DRAMA NOW IN SECOND WEEK OF REPEAT ENGAGEMENT
Success Story Told
Of Play at National
“Tobacco Road” Is Now in Its 63d Consecu
tive Week of Record-Breaking Tour.
Henry Hull Starred.
By E. de S. Melcher.
WE HAVE asked Norman Markwell to write us a piece about "Tobacco
Road” this week, believing that to be the subject at hand near
est to the minds of a very ’arge public now having its final fling
of the year at the National. Mr. Markwell having been associated
with the play since something like the year "one” knows whereof he speaks.
Therefore we have asked him to speak:
"Tobacco Road,” with Henry Hull, the original New York Star, will enter
this week at the National Theater the*

markable record-breaking tour of the
principal theatrical centers of the
country. The popularity of the Jack
Kirkland-Erskine Caldwell serio-com
edy of the Georgia "bresh” country
has been so great in Washington that
not only was a return engagement
booked, but on returning here, en
thusiastic audiences have greeted "To
bacco Road” in such great numbers
that the return engagement has been
extended for another week, making
the impressive total of three weeks for
the Washington stand.
Henry Hull, who originated the role
of Jeeter Lester on Broadway, back in
1033, continued to play the tattered
patriarch of the Georgia hinterlands
for seven months in New York and
' then was forced to bequeath his dust
laden shoes and socks to his notable
successor. James Barton. The force
which removed Mr. Hull from "To
bacco Road" was a previous motion
picture contract, which, when it was
fulfilled, allowed Mr. Hull to exchange
• his lupine fangs used in "The Were
wolf of London” for his loved habili
ments of "Tobacco Road.”
'T'HUS. on March 18. 1935. In Los
A Angeles, when Mr. Hull's cine
matic efforts were concluded. "To
bacco Road" inaugurated its Nation
wide tour. Nine weeks in Los Angeles
was the first item in a record of ex
( ptional box office successes, followed
by five weeks in San Francisco and the
astounding Summer return engage
ment to Los Angeles for another six
v, ”eks.
To the tune of cheering audiences
, commingled with shattered box-office
records, "Tobacco Road" continued to
wind through the theatrical reaches
of the country. Salt Lake City. Den
ver, Colorado Springs, and then Chi
cago, where, after “Tobacco Road”
had played to capacity audiences for
i eight weeks, the mayor suddenly for
bade further performances.
From Chicago. "Tobacco Road” con
tinued unhindered and unhampered to
new box-office records in St. Louis,
where it played three weeks; the first
legitimate drama in 13 years to last
that long in the city of beef and beer.
Then the “road” took a turn to the
North and played Milwaukee for a
week, returning to Cincinatti over the
Christmas and New Year's holidays,
with the attendance so great that
extra matinees and midnight perfor
mances were given with the S. R. O.
sign at the box-office window.
pROM Cincinatti to Pittsburgh,
Henry Hull and company played
a week of "one nighters” enroute
visiting Ft. Wayne. Sandusky, Erie,
Youngstown and Toledo, where, in a
single performance, "Tobacco Road”
established the all-time high for the
theater, with a gross of over *7,000
for the single performance.
Pittsburgh held "Tobacco Road”
for three weeks, another record in
itself, but in the first week of the
engagement. "Tobacco Road” drew'
| more people to the Nixon theater
there, than had ever entered the
doors in the 30 years of the theater's
colorful life.
From Pittsburgh, the “road" led to
Baltimore, where after establishing
i another record, it moved on to Phila
! delphia for five weeks, only to return
| to Baltimore for another week's re
turn engagement and another record.
Back to Philadelphia, veered the
“road” for another two weeks, and
then on to Washington, where it en
joyed the largest attendance of any
play at the National in 40 years in
Holy Week.
From Washington. “Tobacco Road”
went to Boston, braved the censor and
other hitherto threatening officials
for five weeks to delighted audiences.
From Boston, the play returned to
Washington last Sunday and the
crow'ds and the advance sale at the
National all this week, have so im
i pressed the management that they
; have decided to extend the return en
I gagement all this week, which finally
terminates the seemingly endless run
! of "Tobacco Road,” which has become
j the Lincoln Highway of show business.

master.
Norma Shearer, of the fragile looks
—but Iron constitution—solves the
problem with a daily dozen on her
bed room floor every morning—even
when the call Is for a 9 o'clock studio
appearance. A cold shower and a
brisk rubdown with a hard towel fol
low. On non-working days, the act
ress swims in the pool of her Santa
! Monica home, and sprints leisurely
! along the beach with her dogs. Diet
ing occupies no place in her health
program. "Eat what you want—but
not too much of it.” is the unwritten
slogan hanging in the Shearer-Thal
berg dining room.
Husky Victor McLaglen keeps fit by
' horseback riding and road work. He
; rides two hours every day. getting up
at the crack of dawn if he has an
j early working call. Between pictures
| he makes the roads a better place to
j walk on In hilly La Crescenta—and at
the same time develops disease re
I sistanc-e.
The health skeletons In the closet
of busy Dick Powell include a rowing
machine, a sun-bath tent and a swim
ming pool. He is now installing a
bowling alley. In addition, the song
ster of the radio and screen mows
j the grass on his lawn, digs in his
gardens and plays badminton,
j Joan Crawford regards sun and air
as a screen actress's best friend—next
to her check book. When not work
ing she is usually to be found In her
own back yard improving her mind
with a book and her body with a sun
j tan. Joan is one of the lucky ones
who does not have to diet to keep
| slender, but she feels better when she
eats light food for luncheon.
Warner Baxter keeps healthy,
wealthy and wise with frequent sets
of tennis, at which he and his usual
partner. Ronald Colman, are consid
‘ ered very adept. Both boys are not
particularly careful of what they' eat,
| believing that exercise alone solves
man's problem of keeping fit.
