. B—16 AMUSEMENTS. Hollywood, Too, It Seems, Suffers Actor Famine Its Wail for Talent, on Top of Broadway’s Lament, Makes It Seem Some One’s Exaggerating. BY JAY CARMODY. Producers couldn’t cast shows, they sobbed, implying that the playwright who created any OMEBODY'S crazy. All last week in New York every one wept about S Hollywood raids on Broadway acting talent. drama larger than a triangle (eternal) acting situation. was hopelessly ignorant of the The speakers, at the American Theater Council Convention, ignored the fact that their audiences were made< up to large extent of actors not work- | Ing at the moment. And that the Lambs’ Club was glutted with others, ranging from 20 to 70 years, with nothing better to do than play checkers. One did not survey the hall bed room situation, but one sus- pected it would reveal scores of dam- tels sighing that they had not been caught in one of Hollywood's talent raids. The one ray of that verbal gloom that Hollywood at least was well stocked. There would be pictures, one felt, to fill next Winter's empty nights. That was consoling. But it did not last very long. One came back to Washington to a desk piled high with unread news from Holly- wood. And, in the very first sen- tence of the first piece, one read: “If you are young, handsome, tal- ented, prepared to starve a little, and of masculin¢ gender, pack your bag and come to Hollywood. The short- age of available leading men is creat- ing unprecedented opportunities for newcomers.” Unless some one is exaggerating, Bam Goldwyn is going to have to be- come & Noel Coward and write his own plays, play his own leads, sing his own songs and maybe grind his own camera. And on this side of the continent Maxwell Anderson will have to declaim as well as create the verse that thunders so poignantly of human frailties and assininities. Unless, as we say, some one is ex- aggerating. Some one probably is. x % x X I,I B. WARNER, if you have not * heard, won the month's “best supporting performance” award for his work in “Lost Horizon.” At any | rate, he won the one offered.by the | Screen Actor's Guild, the only one | being awarded at the moment. | Mark Freeland, the picture's escort | through its three weeks' run at the | National, thinks the honor is but one-twelfth as great as it will be some time next Winter. Warner's “Chang,” | he insists, will be selected as the best fupporting performance of the year. sunshine in all was the feeling We would not be too surprised. It is 8 magnificent thing that the man | who once played “Bulldog Drum- | mond” makes of the saintly apostle to the grand lama af that Tibetian paradise. His performance, as much | 8s any in the picture, makes you | think Sangri-la would be a nice place | to live even if the best work you could get was washing dishes or mow- | ing the lawn. = * ok % X ERHAPS it is logical that Robert Montgomery should come to town on Friday -with blood on his hands (figuratively) «in “Night Must | Fall” In the long years he has been playing suave, bitter-sweet parts, he must have developed quite & yen to do something different. Such a strong yen, indeed, that murder would seem to be just the thing to vary the monotony of it all. There have been reports that Mr. Montgomery is a pretty high-class murderer in the play which Emlyn Williams intro- duced to Broadway last Fall. This department wouldn’t know about that, personally, until the picture is screened by Loew's tomorrow after- noon. At any rate, it will be nice to go. to the movies again. They have movies in New York, of course, but those living stage people keep one too busy to permit seeing them. And we did want to sneak out for an- cther peek at “Captains Courageous” and a glimpse of Elizabeth Bergner in “Dreaming Lips.” * ok Kk x ELEGRAMS, one telegram cor- recting another, say that Hardie Meakin is entertaining at dinner to- morrow night . . . at the Mayflower, and in honor of Christy Cabanne, Marsha Hunt and others here for the | making of R-K-O's Annapolis pic- ture . . .

