. AMUSEMENTS. Shirley Enters Grade 3-A With 15th Film Production Delayed as Starlet Catches Cold. Bolting Horse Puts Alice Brady on Side Lines. BY SHEILAH GRAHAM. OLLYWOOD, December 31 H (N.AN.A) —"Stowaway"” Temple's fifteenth film for Twentieth Century-Fox . . . 14 additional days were added to the regulation 34-day shooting schedule when Alice Faye caught flu and transmitted a cold to La Temple. During « « « Shirley production, the 7-year-old moppet's de luxe portable dressing room caught fire, nearly roasting Shirley’s first Christmas present, a pedigreed Pekingese, titled “Ching Ching.” Shirley surprised every one—includ- ing herself—by picking up several Chinese words . . . the Chinese actors in the film were taught their Chi- nese lines par- rot fashion . . . the infant's tap number is per- formed with a pair of hand- made shoes sent her from New York by Bill Rob- inson, colored tap dance king . .

Half way during “Stowaway,” Shir- | eating—was forced to ride a horse. Her misgivings were justified. The horse took fright at sight of the camera—and bolted through a hole in the fence. Shooting was suspended several days until Miss Brady could sit down at her work. ‘Watching them make pictures. . . . | “I have a good quotation for this pic= | ture—'Money does not always smell’,” | says Peter Lorre to Producer-Writer Nunnally Johnson on the sidelines of “Nancy Steele Is Missing.” Pleased with his witticism, Peter the sinister returns to the camera. ‘The scene calls for Victor McLaglen to shoot him, and Lorre has prepared | red gooey stuff on his hand. McLag- |len aims his gun at the floor. | harmless little pop is heard—but a look of agony distorts Lorfe's features and he clutches his already “wounded” hand.

Group Please Audi- chorean group combined their of the Washington Composers’ Club ized by assurance and ease of interpre- In a program that was chiefly & | humorous and caricatural in treatment of the subject matter, the entire troupe displayed keen insight for the details of facial expression and pantomime, avoiding, on the whole, a natural pit- fall of pantomime—that of “overdoing.” This was true even of the very young “ballerinas,” who handled their rou- tines with the confidence and poise unusual for their ages. Unity and co- operation of the individuals was parent throughout, with few mistakes in entrance cues and infrequent lapses in continuation of the choregraphy.; “Old King Cole.” simply an adapta= tion of the Mother Goose rhyme in more elaborate clothing, was the most | popular of the evening's offerings and the most convincing in enactment. The rotund old gentleman was made his drollest through the clever and novel facial contortions of Alice Louise Hunter. Reliable support by Patricia | Benedict and Patricla Ferry as the pages, and Rudolph Vallee and Fred- eric Cole as the bodyguards balanced the performance. The off-stage “fid- dlers three” were Henri Sokolov, Stan- ley Hertzman and Samuel Feldman who, with Edith Hunter at the piano, provided creditable instrumental sup- port. Featuring the young children, “The Barnyard Bully” (music by La Salle Spier), offered a situation whereby | divers fowls, cows and cats stroll out on the stage, cavort a little, then are chased away by a somnolent dog, who eventuall mobbed in retaliation. At least the plot provided a field for imi- tative work by the cast. Henry Gregor's * " National—Sun.

DOBLEE, Member of the American Meteorological Boctety. . “STALLED” atmosphere will have to be blamed for the recent extended period of temperatures, which have embraced the entire Eastern half of the United States. And, by a “stalled” atmosphere, we mean a marked slow- ing down in the eastward procession of areas of “high” and “low” barometer across the country almost to a stand- still. Supposing, for example, that all through trains eastbound on one of our great trunk lines would so reduce their speed under favorable operating conditions as to cause great delays, and imagine the surprise and anxiety it would cause to passengers “en route.” This is precisely what has taken place in our atmosphere, without any sufficient explanation as to what caused the “weather tie-up,” with its re- sultant mild temperatures, and “Spring rains,” rather than seasonable tem- peratures and heavy snows. — ferent dance tempos, brought out the skill of Misses Polly Prickett and Ma- rian Wolberg to the best advantage, ' while the effort of Composer Mary | | Howe, “Cards,” was noteworthy. ‘There was, about the accompanying | musical compositions, little that could | be described as “monumental” in orig- | inality or melodic content, although it proved itself suitable for empioyment with ballet. One must remember that | | music in ballet accompaniment fis | valued chiefly for its rhythm and oc- | | casional flourishes incidental to the | pantomimical expression. Edward Pot- ter's composition work in “Old King Cole” and Deane Shure’s “Minuet” were popular, especially the latter with its typical eighteenth century dance flavor. Mr. Potter’s choral, “The Little Jesus,” sung by the chorus, also was well received. The Mount Vernon Church chorus | sang several religious compositions by | Washington composers, Miss Edith ‘ Gotwals at the piano. ~J. 8. With the begins an im AMUSEMENTS. The barometer over Eastern North America, for a long while, remained high, but stationary, and in the neigh- borhood of 30.30 inches, just high enough to prove a blocking effect to storm areas that would otherwise trend more to the southeastward and eastward, giving us heavy snows in their wake. Present indications, however, point to the resumption in the next few days, or toward the end of the week, to more active weather types, with a rising barometer now taking place over the great Mackenzie River Valley of Canada. And, in this connection, we can expect decided fluctuations in the temperature, and more normal wintry weather, with plenty of snow and rain throughout the month of January. ‘We do not, however, at the present writing, expect the cold this Winter to be too prolonged, but we can right- fully anticipate plenty of severe cold spells, of from two to three days dura- 14 Clouds of Jay OR L'IIES TRA = Wik a = B;g Stage Shour tion at least.
