New Guild Tackles
Children’s Film Problem
Drama Department Prepares to Use Its Aid
in Keeping Junior on the Right Track
As to His Pictures.
BY JAY CARMODY.
HEN the telephone rings in the drama department on a Saturday
morning, any Saturday morning, the chances are that it is a
Washington mother on the other end of the line.
"Where,” she wants to know, “is there a picture today suitable
for children?”
It is the practice of the drama department at such times to pick up the
list of films currently showing In
Washington, turn on the full force
of memory and judgment, and try
conscientiously to select a picture it
can recommend. It is quite a re
sponsibility. It is a difficult job. In
fact, it is well nigh Impossible to
fulfill it when its varied aspects are
considered.
The task is one, indeed, for the
child psychologist working in co
operation with film producers. The
best the non-specialist can do is run
through the list of available pictures
and eliminate those which he thinks
children might well not see. It is a
pretty negative procedure and full of
pitfalls and possible errors. It may
spare the innocent child the pain ol
pictured murder, robbery, bloodshed
and the 54 other varieties of original
and acquired sin, but it is no guar
antee that he will be entertained.
In the course of several Saturdays
at pictures of this department’s
recommendation, he might develop
* pretty low opinion of its judgment.
He might be justified, too. It would
not be his fault, nor the department’s
but rather that of the system. The
pictures left on a list selected on the
basis of harmlessness not always are
the kind of fare the child has a right
to expect for his money, or his
father’s
* 5k * *
£*OMES now to the assistance of
the child and his parents—not
to mention the enormous relief of
at least one drama department—the
Junior Cinema Guild. Using the
Rialto Theater as a proving ground
the organization is running a test
to determine whether pictures espe
cially selected for children are really
desirable.
The first picture of the series of
four, “Timothy’s Quest,” was shown
last Saturday. Three others on sub
sequent Saturdays, with "Sequoia”
listed for this week, are on the pro
gram. If they prove sufficiently popu
lar, there will be a full season of
Junior Cinema Guild pictures next
Fall. They will start in October and
continue through March.
Three women prominent in the
entertainment field here are behind
the venture. They are Mrs. Louise
Noonan Miller, co-manager of the
Rialto; Miss Bess Davis Schreiner,
managing director of the American
Theater Society, and Miss Matilda
Young, local representative of the
Children’s Theater of New York.
It is not to be inferred from this
that film producers and exhibitors
generally are oblivious of the child’s
requirements for motion picture en
tertainment. As a group, they have
as much experience in parenthood as
any other. And, they are quite as
fond of children. Within the limits
of their business technique, they try
to reach the child audience on speci
fic occasions. They cannot specialize
too much, however, for reasons that
are obvious.
The whole problem is a diflicult
one. Every effort to solve it is of wide
spread interest. The latest one in
Washington is no exception to the
rule.
* * =k sk
J^EWSPAPER life and its supposed
glamour are becoming Hollywood
fixations. Pictures without at least
__ _
one newspaper man—a d^ar, mad fel
low usually—are becoming rare
enough to be museum pieces. The
presence of the newspaper man or
newspaper men, is neatly concealed
by the title sometimes. "Love on the
Run" was a case in point. You would
have thought it Was about love, but
once you got into the same theater
with the picture you found it full of
reporters and heiresses, as well as
sentimentality and comedy.
There was even a picture called
"Woman Wise,” which had to do
with the dumbness of a newspaper
man in love.
The one coining next to the Capitol
has a title that hides the presence
of two newspaper men who carry the
burden of its story. "Espionage" is
its name. It probably will increase
the public conviction that newsmen
are a mad lot.
* * * *
gO FAR it has not been revealed
that there are any reporters hid
ing behind Jessie Matthews in “Head
Over Heels in Love.” That word
“heels” in the title, of course, might
steer some persons away from betting
there were none, however. With Miss
Matthews to sing and dance, how
ever, the picture may prove a suc
cess without a character recruited
from journalism.
* * * *
J^ESEARCH workers who labored on
j v the picture, “Fire Over England,”
could not have had an easier time of
it had they found alive a dozen an
cient eye-witnesses to the sinking of
the Spanish Armada. The English
man’s interest in his country’s his
tory being what it is, the armada
incident was a story as thoroughly
told in libraries and museums as if
it happened but a few years ago.
According to United Artists, releas
ing the picture which opens at Keith’s
on Wednesday, finding a song of the
period was a great deal simpler than
getting one for a modern musical
show. Some one just went to the
museum files and dug out a ballad
written by Henry VIII. As ideally
iwiited to its purpose it was as an Irv
ing Berlin or Cole Porter melody to
day.
Wonder if the credits include a
line, “Songs by Henry VIII?” That
would be something.

