. ‘He follows the accepted plan of interpretation with fidelity, which is excellent and not easy of accomplishment. With this as a basis, his further progress is assured when he concentrates on originality and freedom. ‘The Beethoven “Variations,” the Scriabin “Poem’ ‘and Guion's “Har- monica Player” contained the great- est brilliancy and variety, with Schu- mamm’s “Vienna Carnival Scene” also well modulated -in effect. In such numbers as the three works of Brahms, Mr. Holden has not yet dis- covered the secret of making a sub- dued passage interesting. But in summarizing Mr, Holden’s work, one is not conscious that he has, by any means, reached the limit of his pos- sibilities, and one senses in him the power to acquire the final polish of & fine virtuoso. ¥ His reception by a large and in- terested audience was a hearty one, in which there was more evidence of real appreciation of sincere endeavor than mere friendly applause. Mr. Holden is a pianist with a future, when he has discovered the latent possibilities within himself, and should have much to offer in further appearances, | for use on the first burglar entering | “Powder Puff Revue” is the name of the current attraction, by the way and .. it makes any difference. attractively staged, effectively lighted and has, in addition to the talented | persons listed above, some neat pro- duction numbers done by a handsome chorus.

The scenes were more or separate entities, each of the | first three, the opening in the garden, which belenged to the conirary lass named Mary who raised silver bells | and cockle shells and pretty maids; the second, “On the Good Ship Lolly- pop,” and the third, “In a Winter ‘Wonderland.” being developed.around its own individual theme. All of the dancers displayed a cer- i tain amount of talent and. hinted at | a 1ot of hard work in training, in their | contributions to the terpsichorean'pa- rade, ' Various types of choreography— tap, acrobatic and ballet—were em- | ployed to entertain the audience, | though tap dancing predominated. | The most notable -individual perform- ance in ‘the review probably was that of young Herbert Sprecher, who pre- sented a tip-top acrobatic-lap number in the first scene. ‘Other numbers which stood out were “Over, the Hurdles” by Ethel Hoffman, “Glow Worm"” by by Miss Hoffman, | Louise Ridgew. “Semaphore” | Dorothy Johnson, “Raggin’ the Waves” | by Miss.
