An Open Letter to W. W. i
On Those Tennis Racquets
All it Asks Is That Films Concede
There’s Been Progress in Design;
Garfield Gets That Contract
By JAY CARMODY.
An open letter to Walter Wanger:
Dear Mr. Wanger: With so many things in the world about
which to be indignant, it is silly of us to protest the type of tennis
racquets used for illustrating the point that the cinema’s radiant
ladies also are athletic. But today, a very hot day, we do protest
that bat (tennis) which your still department has photograped in
the hands of Laraine Day.
As a person who has given an embarrassing
number of decades to tennis—not to mention
several 50-gallon bomb-proof drums of perspira
tion—we recognize that racquet as the old cham
pion model, a type that expired 10 years before
Miss Day was listed in “Births Today.” It used
to cost $4, strung with cat, back in the days
when mother couldn’t get it through her head
that a good bat was 28.5 per cent of a decent
forehand drive, 38.9 per cent of a prayerful back
hand. In other words, it’s something that
would not be kept around as an heirloom by
the sentimental widow of a village tennis cham
pion in the 1910s: also 11s, 12s, 13s, etc. More
over, it is a serious reflection on the progress
made in the design of tennis equipment; the
Jay carmody. equivalent, W. W„ of a homemade shinny club
as a substitute for a polo mallet. As one of Hollywood's better polo
players, you ought to know what that means!
We know, of course, that Miss Day and the shorts-bra combi
nation she is wearing are elements of the picture likely to divert
attention from the tennis racquet she is holding. It is to the ad
vantage of the species, no doubt, that such should be the case.
But it certainly would not be to its disadvantage to include in the
picture a racquet as modem and sleek looking as Miss Day herself.
Now. would it?
The indignation which inspires this protest is a cumulative
thing. Department stores, dress shoppes and other institutions
which have much more occasion to use photographs and drawings
of girls swinging tennis racquets are far worse offenders than your
Etudio, the movies in general. They lie so far beyond the province
of the critic, however, that he would be silly to address a demurrer
to them. Besides, they might not be polite in telling him where he
could go to fry his fish!
With their passion for exactitude—the thing that inspires them
to reproduce a Louis XV hair-do to the last spit curl, as if any one
would know the difference—the movies might be the very institution
to reform the world in this matter of modern tennis racquets for
illustration purposes.
By way of encouraging you to make a start, we'll use an identi
cal picture of Miss Day any time you send us one with a modern
racquet in her hand. THAT picture would make a lovely ornament
on hot days like this. J. C.
P. S. Saw where it was 102 degrees hot out there the other day!
Maybe Mr. S. Kasten, 485 M street
8.W., ought to be in the movie
business. At any rate, Mr. Kasten
guessed within 76 persons just how
many would see “Andy Hardy Meets
Debutante” during its first week at
the Palace. Miss Eleanor H. Mott.

the women's division of the contest,

guessing talents.

Why Washington is first
to see this new kind of
motion picture
Tomorrow night, ‘ THE RAMPARTS WE WATCH”—a saga of
modern America—is being presented to Washington for its
premiere performance.
This is because of the national significance of much that this
new picture reveals, and the imminence of dangers for which it
supplies enlightening background.
It iaa picture such as you have never seen before—an absorb
ing record of the fateful years that began in 1914—a gripping
story of the great figures on the world stage, and of ordinary
American people like yourself and all of us.
To see “THE RAMPARTS WE WATCH” is to store up a mem
orable and inspiring motion-picture experience!

WE WATCH”

OH, WHAT YOU SAID!—Or this, as arranged, might be called a
study in what happens when a comedian waxes pensive. The
thinker is Red Skelton; the pretty girl who seems to be almost
discouraged by it is Mrs. S., known on the stage as Edna Still
well. And the stage will be the Earle’s; the date, tentatively, the
week starting Friday; at any rate, soon.

The Roadside Gets the Bird,
But It’s Voluntary
By HARRY MacARTHl R.
The Roadside Theater, it wants you to know, knows a missel-thrush
when it hears one—or at any ratfe knows what is not a missel-thrush
when it does not hear one. The theater wants this made clear just to
forestall any complaints of amateur ornithologists who might howl with
anguish at tonight's first performance of “The Frog" when the bird song
recording heard in Act III, Scene One, turns out to be not the call of the
turdus viscivorus. <r
A turdus viscivorus, we are fairly
reliably informed, is what an ama
teur ornithologist would call a
missel-thrush, but this is beside the
point. The point is that if you know
where there is in Washington a re
cording of the vocal ecstasy of a
missel-thrush you know more than
the Roadside people or the man in
charge of the local sound effects
library at N. B. C. He couldn't even
find a chickadee, a mocking bird, a
Lafayette Park pigeon, not even a
starling solo, when Director Ralph
Fowler went around the other day
Finally the sound effects man
uncovered an item titled “Two
Minutes and Twenty Seconds in a
Bird Store.” Certain this was
something new by the Raymond
Scott Quintet, the discouraged Mr.
Fowler listened, anyhow. Turned
out to be just what the title main
tained and Ralph decided it would
do.
“Take it along?” asked Mr.
Sound Effects.
“No,” said Mr. F., “we want to

use It as background for a new
record. And we have to have re
volver shots.” The man dug up
his best pistol shot effect, tried it.
“Sounds like peas dropping on a
roof,” growled Mr. Fowler.
The record expert looked to his
files, brought forth an explosion of
sound that floored every one near,
then smirked. Mr. Fowler, unim
pressed, just said it was fine, but
any one could recognize a shotgun
and he wanted something sharper
Revolver shots.
“Something sharper.” the radio
man murmured, bringing forth an
other record. "We've found this
one,” he said, placing the record
on the turntable, “very effective”—
he turned the switch—"in repre
senting the detonation”—he put the
needle in the groove—“OF A
FRENCH 75!”
So that's what you will hear to
night and every night for the com
ing two weeks in Act III. scene 1,
of “The Frog.” Two minutes and 20
seconds in a bird store and a
French 75 land that is really only

Soak." But Mr. Linger, the disap
pearer gadget expert of the trio,
still will labor moodily with that
collection of mirrors and lights
with which he hopes to make actors
and parts thereof vanish. He’s
given up promising. Says it may
make its bow tonight, later in the
week or not at all.
The press department, by this
time, is worried no more about
‘‘The Skull” and has turned to the
next Cross Roads offering, Noel
Cowards "Fallen Angels." Ordi
narily the one-man publicity crew,
having determined to investigate a
forthcoming play, would just bor
row a script to read. The crew got
fooled this time, though. The only
printed copies of "Fallen Angels”
available aren't, unless you can con
vince the British publishing firm
which printed it that your need for
a copy, or copies, of "Fallen Angels”
is a more important matter than
others with which Britain is con
cerned at the moment.
So the cast is rehearsing from
rented mimeographed scripts, each
actor with his own “sides.” Run- 1
ning from one player to another,
pleading for a glance at this script
and that, has given the publicity
department an idea of the content
of "Fallen Angels” that one must
call confused. Director Howard
Wentworth has a master copy, of
course, but he always rushes home
the moment rehearsals are over.
Before the show opens the pub
licity corps hopes it will know
more about “Fallen Angels” than
just that Catharine Ryan is starred,
Elizabeth Winburn featured, Sidney
Bassler, Forney Reese and Austin
Gattis also in the cast.