Kindler Leads Symphony
In 57th Sunday Concert
Cheers and “Bravos” Greet Presentation at
Constitution Hall—Conductor Recalled
Many Times.
THE National Symphony Orchestra, Dr. Hans Kindler, conductor, gave its
fifty-seventh Sunday concert yesterday afternoon in Constitution Hall
before a large and very enthusiastic audience. Not every orchestra or
musician who plays in the National Capital can so enthuse an audience
as to hear cheers and "bravos,” but following the orchestra’s opening number,
J. S. Bach's ’’Passacaglia and Fugue,” Dr. Kindler was recalled many times
ana witn tne orchestra standing re- •;
ceived much applause and not a few
cheers. The orchestra played well and
in this number there was tremendous
volume, the composition being par
ticularly rich in orchestration.
The soloists yesterday were Ethel
Bartlett and Rae Robertson, duo
pianist who in their former appear
ances here have made many friends
through their excellent playing to
gether. They chose two concertos
yesterday for two pianos and orches
tra, both listed on the program as
“first time in Washington.” The j
phrase is dangerous except with new
compositions. The first concerto was 1
that in E fiat, by C. P. E. Bach, in :
which the pianists had ample oppor
tunity to show their brilliant tech
nique. Mr. Robertson played with
much more precision than Miss Bart
lett, although there was much more
color and warmth in her tone. There
was lacking in their performance yes
terday the perfection of ensemble
which so distinguished their playing
before. In fact there were phrases
that were ragged, Miss Bartlett being
careless in striking chords with both
hands simultaneously.
The “Concerto in D Minor,” written
by the French modernist, Francis
Poulenc, was without doubt played in
Washington for the first time yester
day, and from its reception it probably
will not be the last. The composition
itself is delightful in its humor, and
is quite original in the treatment of
the brief themes. In the opening of
the first movement it is at times some
what reminiscent of the childish duet,
"Chop Sticks," and in the second
movement, "Larghetto,” the lovely
theme is tossed back and forth from
one piano to the other and the orches
tra. Following this number the pian
ists returned, after numerous recalls,
and played a "Chorale,” of J. S. Bach,
for two pianos, arranged by Mary
Howe of Washington, and were obliged
to play a second encore.
The orchestra completed the long
program with "Le Repos de la Sainte
Famille,” from Berlioz’ "L’Enfance du
Christ," and Liszt's famous "Mefisto"
waltz.
The size of the audience yesterday,
in spite of the bad weather, and the
enthusiasm expressed is encouraging
that the drive for a sustaining fund
for the National Symphony Orches
tra, which now is under way, will be
more than successful. The goal of the
Symphony Association is high, but
the work of the orchestra and the
place it has made for itself in the
National Capital warrants its success.
In the very few years—this is the
sixth season—the organization has
grown to a worthwhile orchestra, play
ing the best music with good tone, ex
cellent ensemble and authentic in
terpretations. And this Dr. Kindler
has accomplished with the help of
music lovers in Washington.—K. B.
COMICS FEATURE BILL
AT GAYETY THIS WEEK
“Reds" Marshall and “Hap’’ Hiatt
Provide Entertainment for
Lake's Customers.
yyiTH “Reds’’ Marshall and “Hap”
Hiatt as the funsters and with
Tom Bundy and Murray Leonard
rendering their usually flawless sup
port in the straight-man assignments,
Col. Jimmy Lake is assured of a
mirthful week. Although revelatory
technique comes in for its full share
of attention, it is the comics who fur
nish the largest measure of enter
tainment. Marshall, in particular,
affords the customers more than the
usual quota of laughs, presenting
new touches to old scenes.
The feminine specialty performers
are entirely satisfactory, however,
what with Edna Dee, Dolores Dawn
and Boo La Von to do the honors.
The titlan-tressed “toddler" is back
with her dependable bag of tricks,
and the Misses Dawn and La Von pro
vide secondary appearances which
merit the adjective, “eye-filling.”
Claire Stone sings acceptably, ren
ders capable assistance in the scenes
and acts as couturiere in a scene
which has the lovely lasses leaving
the stage in full and interesting dress.
There are two novelty acts which
merit particular attention, Glenn
Mason and Maurice and Maria. Mason
is a xylonphonist—something differ
ent on a burlesque house stage to
start. Furthermore, he is a hammer
wielder, capable of contending with
the best. Presenting a classical selec
tion, a medley of old favorites and a
present-day hit, Mason displays in
telligent playing throughout, and the
first-show audience liked him very
much—proof that a topnotch novelty
act can win a burlesque “house.” That
other item is an adagio team, with
the female member performing some
of the most intricate contortions seen
in quite a while. Maurice and Maria
constitute a superb dance combina
tion. They are best as an adagio
duo, but no fault can be found with
their ball room or tap efforts.

