George M. Cohan Gives an
Excellent Performance in
O'Neill Play at National
"Ah, Wilderness!" is a Simple Story of New
England Home Life. Absolutely Different
From Author s Early Work.
BY E. di S. MELCHER.
LAST season the New York drama scribes wore out their
"tipper-tappers" (as Alexander Woolcott recently referred
to a typewriter) mulling over the fact that Eugene O'Neill
had turned Booth Tarkington. They were stunned at going
to "Ah, Wilderness!" and finding that the author of "Strange
Interlude" and other non-cheering excursions into the subcon
scious as well as the conscious had suddenly explored an average
New England family and instead of turning it inside out with
violence, crime and passion, presented it in a friendly and in
formal fashion.
' mis is not tne iiugene u «em mat
we know," said they, as they watched
Nat Miller, one of the nicest charac
ters that has ever been drawn on the
stage, sit beside a table in his Con
necticut home, rpading Omar Khay
yam. in white socks and slippers and
making wry faces at the thought
that he was going to have to bawl out
his son for having gotten "soused" in
λ public house.
"No," said they again, as the cur
tain came down on a sentimental and
nostalgic warmth rarely viewed in
former O'Neill works—"somthing's
wrong with the man—he's going soft
On us."
Mr. O'Neill may have gone soft and
sentimental, but the results are
strangely satisfying. While "Ah, Wil
derness," which opened last night at
the National, may not be the play by
which people will judge him in the fu
ture, it is for the moment the least
harmful of his many works, and one
which may be thoroughly enjoyed if
the audience is prepared beforehand.
Last night the two ladies ahead of
Us were afraid that Mr. O'Neill was
going to talk too much. They were
afraid, in that brilliant scene where
George M. Cohan gives his son a
fatherly sermon, that O'Neill would
say as much and say it as frankly as
he had done in "Mourning Becomes
Electra," blanching the cheek of many
a matron who would rather read about
her crimes in silence than have them
dished up behind the footlights. And
they were then disappointed that he
hadn't said more, not realizing that
an author of Mr. O'Neill's standing
would never overstep the bounds of
decency in a play which relies for its
effects on honesty of thought and ac
curacy of detail.
They forgot, in other words, that
"Ah. Wilderness" is at least partly
autobiographical.
* * * *
if. whj£N O'Neill was writing "Ah.
Wilderness," he was coining phrases
cut of his own family album and
snatching random reflections out of
an averagely difficult past, he also
had George M. Cohan in the back of
his mind as the man who would play
Nat Miller, then it is easy to under
stand one of the real miracles of the
present theater. Because, without Mr.
Cohan, it is possible that this "comedy'·
might fall with a thud on its ear. Not
that it is insignificant, but that Mr.
Cohan shakes out its sails, gives it mo
mentum and carries It into such
sublime seas as may at first have
seemed pleasantly strange, even to
the author.
Mr. Cohan's characterization of Nat
Miller is probably the finest portrait
on the American stage today. It is
friendly, it is gentle, it is sly—but,
above all else, it is a man such as
you and I have seen many times in
homes that still may be called homes.
Having seen Will Rogers do the same
role—and do it very well at that—it
is even more our opinion that Mr.
Cohan's interpretation is the finest
that may be had. and that unlike Mr.
Rogers, who made Nat Miller a kindly
Will Rogers, he plays the role for all
it is worth, taking himself out of
himself with a will that should tickle
the fancy of any sane drama goer.
* * * *
V/ÏR. COHAN'S expert performance
as the "owner of the Evening
Globe," and more particularly as the
father of a boy who is progressing
through normal if violent growing
pains, is not. however, the only source
of delight in Mr. O'Neill's Booth Tar
kington play. There are others who
are keenly alive to its subtleties, di
viding their joys and sorrows with
almost the same skill that they did
in New York and making the play one
of the most pleasant that the local
American Theater Society will have
the fortune to present this season.
These include Jean Adair, who
grows and grows and grows in warmth
as Lue piay progresses ana wnuse &1111
ting needles are the very symbol of
a New England temperament; Joseph
Allen, who makes that scene at the
; dinner table one of the high spots of
the evening: Catherine Proctor, who
suffers Mr. Allen's vagaries with bril
liant torture—and Elisha Cook, jr.,
who plays the difficult role of the
boy with that overdone agony which
is perhaps necessary to insure it's
striking home. Although there were
those last night that felt that Mr.
