A POPULAR MUSICAL REVUE ARRIVES FROM BROADWAY
_ - _ A - + ' ' '
Top-Notch Screen Actors
Listed for This Season
Paulette Goddard, Muni, Benchley and
Chaplin Mentioned—“Bee” Lillie at
Her Best—“Ziegfeld” Coming.
By E. de S. Melcher.
PEOPLE axe forever asking. "Who do you think was the best in The
Flaming Bush' or ‘The Burning Bow’ or 'Mutiny on the Bounty1?”
There never can be a "good.’’ It must always be the "best.”
In the movies it is almost impossible to select a "best,” since
films slide by so fast and so easily that before one good deed is done another
may have outdistanced it. Thus, while we can say that Bette Davis was
excellent in "Dangerous.” we should❖
also say that she was better in “The
Petrified Forest.” Just as we can say
that Victor McLaglen would never
have received the Academy award for
his work in “Professional Soldier.”
With this In mind, we should like
to offer a list of performances which
strike us as having been “tops" during
the past few months. Performances
which might have won medals if they
had been revealed at the proper time.
Here, at any rate, are some actors
and actresses who have done excel
lently well:
Harriet Hilliard, newcomer, who will
be even better when she gets back to
being a blond, but who in "Follow
the Fleet” reveals herself as an actress
as well as a personality.
KiC'h Herbert in “Colleen.” This
is yet to come. But when you see it
we think you’ll agree that Mr. Herbert
at last rings the gong—good and hard.
Paulette Goddard as Charlie Chap
lins Cinderella in “Modem Times."
Miss Goddard is one of the few screen
actresses who seems absolutely natu
ral. Her work in this is refreshingly
different.
Paul Muni in “The Story of Louis
Pasteur"—a characterization which is
so deft, dignified and appealing that
It plays rings around even “Scarface.”
Josephine Hutchinson in the same
film. Her best screen performance.
Gary Cooper (waking up in the
morning) in "Desire.” In this scene
Cooper becomes definitely one of the
movie Immortals.
Mickie Mouse on skates and on the
polo field.
Robert Benchley in his now famous
sleeping saga. While this has been
crowned as a real achievement by the
academy we doubt whether the public
at large has seen enough of it. We
suggest a return booking.
Franchot Tone, in “Dangerous,'’ a
difficult role which he did with his
customary polish.
And Mr. Chaplin, in “Modern
Times,” who proves In that scene
wherein he lets that boat slide into
the sea, that his talent as the world’s
greatest pantomime expert has not
diminished with the years.
J^ONT miss Beatrice Lillie in this
week's revue at the National. The
Inimitable “Bee” has waxed rather
than waned during the past few
months, and as one who saw “At
Home Abroad” on its opening night in
Boston, and then subsequently almost
every time he was taken to the theater
in New York, we can truthfully say
that Miss Lillie has gotten funnier and
funnier as she has gone along, and is
now In the very pink.
That scene in which she discusses
those “double, dozen damask" some
thing-or-others, is one of the high
points in both revue writing and revue
acting.
Her supporting cast Is also some
thing to write home about. Ethel
Waters, has some of her brightest
costumes, if not always her best
songs. Reginald Gardiner, English
importation, scores in an amusing
monologue. Paul Haakon, the best of
the young dancers, has a bull-f.ght
number which is considered one of
the finest ballets that the musical
comedy stage has produced. And
Mitzi Mayfair has a dance towards
the end of the second act that raises
the roof.
So, go and laugh with Miss Lillie
tomorrow night, or the night there
after, etc. Her show is a sprightly
carnival, fun of fun and handsome
people. And it is produced with a
lavish hand by tlie not so always
lavish Shuberts.
^REAT things are being spoken in
advance of “The Great Ziegfeld,”
which comes to the National the week
of April 19. When it was first stated
that M-G-M had produced a film
which ran over three hours, studio
moguls threw up their hands and be
gan to cry “wolf” down the Culver
City corridors. Said they: “Come on—
we've got to chop an hour out of this
'Ziegfeld’ film.”
Then they sat down and saw It An$
again they threw up their hands. But
this time in joy and exultation. Said
i they: “There has never been any
thing like it." They said other things.
Among them: “Don’t you dare cut out
one minute of this 3-hour and 10
minute entertainment."
So three hours and ten minutes it
will be. And Norman Pyle, who is
hauling up the flag ahead of the film,
has been doing a song and dance
around the provinces ever since he
saw it. And every one else who had
anything to do with it, such as Pro
ducer (Smart Guy) Hunt Stromberg,
Director Robert Z. Leonard, William
Powell. Myma Loy, Louise Rainer, Vir
ginia Bruce and Fanny Brice and
other members of the cast, have been
In excellent humor since they saw the
picture, too.
We saw Luise Rainer in a blue dress
sing an Anna Held song the first day
the film was started in Hollywood.
And if we never see another thing that
will still be plenty good enough for us.
If the rest of the picture is as attrac
tive as was Miss Rainer singing that
song then we can predict immortality
I for it ahead of time.
“Winterset”
At National
Next Week
Burgess Meredith and
Margo on Tour
With Play.
