'LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROY' IS TO START AT LOEW'S ON FRIDAY

Movie Rated One of Best Productions Freddie Bartholomew and Dolores Costello Are Stars of Film. BY JOHN W. THOMPSON In a setting as delicate as a cameo, D rector John Cromwell has produced Frances Hodgson Burnett’s classic, “Little Lord Fauntleroy,” starring the screen's leading juvenile, Freddie Bartholomew, opening at Loew s Friday. Dolores Costello Barrymore, in retirement for four years, is to be seen in the role of Dearest, the little lord's mother. While her inactivity has not added to her beauty, her acting has not suffered. She most certainly is on the. “road back.” Master Bartholomew never has been better than in this story of a young American boy who becomes an English lord. He has more to do than in “David Copperfield,” and does it just as well. Without the traditional curls and plush suit of the part, he is more acceptable than many presented on the stage and screen years ago. The year is 1885. Havisham, lawyer of the Earl of Dorincourt, arrives in Brooklyn to tell Mrs. Emol • Dearest) that the death of the Earl’s third son makes Ceddie, her sen, the heir. He takes them to England, where Ceddie is to live in Dorincourt castle with his grandfather, the Earl. Dearest, because the Earl had not approved his son’s marriage, is required to live in the court lodge. Child Softens Earl Because of the child’s influence, the tyrannical Earl improves the living conditions of his tenants. Even the Earl’s devoted dog, Doujfdl, goes to Ceddie’s side. Every day, Ceddie insists on visiting his mother. She never tells him of the estrangement, and he grows to like his grandfather. The Earl gives a party for his heir, and Ceddie makes a favorable impression on the notables, many of whom were enemies of the Earl. Havisham arrives with news of a woman who claims she was secretly married to the Earl’s son and therefore her son is the rightful heir. Earl Visits Dearest Crushed, the Earl visits Dearest and tells her that no matter what happens she and Ceddie are to be provided for. Through the efforts of Dick, Ceddie’s bootblack friend back in Brooklyn, and Mr. Hobbs, who ran a grocery near their American home, the woman is revealed as a fraud. Ceddie then is securely established and the Earl invites Dearest to live with them. Mickey Rooney as Dick, steals our praise for his natural work, and should go places. He’s played many roles, but this is his best. C. Aubrey Smith does his finest character work as the aristocratic Earl. Mr. Smith is a grand actor, but never has had the opportunity this part gives him. When he suffers with the gout, we suffered with him. Others Add to Film Henry Stephenson, Guy Kibbee and Una O'Connor aid materially to the success of the picture. Charles Rosher’s fine photography is graphically correct and Sophie Wacher’s costumes are in excellent taste. The whole film, of course, hinges on Master Bartholomew, who carries his part splendidly. The pathos and comedy of the story have been captured in a challenge to actresses who played the role. Freddie’s perfect diction lends itself well to the portrayal of Ceddie. a type of idealistic boy who probably couldn’t be found today. "Little Lord Fauntleroy” should take its place alongside "David Copperfield” and “A Tale of Two Cities” as one of the screen's masterpieces. All-Color Pictures Winning Producers By United Press HOLLYWOOD. March 4.—A11-color talking pictures have won over most of the major studios, a survey disclosed. Pioneer Pictures, which helped pave the way with "Becky Sharp,” has three color productions on its list for 1936. They now are filming the first, “Dancing#Pirates.” Paramount the field with “Journey to Liars,” a pseudo-scien-tific story, and the Biblical spectacle, “Samson and Delilah.’’ Fox will make anew version of "Romona,” in color while Samuel Goldwyn plans rainbow hues for "Hurricane,” South Seas pictures. David O. Selznick is to use color in "Dark Victory.” Walter Wanger, independent producer, plans to continue his "tinted” films. Wanger's "Trail of the Lonesome Pine” was successfully done in color. European Producer Now in Hollywood By United Press HOLLYWOOD. March 4.—Gregor Rabinowitsch, European film producer who made Jan Kiepura's "Be Mine Tonight," today joined the Hollywood colony, under contract with one of the major studios. Asa youth in Russia. Rabinowitsch became interested in the theater. After serving his apprenticeship he sponsored the debut of Nikita Balieff, founder of the “Chauve Souris.” comedy revue. For six years he was a producer for UFA in Germany.

