K2 BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, THURSDAY, JUNE 23. 1932 i The Current State of the Stage and the Screen 'Reverting to Type9 24 AS METTERNICH MARIAS NIXON Theater News 1 The Theaters Reverting to Type By RIAN Br ARTHUR POLLOCK A COLCMMST SITS DOWN AND THINKS IT OVER Although Greta Garbo will shortly blossom forth as the first fifteen-thousand-dollar-i-week lady of the screen, we find that your V. O. Eagle's Mister Arthur Pollock considers her as yet amateurish, but possessed of possibilities, and can hardly agree with him, and advertisements in which two lovely ladies expound the benefits of a kitchen soap get in our hair. We believe it is easier to write a novel In a boiler factory than in the average well-ordered home, and that one of the things Once American Actreate Went to Pari in Search of Fame, They do There and Forgel It Whether or not good Americans go to Paris when they die, as the saying used to have it, it is a fact that actresses occasionally go to Paris and allow themselves to be forgotten.

Remember Lucille Watson? Five or six years ago her brittle comedy was making her a priceless actress in the better type of plays along Broadway. She had been doing amusing things for years and was at least enjoying the prominence she deserved. And just at the moment when she seemed about to become a star she dropped out of sight. She's in Paris now and not acting. It is not easy to guess why.

Perhaps she likes living better than acquiring fame by the difficult route that leads one back and forth before the footlights. Remember Marie Doro, soft and i home. Isadora Duncan made it one of her stopping places. Mary Garden began to be famous there. And before Isadora Duncan was Loie Fuller, another dancer, who startled the frequenters of the Folies-Bergere, the Moulin Rouge and the Casino de Paris with her tender, dark-eyed and lovely? She was never a great actress, but she won the public's affection.

Miss Doro hasn't appeared in anything in or about New York since William Hurlburt wrote "Lilies of the Field," and that was more than a few years ago. She is somewhere in the neighborhood of Paris now, liv-inR quietly, ignoring Broadway. Her siRht got to be pretty bad. they say, and acting was no fun. No doubt she found other things that were much more amusing.

Actresses do not remain actresses forever. Actors sometimes do. Outgrowing one's youth matters less to the men of the stage than to tne T3men. Few actresses who have been famous as girls like to give up the youthful parts to fill the roles of old ladies. And Paris is a lovely place to grow old in, though most Americans use Jt for being young again.

Do you remember Pearl White? Of course you don't. She was a tock actress in Norwalk. nd popular there, too. Then she took to the movies, thrilling the early film audiences by her brash appearances in serial films, such as "The Perils of Pauline." Arriold Daly used to play with her in them. She's in Paris now, too.

In Paris when she isn't down on the Riviera or in Egypt. And she's been over there these many years. She has a little house in the mountains somewhere and apparently lots of money, and rumor has it that she now weighs something over 200 pounds. She was never light as air. Betty Compton of "oO Million "Frenchmen" can be found in Paris, too.

She was no great actress, but she had a way with her. And Corinne Griffith doesn't seem to want to come back, either. Well, Americans have gone to Paris before to live happily ever after or to make reputations later i to be put to good purpose back Mr. Cugnrr'i leading woman in 'Winner Take al the jYew York Strand. Screenings Paramount Theater Hold Radio Auditions; Adrichne, Allen in 'Black Coffee' that is hurting Greenwich Village Ua too many artists, and too little art We have never met anyone who talks quite like Tallulah Bankhead talks in pictures, and actually believe that it is easier to raise nine children than two dogs.

We're willing to go into a debate on the subject, too. We believe that column-ing would be an easier job if fewer people -talked for publication and more people let their hair down, and femmes who start their conversations by telling us newspapermen have such fascinating Jobs are people we could easily live without. Although we have seen his act five times, we still think that Paul Whiteman has the best band In America, and we know that covers a lot of territory. Child marvels, who not only can recite but do, drive us from parties, but If we had It to do all over again, we'd like more than anything else to be Dickie Moore's father. We admire the couiage of bootleggers who toss business cards with their names and addresses on 'em under our door, and frankly break out in a rash of envy every time we see somebody wearing a monocle.

We don't believe there Is anything wrong in the world that money can't straighten out, and would rather be classed as a member of the courageous bonus army than with the comfortable contingent that Is holding out on it. A lamb, ss far as we are concerned, has done its job when it has sheared the lawn and supplied its quota of wool and shouldn't be required to play the title role in a stew. a We believe that the average critic finds exactly as many flaws in a production as he looks for, which is plenty, and that more young people would be inclined to do things if fewer older people were so inclined to criticize what they do, and consider Spring cleaning a device to make an otherwise happy individual regret the fact that he doesn't live in a hotel. We were hardly thrilled a-tall, a-tall to learn that Will Morrtsey had opened up the Pom Pom, out Long Isand way, and are sure that even without the Pom Pom there are plenty of places to have to stay awake in, as it is. We would like to look in a bathing suit like any male in any of the cigarette advertisements but have never met any man who does, and although we belong to four clubs we have never re-visited any of them more than twice.

We would rather read your V. O. Eagle's Henry Suydam on politics than anybody else on almost any other subject, you can think of, and we honestly don't believe there's any music anywhere to compare with the free Goldman concerts. It is our life's ambition to walk across a living room without skidding on a Summer rug, and we hope someday to hold a cup of tea on our lap and look as though we enjoyed it. Although, through having mon keyed with plenty of airplane motors, we can take an automobile apart and put it together again without having any parts left over, that is more luck than we've ever had with a varuum cleaner and we dont believe those Scolch yarns in Simon Schuster's new "More Scotch'1 are terribly funny.

