AMUSEMENTS, It’s a Long, Long Road And Has a Returning “Tobacco Road’ Back at National - This Month for E ighth Engagements Its Statistics Are Impressive By JAY CARMODY. Theatergoers who thought they were through with “Tobacco Road” when it played its seventh Washington engagement here last season are due for the surprise of their lives on January 26. Out of a clear sky, or whatever kind of sky happens to be prevailing that day, the Jack Kirk- land adaptation of Erskine Caldwell's sad saga of the soil will return to the National for its eighth engagement. sequent return engagements of the®¢——— play remain to be announced. Un- doubtedly they will be, in due course. There are several schools of thought, or whatever} it should be § called, on the Justification for the decision to keep “Tobacco Read” going. One has it that the movie ver- sion, in spite of John Ford's di- rection, left au- diences with the impression that the Hays' office had tampered with the script Jay Carmedy. in such a fashion that the full pur- port of the drama was not disclosed. Another goes to the effect, however mundane it may sound, that there still is money to be made out of re- viving the drama in spite of eight consecutive seasons on the road. Still another is that, since play- wrights are not creating suitable new dramas to take care of unem- ployment arhong actors, drama might well be utilized toward that end. * k% % Whatever the correct notion may be, “Tobacco Road” remains the modern drama which has compiled the most impressive statistical rec- ord. There is, for instance, the sta- tistic which shows it has played 21 weeks in Los Angeles, the movie capital in which neither the Lunts nor Katharine Cornell is able to achieve more than a mere two. There is another which shows | that it has made two tours of the South, taking its morbid story to the sharecroppers of Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, etc., F“.M'STRUCK —By Sheilah Graham ‘ Al Hollywood was agog! That night every luminary in filmland would attend the premiere of the year’s super-super picture. Ad- vance publicity had promised, with its usual lavishness, that this first night sendoff would be worthy of the $3,000,000 produc- tion. The ballyhoo and trumpet- blowing of press agentry brings out the hoi polloi in great num- bers. Men and women of all ages are crowded uncomfortably in front of the theater; others it in the stands. As each star —male or female—alights from sleek cars the crowd shouts rece ognition in high-pitched, almost hysterical voices. Among those in the stands is Livia Clarkson, 18, a beautiful girl with auburn hair. Nearby is Bruce Nolan, a movie stunt man. In the ercite- ment of the moment Livia for- gets propriety to the ertent of permitting herself to engage in conversation with Nolan, who is quick to give her a brief history of himself. While they converse a large woman in front of them faints. Nolan lifts her and helps her out of the crowd. When he returns Livia has vanished. CHAPTER IIL Livia Clarkson was that rare prod- uct of Los Angeles—a local-born girl. Her birth had occurred in the luxurious. hotel-like Good Samari- ton Hospital. ‘The Clarksons were wealthy in those days. They lived in a beauti- ful Spanish house in the Los Feliz Hills, set like a crown on five acres of terraced gardens. The rooms were high, white and cool. It was Livia's favorite story as a child to hear her mother describe the splen- dors of the house in which she had lived only a bgief three months after her journey from the hospital. Livia never knew her father. She was told he had died before she was born. There was only one picture of him in her mother’s faded leather album. He I ! a handsome, ch; lenging face, rather like Livia's. Long. long ago Livia had ceased her questionings about the man who was her father. It was a taboo subject. She would never forget her mother’s wild weeping when Livia, then a thin, freckle-faced, tomboy of 11, had demanded: “Why don't you tell me about my father? Was there anything wrong with him?” She was bewildered by her moth- er's answer—a torrent of hysterical tears—and flung her thin, adolescent | arms around her mother’'s trembling shoulders, and stared aghast at her sister Vera. who shook her head in equal bewilderment. Afterward, she and Vera—Vera was three years older than Livia— believed that their parents had loved each other so trmendously that the wound of their father's early death was still unhealed. Vera pretended to remember the handsome young man in her mother’s album. Not Much to Invent. “He'd swing me on to his should- ers and throw me up into the air. ‘We were such a happy family.” And there was even less she could in- vent about their beautiful home. The sisters were as unlike as strangers. Vera’s hair was darkly drab. Her skin was smooth, but sallow. At 21 she was too tall, and too thin. Only her eyes resembled Livia's—oval-shaped and blue-gray— but they lacked her sparkle of vi- tality, except when she was angry. And she was angry only when any one dared to hurt her sister or her mother—particularly Livia. Not many people wanted to cross swords with Livia. It was easier to give in to her. Vera had a fanatical love for Livia. Even as a child she will- ingly had given the best of her meager possessions—a ribbon, a doll—to t:.2 imperious demands of her sister.

