AMUSEMENTS. THE EVENING Coward Looks for a Tear|Picture Has In His First Starring Film “The Scoundrel” Presents Famous Author in Unique Situation at Palace—Ina Ray Hutton and College Film at Earle, BY E. de S. MELCHER. chiefly to the written word had best haste to the Palace this week where he is playing in “The Scoundrel.” ‘Written for him with THOSE who suspect that Noel Coward’s talents are confined an amazing Cowardian tang Hecht and MacArthur, the picture by those rough-house boys, Messrs. presents him as a rogue, a rascal and a villain—and at the same time as a thoroughly likable person. Even when he is busy “rattling six times like a snake” he is a pleasant fellow—and the fact that nobody cries for him when he dies doesn’t geem probable in the least. It is this after-death crying jag that upsets the picture—and prevents it from being the 100 per cent success that it might otherwise have been. The first part is witty and wise and so different from any previous film that you wonder if it really was made dn Long Island and not in some in- tellectual Tyrolian country where they had been making pictures of this type without anybody knowing about it for years. At any rate, it deserves attention, even if its humor is brittle, its satire biting, its people mad and its theme both a little brutal and startling. Mr. Coward appears as an eminently suc- cessful publisher who treats his clients like his lady friends—very badly in- deed. When he decides that he no longer cares for a girl friend he tells her very definitely that he is bored to death with her and bows her out with little ceremony and no manners. No matter how the lady may still feel for him, he tosses her out and at the same time tosses the next one in. And thus it goes until he makes the mistake of following Hope Williams to Bermuda in a plane (she hadn't gone there at all), and dies ingloriously in a patch of ocean and seaweed. Thereafter we have the dolorous scene of Mr. Coward wandering around the earth looking for that one little tear which alone will make his death sleep easy. For 30 days he trudges up and down Manhattan streets until finally in a burst of gun- powder, rage, love and hate (divided between Julie Hayden, Stanley Ridges and Mr. Coward) he finds his little tear and presumably shoots up to heaven, or down to the other place, with less discomfort than he had otherwise imagined. Mr. Coward plays his role very, very well, indeed, and Julie Hayden is also splendid as his umpty-umph love. Hope Williams is very bad as the lady Chopin and Stanley Ridges (well known to Washingtonians) is very good before he shoots himself. Alex- ander Woolcott looks and acts lke a naughty boy throughout. * Kk ¥k THE boys and girls were not overly polite to “College Scandal” yes- terday in its first showing at the Earle. When, for instance, Mary Nash darted out of bed and flew down those stairs in her nightie and naked feet, remarks were made that were not at all respectful either to her acting or to the film. Later, however, when the hero and heroine climbed into a rumble seat and the lady threw her arms around the gentleman there was con- siderable applause—which goes to show that the audience may not have meant what they said about Miss Nash at all. “College Scandal” is, frankly, not a great film. It gives Paramount’s younger players, however, a chance to air their small talents. Thus we see handsome Wendy Barrie in a longer role than any she has had since she started out with a bang as one of Henry VIII's wives last season. Ar- line Judge running around as a baby Sherlock Holmes, Eddie Nugent as the hero who almost gets hung with a rcpe and Johnny Downs as the young Schubert who, in the middle of sing- ing Robert Montgomery's favorite song, “In the Middle of the Night” (this we got from the radio the other day) gets it in the neck. Other young Paramount players bob in and out— all trying to solve the murders of three of their group—a situation which should, of course, have put the college permanently out of business. * K X % INA RAY HUTTON is the real rea- son why people are flocking to the Earle this week. Miss Hutton is the most unusual orchestra leader in the world. She works harder over her jazz than Dr. Kindler does over his Wagner. Not only does she work hard; she changes her dress three times—appearing first in a glistening gold creation, then in a white and silver something and finally in shell pink—all of which is very stimulating, indeed. ‘When Miss Hutton raises her baton the audience becomes quiet, tense, breathless. When she begins to move around, the audience becomes even more quiet, tense and breathless—and finally when she sways, wiggles, bends, leaps, jumps, stretches, taps, kicks, shakes and wriggles the audience is