AMUSEMENTS, THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTO D. C, AUGUST 18, 1935—PART FOUR. AMUSEMENTS, F-3 'NOTED D. C. ACTRESS APPEARING IN BARN THEATER Helen Hayes Discusses “Caesar” and Cleopatra Famous Stage and Screen Star Tells About How She Came to Be Interested in G. B. Shaw’s Play. By Margaret Santry. T MAY be a far cry from the Convent of the Sacred Heart in Washing- I ton, D. C,, to a barn theater in Rockland County, N. Y., but it was in that vine-covered cloister that this week's production of “Caesar and Cleopatra,” starring Helen Hayes at the County Theater in Suffern, N. Y, had its earliest inception. Miss Hayes told the story last week as the company of actors and directors who will work with her weres: grouped about the swimming pool of | her estate at Nyak, N. Y., where re-| hearsals began. “Shaw’s ‘Caesar and Cleopatra’ has been a sort of frustration in my life since I was a child,” explained Miss Hayes, “and I'm having the time of my life at the prospect of playing it this Summer, and of all things, to bring the pageantry of Cleopatra's Egypt to a barn theater! “It all goes back to the time I was in the convent. and, to the horror of the nuns and the Mother Superior, I chose Shaw's ‘Caesar and Cleopatra’ as the subject of a theme. It was precocious of me, I know, but as a small child I was mad about the theater, and when I was 6 the man- ager of a Washington stock company had persuaded my mother to let me play child parts | “But you can't begin to imagine ! the consternation it caused in thcI convent when it was discovered that | Mary Hayes Brown had been read- ing Shaw.

He was simply | Three weeks ago Helen Hayes, her husband and the Ben Hechts went to the County Theater to see “The Devil's Disciple.” Francis Compton played Gen. Burgoyne. and acting were so authoritative that all who saw him were impressed, especially Miss Hayes. After the per- formance she looked up Robert F. Cutler, the County Theater's man- aging director, and Bretaigne Win- dust, the director. Both had been pleading with her during her weekly visits to the theater that she do a play for them. She said: “I think I have a play I'd like to do. If you can get Compton to do Caesar I'll do ‘Caesar and Cleopatra’ for you.” An appointment was made forvf;; Compton to read the part with Miss | i Hayes at her home. She had only seen him as the white-winged Gen. Burgoyne in “The Devil's Disciple.” But she was enthusiastic about her choice for Caesar and after the inter- view knew she was right. Compton is a brother of Fay Comp- ton, the London star, and of Compton His manner | - taboo as reading matter for girls in | McKenzie, British author. His father convents. “My contrition at shocking the | #chool did not alter my adulation | of Shaw or my heroine—for Cleo- patra was definitely the role I dreamed to play some day. I'd already vowed | to be an actress.” “You can imagine then my delight when the Theater Guild called me | on the phone one day years afterward | end asked me to play Cleopatra in | the Shaw play. Shaw's ‘Caesar and | Cleopatra’ was to be the opening | play in the newly dedicated Guild | Theater. Talk about wish fulfillment! | “That production had a most grati- | fying run. It was one of the greatest | thrills in my career. So much so | that I have always wanted to play Cleopatra again. * * * And so, too, 1 have been always looking for the Caesar to play it with me.” | That's where Francis Compton, dis- tinguished English actor, comes in | daL” | was Edward Compton, actor-manager and head of the Compton Comedy Co., for years an institution in the English theater.