Livia could not accept or believe anything unless it was happening now. She| did not want to teach in a school, then or ever. “And I won't,” she vowed silently. | But it was all so far distant. Why quarrel about it now? So there was only a brief deflance, a non-pas- sionate argument. What Else? “What else is there for you to do?” her mother and sister had insisted. “Well,” Livia had said, a vein of seriousness running through the | jest, “there’s always the movies.” | She was unprepared for her moth- er's anger. It was the first time she ever had considered the possibility | that in the movie professioon there was an escape from drab reality. “What's wrong with the movies?” | Livia had asked Vera later when | | they were alone and after she had | soothed her mother with the prom- | ise to abandon all thoughts on the | subject. “They're looking for talent, | and who are we to look down on movies? Boy, wouldn't I like to have some of that money!” Livia went on, “Imagine! Some stars get a small fortune for each picture. Baby, baby, if I ever had half of | that, oh, what wouldn’t I do with it!” | “Well, what would you do?” Vera | asked, indulgently. “Pirst thing, we'd leave this | dump. Next—oh, next, we could travel. I'd like to go to China, or |even to New York, wouldn't you, Vera?” | Vera said, “Yes” But if their | mother felt that way about the | | movies, perhaps Livia had better stop talking about it. “Besides,” said Vera, “how d'ye know you could | break in? There are thousands of | girls trying every day—and failing.” This was too true for argument. But Livia hated to be bested by facts. “Why on earth is mother acting up this way? You'd think | T'd suggested something criminal.” Vera didn't know, but it was her habit to yield. She had always | yielded to her mother and Livia. She enjoyed yielding. Mrs. Clarkson’s Plan. The next day Mrs. Clarkson told them the plan that had been born when Vera started her studies for | the teaching profession. “I have a little money put away. ‘Why shouldn't we one day all three of us have our own school?” Per- haps they could rent back the old home on the hill? “It would make a wonderful girls’ school,” she glowed. “Not many, about 24— and—" Livia interrupted her mother and | kissed her. | “Of course,” she-said, “I was only joking about the movies.” She bent her back stiffly and scowled with pre- tended severity. “Meet the three schoolmarms,” she said. That was a year ago. And it was time to begin her studies. An un- expected reluctance possessed her. What was the use of being attrac- tive, of a strange exhilaration that beckoned her—where, she knew not —of youth and exuberance, and all to be chained in the narrow space of a classroom? But as they had so unerringly stated, what else could she do? Then the Los Angeles Gazette decided to rebuild falling circula- ) tion with a competition for “The Charm Girl.” The prize was a screen test at one of the studios. Surprise for Livia. Livia sent a snapshet of herself, sriling, to the newspaper but with- out any confidence of success. This morning the miracle had happened. She had received a letter from the Gazette, informing her that she was ing Pan’ ircwo the fire.” By the srangest of coincidences “Out of the Frying Pan” is the title of Holden": latest picture.

It was unike her mother to be so prejudicec her mother was ‘usunUy so undersianding and intelligent. “We ca: get the school,” Vera said agail. “Schgl"’ repeated Livia, “Oh, yes, the s:hool.” Her mother and Vera were *alking together. “Hey, wait a minute” Livia stopped t'em. She tried to make her voice calm, but gloom settled in her hewrt. “Where's the money; to come f:om?” she asked casually. But the noney was there. Only & comparati‘ely small down payment was to be made. The rest to go over a fivi-year period. They were to take pcssession in six months. “By thes time I'll have my de- | gree,” Vera said happily. Livia lstened calmly. Should she destror their content by telling them aboit the competition? What was the ue? She probably wouldn't win it aryway. The dram had been nice while it lasted.

A visit to the famous De Mille domicile, one of the oldest estates in Hollywood, is some- thing like a trip to the World's Fair.

The producer’s lovely daughter Katharine opened the door and im- mediately cautioned us against breaking our neck getting inside. The hall was littered with a miscel- laneous array of crates and bundles, with interesting looking gadgets popping out of the corners. Knick- nacks of every description littered the floor.