practically numb with admiration. Yesterday, Miss Hutton had only to wiggle her little finger and the audi- ence fell at her feet. In spite of the fact that at one point a very strange assortment of noises came from her “Melodears” she was a continual winged sort of a victory. We believe she could lead the Philharmonic and get away with it! Jack Pepper has a good act at the Earle this week, too—what with Terry Howard and Sammy Cantor to help him. Selden and Erdler open the bill. DAILY SHORT STORY- JUNGLE LAND BY RUSSELL HARDY. SEVERAL of us fellows were [ alongside the rail- road tracks some- to take us—well, anywhere. Conver- sation was desul- tory for a while, but the yarn-spin- ning instinct was strong in all of us and very soon we were into a discus- sion, with exam- ples, of what the novelists would call “life’s little iron- fes.” That may sound funny, but the guys you meet on the road nowa- days are as likely to be thoughtful as anybody else. More so. Depres- sions do funny things to people. We'd each told a tale and pointed the moral, all except one—a long, skinny fellow, who kept staring into the fire. “How about you, Aesop?” I said to him. “Ain’t you got a fable?” “Yeah,” he said, still staring into the fire, “I got one.” “Well, spill it,” I said, after a min- ute of silence. He didn’t look up as he spoke: “It’s an ordinary enough story with ordinary characters. I knew the guy pretty well. Thornton his name was, Bob Thornton. He was a bank teller in a good-sized town in the Middle West. He had a wife, a home and some money saved. And pretty soon he was told he would have a son or @& daughter. “That made him happy, because he wanted a son or a daughter very much. A son came. But he came— dead. That was tough, this guy Thorn- ton thought, very tough. But he still had his wife, so he wasn't too bitter about having lost the baby. He loved his wife. “She’d almost died having the baby. But she’d pulled through somehow and now Thornton hoped she’d get ‘well and strong. She didn’t, though. Bhe got steadily worse. She needed the care of good doctors. “That took money, and the money Thornton had saved was soon all gone. “Thornton went to the only place he knew of to get money. the bank he worked in. He took small amounts at first, as he needed it. I told you this was an ordinary story. “But his wife still didn’t get well, “We'd each told a tale” in case he was needed. “They let him see his wife a mo- ment. She could hardly speak. But she managed to whisper: ‘Tl get well, Bob, for your sake. Then we'll be free to—" She couldn't finish the sentence. Thorn- ton left the room with blurred eyes. ‘Free?’ he thought, | ’and right now the examiners are—1I" “In the waiting room they told him there’d been a call from the bank. ‘Very urgent,’ & nurse told him. “They wanted to know if they could reach you here. I told them I thought you would be here quite a while.” “Thornton thought quickly. He couldn’t let them take him yet. Not until he was sure about the opera- tion—how it would turn out. “He said to the nurse: ‘I'll have to leave for a while. Business. Il phone from time to time for news. His hat was on; he walked toward the door. “‘Where ean we reach you?' the nurse called after him. He didn’t answer, but hurried out. “As he turned the corner a car pulled up in front of the hospital. He recognized the president of the bank and several whose names he didn't know but whose errand he could guess. He walked rapidly away. ‘They hadn’t seen him. “For hours he tramped the streets where he wouldn’t be known. He glimpsed a headline in an evening paper under the arm of a passer-by: Bank Teller Sought in— He ::u!dn’t see the rest. He didn’t need “It was late in the night when he called the hospital. He fancied he saw recognition in the face of the clerk in the drug store he called from, but he had to take the chance. “‘I'm calling to inquire about Mrs. Thornton,” he said, trying to keep his voice firm. ‘This is—ea friend. “‘One moment, please,’ a voice an- swered, rather excitedly he thought. ‘The next voice that spoke was & Impressive Sentiment “Keeper of the Bees” at Keith’s Effective in Rare Way. A PICTURE without jazz and with- out & “triangle,” yet filled with situations which bring tears, and for every tear at least one laugh. Such is “A Keeper of the Bees” which began a week’s stay at R-K-O Keith's yes- terday. The story is familiar to all lovers of Gene Stratton-Porter’s novels and the picture mars none of the sturdy, fine characters around which she built her book. In place of noise and complex situa- tions of modern life, as well as modern novels, the picture shows the beauty and the value of the simple philosophy and faith of all believers in a Father of all who “cures all aillments.” ‘The people