One of Municipal Opera s greatest favorites, "The New Moon,” comes to the stage of the Municipal Open Air theater in Forest park Mondaynight, with Charlotte Lansing in the original role of Marianne, in which she won her first New York success as a prima donna. Surrounding her is a cast including Allan Jones as Captain Robert Misson, patriot, pirate and adventurer: Jack Sheehan and Doris Patston. who return to Municipal Opera to appear respectively as the diminutive Alexander and Julie; Leonard Ceeley as the stout-heart-ed Philippe; Bartlett Simmons as Duval; Joseph Macaulay as the conspiring Ribaud; Edith King as the husky but loving Clotilde, and Robert Long as the redoubtable Besac. Sigmund Romberg's genius for haunting melody never created a finer score than that of "The New Moon,” from which comes "Lover Come Back to Me.” probably the greatest song hit of recent years, which Miss Lansing sings. "New Moon” is a musical romance or the day-s when the French king ruled over the old Louisiana of which St. Louis was a part. It us founded upon a historic character. Chevalier Robert Misson, whom history writes down as a pirate, but who may have been, as the romance suggests, a patriot ahead of his time. Sent to Louisiana as a bondsman to the wealthy ship owner.

Bennett, park manager. Hidden in the sandy beach of the big concrete pool and elsewhere in the park will be small metal medallions. bearing stamped upon them various denominations, ranging from $1 to SSO, which, when presented to the park office, will be redeemed for cash. "Treasure Hunters” may begin their search for buried wealth on Sunday. Aug. 12, Mr. Bennett announced. -The medallions will be buried not more than five inches below the surface of the earth or sand, and those who seek to find them will not be permitted to use anything larger than an ordinary table knife blade.” said Mr. Bennett. Most of the medallions will be buried on the sand beach of the pool. The “Treasure Hunt” is expected to bring thousands of seekers to the park. The contest will be open to all ages of persons, adults as well as youngsters.

THE appearance of John Dillinger Sr. and members of his family on the stage of the Lyric theater this past week did not result in any big box office figures. Ted Nicholas, Lyric manager, told me today that “the theater made money and the gross was higher than a normal week, although the expenses were more than on a straight picture policy.”

Mr. Nicholas maintained that he received no complaints from his patrons against the appearance of the Dillingers. Repeatedly, I have taken the position that those persons who arrive on the stage because of the notoriety of a bandit and killer have no right in the world to be there. I can find no reason under the heavens why theaters should pamper to the morbid curiosity of a few thousand people. Thousands of war mothers still

are nursing the tender memories of their sons who are buried in Europe—the real heroes of the World war. Those mothers have not sought the stage for commercial gain. t In answering questions put to him on the stage Mr. Dillinger did not present a single fact that has not been published. The performance I reviewed failed to show the father of the slain criminal in the light of deep remorse for the life his son led. To me, the appearance of Dillinger Sr. on any stage is not theater for adults and, of course, never will be for family trade. Mr. Dillinger and his family are not actors, but they appeared upon a stage here which has presented some of the greatest men and women of the theater. Mr. Nicholas contends that the appearance of the Dillingers was not morbid and could not be compared with ‘‘the morbid pictures in some newsreels.” "I refused to book those reels,” Mr. Nicholas said. As far as I'm concerned I refused to see any reels showing the exploits and the body of the slain criminal. tt U B LOUIS STOCKMAN of the Stockman studios left today for New York city, where he will teach at the fifty-first annual convention of the Dancing Masters of America. This is the largest association of dancing teachers in the world and the annual conventions are attended by several hundred members from all parts of the United States and Canada. Teachers usually are changed each year, but Mr. Stockman has had the honor of being asked to teach for the fourth year. From New York he will go directly to Chicago to teach at both the normal school and convention of the Chicago Association of Dancing Masters. This will be Mr. Stockman's seventh consecutive year to teach for this organization, which numbers among its members leaders in the profession from all over the country.

Famed Comic Pair Stars in Lyric Movie Wheeler and Woolscy Poke Fun at Old Timers as •Cavaliers.* Those madcap comedians, Bort Wheeler and Robert Woolsey, hold forth on the Lyric's screen for the current week in their latest funfllm, "Cockeyed Cavaliers,” a comedy with music and girls, unique in that it turns back, the dial of. time some four hundred years, the story byEdward Kaufman and Ben Holmes being laid in the medieval era "when knights were bold.” The picture is a satire on the historical and costume screen fare now in vogue. It presents Wheeler and Woolsey as two roistering vagabonds who undertake- to sa\e petite Dorothy Lee from a forced marriage with the duke of Wcskit. Their wanderings take them to the duke’s castle, where Woolsey falls in love with the duke's pretty niece, Thelma Todd, while Wheeler strikes up a romance with Dorothy. All goes merrily until the nobleman discovers Dorothy's identity. Then he proceeds to bring affairs to an issue, the merriment reaching a hectic climax in a thrilling wild boar hunt. Noah Beery, Robert Greig, Henry Sedley, Franklyn Pangborn, Alf P. James, Jack Norton and Snub Pollard participate in the funmaking. Music and lyrics supplied by Will Jason and Val Burton include a number of catchy songs, among them being "I Love to Dilly Dally” and "I Went Hunting." Mark Sandrich, who directed "Cockeyed Cavaliers,” again employed his original “rhythmic dialogue” technique, which won a 1931 Motion Picture Academy award, in the production of the picture. “Broadway Varieties,” a Mentone musical novelty, introducing Slim Trimblin, famous blackface star; the Mosconi Brothers; the Jim Wong troupe and a host of vaudeville and revue favorites, and a “Strange as It Seems" reel devoted to oddities culled from all parts cL the world, arc the short subjects’ completing the program. Contract to Nugent Paramount today gave Elliott Nugent anew directoral contract to run until September, 1935, calling for six pictures in that time. Nugent’s newest picture is “She Loves Me Not,” starring Bing Crosby.