Cook overstepped the mark, it seemed
to us that in his most important
scenes he was excellent—and that he
overplayed only when it didn't much
matter.
Thanks should also be extended to
! Robert Edmond Jones for those im
! maculate stage sets and to Phillip
! Moeller for having directed the play
ers with such zealous good humor.
And, if as yet, we have not men
tioned the plot—it is only hecause
the plot can take care of itself—and
because you know it already. It is
part of every girl and boy. man and
woman—it is merely the story of
youth's coming of age.

Exceptionally Cold Winter
Not Seen by Weather Bureau
Despite Big Acorn Crop and Heavy
Husks for Corn All Trends Are
to the Contrary.
BY THOMAS R. HENRY.
There may be the biggest crop of
acorns in 50 years, corn may nave
the heaviest husks since the Civil War
and fur on the foxes may be the
thickest in the memory of old trap
pers—but the Weather Bureau will
not predict an exceptionally cold
Winter. I
In some way it seems to have be- |
come a matter of common knowledge j
that all records for cold will be broken I
during the coming season, and In some ι
parts of the country people are laying
in extra supplies of coal and buying
especially heavy overcoats. Weather
Bureau officials have had a deluge of
amateur predictions and inquiries
about the predictions of other ama
teurs. It never predicts weather more
than a week ahead—but even aside
from this policy the meteorologists see
no trends indicating even a vague
likelihood of an exceptionally cold
Winter.
Ko Sound Reason.
For all they know It may be the
coldest season in anybody's experi
ence, but there is absolutely no sound
scientific reason for saying so. The
trends thus far would indicate, if
anything, the reverse. The area of
the United States, it is pointed out
by J. B. Kincer, chief of the clima
tological division, for the last half
century has been in an ascending
trough of temperatures with the
Winters showing milder and milder
averages, although there have been
some notable breaks. Even last Win
ter. one month of which broke rec
ords for the Northeastern area with
Washington on its Southern edge,
didn't disturb the sequence. For the
country as a whole it was consider
ably warmer than average. The
country also is in a trough of de
clining rainfall and even such an
interlude as the past September in
Washington didn't disturb the curve
as a whole. There is no evidence
that either of these troughs have
taken a downward turn.
But Mr. Klncer's curves are worth
less so far as predictions for a few
months, or even years, ahead are
concerned. Since the country is in
troughs of ascending temperature and
declining rainfall, there is a sonuwhat
greater likelihood of a warmer, drier j
Winter than the average. But it may |
be just the reverse, leaving other years
to smooth out the curves. Secondly,
Mr. Kincer points out, every Winter
there, is bound to be cold weather
somewhere, and nobody can tell where
it is going to strike. Last February
was not a cold month for the country
as a whole. In the West and South
it was an exceptionally warm month.
Last September, despite the experience
of Washington, which was about thev
wettest spot in the United States, was
a very dry month for the country as a
whole.
Comes From North.
Cold weather comes from the north
southward in the form of cold air
masses, or highs, which flow out of
the Arctic basin. The most frequent
path into the United States is down
the basin of the McKenzie River
through Western Canada, across Mon
tana and the Dakotas, and gradually
turning eastward. The Northwest
gets the full shock of them and con
sequently is normally the coldest part
of the country. Last Winter they j
started flowing down from Hudson
Bay, either by way of the Great Lakes
or the St. Lawrence. Consequently
the Northeast got what ordinarily
would come to the Northwest and the
Dakotas basked in Spring-like sun
shine.
There is no wray of predicting what
path these highs will follow this
Winter. It may, or may not, be a
pertinent circumstance that thus far
this Pall the path of the highs has
been more to the westward, showing
a possible drift towards the generally
favored route. Nobody yet has evolved
even a very critical theory as to the
reason for the changing courses of
these overflows of cold air. Hence
nobody can say what is going to
happen.
Of the many suggestions and let
ters asking for advice received in Mr.