in the film are human beings and there are few who will be unable to recognize the fine character of at least one member of their family in Margaret Cameron, played so well by Emma Dunn, or the real keeper of the bees, Old Soldier, portrayed by Hobart Bosworth, or his successor, Jamie. The picture clearly shows that those who “live close to nature” lack the veneer of their city-bred brothers, but have much of what is commonly called platitudes, which when put into practice makes more agreeable hu- mans of us. Edith Fellowes, as the Little Scout, does excellent acting and makes a lovable little tom-boy.. Neil Hamilton, as Jamie, gracefully accepts his job as keeper of the bees when he had started for Chicago and six months of jollification. Betty Furness makes an attractive “lady with the blue eyes” and Helen Jerome Eddy is a splendid nurse. “The Keeper of the Bees” is a de- lightful picture, containing not a little information on the fascinating subject of bees, their habits and use- fulness, without being academic. The settings are effective and the scenery beautiful, and those who see it will feel refreshed, though there are no thrills, but plenty of wholesome “food” for thought. Customary news reels of Pathe are shown with slow-motion pictures of champion women divers and an amus- ing cinecolor, “Merry Kittens,” as well as Juliet Howell's Dumbell Let- ters. K B. s MARINE CORPS UNIT GOES TO CAMP SOON 500 Residents of D. C. and Area to Spend Fifteen Days at Quantico, Va. Starting August 4, 500 residents of the District, nearby Maryland and Vir- ginia will go into training under service conditions under canvas at Quantico, Va., as members of the 5th Battalion, Fleet Marine Corps Reserve. The camp will last for 15 days. Maj. Harvey L. Miller, commanding the outfit, said today the forthcominf exercises will be “the most advanced schedule ever attempted by a Reserve outfit.” The local group is described as the largest Marine Reserve bat- talion in the United States. Outstanding among the exercises at Quantico will be the combat problem on August 13, in which air forces will be engaged in mimic warfare; the bush warfare problem on August 12, with the Marines going through narrow paths and defiles, almost inaccessible except in single file; the landing force problem, with air support, on the afternoon of August 15; competitive drills, award of trophies, battalion parade on the afternoon of August 17, with a review by Maj. Gen. Charles H. Lyman, commanding the Quantico post and the Fleet Marine force. The outfit will leave Washington on August 4 for Quantico aboard the Northland. The organization will re- turn - to Washington on August 18, sailing back on the same vessel. Plans for the encampment have received the approval of Maj. Gen. John H. Russell, commandant of the Marine Corps, said Maj. Miller, ASSAULT WORTH $3,500 Baer’s Cousin Says Spanky Mec- Farland’s Father Cut His Nose.

Shriners’ Camels That Visited Here Have a New Baby 150-Pounder Born to Zora and Rufus and STAR, WASHINGTO Sherlock at D. C., SATURDAY, the “Met.” ARTHUR WONTNER, Popular British player, plays the leading role in “The Triumph of Sher~ lock Holmes,” currently being shown at Warner's Metropolitan. MINE MYSTERY LENDS ACTION TO DOYLE PLAY Sherlock Holmes Has New Op- portunities at Met- ropolitan. A SUAVE and slightly cocksure English bachelor, addicted to deducing all manner of useful in- formation from watching his friends’ whiskers, holds sway in “The Tri- umph of Sherlock Holmes,” the latest chill-and-dagger item derived from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's excellent series of detective yarns. The pic- ture at the Metropolitan Theater this week was inspired by “The Valley of Fear,” a tale dealing with the after- math of a sort of Molly Maguire mix- up in mythical American coal fields. Interspersed with fair expository melodrama, centering around the ter- rorization of a mining community, the inevitable course of the Holmes investigations finally leads to his arch enemy, Dr. Moriarity, and all right- thinking people will oe pleased to know that fiend gets tossed into & watery grave. Arthur Wontner's smooth imper- sonation of the canny Holmes and Lyn Harding’s impressive tace-making as the old ogre enliven the whodunit game considerably, ere the climax is reached. There is a fresh quirk in the story to add zest to the last-minute dis- solution of mystery, and what withal, the producton may be labeled satis- factory fare for Sheriock’s fans. Its faults, if we must mention them, consist chiefly of very bad lighting and inadequate “femine” interest. ‘The Met program also lists a Broad- way Brevity and other shorts. —R.B.P, jr. e VARIETY CLUB CRUISE Showboat Program to Be Given for Event Tonight.

