AMo. .MENTB. ACTRESS BRINGS HER BROADWAY SUCCESS TO WASHINGTON Anti-Hollywood Play Opens on Broadway New Kaufman-Ferber Comedy, “Stage Door,” Presents Margaret Sullavan in Splendid Role. BY RICHARD WATTS, JR. T wood. In fact, it isn’t nominall; concerned with the adventures, HE most vigorous anti-Hollywood play that has yet snarled at the wicked and foolish cinema Hasn't a scene which takes place in Holly- y a play about the screen at all, being both grave and gay, of an attractive group of stagestruck girls living in a theatrical club for ingenues. But behind the exploits of the young women who are striving earnestly for careers in the theater there always looms omi- nously the sinister figure of the mo- | tion picture; the evil, lecherous vil- lian, with the fine ways and the city clothes, who is plotting for the inno- | cent girls the fate worse than death— | life as a film star. It is hardly neces- | sary to point out that the drama under discussion is “Stage Door,” by George 8. Kaufman and Edna Ferber, who have done pretty well for themselves in Hollywood, but refuse to be bought off with California gold. ‘There may be, however, some rea- son for noting a bit of the incidental irony that has crept into the brilliant production Mr. Kaufman has given his work. The most obvious is that the authors of “Stage Door,” after pointing with alarm at the way in which the cinema ruins potential talent, have selected for leading roles Miss Margaret Sullavan, Miss Phyllis Brooks and Onslow Stevens, all three from the films, and that the Holly- wood refugees show no signs that their talents have been injured. On the contrary, Miss Sullavan, who has been seen on the stage in these parts before, is now a decidedly more expert actress than she was before she so- Journed in Hollywood. It struck me as being a trifle ironi- cal, too, when Mr. Kaufman and Miss Ferber, after going out of their way to mock young radical play- wrights for their propensity for over- stating their indictments against | | play, to toy with. téry for Norman Bel Geddes’ passion for playing with scenic' effects. This time he has the-sixty-fourth story of an incompleted skyscraper, but no In the leading role however, he has cast a structural steel- worker named William Haade. It is Mr. Haade's first appearance in the theater. so perhaps the effectiveness of his portrayal indicates that acting isn't such a rigorous business as it .s supposed® to be. In “Ten Million Ghosts” Sidney Kingsley denounced the munitions makers with fine and Jjustified indignation, but in unfor- tunately feeble terms. ‘““Libeled Lady” Next At Palace |Four Stars in New Film—Other Bookings. EAN HARLOW, Myrna Loy, their enemies, went to even more ex- travagant extremes in their own bit- terness against the motion picture. As a matter of fact, it is the strange fury of their propagandist method, not the details of their attack, which makes one wonder if “Stage Door” is exactly fair to Hollywood. Even those of us who agree that the mo- tion picture citadel provides a lotus | land which tends to weaken the | mental and emotional stamina of the authors and actors who live there too long, and that the superior awards in money, comfort and frame of screen over stage have injured the theater considerably, are forced to come to the 2id of the maligned cinema. It can't, | Tennyson's famed poem, was directed we are made to feel, be as bad as the overwrought authors say. That, as Mr. Kaufman and Miss Ferber know, is the beginning of failure for a prop- agandist. Of course, I pass over with scorn the contention of a few mali- | cious fellows that one indictment | which could well be brought against the cinema is that it buys too many of Miss Ferber's pot-boiling novels. If “Stage Door” is an unconvinc- | ing editorial document, it is, never-| theless, a smart, lively and entertain- ing show and therefore deserves its place as the second smash hit of a\ somewhat woebegone dramatic sea- | son. As a play it assuredly has its faults, and they are not merely the aforementioned ones of overstate- ment. The story of the girl who | clings grimly to her determination to | become an actress despite the bland- ; ishments of Hollywood provides a | rather frail sort of plot, and there are | & couple of episodes, one dealing with | | a suicide and the other‘with a young I -goman ‘living in sin, that are more | embarrassing than impressive. It | happens, however, that Mr., Kauf- | man, even when he nods as a play- wright, is always on the alert as a‘ showman and a stage director, and that “Stage Door” is admirable both | as a show and a piece of smooth and expert stage direction. It would have been wise, I think, if Miss Lee | Patrick, the successor to Miss Jean | Dixon as the spokesman for Mr. | Kaufman’s more sardonic nutbursts.‘ had been given more to say, and if the foolish satire on a radical play- wright turned Hollywood defender had either been done away with or written more expertly, But there is no denying the pleasure of watching 80 suave and humorous and well acted an evening of deft parlor vaude- ville, even if it is interrupted by a stump speech from time to time. Not the least of the play’s virtues is the result of Mr. Kaufman's well- known talent for casting. The per- formance of Miss Sullavan in the lead- ing role is a complete delight. Before she went to Hollywood Miss Sullavan seemed to me just another attractive ingenue. Now she is a deft and knowing actress who not only faces the limited demands made upon her in “Stage Door” with charm, guile and resource, but also suggests that she is a player of the highest poten- tialities. Obviously, she has a dis- €Inguished future in the theater, and it is