twenty-second American picture,

Capital’s Drama Qroups
Civic Theater to Introduce Double Cast
ing—Cue and Curtain in “New Gossoon.”
BY HARRY MacARTHUR.
ANOTHER innovation is about to be made locally by the Washington
Civic Theater. This time it's double casting, a device practiced by
the Metropolitan Opera Co., the Moscow Art Theater and other
prominent organizations. Double casting is to be introduced here in
the Civic Theater's production of "Girls in Uniform,” with Mary Jo Day and
Virginia Phelan alternating in the central role of Manuela while the other
piaya f/ucigcuu, emuiaici ui me .yv/uiig <
students.
Constance Connor Brown found
both girls so well suited to the leading
role she couldn't choose between them,
so they have been alternating at re
hearsals and will continue to alter
nate w'hen the play reaches the public
March 31 at the Wardman Park
Theater.
Double casting can have a fine
effect on the other members of the
cast of a play and is highly recom
mended by many eminent theater
authorities, including Stanislawski
and Nemirovich-Danchenko of the
Moscow Art Theater. For one thing,
a fresh personality in a central part
on alternate nights keeps the rest
of the players on their toes and con
sequently gives the whole production
a lift.”
The Civic Theater’s director, Day
Tuttle, who has been taking a vaca
tion from the theater in Hollywood,
will return to assist Miss Brown in
the final week of rehearsal.
Friday and Saturday nights of this
week are the dates set for the Cue
and Curtain Club’s production of
George Shiel’s ‘The New Gossoon,”
at the Wardman Park Theater. The
comedy of Irish farm life is consid
ered one of the best of the author’s
many plays, marking the trend of
the Irish drama away from the plays
of the revolution to an attempt to
portray the rich color and native
humor of the country. It was done
in this country by the Abbey Theater
Players on their last tour here.
The cast includes Charles Mc
Vicker, Maxine Mitchell, Harold
Minor, Betty Griswold, Margaret
Young, Mimi Norton, Tom Dobson,
John Kendrick and E. Edgar Jama
gin, most of whom will be remem
bered from work in other plays by
the George Washington group.
‘‘The New Gossoon” is being staged
by Marvin Beers.
Protest, an original musical
dramatization of a social issue, done
in the “living newspaper” manner,
will be the main event of the first
major production of the season by the
New Theater Group of Washington.
It will be presented Thursday, Friday
and Saturday nights at the Odd
Fellows’ Hall, Ninth and T streets,
as the feature of a group of three
one-act plays.
ff we were not aware of the libel
laws you could read here what the
publicity department of the Stella
Maris Club has to say about the cast
at “Stop Thief,” which it is present
‘ ing April 18, 19 and 20. If you”ll
promise to bring us cigarettes to the
gaol you can read it anyway. Here
; it is, a direct quote:
j “Mr. Robert Halstead (he's the
director) had little difficulty in secur
ing the services of an able crook to
play the part of Doogan in the play.
There are exactly four out of the
seven main male parts in the produc
tion filled by lawyers.”
End quote.
Julian Zler and Aubrey Becker have
been cast in the leading roles in the
Blackfriars’ Guild production of Lynn
Root’s “The Milky Way,” to be staged
at St. Paul’s Auditorium April 11, 12
and 13. Others in important parts
are Leo Brady, Peggy Meyers, Charles
Garrity, Henry Quirk, Bob Dillon,
Pearson Stanley and Richard Roberts.
Denis Connell is directing.
Other things: "The Pirates of Pen
zance’’ will be staged Thursday and
Saturday nights at McKinley High
School by the Tech Opera Club, with
Edwin Plowman, John Greenip, Wil
liam Downey, Stanley Theodore Vial,
Anna Galbraith and Elizabeth Bar
ringer in leading roles . . . Tech’s
symphony orchestra, directed by
Dore Walten, will provide the score
. . . Eastern High School’s Spring
play, Goldsmith's "She Stoops to
Conquer,” will be presented at the
school Thursday and Friday morn
ings at 10:15 a.m. . . . The impressive
Lenten play, "The Vision,” by Rev.
John Bums of Villanova College, will
be presented Tuesday, Thursday and
Friday nights at Hurney Hall by the
Immaculate Conception Parish . . .
The play is being staged by E. Francis
McDevitt . , . “Whatsoever Ye Sow,”
a Biblical drama by Mary S. Hitch
cock, will be staged Tuesday, Wednes
day and Thursday evenings by the
young people of the Washington City
Church of the Bethren at the church,
Fourth street and North Carolina ave
nue southeast . . . The St. Paul’s
Players are rehearsing Booth Tark
ington's “Clarence,” and will present
it in the near future . . . "Lysistrata”
will follow the Civic Theater's pro*
duction of "Girls in Uniform.”
