BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK," TUESDAY, APRIE IS, 1933 Revival of 'The Mikado' and Local Premiere of Cohan Play Share Spotlight' 'TODAY WE LIVF PAQ1ME LORD Theater News The Theaters Reverting to Type By ARTHUR POLLOCK By ART Mr. Aborn Brings Gilbert and Sullivan Back Again, Presenting 'The Mikado'' at the St. James Theater ililton Aborn, who can at any moment bring a bit of Gilbert and Sullivan out of temporary hiding and find a public eager for It, has gathered his old company together and set up "The Mikado" at the St. James Theater. It began to sing there last night and the lovers of the old operetta can be happy again.

All his veterans are with Mr. Aborn once more, seasoned singers now, for they have been doing "The Mikado" and the other Gilbert and Sullivan delights for many, many years. They vary little and apparently never grow stale. "The Mikado" would by this time seem strange without them. There is William Danforth, for instance, singing the role of the Mikado with his old relish and precision, a veteran grown mellow In the A SEAMSTRESS ANSWERS GATES HEBBARD I work all day and half the night On dresses not for me.

But all my dreams are lovely plans And I work happily! The gown I weave is not a gown. The stitches are not thread. The hem I turn is not of silk-But rent and heat and bread!

MARIE TREACY LEE. rOOR PUSSY a-- role. Frank Moulan, still slender, as a boy and almost as lively, is once more Ko-Ko, Lord High Executioner, his voice clear, his manner that of a player having the time of his life.

Herbert Waterous Is the unctuous Poob-Bah, looking and acting as it born full grown to the role. They seem to belong now to Gilbert and Sullivan, for they never appear except when something of the two is being sung and, though we see them only then, show no signs of having deteriorated in the Intervals. Don't these fellows ever get a day older? Mr. Aborn has Roy Cropper to play Nanki-Poo, and the result is pleasant enough, and Hizi Koyke is still a charming Yum-Yum, singing lightly, quaintly, while the conscientious Vera Ross, the lively Ethel Clarke and Mabel Thompson and Allen Waterous do all they should as the other members of the cast. The scenery seems a little brighter than it used to If it is the same old collection of settings, they are more cheerfully lighted.

Cohan Is the Star This Week at the Majestic Frenzied finance, racketeering and the exploits of a dime-novel newspaper reporter are combined in the screen melodrama called "The World Gone Mad," which may be seen this week at the new Roxy Theater. These are popular dramatic ingredients, and, with better writing and more effective direction, they might have formed the framework for an Interesting, topical motion picture. But "The World Gone Mad" has been neither brightly written nor smartly produced, with the result that the current screening at the Radio City Roxy is considerably less than a masterpiece. Briefly, the story is about a crooked financier, who, it appears, is not The Mikado' A revival of the operetta by W. 8.

Gilbert nt Arthur Sullivan. Presented at the St. James Theater by Milton Aborn. Staled by Mr. Aborn.

THE CAST The, Mikado o( Japan, William Danforth Hankl-Poo Roy Cropper Ko-Ko Prank Moulan Pooh-Bah Herbert Waterous Plsh-Tush Allen Waterom Yum-Yum Hizl Koyke Pittl-Sinu -Ethel Clark Peep-Bo Majfel Thompson Katisha Vera Rou Those old songs of Sullivan's, limpid and simple and witty, awaken the same old pleasant memories, the same old desire to get out the Gilbert and Sullivan records and let them spin for hours on the phonograph. And Gilbert's adroit lines, his satirical story are a perennial delight. I don't know what New York will do if Mr. Aborn ever gets tired of reviving Gilbert and Sullivan. Nobody else seems to think of it.

No one else need think of it, of course, since he does. Bringing Gilbert and Sullivan back every season is as important as producing a Pulitzer prize-winning play. Cohan makes Parker air a few serious remarks regarding life. But the general reaction is that Parker is a little bit cracked, although it is quite possible that Cohan is Just pulling his old trick of writing a buriesque of a serious theme. No matter what Playwright Cohan has in mind, "Pigeons and People" is entertaining.

Also Actor Cohan fits wonderfully into the role of Parker, a part that keeps the actor-star upon the stage for practically the whole evening. Incidentally, "Pigeons and People" is a novelty as there is no intermission, the play running without any Interruption for almost two hours. And as it never bores, one must credit Play wright Cohan with doing a fine bit of work. The "mysterious stranger" whom he decided to bring into the perfectly respectable home of Joseph Heath is a somewhat down-at-heel typical George M. Cohan Broadway character.

He had been sitting in a park, feeding pigeons, when he is picked up by Heath and brought to the latter apartment. Then the fun begins. For a while the whole thing seems a madhouse, with Parker coming to the top in every battle of wits. In the end Parker passes out of the picture and Playwright Cohan gives no clue as to the stranger's real character. In this respect the play runs true to form, although there Is no attempt to make any one think that Parker is anything but an earthly char acter.

The company at the Majestic plays up to the star in a very capable manner. It includes Walter Gilbert, Paul McGrath, Edward Nannery. Olive Reeves-Smith, Elea nor Audley, Alncy Alba, Reynolds Dennlston and Lucille Sears. These and the others all help Mr. Cohan make a night at the Majestic Theater this week a most enjoyable one.

At any rate, one of them had a pet cat. Imagine his horror wnen he discovered its mangled remains lying in the gutter in front of his home. It had evidently been hit by a truck. He sent a. servant out to gather up the remains and prepared a little coffin.