J^JAXWELL ANDERSON'S "Win
terset," considered one of the
outstanding dramas of the current
season, comes to the National Thea
ter March 30 for an engagement of
one week. The play recently con
cluded an engagement at the Martin
Beck Theater in New York and comes
to Washington following engagements
in Boston and Philadelphia. From
here it goes to Pittsburgh and Chi
cago, the only other stops on the
brief tour.
Guthrie McClintic, the producer of
“Winterset,” also staged the play. The
two stage settings were designed by
Jo Mielziner and have attracted con
siderable attention in New York.
The leading role in "Winterset” is
portrayed by Burgess Meredith, a
young actor whose splendid perform
ance in this play has elevated him
from near obscurity to stardom.
Though he attracted attention for
his work several seasons ago in “Lit
tle Ol’ Boy,” "She Loves Me Not” and
“Flowers of the Forest,” it is "Win
terset” which has brought him the
most praise from the critics.
Featured with Mr. Meredith in
“Winterset” is Margo, young Mexican
actress who will be remembered for
her work in the Hecht-MacArthur
motion picture, "Crime Without Pas
sion,” and whose latest film engage
ment was in “Robin Hood of Eldorado”
for M.-G.-M., soon to be released
locally.
Others in the company are Lee
Baker. Myron McCormick. Theodore
Hecht, Harold Johnsrud. Morton L.
Stevens, Anatole Winogradoff, Billy
Quinn. Abner Biberman, Helen Wynn
and John Phillber.

New Revue
Opens Here
Tomorrow
“At Home Abroad” at
the National for
One Week.
"AT HOME ABROAD,” successful
Breadway musical now on a
limited tour, will open tomorrow
night at the National Theater foi
an engagement of one week. Th(
revue has been sent on its limited
road tour by the Shuberts while still
running successfully in New York
because of the.fact Beatrice Lillle'i
contract expires June 1.

Abroad” were written by Howard
Dietz, with contributions by Ray
mond Knight, known for his radic
work, and the characters are taker
into foreign lands and fun is had
with customs and traditions.
Music for the revue, written by Ar
thur Schwartz, provides Miss Lillie

Abroad” he has devised a new plan
of unit scenery.
Portrait of a Dancer
HIS father was a concert singer.
His mother is a writer. His
father's sister is a monologlst.
With such a background, it
Is perhaps not unnatural that Paul
Draper, instead of turning out to be
an engineer, should have become, at
26, one of America’s best tap dancers.
Under contract to Warner Bros,
studios, red-headed, blue-eyed young
Draper went to Hollywood from New
York by airplane without ballyhoo,
but backed by a well-earned reputa
tion as a dancing artist, to play in his
first film. ’’Colleen,” showing at the
Earle Theater next Friday.
“Thumbs Up,” the Eddie Dowling
revue on Broadway, was the show in
which he scored a Gotham hit; also
Billy Bose’s Casino de Paree show .. .
and he made numerous appearances
at Radio City Music Hall. In “Col
leen.” he and the nimble-footed Miss
Keeler team in some fast-stepping
dance numbers.
An American, though born in Flor
ence, Italy, on October 25, 1909, he Is
the son of the late Paul Draper, con
cert singer. His mother, Muriel
Draper, is a poet and a novelist.
He went to the Lincoln Grammar
School in New York; then to the Mor
ristown, N. J„ High School and the
Loomis School in Windsor. Conn. His
college training was received at the
Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute of
Engineering.
In high school and college he went
in for various sports; in fact, almost
all of them. He was variously on
wrestling, track, foot ball, gymnasium,
fencing and base ball teams. Phys
ically. he is nearly 6 feet tall; his
present weight is 165 pounds.
"We were on a European trip when
I was 21.” he explains, “and the man
ager of the Plaza Theater in London
gave me a tryout. I'd been inspired
to try for stage work through a mix
ture of vanity, exhibitionism and lazi
ness. Once on the stage, as a dancer,
my dreams of engineering were defi
nitely forgotten.”
Back in America. Draper went into
vaudeville. Then, for the season of
1934, he went into the cast of Eddie
Dowling's revue, "Thumbs Up.” The
opening night, it will be recalled, he
literally "stopped the show.”
Josephine Hutchinson he names as
his favor.actress. Others he likes
are Charles Chaplin, Walter Connolly,
Conrad Veidt, Greta Garbo and
Charles Laughton. Outside of danc
ing. he is most interested in the arts
of music, writing and painting. He
has written, he confesses, "a few very
bad poems and some musical criti
cism.” He neither plays nor sings.
Russia interests him most of all
foreign countries. He has traveled
much—Italy, France, England, Switz
erland. Mexico and South America.
Good food, wine and fast cars are
his extravagances. His favorite foods
are blini, steak, milk, zabaglione, Brus
sels sprouts, black bread and grouse.
He plays tennis. His favorite sports,
as a spectator, are wrestling, hockey
and tennis.
His Jobs, other than theatrical, have
been: Sailor on oil tanker, lumberjack,
farmer, ditch-digger and music critic.
His best friends—Frank Tuttle, Gilbert
Seldes, Paul Galileo and Carl Tucker.