Kincer's offica many relate local cir
cumstances indicating, according to
popular belief, a cold Winter. The
general basis is that Providence takes
care of its creatures. Thus there has I
been an exceptional crop of acorns In
nearby Maryland and Virginia this
year. It is naively assumed, Mr.
Kincer says, that this has been ar
ranged so that the squirrels will have
plenty of food during the Arctic
months to come. There are also re
ports of exceptionally thick corn
husks. But both the crop of acorns
and the thickness of the husk, the
clinatologist points out. depend en
tirely on the weather conditions of
the past season, not on those of the
season to come. Hence, so far as is
known, they can afford no valid basis
for prediction. The basis for most
predictions. Dr. Kincer says, is merely
that Winters have been above average
so long, for the country as a whole,
that it is about time there should be
one far below average. This, of course,
is without meaning to the scientists.
Various more fundamental theories
of weather—such as those dealing
with sunspot cycles, planetary con
figurations and seasonal conditions of
the oceans—have been advanced as
a basis for long-range predictions. All
these seek to get at the basic cause
of weather. But, the Weather Bureau
meteorologists say, even if any of
these should prove valid, it would
mean little, at present, in predicting
weather for any specific locality.
Big Cinema Shake-Up
Forecast on Grapevine
Schulberg Slated to Be Head Man Again at
Paramount, According to Film
Capital Rumors.
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.
HOLLYWOOD, Calif., November 13 (N.A.NA.).—According to
the Hollywood grapevine system, which apparently knows
what's going on before it reaches print, the cinema capital
is due for one of the biggest shake-ups in its celluloid
history.
Ben Schulberg, say the gossips, is practically assured of being
head man at Paramount again; Winfield Sheehan will go to
M.-G.-M., taking Warner Baxter and Will Rogers with him, and
David Selznick, vice president of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, is about
to leave that studio and produce pictures on his own.
Or the three mentioned above, only
Sheehan comes out to say there Is
no truth in the statement. And It
stands to reason that, should this
particular executive leave Pox, he
would mœt certainly add Janet Gay
nor and Spencer Tracy to the list
of stars he would want to laTce with
him.
Schulberg has nothing to say about
his becoming production head of Para
mount (which is tactful on his part), I
and Selznick remains coyly incom
municado regarding the report that
he will leave M-G-M at the termina
tion oi his present contract and make
pictures on his own.
Yet there are thoee on the lot who
have reported that Selznick and his
studio have long been on the verge
of a split. All done very nicely, you
understand, but a split, nevertheless.
Some go so far as to say that George
Cukor, brought from R-K-O through
Selznick's influence, has lost favor
with the producer, and no longer will
be with him in picture deals. They
indicate that the director of "Little
Women" hasn't done as brilliant work
on "David Copperfield," which may or
may not be true.
At any rate. Hugh Walpole seems
to be the white-haired boy in Selz
nick's cinema life right now, but
whether Cukor will follow his chief in
the departure from M-G-M that will
undoubtedly take place next Spring is
still a disputed question. With bet
ting on the side that he won't.
Armistice day may have brought
the subject up, but, at any rate, it
has been discovered that "Big
Bertha" wasn't the first type of gun
to have a name.
No, sir. Way back as far as 1197,
around the time of the siege of Acre,
Richard the Lion-hearted had a gun
which he called "the Bad Neighbor."
It hurled rocks as big as a house
and caused plenty of damage.
His courteous enemy, Saladin,
finally got a weapon and named it
"the Bad Relative," which acted ac
cording to its name. And remember
that in those days you were just
nobody if you couldn't produce a
stone-caster that would settle all
disputes.
How do I know? I've been talking
! to Harold Lamb, famous for his his
torical writings, especially those of
the Crusades. Lamb is now in Hol
lywood to work on Cecil De Mille s
next spectacle, entitled "The Cru
sades."
Marlene Dietrich will sing two
numbers in her next picture. "Caprice
Espagnole." which may be the last
film she makes under the direction
of Josef von Sternberg.
This is largely due to the fact that
her fans not only look for songs in
Marlene's pictures, out are very gooa
customers for the records she makes,
and this includes her French and
German records.
All Hollywood wished luck to Gin
ger Rogers and Lew Ayers on their
wedding day. Ginger is one of the
most popular girls in the film colony
and Lew should feel ai proud a.s he
he probably does.