C, MONDAY MAY .31, 1937 AMUSEMENTS best supporting performance of Wealth of Witty Fun Found In “Carnival in Flanders” French Comedy Hit on Belasco Secreen Again—Joe Brown Passes Through Town and Phil Regan Eats Breakfast. BY HARRY MacARTHUR. F RANCE'S ace contribution to the library of outstanding cinema comedies, “Carnival in Flanders,” has now come back to the Belasco for & return engagement at the spot where 50 many people rolled gayly about the aisles laughing at it last season. It's something to be seen if you missed it before and if you did see it don't let that stop you because it looks just as good this season as it did last. There’s a wealth of humor, ranging from knife-edged satire on the foibles of man to complete slapstick,<- in this tale. Most of it is subtle and nimble wit, that keeps you engrossed and on your toes, but it also is the kind of hilarity which makes for that good, healthy laughter that starts somewhere in the region of the dia- | phragm, It's good fun all of the time, this bright fantasy of the good wives of the village of Boom, who faltered not when their husbands went into hiding and their burgomaster posed as a corpse at the news of an arriving bat- talion of Phillip of Spain. No fear did the women of Boom have, but they welcomed the invasion with open arms 5 r inin| Gielgud still has his advo-'and the manner of their enterta g the Spanish envoy and his escort is Evans could be no more than a close | "Cid to entertain you mightily. second . . . They can see no end to & half-dozen plays now in New York .. . These include “You Can't Take It With You,” “Room Service,” *The Women,” “Excursion,” “Having Won- derful Time” and the musical “Babes in Arms” ... And some think Maurice Evans was a bit inconsiderate when he decided to stop “King Richard II" while it still is playing to standing room. “A STAR IS BORN” BACK FOR WEEK AT COLUMBIA Sane Hollywood' Film Has Janet Gaynor, Fredric March ° and Technicolor. LOOKING at Hollywood with the intelligence which hardly would | be expected of any one studying a subject so close to home, the movie | people have turned out a bang-up | film story of the rise and fall of the | Hollywood tide. You know all about | 1t by now, probably, because it already has played two weeks at Loew’s Pal- ace. The name of it is “A Star Is Born” and it now is at Leow’s Colum- bia Theater for another F street | week. . “A Star Is Born” has, in addition to this sane treatment of the Holly- wood subject, Janet Gaynor in techni- color, Frederic-March in one of thode fine performances which make you wonder why he’s sometimes wasted on lesser things; Lionel Stander, Adolphe Menjou and a superb blending of hu- mor with pathos. It's the story of a young girl with movie aspirations, and her rise while the star she marries falls. There's a sequence near the end, where Frederic March realizes what he has become and walks west from the eastern ghore of the Pacific, that reduces women to shuddering heaps and puts tears in the eyes of strong men. “A Star Is Born" ought to be on the must list in the little red book. H M. IN THE CUTTING ROOM Filming of ‘“Stella Dallas” Has Been Completed. SHOOTING on “Stella Dallas,” the Goldwyn feature which co-stars Barbara Stanwyck and John Boles, has been finished and the film is now in the cutting room. It was directed by King Vidor, with Anne Shirley, Bar- bara O'Neil, Alan Hall and Al Shean heading the supporting cast. Based on the novel by Olive Higgins Prouty, “Stella Dallas” is the poignant story of & woman who was always at odds with life. Sarah Mason and Victor Heerman wrote .the screen adaptation and United Artists will Telease it. o JOAN'S NEW ROLE. \'JOAN CRAWFORD has ended a six weeks' vacation to start prepara- tions at M-G-M for “The Bride Wore Red,” the starring role which has Just been assigned her. This story of & woman's struggle to find happi- ness in the lowly surroundings of her birth will offer Miss Crawford her finest dramatic role. The film is adapted from Ferenc Molnar's “The Girl From Trieste” and will be directed by Dorothy Arzner. Role for Jacky. i ACQUELIN WELLS, now playing opposite Charles Quigley in “Girls Can Play,” has been assigned to one of the most important roles in her screen .career. Miss Wells has been chosen for the feminine lead in “Pro- fessional Juror,” opposite Otto Kruger. John’ Brahm was recently engaged to direct this Harold Shumate story, Wwhich Fred Niblo, jr, and Grace Neville prepared for the screen. Doug- lass Montgomery will also be seen in & featured role.

