CITY’S MOST VIVID GIFT TO STAGE TO PLAY AT NATIONAL -<

Tallulah Bankhead Comes In Drama by George Kelly Colorful Actress Will Appear for First

Time on Local Boards in “Reflected Glory,” Which Opens Tomorrow.

By Jay Carmody.

WASHINGTON has made several notable contributions to the stage

and the most colorful personality among them is that of Tallulah Bankhead. Not even the most eloquent admirers of Helen Hayes and Ina Clair will be disposed to challenge Miss Bankhead's pre-

eminence in this respect. So. when Miss Bankhead comes back to town, It is not merely news, but

something of an exciting adventure..

She invests the atmosphere with an

electric quality which exists above and

beyond the circumstance that she Is to play here for the first time. "Re- flected Glory" Is the play. George Kelly wrote it and it will be presented at the National. A lot of people who probably do not care a rap for Mr. Kelly or his art are going to drop around to the theater this week to see what has happened to Miss Bankhead since she left Washington to become a sort of glamorous legend in a pretty prosaic world.

It has taken a great deal of ink to

keep the American people informed of Miss Bankhead since she first decided to storm the stage and succeeded in taking it almost overnight. The per- sonal element has dominated the serial story of her progress more definitely than has the professional. Because she does everything in the Tallulah Bankhead manner, the commonplace becomes comparatively sensational tvhen she does it. If it actually isn’t sensational, It has become so definitely the custom to expect it that observers refuse to believe their eyes.

Expectancy Often Discolored. If Miss Bankhead really could be

regarded as the “victim” of anything, her scads of friends say, it has been a

too high order of expectancy super- seded by slightly discolored publicity. Sometimes, too, the discoloration has been more the slight; not always in- tentionally, but because it is the tra- dition to accent every new chapter in the Bankhead legend. That so often is the fate of individuals who are so

extraordinarily gifted that they are rot allowed to do any of the ordinary things in this world.

It is rather an unusual thing about the temperamental daughter of the Speaker of the House that she has a larger artistic reputation in England than in this country. She might hot have carved such a popular niche lor herself in London had it not been for the obtuseness of Sir Gerald du Maurier.

When he was casting ‘The Dancers," Tallulah asked for a place In it. Sir Gerald said no. Miss Bank- head said yes. She went to London end said it so emphatically to Sir Gerald's face that he, too, said yes. In quick succession she played "Black- mail,” "They Knew What They Wanted,” "The .een Hat” and several other important dramas; played them

;«-

with such impressive talent that the makers of S. R. O. signs enjoyed one

of their greatest eras of prosperity. Then, at the height of her success,

home began to be sick for Tallulah, or she became homesick (a diplomatic word for “bored”) and that was that. There was a final round of parties with cocktails and hearts breaking softly all over London and Tallulah came home to be beguiled by the talkies a la Paramount, make a num-

ber of pictures in which she always was a gay lady and eventually gave that up to go back to the legitimate stage.

Longest Run in Coming Play. Miss Bankhead has not always been

the luckiest actress in the world. She has had some good plays, including "Forsaking All Others" and similar cogent dramas in the same category, but they were usually more glittering than enduring. More often than not, the playwright forgot to put into his work the ingredient that makes a play last forever. “Reflected Glory” this season gave her her longest Broadway run.

Every one connected wan tne cur-

rent production will take an oath (sol- emn or otherwise) that George Kelley did not write the play with Miss Bank- head and her career in mind. Every one not connected with it, however, insists the close resemblance between the play and its leading player could not possibly be the product of an ac- | cident. Those Kelleys, though, are an

awfully imaginative lot, George espe- cially. Whether he deliberately or ac-

cidentally produced a shoe for Miss Bankhead, it lit and she is wearing it.

'T'HEODORE TILLER, 2d, is a win- ning young man and Maud How-

ell Smith is a gracious lady, as well as a talented one. Because they are, Mrs. Smith will play the lead In Til- ler's new play, “Satan's in the Pantry.” It is set for a week's run at the King- Smith Playhouse, starting Sunday, February 14. Mrs. Smith agreed to play the part when Katheryn Raht was called back to New York to begin rehearsals for “Susan and God."

Tiller, local playwright who has Broadway producers talking (and not saying “No.” which is very important), has high hopes for "Satan's in the Pantry.” They are the higher for his having found Mrs. Smith to take Miss Raht's place In the cast.

Holmes’ Final Talk. TJURTON HOLMES will present the

final talk of his series of five this season Wednesday night at Roose- velt High School auditorium. His

eukject will be “New and Old Japan.” Holmes probably knows this country

better than any other, for he has made 10 trips there since his first, in 1892. His first travel talk, presented in Chi- cago. was on the subject "Japan.”

Mr. Katsuo Okazaki, second secre-

tary of the Japanese Embassy, will in- troduce Holmes.

Aunt Hattie’s Here. "The talk of burlesque” comes to

the Gayety with the show begining Its week's tenure today. The current topic of conversation on the Inde- pendent Circuit, according to Col. Lake, is Aunt Hattie—at least, the most unusual and mystifying nom de theater yet to make its appearance in a dispatch from the Ninth street house. The good aunt is listed as an

"extra added,” with Billy (cheese and crackers) Hagen In the headline posi- tion and Louise Stewart prominently cast. --•-

Josephine With Muni. (JOSEPHINE HUTCHINSON, who

appeared with Paul Muni in the remarkable "The Story of Louis Pas- teur." will again be his leading lady In "The Story of Emile Zola,” which goes into production early this month at the Warner Bros.’ Studios in Bur- bank, Calif. Her role will be that ©f Emile Zola’s wife. The picture is to be directed by William Dieterle.

