Here’s' a story for you, MaVk,” writes Milton Herbert.
“M’dre thihi thrft, I’ve'written it to yottr order. If roil <Wn’t
like the way the tale is written, bla'nte it on Maj be,
as A pattern. not sb hot. (Editor’s Note—What do
you mean—maybe>?), , , ln .
“Over in* Brooklyn' lives ah automobile salesman who
a Broatiway crowd every ohec in so ofteiL He
married recently, and is seemingly in love with his wife. He
ifijvety falls to tell however, of the wild, wicked life he
had led before he was snared ip the niiilfidMWW rtfo*>,
Rehearses Old Days
“Not only does he tell h.r
these things, but he talks about
tt to others.. Whenever he ar
rives at a Broadway party. and
the drinks ate handed arotirtd,
he commences his spiel, *"o
hear him tell it. his eye-opeper
in the days gone by wag a gaty
Ion! of utlcut rye. This gti/ is I
a itiiu.
“Put when it comes to .his,
turn to' take a drink, he shakes
his’, head and* nods in the direc
tion of his wife.
“ ‘Sorry, boy,’ he smiles, ‘but
I haVe the little wire to 1 take
Care of now. Can’t afford the
first one —because I’m a man
that will drink two quarts be
fore. trit satisfied*. NoW in the
days gone by ’
“Tpe other night, during* one
of these parties the auto sales
man finally met,. his giggle
Waterloo. An actor whb is
usually so drunk that they
have to float him onto the I
Stage, arose to his feet., ,
“ ‘Btstdn,’ he said, addressing
the salesman, ‘l’ve been hear
ingt about your dripking powers
for a long, long tirjie. Tm going
to call you right hdre and riow.
Well have a li’l drinking con
test, you and I. I’ll take two
to yoyr one and. we l1
see wlio lasts the longest.’
Accepts Challenge
“The challenge was too much
for the salesman’s vanity. Here
wag KIS big chance" to make
good in front of his wife. It
wohld probably be a cinch to
drink this stew under a table.
So ,he laughed heartily.
1 ‘‘‘l’ll take you,” he responded
with.a wide grin, ‘but not on a
two-for-one Drink for
dripk—and |he.man who stands
up ,wjhs the contest. Let’? go.’
“With a confident wink ,at
his adoring wife, he strolled to
the table-and opened a bottle
of rye. Then, taking two large
tutyiblers. he filled them tp
the brim with straight rye.
Rajsing his. he gUlbed once or
twice ahd* drained his glass, it
wa# a remarkable piece of
drihklhg.
£ihishes Liquor
‘.‘The actor was much Wiser.
He. finished. his, too—but. in.
much smaller doses. When he
was through,,, pe, noticed . that
the beads were already stand
ing out on the salesman's fore
head. This time it was he who
filled the glasses to the brim
onpe aggin. , Two such drinks
would be enough to ruin any
num. You know how it is,
Mtyrk?
“Meanwhile, the salesman was ,
mimching celery. There were
other things to eat, but the
samsman did not touch them.
He wahted* nothing* out* celery.-
After gobbling down three or
four pieces, he picked up HIS*
glass, nodded wisely to his wife
—and drank his second tumbler
of straight rye.
“Within 10 minutes th.e„sdld§-„
man was in another room. He
was out cold- When they fi
nally revived him, he became
sick. He moaned and he
groaned and he. .whatnot* .He
was baying, as the saying goes,
the Wages of sin.
Rebukes His Host
‘‘MttStty,- after an hour had
passed, he was sufficiently re
vived to stand on his feet.
V/tyakly. and supported by his
wiffe; he staggered back into
the room in which the jparty
was still in progress.
1 paid no detention ttye
adtof but walked directly over
to hts host. His face was white
—bur in his eyes there was a
black look.
“ ‘As long as I live,’ were
tide' salesman’s words to his

