B—18 “Jane Eyre’s” Ends in Big Quandary AMUSEMENTS. Rich Career Play Grossed $340 000 in 14 Weeks, But Its Future Is in Doubt— form” Is a Success. BY JAY CARMODY. ® MISS KATHARINE HEPBURN were not a lady, she could “humph” & $340,000 “humph” right in the faces of those who did not like her recent That is the amount of money which box- performance in “Jane Eyre.” I could have done no more. The returns, dutifully reported by R-K-O which has Miss Hepburn under contract (instead of the Theater Guild which sponsored the play), come at a pretty interesting point in the career of “Jane Eyre.” The play closed for the Summer in Baltimore Saturday night. You might think that those associated with anything that had earned $340,000 would be at least mildly ecstatic about it. Not the *“Jane Eyre” crowd. They are rowing, in a refined way, of course, about what to do with it. Some of those identified with the drama want it rewritten before tak- | ing it to New York next Fall. It was | all right on the road as a romance, they feel, but bitter, brittle Gotham would ke it as an ominous, sinister thing. 'Tis reported that Sidney Howard has been approached about the surgery that would achieve the transformation. ‘Tis reported at the same time that Helen Jerome, whose brain child the play is, will give her consent to no such operation. There the matter stands today with every one pretty unhappy in spite of the $340,000. Every one, that is, except the thousands who paid it and were rewarded by Miss Hepburn looking so sweet in those lovely old costumes. * ok X X IP THE woman's division of the Clivic Theater is tactful, things may be all right, but the current play, “Girls in Uniform,” carries a measure of dynamite. You see, the girls wanted to do a play of their own and this one had enough characters in it to give every one, including the wardrobe mistress, a part. It was selected and everything was just too, too divine. It is going to require restraint on the ladies’ part, this department has a hunch, to keep things on that level. ‘That is because of the success which has attended the girls’ efforts. Not that any one wants to, but they just cannot keep people away from the performance. The play looks like the best money-maker of the season next to “It Can’'t Happen Here.” It gives the woman’s section a chance to do some boasting. That would make the men feel s0 badly that they might seek revenge by doing “Journey’s End,” an all-male play, next season. LI FUNNY people, these movie execu- tives. Take, for instance, C. C. Moscowitz, Loew vice president. He dashed through town Sunday on a office personnel handled on the play during its 14-week tour. She might not have done so well, for there are a lot of customers in the towns where Miss Hepburn played who probably would not have heard of Bernhardt. ., “Girls in Uni- Bernhardt train bound for Florida. Dashed through at a time when “Maytime” and “The Good Earth,” two of the largest successes in the company’s history, are being shown here. Did he talk about them? He did not. Mr. Moscowitz had his mind on “Captains Courageous.” “Boy” (that was us), “what a picture. It has everything! Everything! Marvelous! Magnificent! Such & story! Such in- terpretation! Such settings! Have a cigar!” He knew just what the critics, any critic, would say about it. He would | bet a suit of clothes against a necktie that one critic would rate it as the best picture he ever saw. The critic with whom the bet was made is wglking around town weigh- ing honor and integrity and necktie against the picture and a sult of clothes! * ok k¥ BURGESS MEREDITH, not James Stewart. is going to play the male lead in “Stage Door” for R-K-O this Summer. He will go to Hollywood when “High Tor” closes. It will be| his second movie . . . Helen Wills Moody, tennis champion-artist-stylist of women’s clothes, has passed her screen tests with Twentieth Century- Fox. Thus she completes a journey from Berkeley, Calif., to Hollywood via Forest Hills and Wimbledon Frank La Falce reports that a Holly- wood prop man has found something he could not do. And Bette Davis stepped right up and did it. The prob- lem was packing a woman’s suitcase, specifically Miss Davis’' suitcase. She did not sneer . . . Speaking of suitcases Arthur Godfrey can pack his own, but | sometimes it goes to Detroit when he goes to New York. The two of them expect to be going around together again soon . . . Dick Maney, who does not write to us very often, drops us a line warning us to watch out for that day in May when Richard Evans’ “King Richard II" breaks John Giel- mud’s record for consecutive perform- ances in “Hamlet” . . . We always do what Mr. Maney tells us . . . Lunts, who are bringing it here in the Fall, are working on “Amphitryon” as they travel westward in “Idiot's De- light.” . . . “Waikiki Wedding,” a bit | of delirtum with Bing Crosby, will be | screened this afternoon . .. Washing- tonians applauding him at the Earle have made Bert Granoff mighty glad to be home. And glad, too, to have brought pretty Carolyn Henry and Dean Herrick with him. LIMITING OF D. C. TAX RAISE VOTED Forest Hills Association Would Restrict Increase to Budget Needs. Opposition to any increases in taxes other than those necessary to meet the total of the 1938 District budget was expressed last night by the Forest Hills Citizens’ Association meeting in the Ben Murch School. The action was incorporated in & vote of confidence given its delegates to the Federation of Citizens’ Asso- ciations. The federation took similar action at its meeting Saturday night. L. A. Carruthers, president, who is also chairman of the federation’s Fiscal Relations Committee, was au- thorized to take any action necessary for the group. In another resolution, the associa- tion opposed a proposed transfer of an off-sale liquor license from the 300 block of H street northeast to the 4400 block of Connecticut avenue. A ruling from the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board is to be sought prevent- ing any further licensing in the Chevy Chase area. 8. C. Cissel and Carruthers were elected to confer with members of the Priendship and other neighboring associations for the purpose of estab- lishing a proposed boys’ club, MISS SOMERVILLE TO WED NEW YORKER Daughter of Hotel Manager Will Be Bride of Stock Exchange Member.