After serving four years and being commissioned an officer he resigned, later returning to the stage. In 1915 he rejoined the British Army. He passed two years in France, was wounded and was decorated with the Military Cross. At the end of the war he returned here and the latest plays in which he has appeared include “Yellow Jack,” “Between Two Worlds,” “Prisoners of War,” “The Distant Show” and “Kind Lady.” “Caesar and Cleopatra” will be pre- sented at the County Theater in Suf- fern from August 21 to 31. From Agoutis to Zebus O NE of the most unusual di- rectories in the world is that used by the Hollywood spu- dios to locate trained ani- mals and rent them for various pro- ductions. It ranges from A to Z, with the agouti, a small rodent, at the be- ginning, and the zebu of cross-word puzzle fame at the end. Within the compass of this directory may be found practically every ani- mal known to zoology, as well as al- | most any bird or reptile that might | conceivably be wanted for a picture All the common specimens, lions, tigers, leopards, wolves, foxes, are list- ed with the addresses of their owners. More uncommon species include the anabus, a species of ape:; the cacti mundis, iguanas, lemurs, llamas, pec- caries, wildebeestes and tapirs. Ev- erything is there but the werewolf— and the studios know how to estab- lish quick contact with Henry Hull or Boris Karloff Some of the animals are raised and owned by people who have them for pets. Others are handled by firms’ who make a business of catering to| the studios. The A. G. Barnes circus, the California Zoological Gardens in Los Angeles, various lion, alligator and ostrich farms, all do a steady business with the studios. In addition, there « are dozens of trained horse and dog | concerns, The animals crop up in unexpected places in pictures. For instance, an agoutl appeared in “The Unholy | ‘Three” in the pet store. A rhinoceros | was imported from Germany by the Metro-Goldwyn-M ser studios and | will be ridden by Johnny Weissmuller | in “The Capture of Tarzan.” Lionel Barrymor: worked with an iguana or | desert dragon, which was supposed to bite and kill him in “The Show.” Prince, a celebrated Great Dane, has worked with Greta Gerbo and many | of the other stars. “Storm at Day- break” employed an educated bear, | “The Cuban Love Song” a tame fox | &nd “Naughty Marietta” a cageful of specially trained canaries. Some of the animls, especially the dogs and monkeys, become celebrities in their own right, such as Jackie the | lion, Josephine the monkey, Chita the chipanzee, Mary the rhinoceros, Jiggs the dog and Flush the spaniel of “The Barretts of Wimpole Street,” which recently appeared in “The Age of In- | discretion.” Animals, like actors, have their own personalities. Cougars and deer were brought up in Sequoia Park and taught to be {riends for the filming of Vance Hoyt's “Sequoia.” The lions became so tame that they affected a behavior almost | doglike when handled by Jean Parker. | Many directors have their own favo- rite animals for enhancing the point of a story. Tod Browning, Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer's mystery director, who directed most of the thrillers of the late Lon Chaney, uses bats when- ever he can, to obtain weird effects, ‘The moment he starts a picture all the “bat men” circularize him.

GLEN ECHO PARK is entering the final weeks of the most successful season in its history, and swimming, dancing and breath-taking rides con- tinue to divert thousands daily at Washington's premier Summer play- ground. Orystal Pool, with water pure as the water you drink, remains a prime favorite these hot days and nights. Scientifically operated and supervised by Boyd Hickman and his courteous crew of Red Cross guards, the pool is an irresistible rendezvous from early morning until late at uight. Especially popular with the younger set is the seashore sand beach ad- joining the pool, where a Summer coat may be had for nothing—a coat of tan. Dancing remains one of Glen Echo's major diversions. In the Spanish Garden ball room, cooled by invigor- ating breezes from the Potomac River, approximately 1,000 couples dance cvery night except Sunday to the lilt- ing strains of David MacWilllams' merrymakers, Yesterday at Marshall Hall Park, when the Oklahoma State Soclety held its first annual watermelon fes- tival, the Wilson Line passed a sig- nificant mark, in that this event celebrated the 800th organization out- ing to be held on the Wilson Line steamer, City of Washington, since the inception of service on the Po- tomac River in 1930. The reason for the unusual popularity of these trips with Washington organizations is that an excellent opportunity is presented for a pleasant Summer get-together, as well as to raise money.

He was educated at | the Lycee Louis-le-Grand, in Paris, | and at St. Paul's School in London. | During his school days he had no| thoughts of the stage or screen, but | indulged in the usual college sports— boxing, swimming, rowing and rugby. His father was a professor of bi- ology at Queen's University, Belfast, | and also at Cambridge. | But what is especially interesting ' is the fact that he is a direct descend- an of Fletcher Christian, who led the famous mutiny on the Bounty, And | the young man’s career has been a most as exciting as his ancestor’s. | He was in Tahiti, pearl-fishing with | a boat he had purchased, and a crew | of natives, when an English film | ccmpany came there to “shoot” on location for “Mutiny on the Bounty.” And oddly enough, Flynn was given the role of his maternal ancestor, Fletcher Christian. Later he went prospecting into the “bush” of New Guinea for gold. Says he found a “spot of gold” and made some money. Around his neck he wears his only good-luck charm—a | thin gold chain given him by a dying | missionary in the interior of New | Guinea. There is an ugly scar on his shin bone, the mark of a poisoned | arrow shot at him from ambush in | the “bush” country. | ‘Thought he was on the way to an- other fortune when he bought a coast-wise schooner and put it into the interisland freight service. But the schooner struck a hidden coral | reef—and that was that! No insur- ance, His work in the Bounty picture re- sulted in ambitions for the stage. Received his opportunity from Sir Barry Jackson. Played on -the Eng- lish stage in “A Man's House,” “Othello,” “Another Language” and “The Constant Nymph.” Also ap- peared in stock companies through- out the provinces, and managed to get in some motion picture work. His big celluloid opportunity came when Irwing Asher of Warner Bros.’ British company saw him on the stage and signed him to a contract to come to Hollywood. And here was the beginning of more adventures. On the boat coming over from England, he met and danced with a very fascinating lady—Lili Damita. Enjoyed himself, thought she was very lovely, but didn't think a great deal more about it. Later their paths crossed in Hollywood. Paths crossed more often. And on June 19 last, Mr. Flynn and Mlle.

