AMUSEMENTS Spain’s Stage Lags Behind Land’s Turbulent Days There Are Hopes, However, That the Revo- lution May Produce sance as in Ireland and Russia. By Richard W atts, jr. ALENCIA.—The drama is a languid art that insists on taking its time, even in the midst of war and and rain about it, the theater exigencies of & nation struggling for its life will hasten its descent from {ts comfortable ivory tower. It is not su the earth-shaking events and the bitter the Spanish drama has so far faileds to reflect the heroic days. Striking and powerful posters throughovt the land show that the art of the litho- graph, always the most .dvasnced of the arts of revolution, is flourishing valiantly. A whole school of soldier | ballads, some bitter, some scornful, all breathing defiance and burning sincer- | ity, has risen among the mew at the | front. Some members of the Interna- tional Brigade have even added new verses to that epic soldier song of the First World War, “Mlle. From Armen- tieres.” But in the theater there are few signs of the world struggle that is taking place in the Iberian Penin- sula. It should be repeated that this is by | no means surprising. Certainly 1l | does not reflect seriously on the morale | or the integrity of the Spanish play- | wrights. As Jacinto Benavente, the | dean of Spanish dramatists, whose | comedy, “Bonds of Interest,” was the | first production in the Theater Guild's checkered history, puts it, it is too early for the playwrights to give us their story of war and revolution. | Senor Benavente is a gnomelike little | man, with a bld head and a white goatee, who speaks remarkably good English, but is somewhat handicapped in conversation by his decided deaf- | ness. I sought him out in his apart- ment in Valencia, where he has been living since his departurz from home in Madrid, and found him a | most charming and engaging little gentleman, frank, humorous and | thoroughly winning. However, I must eonfess that the interview was some- what limited, not so much by the Ben- | avente deafness as by the fact that he was able to answer virtually all of my | questions which attempted to bring | out information about the possible | wartime rebirth of the Spanish thea- | ter by a simple “No." Although he | mentioned several playwrights, headed by the poet Alberti, as having revolu- | tionary reputations, he saw no signs— | thereby agreeing with every one else I | talked to—of a present or incipient renaissance of the stage, adding smil- | ingly that people were too pusy with | more serious considerations of life to | bother overmuch with the theater. ‘Thus do men of the drama have a way of running down their favorite art | form | Coming Attractions Downtown Theaters Book Films for Next Week. | apitol—Hold evervthing. swing & Come next Priday the stage show here will be pre- | sented by Jimmy Dorsey and | his orchestra.

In Russia the great events following 1917 resulted in an immediate increase of interest n the theater and a tremendous us of the stage as propaganda, two mat- | ters in which the Spanish have by no means followed them, but it wes | not until the White armies had been | driven out that the theater really | had time for its great and apoarently now departed days. In Ireland Sean O'Casey, who has made the greatest dramatic use of a period of war wnd revolution in the history of the modern stage, did not emerge mi the days of actual warfare against the British or between the Republican and Free State forces, but immedi- ately after them. A dramatist, no matter how firey and impetuous he | may be, needs time to ponder and| gather together his resources, and| cannot be hurled headlong into his| task. Thus the drama is always just a little behind the times, although it usually makes up for lost months by | its vividness and power. The modern | Spanish theater is by no means one | of the great theaters, and it will be interesting to see if the heroic if tragic events the sons of Spain are going through will not eventually bring about a new and more vigorous Spanish drama, just as they are bring- ing about a new and more vigorous | Spain. Whenever you talk to any one about | the prospects of the new drama he is certain to shake his head sacly rnd tell you of the loss suffered by Spanish etters, and in particular the Spanish | drama, in the execution by the rebels in the early days of the revolt of the poet Garcia Lorca. I have neither seen nor read any of Garcia Lorca's | plays, and I understand that there | was still a certain youthful ne'vete | to his works up to the time of his| death, in Grenada, but it appears that | this versatile young man, who seem- | ingly could do as many things in the theater as Noel Coward, showed every | promise of becoming his country’'s great revolutionary dramatist, and | that no one yet threatens his position At the moment it appears that the on] dramatic works with topical revolutionary subjects are short plays that are written by Alberti and otners | for the puppet stage. These are pre- | sented about the country by studont | groups and it is conceivable that here may be the nucleus for he new | drama that should certainly emerge | eventually, of course, THIS expedition, incidentally. reached Valencia several days ago after an overnight train trip from Barce- | lona.

OLLYWOOD, Calif.—No- body was home in Verona vesterday. The steps on which Jack Barrymore was mortally wounded by Basil Rathbone (in “Romeo and Juliet") looked as deserted as the walled Chinese city, just across the street, where Louise Rainer and Paul Muni once played house in “The Good Earth.” Around the corner, a few feet away, however, Joan Crawford, Franchot Tone and a mule, whose name we did not get, were putting Terrano, Italy, on the film fans' map in “The Bride Wore Red.” All the time, however, in spite of the title, Miss Crawford was wear- ing blue, looking tired, #and ap- parently not finding Terrano ev- erything the Terrano Chamber of Commerce said it was Up the street (M-G-M owns it, just as it owns Verona, the walled city, and Terrano) lovely Maureen O'Sullivan was the most animated person watching the shooting of a scene in which Walter Pidgeon and Paul Harvey were about to turn a bed room into & battlefield. We knew it was a fight (make believe) because Pidgeon and Har- vey were roaring fighting words. It was so much easier to look at Miss O'Sullivan that we ignored the scene. From there, clutching at the coat tails of Barrett Kies- ling (who says hello to Carter Barron, Ray Bell and Gene Ford), we were whisked over to another bed room on another stage. On the open market the room would be worth about a dollar a week, but with Josephine Hutchison Iving on one bed and George Murphy on the other its drabness was enormously relieved HEY! WAT A MINUTE / | WANNA SEE ‘EM “Terrible room,” Murphy would say. “Vile,"” Miss Hutchison replied. 'T'HE director would bounce around the foot of Miss Hutch- ison's bed, wave the script, make motions with his arms, feet, head, and the lines would come droning cut again. We did not count, but it seems there must be 252 ways of saying “terrible room” and *“vile” before they sound like di- 1ectors and players think they should. After an hour of rehearsing, dur- ing which there was no elutching at Mr. Kiesling's coattails, Miss Hutchison and Murphy had the scene sufficiently pat that they were allowed to get out of bed. Miss Hutchison came over, looking much prettier and just as young as when she played with the Rams Head Players in Washington. She did not mind & bit being reminded of those days, recalled Ann Ives as the “best Queen Elizabeth” since the six- teenth century, asked to be remem- bered to her and to Washington generally, and said if it could be ar- ranged she would like to go back there in a play at the National Murphy, of Yale and Broadway, also remembered Washington as a place where he had a grand time while roofing in “Of Thee I Sing,” talked of the fun of dramatic roles after being regarded as a song and dance man, and then ran back to bed and began saying “terrible room” so the company wiil have “The Women Men Marry” finished this week end. Somewhere around the place, Willlam Powell and Myrna Loy were surrounded by a million tech- nicians in another bed room. Out- side of the million technicians. Miss Loy and Powell, it was a private bed room. We did not get into it however, because Powell is ill, and Outdoor Wyman, Alice Brady, Gertrude Mi- | quarters in Barcelona.

Famous faces are a dime a dozen around every corner. One of them, caught outside a bed room where we seemed to be seeing every one, was Robert Taylor's face.