NORMAN SEIGEL March 4.—People have “blind dates” with the movies in Hollywood. They go to the neighborhood theaters, without knowing what they’ll see. But, unlike most “blind dates,” they’re always satisfied. If you see huge blue searchlights sweeping across the sky, it’s not an indication that there is an airplane landing field below. Just a movie house having a preview.

The searchlights used to be reserved for the big premieres at Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood, but now you’re apt to find them in front of almost any cinema. The lights and huge banners hanging on the front of the theater stating “Studio Preview Tonight,” are the only hint the public has of what will be presented. The names of the pictures to be showm are seldom krmwn. Often the people in the motion picture industry don’t know what is going to be previewed. The preview showing is the studio’s method of testing a picture for public reaction before it is released throughout the country. The director and all of the cast attend. So does the film director. Often many changes are made in the picture after it has had its preview. Sometimes as much as 1000 feet of film is cut. The preview audiences see the first draft of the picture. a tt a PEOPLE also flock to the public previews, because they know that a number ot movie stars will be in the crowd and they’ll be able to see them in person. The studios try to keep secret the name of the picture to be previewed. so that the critics won't come to the show. Critics seem to be too occupied to take the gamble that the public does. The secrecy has reached the state where a preview film is rushed out of a studio by motorcycle messenger. Preview audiences are different than any others. When the principal characters appear on the screen, they cheer and applaud. Often this form, of reaction can be embarrassing to a star, particularly if a “bit” player rates a bigger hand. We sat behind Joseph Calleia, the night his last picture, “Tough Guy,” was being previewed. He was scrunched down low in his seat, looking nervous. When he first entered the action the crowd applauded. But the woman who sat next to us exclaimed in a voice I’m sure he heard, “That guy again—I don’t like him.” tt a ALSO present at that particular showing were Jackie Cooper, Jean Hersholt, May Rob-

Actors Should Starve in Order to Succeed, Says Ace Director 75 Per Cent of Them Lose Artistic Fire With Advent of Prosperity, McCarey Claims. Times Special HOLLYWOOD, March 4.—Actors ought to starve in order to succeed, according to ace director Ray McCarey, who estimates that 75 per cent of them lose their artistic fire with the advent of prosperity.

“For years ambitious youngsters have been arriving in Hollywood with energy and the ability to back it up. Penniless, many of them have ‘breakaway’ suits with shiny pants, one change of laundry and indigestion from eating the wolf at the door. All they want, they assure you, is a ‘break’,” said McCarey. They get the break, and their acting often suffers, the director maintains. Too many become conceited, dictatorial, selfish and a dead loss to the casting office. “Three years ago a studio discovered a lad who promised much. The company paid his back bills, bought him a complete wardrobe, sent for his mother so that the two might be together, settled a comfortable cash sum on him, and assured him a good salary. “At first the boy took it right. Then the compaiative luxury ‘got to’ him; his ambition went out the window, his fire sputtered and died, and he became a major problem. “A few weeks ago this same youth refused to work a few r minutes after 5, though by refusing he cost his company SIO,OOO. Starving’s too good for an actor like that.” McCarey said he disagrees with Ernest Hemingway, who once proposed the banishment of all writers to Siberia, where, through the hardships they experienced before they succeeded, they might recapture some of their early sincerity and enthusiasm. McCarey would call back all the writers, because he considers them the backbone of the picture industry, and send the actors in their place. “On second thought, I don't think I’d do that either,” he concluded. “After all, what have I got against Siberia?” Horses Wouldn’t Win for Bing Two horses owned by Bing Crosby Sidn’t win a race as long as he owned them but won the first race in which they were entered after he sold them. They were Miss Flip and Uncle Gus. Marsha Plans Studies Following completion of her role in “Desert Gold.” Marsha Hunt has arranged for instruction in French, German and piano.