Hit Plays on Local Legitimate

Scene.

THE theater again takes over the

Belasco tomorrow night. The first attraction under the new

policy of operation of the famed house again as a home for

legitimate attractions will be Bartlett Cormack’s new play, "Hey Diddle Did- dle," to be presented by Anne Nichols of "Abie’s Irish Rose" fame.

The play is a satiric comedy, drama- tizing the lives of Hollywood's "extra girls.” The cast includes a number of people familiar with Hollywood and well known to motion picture audi- ences. Among those taking part are

Conway Tearle, Martha Sleeper, Alice White, Lucille Ball, Adele Rowland, Alfred White, William Kent, Florence Auer, Don Beddoe, Franklyn Fox, Wil- liam Faye, Keenan Wynn, Robert Kel- lard and O. Z. Whitehead.

Norman Bel Geddes’ production of Sidney Kingsley's "Dead End" will be the next attraction at the National Theater, opening Monday, February, IS. The play is now well in its second year In New York and It has been hailed by critics and public alike as one of the outstanding American dramas of the past decade. The set- ting, by Norman Bel Geddes. and the direction of the author. Mr. Kingsley, have come In for a high share of

praise. "Dead End” takes place at the dead

end of a New York street where it runs into the East River. Unusual comedy and drama are gained by the juxtaposition of extremes in wealth and poverty, where the towering River Terrace Apartment rears its imposing height next door to dingy, crowded tenements.

Nathan Shows Curious Feat With Shakespeare

Mingling of Characters as Featured in His Work, “The Avon Flows,” Has Clever-

| ness—Social Theories in “Tide Rising.” By Richard Watts, Jr.

IN ADDITION to being America's most celebrated dramatic critic, Mr.

George Jean Nathan is a prankish fellow who is never so happy as when tripping up his unfortunate colleagues and causing them to sprawl on

their faces in undignified fashion. When, therefore, he arranges such a

work as “The Avon Flows,” Just published by Random House, and sends it forth as a debonair challenge to his fellow reviewers, we should be on our

guara. ne cnances are inav it u> ui;

a scheme to humble us again. Anyway, “The Avon Flows” la described as “an orchestration of three of Shakespeare’s own plays," and in it the poet's lines remain unchanged and intact. “There is,” says an editor’s note, ”no general change, save only in the cutting, the transposition of two short scenes, a

stage direction or so and the reldentl- flcation of the characters.”

The resulting play, it may be time to tell you. is “Romeo and Juliet” up to the time the lovers are married in Friar Laurence's cell. Then Romeo becomes a jealous husband in whose credulous ear the poison of suspicion is poured by his evil ancient, Tybalt, and you realize that you are being plunged into the lines and the situa- tions of “Othello." Here again, how- ever. the customary Elizabethan slaughter fails to take place. Romeo- Othello, thanks to Mr. Nathan’s inter- polated stage directions, overhears the clumsy plotting of Tybalt-Iago, kicks that scheming gentleman resoundingly in the rear and is being merely heavily sarcastic when he addresses to Juliet- Desdemona the lines which, in the original, are preliminary to murder. It seems, though, that Juliet can't take a Joke as well as the next one, and she Is so annoyed that she leaves Romeo and becomes a shrew. So, in the last act, you have Romeo-Petruchio taming her and reminding us once again that “The Taming of the Shrew” is one of the worst plays ever written. That, in a fairly brief and not too sympathetic outline. Is the Nathan orchestration of three Shakespearian plays, “The Avon Flows.”

ONE accustomed to looking gift horses carefully In the mouth, this

observer, who had been asking for an earnest social drama and received It in “Tide Rising," was by no means satisfied with the friendly offering. The new play, which is based on the cry by the already mentioned Mer- cutlo of "a plague on both your houses,” comes with considerable force to the defense of the belabored middle class in the warfare between capital and labor. Denouncing with almost equal vehemence the iniqui- ties and arrogance of both the big industrialists and the organized work- ers, it proclaims that the matter of industrial crisis can be solved only when the small storekeepers and their like take things in hand and dictate terms.

To illustrate the point, the author tells of a long-suffering druggist, the unhappy middleman in the class war, who is made the head of the vigilante group and proceeds to put both the arrogant mill owner and the radical strike leader in their places._

I TT IS unquestionably an amusing stunt that Mr. Nathan has ar-

ranged, and the amalgamation of nar-

j ratives works out smoothly enough. I suspect that the emergence of Mer- cutio in the character of Petruchio's flip serving man, Grumio, is not alto- gether a happy one and goes to sup- ply evidence in support of the asser- tion that Shakespeare had to kill off

j Mercutio early in "Romeo and Juliet” because he had run out of witty

i things for him to say. Perhaps the gay blade of Verona eventually would have turned into a bore of the Gru- mio type, which is as melancholy a

suggestion as Mr. Nathan’s belief that only death kept the great ro- mance of Romeo and Juliet frcm

1 turning into the silly blustering of "The Taming of the Shrew.” I re-

peat that there is no denying the cleverness of "The Avon Flows.” I must take the liberty of doubting, however, that the cynicism of this

| learned critical orchestration, logical as it certainly is. turns out to be much more than that. This, I have no doubt, is what is known in boxing circles as leading with your chin.