By the Associated Press. VATICAN CITY, July 20.—Pope Pius, who has entered his 79th year, has ordered the abandonment of his old custom of going from one kneel- ing pilgrim to another extending his papal ring for them to kiss. This is but another of many efforts he is making to avoid the slightest un- necessary physical exertion, as he feels one of the longest on record, since of the 261 popes only 37 surpassed the length of the present one. and irresistibly smart... ® DANCING during the cocktail hour and after 10 p. m.

AMUSEMENTS, Film Singer |Sylvia Sidney May Get Saves Play| Less Money or No Role InFoxShow Marsha Hunt May Get Big Chance With “Guns” If Demand for $60,000 Per Pic- Paul Robeson’s Voice Stirs “Sanders of River” Audience. “GANDERS OF THE RIVER” must be ackndwledged an important film, because it brings to the screen one of the most brilliant talents of our generation. Except for the pres- ence of Paul Robeson, it could only be rated as & complete and unqualified dud. Robeson, however, lends un- deniable dignity to the otherwise harum-scarum affair, his beautiful baritone voice alone compensating for the rest of it. Fortunately, in the picture at Loew's Fox Robeson has three full-length songs, all effectively staged. It may be said that if he were to appear in vaudeville he would do no more than that, and it is there- fore worth the price of admission to witness his particular part in this film. ‘The lyrics of his numbers in “San- ders” are so inane that we advise you not to attempt to discern their meanings. It is more pleasant simply to hear the masterful melody created by the greatest living colored actor and singer. When the last notes of Robeson’s voice died away in the fade- out of “Sanders” at the opening show yesterday, there was applause from the audience. If it was intended for any one or anything other than him we miss our guess worse than the boys who picked Baer. “Sanders of the River” was filmed on native location, and the London Film Corp. no doubt went to great trouble to assemble African tribesmen, tom toms and funy looking war paint before loosing the camera on a story of a British gentleman who tamed a lot of savages. In their excitement over getting shots of nature in the raw, the London people unhappily forgot to take along a continuity writer. As a result you will find the dusky warriors at times chanting belligerent ditties with a polite Oxford accent, and the next moment setting up great yells and whoops in purg Ubangi-Acholi. It is rather difficult to decide whether they are cheering the good old Blue on to victory or working up a lather before & massacre. Various other aspects of the show are handled with equal in- epitude, and the noblest effort of Les- lie Banks, Nina Mae McKinney and Robert Cochrane avail not at all. The high point of the Fox stage show this week is represented by a smooth “single,” Mr. Paul Gerrits, | who resembles Robert Montgomery and works with dazzling ease. Just what he does none can say. The act defies classification, although we gathered he was primarily addicted to roller skates. Whatever you want to call it, it is tops in entertainment. He even makes stealing the whole show seem supremely effortless. Billed as the feature presentation is Jolly Coburn’s band, lately of the Rainbow Room in New York. A good dance orchestra, the Coburn unit has little to recommend it as a stage unit. The incidental divertissement is of- fered by the Robinson twins, dancers, and Kathleen Wells, who sings. The program is rounded out with a personal appearance by Mae Questel, the “Betty Boop” of the screen car- toons, and an introductory item called the Erner and Pisher revue, which in- cludes & worthy team of comedy dancers. R.B. P, Jr. JANE WITHERS, STAR Appears in “Ginger,” to Be Seen on Keith Screen. JANE WITHERS has now become a star in her own right and will be seen at R-K-O Keith's beginning Fri- day, July 26, in the Fox picture “Ginger.” In addition to little Miss Withers, the cast includes O. P. Heggie, Jackie Searl, Katharine Alex- ander and Walter King. This booking of “Ginger” supplants the previously announced “Old Man Rhythm,” which marks the return to the screen of Charles (Buddy) Rogers. It is antici- pated that “Old Man Rhythm” will be shown at a later date. WOMAN GAS VICTIM Laundry Branch Employe Over- come While at Work.

