Ml BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, THURSDAY, JANUARY 11, 1934 'Re-Echo' Joins Broadway Play List Stage and Screen Reverting to Type 6 BERYL WALLACE AT THE BROOKLYN STRAND I Theater News The Theaters Reverting By ARTHUR POLLOCK By ART A Confused But Pretentious Play Culled 'Re-Echo' Is Hospitably Received at the Forrest Theater I There were any number of curtain calls last night at the end of the play entitled "Re-Echo" at the Forrest Theater. Enthusiasts all over the house shouted, "Author! Author!" The whole audience, save those who had left at the end of the second act, remained seated expectantly. And to add to the apparent importance of the occasion, Mrs. Roosevelt was there. She sat in an upper stage box while the audience clapped their hands at her and stood up to do her honor.

A rather gala evening, you might say, in spite of the fact that the play was bad. I cannot say why the curtain calls were so numerous, the shouts of "Author!" so persistent or the audience's reluctance to leave so great. It was the same audience that had laughed at a few of the absurdities of the play in the second act, laughed with that amiable withering laughter I "Georgie, Helen and Fanny" ls the title of the new Dana Rush play to be produced by the Leay Productions Maurice Schwartz will offer three plays this week at the Yiddish Art Theater. "Modern Children," by Sholom Asch, will be offered tomorrow. On Saturday eve.

nlng he will revive "God of Vengeance." Saturday and Sunday matinee and Sunday evening he will present "Yoshe Kalb." Billy Rose has engaged Kay Cameron to appear in the revue at the Casino de Paree. Miss Cameron i a daughter of Hugh Cameron, Broadway actor. Miriam Elyas will offer old and new Hebrew sketches in melody and drama when she appears this Sunday evening, Jan. 14, at the 48th St. Theater.

Miss Elyas will be assisted by Co-rlnne Chochem and the Rikud-Aml Dancers. IN CIVILIZATION'S WAKE Years ago when Flagpole Kelly Perched aloft in sun and rain, I reflected flagpole titters And their sponsors were inane. And when dancing Marathoners Shuffled, dozed and dragged about, My thought was, "Where were they hiding When common sense was ladled out?" But now with Mllo Burcham setting Records upside down And M. Marsalis and H. Richer Circling ten days o'er a town.

Coming to Paramount Starting tomorrow the Brooklyn Paramount will have as its screen feature "Eight Girls in a Boat," a simultaneous release with Broad- way. Chief among the players In this picture are Dorothy Wilson, Douglass Montgomery, Kay Johnson and Walter Connolly. The story concerns the adventures, more or less romantic, that befell the members of the rowing crew of an exclusive girls' school. Miss Wilson, formerly a stenographer in the executive offices of Paramount Pictures, now rises to stellar heights.

Mr. Montgomery plays opposite her, while Mr. Connolly enacts the role of her father. Miss Johnson ls the martinet captain of the rowing team. Joan Blondell in 'Convention City' whirh opens today at the downtown Warner home Music ln 'Murder at the Vanitiei' at the Majestic Theater, Manhattan.

formances that week People under my window singing "We want Cantor" I'm not too blase to have it make my heart beat faster. I return to the Paramount Theater last Friday the same warm, enthusiastic audience Sunday night at 7:20 I rush madly from the stage door with a towel around my neck into the subway for Radio City and my weekly broadcast Getting out at the 49th St- station, I run through the rain, no taxis being available and arrive panting, nervous, at 7:58 it's a close call. At 9:10 I am In the subway once more, going back to Brooklyn to the borough with which so much of my life has been entwined what happy memories I have of Brooklyn. AH. SUNDAY Each morn I gulp my Sanborn down, My eyes upon the clock; My forehead wears an anxious frown I scurry down the block.

Into the "sub" I madly dive, With other sardines sway I reach my desk at nine o' five, It's hard to leave the hay. But Sunday morn I sit and sip, My Sanborn lasts a while; While I peruse the "typo" scrip I'm breakfasting in style. K. E. AMUSEMENTS BROOKLYN that usually fills actors and authors, With terror.