Norma Shearer to
Play O’Neill’s
Heroine
By HARRISON CARROLL
(Copyright 1932, King Features
Syndicate, Inc )
HOLLYWOOD. Calif., Jan. 11.
After many headaches, Metro-
Gold wyn-Mayer has figured out a
way to put over the asides in
“Strange Interlude” —and the Eu
gene O’Neill drama is expected
to be Norma Shearer’s next pic
ture, starting in about three
weeks.
I was able to find out ..today
that the asides wijl be spoken by
the player’s voices, but there will
be no lip movements, as was ndc-,
essary on the stage. As the voice
comes in oh the sound-track, the
players will be going through bits
of business.
This method was hit upon af
ter many others had been re
jected. One plan was to use
titles for the asides; another to
double-expose a second image of
the player and have it speak the
asides. The new method not
only is more effective, but is very
much more economical.
The selection of “Strange Inter
lude” means that Norma Shearer
will not do “Smiling Through”
until* later. ,
In the meanwhile, Jless Mere
dyth. and C. Gardner Sullivdn
are working on the O’Neill drama.
Bob Leonard will be given the
herculean task of directing.
He can’t want sor 1 them to
die.
Homer Croy, .author of “They
Had to See Paris:” has a new
idea. He is collecting material
for a book called: “Epitaphs of
the Living.”
I like this one on; Harry Hersh
field, the cartoonist: “Here lies
; the body of HaYry r Hersbfield. If
not, notify Ginsberg <fc Co., under
takers.” . ,-
good in Baltimore . The .Demo
cratic barrage over the radio Fri
day night may have accounted
for the Hoover newsreel ovation
at the Earle Saturday afternoon.
Sounded as if three Were ap
plauding ... I think the Frank
Capra-Jo Swerling film writing
and directing team is the clever
est in Hollywood today- BUt
their newspaper men are irritat
ing. Thus in “Forbidden” the
death wrttch all flashes tlje news
about the governor’s passing. Bqt
all the scribes also fall down .on
the fact that the governor died
witty his mistress at his bedside.
These boobs are worse than the
rummies of their earlier “Plati
num Blbnde” . . . That charming
little song chartypipi), Ruth Et
ting, rewards frietttlly critics witty

Those who wend their Way to
the Metropolitan this week are
bound to leave with a decidedly
pleasant impression. And yet the
chief claim of the offering, “Com
promise,” lies in the sympathetic
interpretation of its players.
The story, by Edith Fitzgerald,
is nothing to rave about in
originality. It’s just the old do
mestic triangle tale, with an im
perious father and social caste
thrown in for good measure.
Not the slightest bit hampered
by a role that carries her from
a boarding house drudge to the
highest peak of Boston society,
Rose Hobart does an excellent
piece of acting. Her silvery voice
and the soft caress she bestows
on this harsh language of ours
stand her in good stead.
Story of Hardships
Os course it’s hard for a poor
i hand in a shoe factory to get
along, but it’s a harder lot, by
far, for the son of the man who
moves the wheels of the shoe
manufacturing business to start
from the bottom, especially if he
has ambitions for a musical
career, a beautiful society damsel
and a life in Paris.
So the hero of our tale, played
by the amiable Ben Lyon, who has
already lost his Boston. beauty to
a better provider, takes to drink
What! nobody to save him? Dori’t
be ridiculous. Ann, of the
and the mop, is ttyere with ttye
bromo-seltzer, and so, much to the
chagrin of the imperious daddy.
Ann leads the wayward boy to the
altar.
Gillingwater Shines
Among the bluebloods of Bos
ton. Ann is a bit gauche, you
know; her husband sees his old
flame again, but what’s that to
a devoted husband?
Claude Gilljngwater, as the
father whose foibles for the wel
fare of his son and grandson are
ilna/ailing,,is just sc cryptic, and.
that’s, plenty. He certainly knows
hoW t 0 act,
Edgar* Bergen, a versatile ven
triloquist, irt “Free and Easy”;
Totri Howard, in a spooky comedy,
“Ttye Unemployed Ghost,’’, and
Paramount News complete the
program.—JAß.
Lawrence Tibbett Has
His Job Picked OuT
Lawrence Tibbett has his' job
all picked , out if he should
ever lose his' voide z He would be
a btrtler. “I have seen so many
interior butlers in my day ttyat
I’d Uk'e to step inland show theih
hqw to do it.” Mr. Tlbbgttt says.
The singer tyas i*ila,de a styccdss in
films, concert work and grind
opera.
without his voice, he would
still be a successful motion pic
ture pctor, so it is dpubtful that
we shall ever see him behind our
chair's.