MERRICK, OLLYWOOD, July 20 (N.ANA. . —Sylvia Sidney is kicking up quite a dido at Paramount, demanding $60,000 per picture for herself, and the power§ that be over there don’t think she's worth it. 80-0-0-0-0-0-0—if the petite and very cunning Miss Sidney doesn't change her tactics, and her financial figures, t00, she will find herself out of the lead role in “Guns,” which is all ready and waiting for her. In her place will go Marsha Hunt, an ex-Sunday school teacher who Ernst Lubitsch thinks is the best bet he has encountered of late. Proving that there is always some one waiting to take your place in a film in case you feel that the emolument isn't suf- ficlent to keep up your interest. ‘When Myrna Loy felt she was mis- cast in “Masquerade,” a little actress walting for an assignment stepped in and played it. Luise Rainer made a sensation in her role of the Viennese governess . . . that is, a sensation with the critics and local fans who hap- pened to get in on the preview; the picture is not yet released. ‘The middle-aged man comes in once again as the center of picture inter- est. This time “The Perfect Gentle- man,” & play written for Frank Mor- gan by Edward.Childs Carpenter will be made for the first time in gelatine, although it would have beea a Broad- ! way production had Prank Morgan been allowed away from pictures long enough to do it. The studio regretted | that it could not let him go, bougm} the play and will make it soon, with Cicely Courtneidge in the role oppo- site Morgan. This brings two sterling names from legitimate into the pic- ture right from the start, and the supporting cast undoubtedly will be up to standard. In the long ago John Emerson, hus- | band of the popular Anita Loos—and | you all know what she wrote without | my telling you again—played the “older” man with sensational success. Something akin to those roles was found in Lewis Stone’s portrayals of | | gray-haired gentry with sex appeal. Now comes the movie version of “The Bishop Misbehaves,” with an| English actor named Edmund Gwenn | now under contract to Metro, playing | the part of his reverence. Edmund | Gwenn was the star of "ubumum! Grove,” a play which had a long run | in London. He was 50 successful in | his middle-aged charm that the studio | signed him as a contract player. | ‘We shall have, always, those ladies sufficiently conservative in mind to| ‘want their fan admiration to fall upon some one free of the onus of disparage- ment in years. There also are the| very, very, young, young things who just love an “older man.” If the middle-aged man goes over once again as strongly as producers hope, we undoubtedly will have a num- | ber of “middle-aged women” plays. | ‘There are big plans for Jessie Ralph and Edna Mae Oliver, I understand, in which they will play the central interest instead of the supporting in- terest. One of the great fur houses of New York sent out that city's most famous | models and half a million dollars’ | worth of furs to give a Hollywood show. Cars were lined up for blocks at the opening tea. Movie and still camera men lined up to catch the famous as they alighted from their equally famous cars. All Pasadena and conservative Los Angeles soclety were invited and some ladies from far-off Santa Barbara took the cool ocean drive to Hollywood to see the fun. ‘They saw magnificent furs on our hottest day of the year so far. Pant- ing with the effort, they descended the stairs to our swankiest night club, the Trocadero, and saw silver foxes and white foxes and minks and er- mines galore. But if they came to glimpse the most inaccessible of the zelatine gentry they were disappointed. Those ladies looked in by private ap- pointment, and, believe you me, they will get their furs at private prices or know the reason why. Cinema ladies ‘want bargains these days . . .