Group Theater Presents
New Version of Old Story
“Case of Clyde Griffith” is Based on Fact
and Theodore Dreiser’s
Story.
By Percy Hammond.
NEW YORK. March 31.
THE Group Theater, one of the souhdest of the advocates of change,
shows symptoms of brainstorm in its latest protest against the sorry
scheme of things, “Case of Clyde Griffiths.” Hitherto its expostula
tions have been comparatively reasonable, expressing unfriendly dis
approval in a persuasive, If partial way. While its purpose is to raze the
social and economic structure and replace It with something less worldly, It
Ilan uvvu wuQwaMvvy «wu ***
tacks. In plays that execrate the
prosperous and eulogize the poor it
has suggested that we whirl further
to the left in the search for justice,
though without definitely pointing
where and how. It has hinted that
the Creator erred, if He did not al
together make a botch of this ne
glected nook in the universe, failing to
distribute fortune and misfortune
equitably among the inhabitants. That
some of us are beautiful and ethers
eyesores, it regards as not square, as
It does the fact that I am blind while
my fellow critics can see, and that
Paul’s wife is faithful while Peter’s is
false. Is it, the group has inquired,
right that Clifford Odets is able to
compose interesting dramas, and that
some of his brethren lack his ca
pacity? Luck, health, genius, talent
and happiness ought to be common
property in the group’s opinion, and it
is steadfast in its efforts to make what
Mr. Balfour called the meanest of the
planets a paradise for one and all.
BOT when it twists a simple and!
notorious case of seduction and
murder into an indictment of the so
cial and industrial system it becomes
too prejudiced. Some years ago, it
may be recalled, an amateur libertine
named Chester Gillette, made spurious
love to, betrayed and assassinated an
innocent factory girl in a city in
Northern New York State. It was a
plain example of selfish passion and
its hysterical consequences. Chester,
a weak and evil snob, attracted the
attention of a wealthy belle, the
daughter of a suburban capitalist. In
order to marry her and to live luxuri
ously ever after he drowned the victim
in a convenient lake. Although he had
taken shrewd pains to hide his crime
it was found out and he was tried and
executed. Seeking material for a novel.
Mr. Theodore Dreiser, a sympathetic
friend of his fellow unfortunates, ex
humed Chester Gillette as Mr. Shaw
exhumed Joan of Arc and returned
him to discussion.
JN MR. Dreiser’s account of Chester’s
crime Erwin Piscator, a German
scholar and dramatist, discovered a
text upon which to preach a sermon
against society. It was not Chester
Gillette’s fault that he destroyed his
sweetheart and himself, but that of
the cruel collar-and-shirt industry. If,
as Herr Piscator contends, there were
no such wrongs as prosperity and pov
erty, boys would not ruin girls and
suffer the result thereof. This, I think,
is going a little too far in denouncing
a dog that already has a bad name.
For Chester's villainy, it seems to me,
was due to an inherent urge rather
than to the machinations of the harm
ful dollar.
“£JASE of Clyde Griffiths" is now
presented at the Ethel Barry
more Theater with all the group's
grim determination to be Improvingly
destructive. Its scenery is of the ad
vanced sort, an eerie combination of
color and shape having no resem
blance to the ordinary stage’s coun
terfeit reality. Mr. Morris Carnovsky
appears In the auditorium as a one
man chorus, explaining the whys and
the wherefores of Herr Piscator’s dis
tortion to those who otherwise might
be unable to grasp Its meaning. Per
haps in his generous interpretations
Mr. Carnovsky is meant to be a sym
bol. as liberally he shares his under
standing with less competent drama
lovers. Mr. Alexander Kirkland as
Chester Gillette, alias Clyde Griffiths,
looks and acts superbly and is as sin
cere a player as the circumstances
permit. Other members of the superior
group company do well by their roles
—from pretty Miss Phoebe Brandt, an
expert in tearfulness, to Mr. Luther
Adler as the doctor to whom she
pleads that he rid her of her illegit
imate fetus.
pERHAPS it will be amusing again
* to compile a list of minor imper
sonators who, by the excellence of their
performances, have helped to make
the good plays better. I have in mind
many eloquent characterizations that,
in the natural enthusiasm for the
stars, are neglected. The following
catalog is neither profound nor offi
cial but I print it as some vagrant
impressions of acting in its most elus
ive form:
Joseph Grecnwald as the fat, greasy,
effusive and lovable Greek of "The
Postman Always Rings Twice.”
Edward Chianello as Couchon, the
Bishop of Beauvais, in the Cornell
Shaw version of "Saint Joan,” and
Arthur Byron as the inquisitor, as
he calmly and in a long, long speech
puts heresy out of business.
Miss Phyis Welch, an understudy
for Miss Doris Dudley, as a patrician
and sophisticate ingenue in Mr. Behr
man's bright comedy, "End of Sum
mer.”
Minor Watson, also in "End of Sum
mer," as a complete representation
of an aristocratic American business
man. !
Rex Harrison, as a jaunty English
novelist and psychologist who sweeps
the mists away from the confused
mind of Miss Evelyn Laye, a beau
tiful neurotic.
