AMUSEMENTS “Gfand Duchess” Is Grand As Plain Marta Abbq Actually There Is Nothing Plain About Interviewing Her. Miss Garbo’s Preserve. By JAY CARMODY. 18S MARTA ABBA, who plays & brilliant grand duchess in “Tovarich,” which opens tonight at the National, is just s brilliant when she is | y/ M playing Marta Abba in suite 81 of interviewers yesterday afternoon. & trick, but she did it) a dizzy. chase$ from Rome to ptomaine poisoning, with stopovers in London, New York, Vienna and a few way stations. When she was Italy's greatest actress, Duse II, Miss Abba played one of Pirandello's six characters in search of an author, but she really needs an author as little any stage personality we ever have seen. Being Latin on the one hand and an actress on both, Miss Abba is a kind of ami- able tornado, ready to spring into ac- tion upon the mere hint of an inter- viewer's question. Her words, pleas- antly accented, fairly pour, her eyes roll, her hands flutter gracefully, and the whole subjec. takes on a quality of excitement that is very fine in- deed. Miss Abba isn't pretty. But she is eompletely fascinating. An actress of her stature (artistic, we mean, be- cause she is only average size), should be, of course. The theme to which the interview always seemed to return was Miss Abba’s endurance. “In this play,” she #ays, “I already have had six hus- bands.” She gets the comic implica- tion that she is a kind of Mrs. Blue- beard into the statement. But even it she were, that would make no dif- ference. While the husbands have dropped out, one by one, Miss Abba never has missed a performance. She admits that understudying her probably is the most discouraging job any actress ever undertook. It is at this point that the ptomaine poisoning subject comes up. A restaurant one night al- lowed some pork to understudy the expected veal in an Italian dish Miss Abba ordered. The substitution was terrible for her digestion and she felt for the first time that she might not be able to finish her performance. Bhe started in tremendous pain, with her own understudy standing by. She finished without the pain and the understudy was still standing by, just &8 useless as she ever was. * % ok % ’1"5! only other time Miss Abba came close to missing a performance in & play was in Italy. A fever laid its hot hands on her, verv hot hands, but Miss Abba got herself a bottle of champagne and an ice bag, used them both judiciously, and was entirely fit by the second-act curtain. Two things Miss Abba does not know about are husbands and Holly- wood. She is not married, never has been, and is content for the time be- | ing to be an actrese. Despite the fact | that she has played one of the most remarkable stage wives through six husbands, she does not know whether &he would make a good wife or not. As for the movies, she likes to play before & camera. She fells she does it very well, but says 20 with an inflection that makes clear she might tum out to be her own worst critic Af her ance called for it. She 18 n ng of going to Hollywood. She fot think she photographs alluringly; But dees not seem to care greatly that she doesn't. Playng in America, in New York for a year, now on the road for an- other season, has been a marvelous experience. She is accustomed to the road. In Rome even the best plays cannot be supported for more than two months, £0 out the company goes | to the smaller cities, playing reper- toire when the size of the city dic- tates it. Her intense concentration on her art, and that's what it is, is reflected in the fact that she learned English in six weeks so she could play “To- varich” in London before coming here. Bhe took eight lesson, then fired the instructor and took the matter into her own hands. 8he finally learned the language by reading aloud as she stalked up and down a hotel room in London. Today she has a grand vocabulary, an attractive accent, a miraculous way of using wrong prepo- eitions and an obwvious bafflement at the method of forming the com- parative. But it is nice to hear her say “more hard” instead of “harder.” | In fact, it is nice to hear her say | anything! * % % % 'HOUGHTS while strolling over the keys of this typewriter: Maybe Hollywood is making fewer love stores because that is the only type of story which Greta Garbo interprets . . . and does it so well that is must be terribly, terribly discouraging to oth- ers who would like to wear the man- tles of Isolt, Heloise, Mellisande, Camille . . . Yet Herbert Wilcox, pro- ducer-director of “Victoria the Great,” gave the love story of Victoria's life right of way over everything else . And, as interpreted by Anna Neagle and Anton Walbrook, it is an 1dyllic romance, an affair of the heart fit for & queen ... Watching it unfold on the screen does something to the heart . . . and makes queens and princes seem extraordinarily and hap- pily human . .. But, to return to Mise Garbo . . . In her eyes, hands, gestures and w\c- lo s the special kind of miracle of which poets have sung and over which even Noel Coward becomes a sentimentalist. On the stage the Lunts are mar- velous in the same field . . . Whether it s love 'a la Noel Coward as in “Design for Living,” or in the mood of the ancient Greeks as in “Amphi- tryon,” it comes out star-dusty and tull of sweet overtones. * % % % PmI-IAPS because they have the writing, editing, photegraphic and other talent it takes, the movie studios do turn out handsome and interesting house organs . . . And, of course, they always have the best phutagruphlc sub- Jects, say Patsy Kelly or Robert Tay- lor . ..

She ran through by Herb Morgan and praised by a lot of people on the mailing list, in- cluding us . . . The first issue of the magazine is devoted almost entirely to Pete Smith, the chap who can dramatize anything in two reels with more smash and whang than many get into a dozen. A biography of Adolphe Menjou, from the pen of Jock Lawrence, re- minds us again that we want some day to see Menjou play the role of a bum with holes in the seat of his pants . . . Menjou is generally re- garded as the man that clothes made, but he's an actor with a lot more than a wardrobe and always has been . . . Clothes are a specialty, but only one of his many ... Menjou once worked as a farm hand for Vincent Astor . . . And never liked Astor’s clothes . , . Both of them seem to have got along in their respective ways, however. Romaine Callendar, the villain of Charlotte Greenwood's play last week, is rated as one of the wealthier actors on the legitimate ‘stage . . .