The most thrilling exploitation stunt AMUSEMENTS BROOKLYN If You Think Hollywood Is a City, You're Wrong T-llinf on Hollywood 'Hit the Deck' to Be. Ret ired Stgae Gossip Vincent Youmans announces that be will begin his 1932-33 producing activities with a revival of his successful musical play, "Hit ths Deck," the latter part of July or early in August. Youmans will endeavor to secure) as many of the original cast of "Hit the Deck" as possible. Scentcally the revival will be an exact reproduction of the original which ran for 40 weeks at the Belasco Theater. The only change planned by him will be the bringing up to date of the costumes and the reduction of the scale of prices, which will be from SO cents to $2.50.

Shortly after he launches "Hit the Deck," Youmans will begin rehearsals of Jack McGowan musical, "Siss, Boom, Bah," which plans to bring to New York around Labor Day. His third offering will be an intimate revue which will include startling novelties as welL Youmans will write the music for both of these offerings. In the meantime the industriou Mr. Youmans is writing the music for P. J.

Gilbert Miller Busy Gilbert Miller will present Gladys Cooper in "Firebird," at the Playhouse in London, on Aug. 25. "Firebird," which Jeffery Dell adapted from the Hungarian of Lajos Zilahy, will be presented here in the Fait by Mr. Miller.

'Frolic' Lengthens So many stage, screen and radio headliners are augmenting the big cast of celebrities appearing In the second edition of the Friars Frolic, the show at the Roxy, is much longer than when originally staged. Brand New Actors Boston has opened its "Opportunity Revue," a complete show in which all of the players were recruited from non-professional ranks, and this weekend, June 23, is to see similar productions in four New York RKO houses including Albee and Madison in Brooklyn. The R. K. O.

plan to uncover and develop future headliners has met with widespread success. Within a few weeks 36 more cities will present these productions, from which the R. K. Q. is certain it will obtain enough genuine features for a National Oportunlty Revue to be played across the continent.

9 o'clock Fun Rita Burgess Gould, famous for her impersonations, has joined the cast of o'Clock Revue" at the Barbizon-Plaza, which is adding to the Summer gayety of visitors, and others. The Lockharts, Gene, and Kath-lene, also are on the bill Gene to replace Sigmund Spaeth as master of ceremonies. Vandy Cape returns with her character songs. The entire show has been revised and rearranged since the opening. The company now includes Harold West and Herbert Kingsley, Felicia Sorel, Gluck Sandor, the Dance Center Group, and others.

a a Despite the fact that "Nine" Is our lucky number, almost everything important in our life has happened on the 13th, which is the kind of stuff for statisticians to beetle their brows over, and our idea of feminine beauty is a gal whose eyelashes stick way out to here. There is something fascinating about the word "intaglio." and the mewing of a cat-bird. We have never met a chorus girl who didn't like to cook, or a housewife who did. We loathe routine, and heartily deplore the prospect of having to be anywhere, at any given time.

She was born on a farm in the neighborhood of Chicago and went on the stage to play soubrettes. She danced a little, seemed to have a gift for it and went to dancing school, eventually getting into the ballet. Sisley Huddleston gives'her credit for much that is modern in the way of spectacles. She can be called "the creator of the modern music hall with its fairylike spectacles," he says. She used to dance in elaborate draperies with many-colored lights upon them.

She got the idea by accident. "One day," says Huddleston, "she was presented by a British officer with a native East Indian dress of long flowing silk, and that evening she sliped on the stage and tore her usual costume. She suggested that she should put on the gorgeous Eastern robe. The manager agreed, and as she was rehearsing her effects the light shone through the silk and the colors blended magically. Another thought struck her.

Why should not the audience see the wonderful changing color schemes that could be produced by light?" They should and they did. She became famous, chiefly as a result of electricity. When she was last seen In America she seemed rather fancy and out-of-date. But why shouldn't she be? She began being famous long ago, when the younger Dumas was still alive and busy writing plays. She and Mary Garden and Isadora Duncan went to Paris in search of fame.

In these days actresses go there, it seems, to run away from It.

"ri.iV" By ROBERT GRANDON Sitting in the Brown Derby the other noon, the talk casually turned to Hollywood and when It had ended, some of us were quite surprised at the odd facts which we had assembled. First of all, there is no city by the name of Hollywood. It's a suburb of Los Angeles It has no railroad station.

You start at Los Angeles and taxi eight miles to your destination You're lucky if you don't have to walk bark Or you can walk to Glendale, if you wish It's all the same to Hollywood. Hollywood was titled by a man named Horace Wilcox in 1883. Opening the tract, he looked about for a suitable handle His wife had spent a summer in Hollywoon, and cottoned to the name So Horace used it and Mack Sennett helped to make it There is no city hall, or police Tourt, or policemen That is. Hollywood policemen. They're Los Angeles cops.

If you get into dif-diculty, or want to get into difficulty through marriage, the nearest place to get in or out of hot 'water is the big city. The fire department is a Los An- geles substation The post of-j 'flee is a Los Angeles substation; But it vs a busy place just the i What with 150.000 peo- -pie. it should be.

It's an odd little place, this Hol-" lywood. If you stop to consider Jiow it influences the amusement field and, indirectly, the styles of the world, you must needs wonder For after all, actual playing Jeads are in the hands of about 150 jxrople and what power they exert!