Those crocodile tears that have
been shed for the passing of the
gangster vogue in pictures were
all in vain. “The Guilty Genera
tion,” on the screen at Keith’s;
treats the racketeer theme from
a social angle, rather than from
the narrower view of public safety.
It is excellent entertainment.
Rival Rum Kings
A lot of credit is due Leo Cat;
rillo and Bohs Karloff, as the
rival rum kings. But the work
of Emma Dunn, Leslie Fenton
and practically all of the cast,
contributed plenty to the film’s
success.
The estranged son of one
racketeer falls in love .with the
pretty daughter of the other.
There’s not much love lost be
tween the youngsters and . their
elders. The kids, win out, yod
knew- thqy W'jujd. And the qnly.
sotir note is that the girl father
had to be killed by his own
mother to insure the juveniles’
happiness.
Good Stage Show
The stage show is as near as
one wants to get to perfect enter
tainment. Clyde Cook, the india
rubber screen comedian, loses
nothing by personal appearance.
He gains by the presence in . his
act of Ruth Draper. Johnny
Perkins, an oversize comic, had
.fresh material and the ability to
sell it. The Neal sisters, three
comely singjpg blondes, having
warbled prettily on their own
time, came on again to help Mr.
Parkins and his pretty singing
partner. Helen Petty. The Hdrris
Twins (male) sang, danced and
pranced between zippy acro
batic dance numbers of Glory E.
Lee.
Belle Bennett, well-known as a
player of mother .rotes to screen-;
goers,, was excellent in a “mother”
playlet that had plenty of comedy
in it, A quick change showed her
a dazzling blonde—J. I.M.

to Havana she contracts ah af
fair with an agreeable . passenger
which is continued after their re
turn to the States. It develops
that Bob Grover, a successful
lawyer, is married to an invalid
wife and divorce is o.Ut of the
question. Parenthood further
tangles their romance and when
a smart newspaper man discovers
the skeleton in the lawyer’s closet,
he threatens exposure and ruin
for the political career of the
now Senator Grover. Jt is Lulu
who is sacrificed and tumbled
into the ruins of this forbidden
love..
The characterization of Bar
bara Stanwyck is spirited and,
intelligent. Despite her moral
lapses there is appeal and un
derstanding for the unfortunate
Lulu, who finds a degree pf hap
piness in sMcrtQcing for her child
and in the, consuming .depths of
a. love which, makes hey a Social
outcast. It. is & performance
that is strictly top notch.
Adolphe Menjou is splendid in

acting throughout vigorous and
convincing. Ralph Bellamy plays
the other important role ably.
Fine Direction
Certain deft touches supplied
by Director Capra spice this story
with comedy and his big scenes
are skilfully staged for thrills
and suspense. 'Forbidden” is
one of Hollywpod’s better pic
tures fqr which, hail Columbia.
On the stage the knockabout
comedy of Lou Case, Max Mack
and Harry Owen bears the ster
ling label. Ed Ford and his trick
dog have a clever novelty. Henry
Bergman and company, a com
edy skit and a routine dancing
act opens the program. What the
show lacks is a headline punch.
Maxine Doyle emsees with her
usual charm and efficiency.

STOP THAT COLD
Distressing cold in chest or
throat—that so often leads to
somethirig' serious—generally responds
to good old Musterole with the first
application. Should be fore effective if
used-once every hour for five hours.
This famous blend of oil of mustard,
camphor, menthol and other helpful in
gredients brings relief naturally. Mus
terole gets action because it is a scientific
“counter-irritant" — not just a salve
—it penetrates and stimulates blood
circulation, helps to draw out infection
and pain. Used by millions for 20 years.
Recommerided by doctors and nurses.
To is also
made in milder form for babies
and small children. Ask for Chil
dren’s Musterole.