son and Director Chester Franklin. Rin Tin Tin Jr., who played an important part in the picture, also was present, being on display in the lobby. George Raft, Rosalind Russell, Arline Judge, Leo Carrillo and Alan Dinehart gave the audience a “personal appearance” thrill at the preview of Rupert Hughes’ “It Had to Happen,” in which they appeared. Only a very few of the stars, such as Dietrich, stay away from the public previews of their pictures. Dietrich’s latest picture, “Desire” went back to the cutting room after its test showing here. Some of the critics who managed to be present didn't care for the picture and their reactions were responsible for the revision. They also were responsible for Dietrich’s terrific headache the following day. These previews occur out here nearly every night. However, big premieres at $5.50 a seat only happen about once in two years. Then the movie fans line up on the street outside of the theater to get a closeup look of the Hollywood parade. They can see the picture the next day for 50 cents. The Chaplin "Modern Times” premiere a few weeks ago was one of these super occasions.

INSTEAD of only two powerful searchlights in fropt of the Chinese Theater, where the premiere took place, there was one every five feet. An orchestra played in the entrance and the red plush carpet was rolled out to the curb for the ermined ladies and their ‘top-hatless” escorts. As the stars arrived, the crowd spotted them and cheered. Attendants of the theater also spotted them and took them up to the

microphone, where they voiced praise on Chaplin. Loudspeakers carried their voices both to the crowd on the streets and inside the theater. The high spot of the evening was Chaplin’s arrival with Paulette Goddard, his new leading lady, on and off the screen. The stars drove up in long limousines. Fat little pumpkin taxis brought the Cinderellas, who hoped to be seen and mistaken for some celebrity. Amelia Earhart was mistaken by many for Katharine Hepburn. There were so many women in the crowd w r ho looked like stars that one couldn’t tell who was who, and who was “who’s who.’’

Clark Gable, who wasn’t present, arrived at least 100 times, according to the shouts of the street crowd. Leopold Stokowski, conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra, wearing a blue shirt and no hat, did stop, not only to speak but also to lead the jazz orchestra. With him was Anita Loos, author of “Gentlemen Prefer Blonds.” Apparently she has the same taste in gentlemen. Lupe and her Johnny Weiss-

Town Hall Lecturer on Sunday to Exhibit His Trained Eagle Capt. C. R. W. Knight of London Is to Speak on ‘Monarchs of the African Veldt,’ at Keiths. With Capt. C. W. R. Knight of London, when he comes to Keith’s Theater Sunday at 3 for a Town Hall lecture, is to be his trained eagle, “Mr, Ramshaw.”

It is the same bird which recently created a sensation in New York when he flew down from the Gotham Hotel roof to do a bit of hunting. He jammed traffic, scared pedestrians, and brought out police reserves who captured him a mile from the hotel. “Mr. Ramshaw” is a Scotch golden eagle, trained in falconry by his master. He is to be in the foyer at Keith’s from 1 to 3 Sunday. Capt. Knight’s lecture, "Monarchs of the African Veldt,” is to be illustrated with movies. The lecturer passed last year in South Africa filming and studying rare birds. While on the Southwest coast, he visited an uninhabited island where penguins abound. His studies of these birds, and of the Sacred Ibis, held in high esteem by ancient Egyptians, provide material for a part of his lecture. Zebra, giraffe, impala, sable ante-

muller rated one of the bigger hands of the evening. The little Mexican spit-fire in white crepe and sables was covered with diamond bracelets from elbow' to elbow and wore a huge pendant of diamonds and rubies. The New Deal probably could use her to balance the budget. In the excitement, Charles Boyer and Edward Everett Horton slipped into the theater unnoticed. Mary Pickford and Doug Fairbanks both stopped at the microphone—at different times! tt a tt CHARLIE'S curtain speech before the showing of his “Five-Year Ficture,” was better than the film itself. He impersonated Charles Skouras, movie theater magnate, relating in a “Parkyakakas” dialect his conversation with Skouras regarding the premiere. According to Chaplin, Skouras was of the opinion that Charlie would have to make a personal appearance on the stage of the theater, as the picture alone wasn’t worth the $5.50 admission price. Premiere notwithstanding, the projection room was operating as usual. In the middle of the showing the screen went dark for a few minutes due to a break in the film. However, the audience didn’t whistle or shout. They probably assumed that it was anew piece of Chaplin technique. There was thunderous applause, though, when Charlie sang on the screen. Whether it is just another preview or a spectacular premiere, all Hollywood turns out. The sight of movie stars is still an attraction to the average native here. It gives the women a chance to gossip about what this and that star wore and the youngsters an opportunity to stay up late and maybe snatch an autograph in the bargain, although Hollywood crowds are orderly compared to those in New York and other parts of the country. As for the men, well who wouldn’t walk a few blocks to see a beautiful girl? There are many at premieres. Next Monday—A m e r i c a ’ s youngest sweetheart—Shirley Temple.