RNEST TRUEX, stage and screen comedian who was signed to a long-term contract by Samuel Gold- wyn, entrains for the coast today via Twentieth Century to start work in “The Adventures of Marco Polo.” He will be accompanied by Mrs. Truex and their young son. “The Adventures of Marco Polo,” which stars Gary Cooper, is based on a story by Elton Thomas and Capt. Pogson. Others in the cast to date are Sigrid Gurie, Basil Rathbone and David Niven. John Cromwell will di- rect from the screen adaptation by Robert E. Sherwood. The production will be a United Artists’ release, . - It is acted something like superbly. Wwith a tongue-in-the-cheek sort of good humor, by Alerme as the pom- pous burgomaster who'd rather play dead than meet a Spaniard; Fran- coise Rosay as his wife, who led the welcoming committee, and by a lot of other skilled French players. And Director Jacques Feyder has expertly blended his romance and his varied moods of humor into as pleasant & production as you could wish to see. The New York film reviewers put the okay of the critics on “Carnival in Flanders” by voting it the best for- eign picture of 1936 and the National Board of Review put the seal of audi- ence approval on it by selecting it as the best film made anywhere in 1936. You will put your okay on it, too. * X * % OE E, BROWN popped into town Saturday afternoon aboard a sleeper plane from Hollywood. And popped right out again 15 minutes later, aboard an automobile bound for Mercersburg Academy, where his 18-year-old son, Joe L., graduates today. to asking after old friends—Hardie Meakin, Andy Kelley, Mabelle Jen- nings (and other people whor Joe remembered but we now forget); to regretting that he hadn't eaten since morning, what with dinner a couple of hours away; also to regretting that he had to dash away today without paying Washington a visit. “I've a lot of friends here I'd like to see,” Joe says. “And I'd like to stay here awhile because this is the most interesting city and the most beautiful city I ever saw. And I'm not saying that because you've got a printing press at the other end of your typewriter. I like the place.” Joe talks of pictures, too. “Riding on Air,” his latest comedy, is ready for preview now and he says he thinks The 15 minutes he devoted | it's better than the last film he made. He hopes 50, anyhow. There's an. other one coming up, “Fit for a King,' but the comic won't make this until he finishes with the base ball season in Chicago, where he's broadcasting the games. Before Joe finds his luggage checks to dash off with John Miller, the athe letic coach at Mercersburg (one of the best swimming coaches there ever was, Joe- says), he sples somebody stand- ing in the sun in front of the waiting room. “Here's a chap you'd like to konw,” Joe tells us. “Come on up.” It's Ozzie Nelson, flying back to a Sunday broadcast after a quick visit with his wife, Harriet Hilliard. “Yes, and Harriet is going places out there in Hollywood,” Joe puts in before he says bood- search of the dinner that's two hours away. So Ozzie, who's & handsome enough lad to be in the same business as his wife, chats of movies and music and broadcasting and- this and that until time for his plane to leave. Until almost too late, for he only looks up when he hears engines roar and man- ages to get aboard before the ship rolls down the runway. * % % x HIL REGAN, singing now at Loew's Capitol, is another lad Wwho can match his amiability with any one in the business. At a break- fast jamboree tossed Saturday morn- ing at the Variety Club by Loew's and Carter Barron, Phil was & gra- clous guest of honor. He posed pleas- antly for photographers, with knives, forks, napkins, coffee pots, buns or any other bizarre way Loew Publi- cist Ray Bell conceived, going through his camera paces in the happy man- ner of a young film star willing to listen to direction. He chatted nicely of many things, including the three new films he is to do, starting some- time within the year. He heckled po- litely and applauded vigorously when Harry Welch (Popeye) became 80 en- thusiastic over his ham and eggs he 8ot up and imitated Rudy Vallee and his Connecticut Yankees (not just a few, but all of them). He finished breakfast, then sat down at another table and started all over on a sec- ond grapefruit. He turned down a request for a song by announcing what time his first stage show at the Capitol began. Phil made the right kind of an im- pression, all right, all right, on the press, and everybody else there, in- cluding Mr. and Mrs. Arthur de Titta and Gene Ford. RETURNS TO ENGLAND Raymond Maseey to Appear in London Stage Play. FOLLOWING completion of his cur- rent film role in Samuel Gold- wyn's “The Hurricane,” Raymond Massey will go to England to star in his own London presentation of Rob- .