Then he phoned his friends to come over to the wake. Well, it was a grand party. They decorated the coffin with tinsel and ten cent Jewelry, they opened up a lew bottles, neld special services, opened up a few more bottles, took turns at giving eulogies poor pussy, opened up a few more bottles, shed many tears, opened up a few more bottles, opened up a few more bottles, opened up a few more bottles and opened up a few more bottles.

Last Summer he played over a 'Long Island course and struck up a great friendship with a Scotch Instructor there.

The instructor, however, admired him for his personality and not for his golf. For, in the instructor's opinion, Mr. Ruth as a golfer was purty putrid. He tried to Improve Ruth's game all Summer but Ruth didn't seem to be a particularly bright pupil. Ruth began to feel pretty sheepish about it and he wanted to Impress his friend with the fact that although he wasn't a champion golfer, he certainly was a champion baseball player.

His chance came with the opening of the World Series. Ruth got two choice tickets and persuaded his friend to come down.

Cohan.

Presented by George Cohan at the Majestic Theater. Staged by Bam Forrest. THE CAST Joseph Heath Walter Gilbert Parker George M. Cohsn Toktm Arvld Paulson Miss Giles Olive Reeyes-Bmlth rranklyn Chase Paul McOrath rilnore Payne Eleanor Audley Winnie Lloyd Alney Alba Gllroy Edward Nannery McOuire Howard Hull Gibson Dr Frlaby Reynolds Dennlston Miss Graham Lucille Sears Mrs. Janet Ratnbun There comes a time in the life every plbywrlght when he has the urge to try his hand at "The Servant in the House" motif.

Generally that time arrives when the playwright is a success and is entering the final stages of his working life. Then he decides that he has a message to give to the world and he generally decides to give that message through the mouth of some unusual character who enters a strange home, stays there for a while and then again passes out into the night. This was the model used in the writing of "The Passing of the Third Floor Back," "The Messenger From Mars" and similar plays, as well as the equally famous "The Servant in the House." And this is the model of the latest play that George M. Cohan has written. It is called "Pigeons and People," and last night it was seen at the Majestic Theater, with the author-star in the principal role, a part that he has been playing aU Winter in Manhattan.

Incidentally, "Pigeons and People" the best play Mr. Cohan has ever written. It shows himin a decidedly new light, although it possibly tags him as rapidly approaahlng the stage when he is to be called "the dean of American playwrights." But being George M. Cohan, he burlesques his principal character. As a result "Pigeons and People" supplies one continual round of laughter.

Seldom if ever Is Parker, the mysterious stranger who is brought into the home of Joseph Heath, serious. Once in a while Walker Weds Miss Compton Continues from Page 1 belong to her. She said she hoped, too, that they would have children. The couple Jumped into an automobile, taking an undisclosed honeymoon trail. The Mayor of Cannes, according to custom, asked the principals if they had made a marriage contract, to which they replied "No." From the City Hall the Walker party went to the former New York Mayor's hotel for a wedding luncheon.

Her Third Marriage The marriage of Miss Compton, one-time Broadway star, and the former Mayor of New York is her third venture into matrimony and his second. They had been friends for five years. As early as 1928 they were seen together at night clubs, but reports linking their names did not become a matter of public record until the Seabury investigation, which culminated in Walker's resignation as Mayor. Miss Compton's first marriage was to C. S.

Riches of Toronto, a union that ended in divorce In 1926. in February, 1931, siie married Edward Duryea Dowllng, a dialogue director for the movies. After a honeymoon trip to Havana, from which they returned separately, a Mexican divorce ended that marriage. Recently Walker was divorced in Miami, by Mrs. Janet Allen Walker, to whom he had been married for yein.

Walker is 51 yean old. Miss 1 la bar 20. above hiring a gang of thugs to put a too inquisitive district attorney on the spot. The illegal operations of this unscrupulous banker, which result in no less than three suicides, continue in spite of the determined opposition of the new public prosecutor, who is threatened with a fate similar to that of his predecessor. But, thanks to the curiosity of an alert reporter and the young District Attorney's own resourcefulness, the nefarious activities of the financier and his band -of hoodlums are brought to an end.

There is, apparently, nothing new In this story's formulated little pattern, still, as we have said, good, popular entertainment might have been fashioned from the material which inspired the filming of "The World Gone Mad." That the result isn't altogether successful is, we repeat, due to a carelessly written narrative and indifferent dialogue and and Christy Cabanne's faulty direction. Romance is Injected Into the plot by the young District Attorney's love for the daughter of an honest banker who becomes one of the victims of the swindler's schemes. Neil Hamilton Impersonates the D. and Mary Brian plays the part of the comely heroine. Pat O'Brien, who has distinguished himself in similiar screen roles, is responsible for the picture's best acting in the role of Andy Terrell, the energetic newspaper reporter.

Richard Tucker, as the crooked financier; Louis Cal-hcrn, as a gangster chief; Evelyn Brent in another of her "gun moll" characters, and John St. Polls, as absorbing moisture. It added weight. It became overweight. The postofflce clerks tried a few on the scales and found they called for another stamp.

They put "3-cents postage due" stamps on them. Considering the fact that the dinner is for the head of the Postofflce Department, the committee was chagrined. It felt that it had mailed a dry invitation and had a right to expect the Postofflce Department to deliver a dry invitation. One of those to whom invitations were mailed is President Roosevelt. The President, however, will not have to pay three cents postage due because the committee did not include a subscription card, and therefor his letter was within the weight For most of the others, however, the dinner will cost six dollars and three cents.

Peggy Wood and Ernest Truex played the two starring roles, while Ian Keith and George Coulourls were featured.