By Lucius Beebe. HE oft-heralded nadir of the Manhattan playgoing season, whatever nadir may be, is at hand as these despondent lines are penned. Mid- season producers, who have underwritten a hidecus dramatic catas- trophe which closed after the first act, are in the habit of hailing the lowest of new low ebbs in the annals of the stage. There simply, according to these dolorous pronouncements, isn't any theater left to speak of. Well, ‘there actually is hardly any theatery left to write about in the New York of the moment, although there are signs | of promise as a new season blinks its big eyes in parts suburban and won- ders if it would be right to be about Times Square alone after dark. ‘The principal event of the week centered about John Patrick’s new play, originally called “Hell Freezes Over,” but rechristened “White Hell” for its premiere at the Ridgeway ‘Theater up at White Plains. A much- touted script, the production rights to which are owned by George Kon- dolf, it drew most of professional Broadway to its opening and, accord- ing to spies, proved itself something of & success de scandale, if not too | promising a commercial venture. “Hell | Freezes Over,” the script of which we were permitted to read a few weeks since, is about the toughest and most | masculine drama since “The Last | Mile.” There isn’t a gesture of senti- mentality, kindness or chivalry in it, if you except the abrupt poisoning of | a dying youth by a momentarily sym- pathetic narcotic addict. This whim- sical interlude is the nearest approach to humanitarianism which Mr. Patrick “Alma Mater” was vastly good stuff and satire of the first order and the entire project reflected credit on its entrepreneurs. To herald the Ameri- can Ballet and its affiliation with the gaudy myseries of the Metropolitan Opera without mentioning Mr. War- burg and Mr. Kirstein is a study in simple injustice. FOR the rest: Longacre Square still echoes to the familiar lilt of Gilbert-Sullivan operettas. Lodewick Vroom’s players at the Adelphi put- tered through “Pinafore” with a wealth of good intentions and some degree of synchronization, but little enough of spontaneity. It would be a sheer delight for any one who had never done it to be, for an evening, the ruler of the Queen’s Navee, but, after you've done it for, oh, yeaars and yeaars, it apparently palls. The com- pany will wind up its season next week with encores of “The Pirates of Penzance” and “The Mikado.” —_—— Original Tide. New York, on! could conceive among a group of stranded Antarctic explorers. In any event, Lee Shubert, Louis Calhern, Natalie Schaeffer, Robert Buckner, Barney Klawans and ap- proximately 300 other theater folk tooled up to Westchester to see Bruce MacFarlan play the lead in a prac- | tically actorproof saga of the snows. The report has it that “White Hell” |in production is just as hard-boiled | as in script. But it is essentlally a closet drama, a little bijou at times, | we are told, to be kept, like a stuffed Victorian canary, sou cloche. It is implicit with rave notices, but not | with box office business. N THE vicinage of Longacre Square | the principal excitement of the | week has been furnished by the in- | telligence that the American Ballet | is to be incorporated with the pro- | | gram of the Metropolitan Opera Co. next season. It has been front-page news, happily coinciding with the cir- | cumstance that the ballet has been |on view during the week at the | stadium concerts, while Paul Haakon, | | one of its brightest lights, has danced ; at the Radio City Music Hall within | the month. It is the more pity that | the Met, in its releases, and, perhaps, | | George Balanchine, its matre de ballet, | | have quite failed to mention that | Lincoln Kirstein and Edward War- burg first thought of the American He is shown above Added to “Splendor.” BILL!E BURKE and David Niven have been added to the cast of “Splendor,” the Rachel Crothers screen play which Samuel Goldwyn will place in production shortly.