| bert Sherwood's Theater Guild prize play, “Idiot's Delight.” Isabel Jeans, who has appeared with Massey in previous stage suc- cesses, will again team with him, carrying the feminine role now being played by Lynn Fontanne in Amer- ican presentations of the play. Ome of England’s most successful actor-producers, Massey also has film commitments to fulflll in London. He expects to remain abroad several months, then return to Hollywood, where he is greatly in demand for ex- acting character roles. TESTS HELP Jean Fenwick’s Garbo Impersona- tions Bring Role. EAN FENWICK, young M-G-M actress, has found that her recent voluntary work of impersonating Garbo in a series of screen tests had brought her the role of Napoleon's bride in “Madame Walewska,” with Greta Garbo and Charles Boyer. Sev- eral weeks ago when actors were being tested for the role of Garbo's brother, Miss Fenwick volunteered to do Garbo’s dialogue. In viewing the tests which brought the brother role to Leif Erikson, Director Clarence Brown became impressed with Miss Fenwick, who recently completed a part in “Parnell.” i SO o LV B GOT AN EARLY START. ESLEY GIRAUD, 18-year-old actor in Samuel Goldwyn’s “Dead End,” has been working in motion pictures 17 years and 9 months. After making his first picture when he was 3 months old, he has since worked in 3325 other filma. b PUPILS TO DANCE ° UPILS of the Jack Rollins Studios will be presented Friday night at Gonzaga auditorium in & dance recital conceived and staged by James Mul- roe, the school's director of stage dancing.

DOLPHE MENJOU has been signed to play the role of the producer in “Stage Door,” which will star Gin- ger Rogers and Katharine Hepburn. Gail Patrick has been borrowed from Paramount to play the part of Linda in R-K-O Radio Pictures’ screening of the past season's Broadway stage hit. 3 Menjou appeared in support of Miss | Hepburn in R-K-O Radio’s “Morn- ing Glory,” the picture in which her acting won an academy award. His latest work was ig “Cafe Metropole,” | for Twentieth Century-Fox. Miss Patrick is at present engaged in Paramount’s “Artists and Models.” | A Birmingham, Ala., beauty, she was one of the wipners of that company's | “Panther Girl” contest, sponsored in connection with the production of “Te Island of Lost Souls,” which starred Charles Laughton. Ginger Rogers currently is appear- ing on the screen in “Shall We Dance,” her sixth co-starring vehicle with Pred,| Astaire. R-K-O Radio planned to present her as a solo star in “Viva- | clous Lady" as her next picture, but the film was postponed, due to the ill- ness of her leading man, James Stew- art. Miss Hepburn's most recent screen | work was in “Quality Street,” and dur- ing the past season she enjoyed a | successful road tour in Charlotte Bronte's “Jane Eyre.” “Stage Door” was written by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber. R-K-O | Radio contracted four players who appeared in the stage version—Onslow Stevens, Leona Roberts, Marjorie Lord and Lee Patrick to appear in the film.

F STREET AT 14TH PLAYERS TO BE TESTED Cast Selections to Be Made Care- FOR “GREAT GARRICK” | fully for New Mervyn Le Roy Picture. T LEAST 200 famous Hollywood players will be tested within the month for principal roles in “The Great Garrick,” which will be Mervyn Le Roy's fourth production for Warner Bros. release, and in which Brian Aherne, Olivia de Havilland and Ed- ward Everett Horton already have been | cast. Tests have begun at the Warner studio, under the supervision of Le Roy and James Whale, who will direct the picture. The long series of tests will be complete, including wardrobe, make-up and dialogue tests. “I want each player in ‘The Great Garrick’ to it his or her part to per- | fection,” Le Roy said, in announcing | the month-long series of tests in ad- | vance of the shooting date, which will probably be in June. “Mr. Whale and I believe that the best purposes of the comedy will be served if the cast is selected leisurely, after intensive testing. We want Er- nest Vajda's written word actually to come to life on the screen in “The Great Garrick,” and therefore will test about 200 of the best available players in Hollywood. The principals and even the bit players will be se- lected with an eye to complete fit- ness for the characters described in | the script.” By the time tests have been made a cast of 50 principals will have been selected for “The Great Garrick.” The 200 players to be tested will ac- tually represent 600 tests, each being tested for costume, make-up and dia- logue.