The theater, I suppose, Was peopled with only the kindest I of hearts. I. J. Golden wrote "Re-Echo," I timing high. His ideal Is to tell Co lies, though his play reeks with them.

He wants to draw an imposing character to the life. The central figure is a financier, a national figure, a man who boasts that he could be in the cabinet if he wanted to. Twin to his greatness ts an understandable narrowness. He is a complete egoist. He uses everyone with whom he comes in contact to exalt himself.

He Is cruel, unscruplous, a cockroach. But Mr. Golden has not drawn him to the life. He has not even drawn him successfully to the theater. He has tried to be so complete that his play is full of Incident, and hardly a single act of any of his characters, In spite of all he ays about them, is comprehensible or believable.

Of motives there are many, not one of them adequate. The play is full of holes. Richard Lord's father beat him When he found him wasting his time on poetry and Richard Lord became as a result a big man in this country, bank president and whanot. Richard married a nice girl who loved him, but she could not endure him. cannot tell you why, because when the actress who plays the wife tells her story she talks so low that none but a far-ighted lip-reader could understand her).

She asks a number of times for a divorce. He says no. She resolves to endure him for the sake of their son. And she takes a lover. In the first act Richard demands that she divorce him now.

Now it Is she who refuses. He says he will divorce her, mentioning her lover. While their son is home from college the news of his divorce action shrieks In headlines. The son hates his father. But When the divorce has been achieved and Richard has married his young secretary, the son lives with his father and stepmother and supinely permits the father to force him to work in his bank, though he has a leaning toward poetry.

I think he should have got a Job and gone to live with his mother, whose side he took. But if he had the rest of the play would have been difficult to write as Mr. Golden had determined to write It. This way it only as to Type ARTHUR of Brooklyn for the past 25 years- his Brooklyn memories. Cantor, by showing; Is even more remarkable be Beach and I am on the opening program assisting a Juggling team Bedini and Arthur I bring my girl, Ida, down to the Saturday matinee to see me work When I make my entrance she drops her program and when she picks it up she finds that she missed my whole performance.

But it makes no difference to her a few years later she marries me in Brooklyn, in the Brownsville section It was a big wedding we had 12 relatives and 12 herrings one for each. "IT'S A GIRL" I meet Nathan S. Jonas, president of the Manufacturers' Trust Company one of the best beloved Brooklynltes a kindly soul, one of the most unselfish human beings It has been my good fortune to meet He teaches me the art of giving. I become a director of the Brooklyn Jewish Hospital I rush from the Ziegfeld Follies of 1927 to this same hospital one night and pace up and down the corridor watting for the announcement, "It's another girl, Mr. Cantor" I almost faint, and the doctors must rush from Ida's bedside to take care of me.

Bantrolt. Francs Dee Is difficult to believe, which the author prefers. Well, the point of the whole thine Is that the father brutally tries to keep his son's nose to tne grindstone at the bank and ends bv being, presumably, a sadder and slightly wiser man. For his young wife learns to understand what his first wife endured. She learns to love the son in fine, friendly, motherly fashion.

And she, after a conference with the first wife, encourages the son to quit his Job and sell his poetry. Wife and son both then leave the granite egoist. And as the final curtain comes down that poor giant is reading his son's very beautiful poem (written especially for "Re-Echo" by Miss Perle Bor-isky) entitled, "If Loneliness Be Mine." As he reads he looks sad, as much as say. "Isn't this poem Just me all over!" Remember, he used to be a poet himself once. Hereafter he will be a broken man, even if the government does not prove, as it seems about to prove, that when he ruined the bank of his first wile's lover he violated the law.

Tills Is all pretentious, untidily written ana rickety. The playing Is good enough. Harry Davenport is the old grandfather come to New York to explain the character of the men of the Lord family. He slaps the pompous Richard's face at one point, presumably because, as a result of his having licked him years before. Richard has become the kind of man he wanted him to be.

Mr. Davenport plays effectively. Florence Walcott is the first wife, a well-poised and articulate actress but too often inaudible. Phyllis Povah plays the too girlish second wife and Thurston Hall the windy husband. George Walcott does well the badly characterized son.