Ratofl recently completed a fea- tured acting role in “Cafe Metropole,” for which he wrote the original story. Howard to Star. LESLIE HOWARD has been signed for the starring role in Walter Wanger's “Stand-In.” The film is, as the title signifies, the story of those anonymous heroes of Hollywood who substitute for the star while the lights and cameras are being adjusted. How- ard’s most recent film was “Romeo and Juliet,” with Norma Shearer. Tay Garnett will direct this pic- turization of Clarence Budington Kel- land's latest Saturday Evening Post serial. Gene Towne and Graham Baker are fashioning the screen play. . Mitzi Comes Back.

Mitzi now is 17 and opening soon on Broadway in “Babes in Arms.” She has been clicking as a night club singer and R-K-O has signed her for “Love Be- low Freezing.” Few child stars succeed in getting back to starring prominence when grown, as records will show. -— Movies at Church.

Have you?” “Er—no—er—about your future pic- ture plans. Have you re-signed with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer?” “I'm still working for them. (Ac- cording to the studio, Barrymore is off the contract list pending a new agree- ment.) The only thing I can say about the future is that it is extremely vague. I have already turned down two pictures—one for M-G-M, the other for an outside studio. But I shall probably make one picture in Hollywood very soon. And then I Ed ! plan to go to England to make & film | in London. I shall know more defl- nitely about both of these projects within the next two weeks.” “Will Elaine Barrie accompany you to England?” “Naturally.” “Is she continuing with her acting career?” “Why not? Why shouldn’t she?” “Will she have a part in your Brit- ish film?” “Naturally.” “‘Will she appear in the film you are making here before going to Eng- land?” “‘Absolutely.” “Are you making a stipulation to that effect in your contract for the pictures?” “Yes. The only reason I insist is because she is a very fine actress.” “Was she disappointed with her re- cent San Francisco stage appearance in ‘The Return of Hannibal’'?" “No. She wasn't disappointed. She was a big success. (Local critics de- scribed Miss Barrie's performance as follows: ‘She looked like Salome and acted like salame.’) The failure of the | play had nothing to do with her.