wisdom, not romantic loyalty, that makes her want to stay in the vicinity of Broadway. It is pleasant to note, also, that despite the flight of youth and beauty to Hollywood, there still seem to be plenty of good- looking girls longing for theatrical careers. There are more attractive young women in “Stage Door” than there are at the Winter Garden. I certainly hesitate to pick among them, but for a performance in a small role that is likely to be neg- lected I would recommend Miss Louise Chaffee’s minor but sharp characteri- gation of the boy-hating roung esthete of the Footlights Club, in a discussion of the Kaufman-Ferber show it should be noted that, in addi- tion to the glib showmanship of the play, it is their real sentimental af- fection for the theater, not the hys- terical dislike of the screen, that is the two playwrights’ most winning contribution to “Stage Door.” But perhaps their chief feat is that in their last act they have actually succeeded in libeling & motion-picture producer. Of the three other plays that reached town the week “Stage Door” arrived, the most entertaining is “Swing Your Lady,” a rowdy, hearty cartoon about a Greek wrestler, a lady blacksmith and a mammoth hill-billy, by Kenyon Nicholson and Charles Robinson, the authors of “Sailor, Be- ware.” Since it is the dramatization of & single incident rather than of a | teday! full-length plot, the work grows pretty thin and feeble upon occasion, and there are long spaces when you get pretty tired of the whole thing, but when it is funny it achieves robust, roll-in-the-aisles hilarity. Then, too, John Alexander’s characterization of & dim-witted but amiable wrestler is one of the fine things of the season. “Iron Men” is merely another labora. ; i J | complications which follow. | Conway directed, and the original | tures, William Powell and Spencer Tracy are costarred in “Libeled Lady,” which cemes to Loew's Palace Friday.

Secret of H Success Knowlecige of Technical Points of Picture Making Enables Artist to Give Her Acting Talents AMUSEMENTS. epburn’s Is Control Freer Range. AT are the principal qualifications going into the making of a great motion picture actress? Why do some celebrated Broadway stars register only pass- able success in their first experienced young women take to the new field right from the first shot? These are questions which face every newcomer before Hollywood cameras, and they doubtless will continue to face them as long as there is a Hollywood. But, Hollywood being the bedlam it is, most newcomers are forced to stumble upon the answer for themselves. Katharine Hepburn, who is now ap- | pearing with Herbert Marshall in “A | Women Rebels” at R-K-O Keiths, stumbled upon the answer even before she started her first picture and the natural result was that she became a Hollywood personage overnight and has since zoomed higher and higher with each succeeding picture. Mark Sandrich, who.directed “A ‘Woman Rebels,” described those quali- fications in a round-table discussion following the completion of the pic- ture. He had been holding forth upon | the pleasure of working with a trouper like Katharine Hepburn and one of his hearers, a newpaper man, wanted to know what were the principal qualifications for a Hepburn or any other Hollywood star. “There are two principal ones,” said Sandrich, “and if the actress doesn't have a command of those two the others don't count. First, of course, the newcomer has to have a real urge to act. That goes almost without say- ing. And, secondly, she has to have a mastery of the technical points in- volved.” ‘That second point wasn't quite clear to the newspaper man and he said so. So Sandrich added: “Well, we call it a camera presence. Al newcomers find their talents curbed by their attempts to keep within camera range and to present their best profiles to the cameraman. Besides which all newcomers, both in motion picture and radio, are fright- | ened by microphones. No actress ever is worth her salt until she conquers both camera and microphone and | comports herself as if neither were | within miles.” That seemed to make things clearer, so he went on: “Many players have the urge to act, but scant mastery of the technical points involved, and vice versa. But only a few have the perfect combina- | tion. Miss Hepburn has complete control over her genius and is able “A Miracle of Vocal Art"—Chaliapin | The World-Famous KEQOlc;pFF?

Heflin is now on tour with the Theater Guild’s “End of Summer.” the show in which he was spotted by talent scouts while appearing on Broadway last season. Doris Dudley, also making her screen debut in “A Woman Rebels” was a member of | this Theater Guild cast. Several seasons on Broadway and thorough training at the famous Jas- per Deeter’s Hedgerow Playhouse in Philadelphia, which numbers among its former members Ann Harding and Alexander Kirkland, are responsible for Heflin's finished technique as an actor. He also tried his hand at radio acting and in between engage- ments voyaged around the world with the United States Navy. of Per’eet Sou right.” The minute study which Miss Hep- | burn devotes to a role is the reason for her consistently intelligent ln- terpretation of the characters she portrays, Sandrich declared. “In making a study of a role,” he| continued, “Miss Hepburn is not con- tent with reading the script until she | knows it by heart, but she devours | contemporary history of the era in | which the story is laid so that she has a complete background for her interpretation.” Herbert Marshall is co-starred with Miss Hepburn in “A Woman Rebels,” which was adapted by Anthony Veiller and Ernest Vajda from the novel, “Portrait of a | Rebel” by Netta Syrett.