Foster Songs to Be Heard Music Orchestrally Arranged by William Pelz. Tima Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., March 4. —Orchestral arrangements of Stephen Foster songs, written by William Pelz, graduate music student at Indiana University, for the Foster Hall organization of Indianapolis, are to be presented here on March 12 as part of the I. music series. The performance has been made possible through the cooperation of J. K. Lilly. The premiere performance of Pelz’ “Symphonic Rhapsody on Stephen Foster Melodies” by the university orchestra is scheduled for an early date. It will be played later by the Terre Haute Civic Symphony Orchestra at the April convention of the Federation of Music Clubs in Indianapolis. The composer received the bachelor of music degree from Indiana University in 1935. He has assisted in cataloguing band and orchestra music at Foster Hall, and directed a male chorus in a concert of Foster songs on the I. U. stage program at the Indiana State Fair last fall. Chaliapin Jr. Starts Work in Film Studio By United Press HOLLYWOOD, March 4.—Feodor Chaliapin Jr., son of the noted Russian singer, today started work in a studio research department in hopes of becoming a producer. The blond youth who once wanted to be an actor said his accent forced him to turn to production with the advent of sound. He had appeared in several silent films. Chaliapin was actor, film editor, assistant director and producer in France and Germany, but returned to America to “learn all about pictures.” “American pictures are the best, and I was happy to receive this offer,” he said. Dix Retains Orchestra Richard Dix still retains the “set orchestra,” consisting of a violin and a miniature organ, that he first hired 10 years ago. It plays for the star between scenes of “Yellow Dust,” and his other starring pictures.

Mr. Webber drew upon Bach, Handel and the moderns for his program, except for a transcription of Wagner's "Traeume” in his last group. He displayed amazing manual and pedal facility and a tasteful discrimination of color in registration. Technically, he always was master of the situation, avoiding a sin of many organists who plunge into a difficult piece and are swept away in a millstream of velocity. Best of the first group were the Bach Prelude and Fugue in G Major and the Allegro from Handel's Fourth Concerto. Extreme clarity of voice leading and buoyancy of rhythm characterized both, while careful phrasing added variety. Clokey's arrangement of an old Pastorale was played with delight-* ful grace and lightness. Edmundson Group Included Much of the program was taken! up by a group of the American composer, Garth Edmundson. Ths pieces were of varying worth, with interesting development of ideas, strong rhythms and vivid colors contrasting with arid and apparently interminable stretches. The score’s difficulties were played with consummate skill. A Vierne Impromptu, Karg-Elert’s impressionistic “Landscape in Mist,” and the Finale from Widor’s Second Symphony, w'hich closed the program, were especially well done. For encores, Mr. Webber added as divergent a pair as Daquin’s “Le Coucou,” played as delicately as if on an old French clavecin for which it was written, and Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries,” truly a "wa? horse” in more W'ays than one. Enjoyment of an otherwise bril*liant recital, was marred by the in-’ terpretation of the Bach chorale, “O Man, Bemoan Thy Sins,” and the Wagner “Traeume”; the first because of a sentimentality which robbed the work of its dignity, and the second because of a meandering “freedom” that amounted to rhythmic disintegration. These moments, however, were fleeting, and the prevailing impression was of a highly gifted and intelligent performer. Thanks to the Guild, the audience was reminded that the organ has its place as a concert instrument, as well as in Sunday services. Fred Stone Now Film Star From an humble start in the theatrical profession as a medical show performer, Fred Stone is now a world-famous film star in his new picture, “Farmer In the Dell.” Powell, Arthur in New Drama William Powell and Jean Arthur are appearing together for the first time since “The Green Murder Case” in anew mystery drama, tentatively titled “One to Two.”