Blackfriars Staging “Far Off Hills.” IN THE task of reviewing amateur theatrical presentations, it becomes necessary, frequently, that the theory of tactful tolerance prevail; that un- tempered evaluation give way to the distribution of encouraging platitudes. Such was not the case (most happily) last evening as the Blackfriars Guild presented Lennox Robinson’s “The Far-Off Hills,” under the direction of Denis Connell. Representing the most notable effort to be placed on view during this observer's three-year tenure, the production was paced! pertly, enacted with flaws so few as; to be insignificant in an amateur ef- fort. Superb performances were the rule, rather than the exception, as the say- ing goes, with John Wilson being most impressive in the role of the partially blind father who marries a long-time friend and finds happiness. A close | second was Mimi Norton as the eldest daughter, finding equal bliss in mar- riage, where she thought earlier that convent life would be her joy. Miss Norton is possessed of amazing stage presence in an amateur performer, and although she seemed undecided whether to adopt a brogue or an Eng- lish enunciation, proved herself of definite professional caliber. Her stage’ prospects (if interested) are of the coruscating variety. Clifford Bentley played a morbid suitor to Miss Norton to good effect (in the acting line, as Donald Sisler, gay and confident, as befitted his role, proved the winner). Nancy Kengla and Doris Renaud were splendid in their parts—the two younger daugh- ters who “promote” themselves a step- mother. Other able efforts were those of Joseph O’'Connor and Roy Bateman as the friends of the incapacitated father, Theresa Wilson as his new wife, Gertrude Heagney, playing a fickle maid. It was, without qualifica- tion, one of the best amateur pres- entations of recent years and will be repeated tonight at 8:30. C. A. M. Annabella Returns With Last Laugh. HEN Annabella arrived in Holly- wood she returned in triumph to & city that once turned its back on her. Five years ago the Prench star ven- tured to the movie capital and stormed the studio gates, but producers turned her down flatly. After making a! ! French version of one flim, she re. turned to Paris. In letters to friends at | that time she vowed that some day she would take Hollywood by surprise. e Twizzler Amwer.

Charmaine is a charming blond, a capable performer in her particular line, a most acceptable addition to the | Hirst Circuit’s roster of pulchritude. Whem dancing was the outstanding feature of last week’s show, beauty ranks currently. In addition to Mile. Charmaine, the production offers Deanna Ley, another striking blond; Vilma Joszy, vivacious brunette, who coaxed highest response at yester- day’s matinee. Dorothy De Haven is back to con- tribute singing, dancing and assist- ance in the skits, with Rose Heatherly offering adept acrobatics and the aforementioned Miss Lee presenting a polished toe-tap routine.

FROM the glib and excited pen of Rafael Sabatini came the story; from the fantastic forest of “A Mid- summer Night's Dream” came Olivia de Havilland to play the lovely hero- ine; from somewhere in his wander- ings about the world came Errol Flynn to be introduced to American film audiences, and there was a film called “Captain Blood.” This was slightly less than two years ago, and now, from the vaults, has come “Cap- tain Blood” to be revived at the Little Theater. It's a rollicking, exciting drama, packed with action and Tomance; a vigorous and red-blooded tale of ad- venture on the high seas, There's enough large and small mayhem about to satisfy the yen for vicarious hrills of even the most bloodthirsty f cinemp, fans, as Capt. Blood, after an unjust session with the jus- tice of James II, escapes from slavery to become the pirate who rules the Caribbean with a strong blade in his hand and a stout ship under his feet. There's a thrilling duel scene where Blood does away with the villain of the piece, there’s realistic excitement when Blood and his men destroy a pair of Spanish fighting ships for the glory of the England that sold them as slaves, there are a lot of other fast and furious moments. All this romantic drama is enlivened by some fine playing of the major roles. Even Mr. Flynn, who never has seemed any great shakes to us a3 an actor, played Peter Blood with considerable enthusiasm and made & fast getaway toward the popularity he has since achieved. The lady in the case, Miss de Havilland, was and still is completely delectable in the role, and Basil Rathbone and Lienel Atwill are others whose performances are noteworthy. H M Back to the Soil.

COWLES STRICKLAND has a & recent conversation with a local actor. The fellow was asked in & casual, offhand way, as though we had no thought of typewriters or drama pages, just what he thought of Mr. Strick- land. “Well,” was the instant reply, “he’s given me the first professonal direction I've had since 1925.” The chap, & Civi¢ Theater player, who shall go nameless just for safety’s sake, went on to say that Strickland ‘“can come right out and tell you how terrible you are and make you like it.” Mr. Strickland does not stop there, however, according to the short de- scription we managed to get of his manner of directing, He then goes back over the scene in question, makes the players read and understand several pages of the script at once so that a given sequence takes on its full mean- ing. He sees a play as & play and not as & collection of parts and he makes his actors and actresses see things the same way. Consequently, when he gets through with them they are working with ifstead of against one another. Mr. Strickland has other ideas about community theaters, too, one of which is “that an untrained actor can learn to give a creditable perform- ance of a part in the four to six weeks of rehearsal and still not learn much about acting. This means that each play starts with a cast which is as untrained as the previous cast.” This little matter will be corrected by Strickland by the simple (well, Where and When Current Theater Attractions| and Time of Showing.