Carol Sax, who produced the play, has staged as virtuously as the author has a right to expect. The Dance An entirely new program was pre- sented last night by the Monte Carlo Ballet Russe at the St. James Theater, and a large and decorative audience foregathered there to do homage. The popularity of the Russian Ballet undoubtedly has grown since its debut here and the reception It received last night should certainly mark It as a successful venture. All this with good cause, for the performance, in spite of flaws here and there and poor casting, was rich In beauty, gayety, color and stirring vitality.

"Les Sylphides," which Is called a "romantic reverie," to the music of Chopin, is a series of unconnected dances by several of the principals, supplemented by a background of ballerinas. The setting, costumes and choreography were in the traditional ballet manner, but there were moments of sheer loveliness, especially In the dancing of Irina Baranova and Tatiana Ria-bouchinska. The former, in a valse movement, was like shimmering moonlight in a deep pool; the latter brings a sharpness of outline to what she does perhaps because of a more definiteness of personality, but with It there Is an elusive emotional quality which is entrancing.

Eva. 1:10, Matlneee Weal, and Set, 1:10 Hollywood By RIAN jAMES We had dinner the other night at the home of a very charming star, and later spent a couple of hours watching him perspire over his very young son's homework. He did all right' on English and history and bounding Alaska, but the mathematics stumped him. We got quite a kick out of that, until he called US in. We weren't so chipper from then on, but It got us to thinking.

Back in school, or rather what school this untutored department had, mathematics was the straw that broke this camel's back. We couldn't figure out why you had to drag In to figure out the relation of and and bisecting a triangle lacked both color and romance. As a matter of fact, we were tossed out of school the third time for asking what difference It all made. Well, what we want to know now is what difference DID it all make. Young prodigies who can toss off algebraic equations like that will find when they get out into the world that there are adding, subtracting and dividing machines to do all the work for them, and while we still aren't able to add a column more than three figures wide, we know a couple of bank tellers who are tickled pink to do It for us.

Silly, that's what it Is. Anyway, to be sociable, ire put our shoulder to the wheel and went to work on one of these "uhat-does-X-equal" problems, wliat with wanting to be agreeable and appreciative and all that. Besides, our host is very, very fond of his young son. But it was no dice. Our liost gave it up after an hour.

We gave it up after an hour and a half. The youngster didn't give it up though. He showed US how to work it about 20 minutes later! Is this a life! THE FIELDS They haven't offered a reward for the return of W. C. Fields, the comic, yet, but they probably will any day now.

Bill Fields is a golf nut the kind of a greens fiend who gets up at four in the morning in order to be on the green by daybreak in order to get more golf in than he could otherwise. Plays by and against himself, too, what's more. Uses two balls, places bets with himself, argues with himself, and has a great time. Well, he went to Palm Springs for the weekend, golf bags and all, and that's the last anybody's seen of him. Or nearly anybody.

A little Mexican attendant down there reports that he did see W. C. Fields slice a couple of drives. He also said he heard Fields, immediately after, say a few unkind things about golf in Seneral and HIS golf in particular, drive if it took all Winter. By now he's probably midway through New Mexico.

If he's not, and should you find him, please return him to the Paramount folks. No reward but, then, no questions asked either. ADDENDA We wrote a squib the other day about a redheaded flicker star who flew all the way out here just to surprise her huBby for Christmas, and was as surprised as anything herself when hubby didn't come home until some time the next morning. Well, hubby had been living with a boy friend, and the arrangement still liolili, with nil flame-topped wife occupying a campment of the Polovtslens. The dances by the warirors are wild and furious, contrasting sharply with the mild and rather nonchalant dancing by the women.

The scenery for this was designed by Nicholas Roerich; nuisic by Borodine. All lthree of the ballets were choreographed after Michael Fokine. The oriRinal scenery and costumes by Benois were used in the "Petrouchka" ballet. Efrem Kurtz conducted. 8.

