C—12 AMU SEMENTS. Warner Bro s. to Film Sheridan’s “The Rivals” Hug:h Herbert to Play Bob Acres in Screen Version of Popular Play—Role of Mrs. Malaprop Not Yet Filled. BY E. de S. € HE RIVALS" is about to be The Warner Bros., announcement that Richard the role of Bob Acres. That, then, is more or less that exc as yet made up its mind who will play Mrs. Malaprop. Some say Mary Boland, some say Louise Fazenda, gome prefer Ruth Donnelly (please no) and Alice Brady is also way up in the running. We rather hope the choice will be between Miss Boland and Miss Brady. In fact we hope the choice is Miss Boland. At any rate, the play that every young student, every school, every will be done shortly in Hollywt MELCHER. screered. And high time it is, too, pioneering again, have stepped out with the Brinsley Sheridan’s famous comedy ood and that Hugh Herbert will have ept for the fact that the studio hasn't college and every amateur company attempts once or twice in its life (with Mrs. Malaprop overplayed) will be fil hills and within hailing distance of< the homes of Walt Disney, Mary Brian, the Al Jolsons and Dick Powell. It is to be hoped that it will not be modernized. It's somehow always had a way of standing up pretty nicely on its own two feet * * * x SPEAKING of Mary Boland, she stated yesterday (via Paramount): 'm never going back to Broadway. I'm going to stay out in Hollywood. In pictures every day's work is inter- esting bacause it is so different from the preceding day’s. When I went to New York and stage work, I found doing the same things,'saying the same lines night after night, grew monoto- nous. It slowed me up. My philosophy has always been never to let anything slow me up.” Can “Jubilee” have | slowed Miss Boland up? Well, maybe. | ok ERY now and then one of those Hollywood writers whoser day is engulfed in turning out pounds of praise about his particular studio stars writes a good yarn. He doesn't get credit for it. And he seldom knows that any one has used it. Here is one. however, that comes from Howard Strickling's office at M-G-M, which we think deserves its place in the We hope whoever wrote it will e another like it. and that the next time his name will accompany it. | Mr. Anonymous writes as follows: | Brooding is one of the higher sci- ences. Authority for the statement is Rob- ert Benchley, writer-humorist-artist- | lecturer-actor, and who now adds an- | other accomplishment to his diversified career—brooder. It all came to light when Benchley | &trode blithely onto one of the sound £tages at Metro-Gold -Mayer Stu- dios to start his daily stint with Rob- ert Monteomery and Madge Evans in | “Piccadilly Jim.” | “‘And what do I do today?" Director Robert Z. Leonard “You sit and brood,” Benchley was advised. | “Which of the brooding classifica- tions do I present?” he asked. | “Don't tell me there are various forms of brooding.” said Leonard. “Ah, yes” saild Benchley. “Brood and brooding exists in many forms. | Now, the noun, ‘Brood,’ means the | young of animals or the young of birds hatched or cared for at one time. Too, | it signifies the young from the same | dam, whether produced at the same Where and When Current Theater Attractions and Time of Showing.

The fowl goes | cven farther than that. She likewise broods after the eggs are hatched to warm and protect her downy family. Also, to brood means sometimes just to be inclined to sit on eggs.” “But you don’t sit on eggs,” said the director. “You sit and brood.” “Then we have the adjective, ‘Brood,’” Benchley continued, “de- noting a domestic animal maintained solely to propagate her species such as the brood mare, the brood sow.” “But you only sit and brood,” Leon- ard repeated. “Oh,” Benchley apologized, “as Dry- don said, ‘Youwll sit and brood your sorrows on a throne,” or again from the lips of Tennyson, ‘When with| downcast eyes we muse and brood.’” In such a fashion, I must brood?"” “Nes” “Now we're getting somewhere. ‘Which type of the musing brood shall I display. We have the moping brood, such as when another fellow steals your girl. Or the mournful brood, when your contract's canceled. Then there’s the drooping brood, the broken- hearted brood, the pouting brood, the hang-down-the-head brood and the | long-faced brood. “Continuing, the brooding catalogue | likewise contains the ghastly-smile, the dashed-hopes, the sulking, the downcast-look and the laugh-on-the- wrong-side-of-the-mouth brood. Which shall T illustrate?” “None!” “Then I don't brood?” “No—you just sit.” . Gypsy Arrested.