Caroline Thomas Plays at the Town Hall Caroline Thomas, a violinist who has been heard here in past seasons, gave her first recital of the year last night in the Town Hall. Her performance of a program composed largely of familiar works was that of an experienced artist, though curiously uneven in its tech nical and Interpretative aspects. The Vltali Chaconne, first on the program, received a competent performance, though it lacked its essential breadth and sonority. The Conns Concerto, the other major work on the list, had Its moments of brilliancy and verve, which, unfortunately, were not sustained In a manner to reveal the' full effectiveness of this show piece so favored by virtuosos. In the shorter pieces that followed Miss Thomas was heard to much better advantage.

She played the Ernest Bloch "Baal Shem" with genuine feeling, a big and warm tone and a fine lyric line. Auer's arrangement of Schumann's "Vogel als Prophet" was delicately played, with fine-spun harmonics and general beauty of tone. In the Szyma-nowski "La Fontaine d'Arethuse" Miss Thomas accomplished some of the best playing of the evening, notably in the final measures, in which she was ably assisted by Edwin Mc-Arthur at the piano. Kartmann's arrangement of Rimsky-Korsakoff's separate apartment in the same hotel and while only a very, very few localities know about it, even those few are offering large odd.s that it won't be long now before the star is single and her bibbing hubby It looking fur a job or another wife!

At the Brooklyn 8trand. The events surrounding the national convention of a large manufacturing company furnish the material for the Warner Brothers comedy, "Convention City," which had its Brooklyn preview at the local Strand Theater last night. In other words, the new picture at the Strand Is mainly concerned with telling what happens when the salesmen and sectional executives Of the Honeywell Rubber Company assemble for their annual powwow at Atlantic City. What happens is, needless to say, not always in accordance with the businesslike rules governing an industrial convention, but this is not surprising, since "Convention City" was designed almost entirely for comedic purposes. Here the American business man Is encountered in a frantic pursuit of happiness at the "world's playground," although In the case of Guy Kibbee the trip proves less than a lark, since he has the bad luck to be accompanied by a fussy.

Jealous wife. Adolphe Menjou, on the other hand, comes on to the convention alone and for a while he is unhampered in his attentions to the daughter of the president of the concern, Mr. Menjou aspiring to the lucrative position of general sales manager. Hugh Herbert and Frank McHugh, however, spend most of their time at the convention Imbibing from the cup that cheers, and while their tipsy antics and some of their gags are not exactly models of immaculate taste, these two take a prominent part In making Convention City" an amusing entertainment. Joan Blondell appears In her familiar role of a persuasive blonde charmer in this production, a part which, incidentally, she plays with the expertness of experience.

Pa tricia Ellis is the rich Claire Honeywell, whose good graces are sought by at least a dozen delegates to the convention, and Ruth Donnelly ls efficient as usual in the role of Guy Kibbee's shrewish wife. Others In the large cast are Grant Mitchell, Hobart Cavanaugh. Sheila Terry and Douglas Dumbrille. In addition to the feature, the Brooklyn Strand's new program includes the customary Vitaphone short subject, cartoon and news reel.

TUP a dancer to be altogether happy in this "romantic reverie. "Petrouchka" (Stravinsky) brought a complete change of mood. This Is a lusty, colorful and swiftly-moving panorama. The scene is a circus fair and the story concerns itself with three puppets who have been endowed with human passions. Petrouchka, more sensitive than the Ballerina and the Blackamoor, Ls doomed to die for love of a doll.

However, outside the scene of tragedy the fete is at Its height and the revellers are In a frenzy of gayety. Details of the Russian scene were well observed and the Russian folk dances were spirited and abandoned. Shabelevsky as one of the Drooms flung himself about with an amazlng abandon and agil ity. The choreography designed for Leon Woizikowsky as Petrouchka was staccato and abrupt In effect and at the same time dynamic. David Lichine as the Blackamoor gave his performance Its proper mood and was very effective.

Tamara Tou-manova, as the Ballerina, has yet to impress this reviewer. The "Prince Igor" dances made up in vigor and fury what they lacked in originality of design. They also bore too great a resmeblance to the ballet divertissements in opera, the scene is laid In an en I arrarut. Flatbush Tracy, "THE MAO and "THE CHIEF" Sheeoshead. SheeD.
