FILM FANS TO BE OFFERED WIDE VARIETY IN SCREEN FARE
‘War Film Is Coming To Circle
Stars of Divergent Pasts Brought Together By Picture.
From divergent beginnings, Paul Muni and Miriam Hopkins arrived at the same cine-
matic attainment—costarring roles in R-K-O’s “The Woman I Love.” It opens tomorrow at the Circle. Muni was born in Austria; Miss Hopkins in the South, the daughter of a prominent Georgia family. . While Muni was behind footlights in his parents’ traveling show, Miss Hopkins was being educated in Eastern private schools. He first won dramatic recognition for striking characterizations while she danced her way to Broadway fame after starring in student theatricals. But after Broadway once was achieved, their lives began to parallel. Both became Theater ~ Guild stars, and both took active parts movements.
First Efforts Impressive
They even entered pictures about the same time, Muni going to Hollywood in 1929 to make “The Valiant,” Miss Hopkins facing the ‘cameras a year later in a Long Island studio in “Fast and Loose.” Neither boasts of these early screen efforts. They were before the days of “The Story of Louis Pasteur” and “The Good Earth” for Mr. Muni, and “These Threa” “Barbary Coast” and “Splendor” for Miss Hopkins. Playing together for the first time in “The Woman I Love,” they are
seen as a French World War avia- |
tor and his wife. The story is an adaptation of ‘‘L’Equipage.” by Joseph Kessel, prominent French novelist, who based his story. it is said, on his observations as a World War flier. The story was filmed last year by an all-French cast, and it is said to have gained prominence in Europe. The book is said to be the most widely read of the author's 25 novels.
French Director Imported
Louis Hayward—you may remember his supporting role in “Anthony Adverse”—heads the picture's supporting cast, which includes Colin Clive, Mady Christians, Sterling Holloway, Owen Davis Jr. and Wally Albright. Not satisfied with just the French story for its American translation, R-K-O imported Director Anatolz Litvak, who made the French film, to head the production staff.
The Circle's second picture be- |
ginning tomorrow is to be “Her Husband Lies,” with Gail Patrick, Ricardo Cortez, June Martel and Tom Brown. . It's billed as a dramatically romantic tale of a gambling husband and a beautiful wife.
KENT TAYLOR IS IN PAPA ROLE AGAIN
By United Press HOLLYWOOD, April 29.—Kent Taylor was a proud papa today— to the annoyance of directors who are trying to get his picture done. The star upset shooting schedules to rush to the hospital where his wife, the former Augusta Kulek, Tuesday presented him with another daughter, weighing 7 pounds. Their first, Barbara, is 2 years old.

River Walkl
Inspiration
Of ‘Dead End’
East River Associaticns Provided Basis for
Coming Play.
Because Sidney .Kingsley took a walk by a river one day, he came to write “Dead End,” which Norman Bel Geddes brings to English’s Monday for three evening performances and a matinee. The touring cast supplements Mr. Bel Geddes’ New York cast, now in its second successful year on Broadway. The troupe of 70 has been on the road several months, recently played in Chicago, and is en route to San Francisco for an indefinite stay. Vince McKnight, Mr. Bel Geddes advance man, told us how Mr. Kingsley chanced to write “Dead End.” “It was a mild day and the breezes of New York's East River tossed the curtains of Mr. Kingsley's studio,” Mr. McKnight said. “His play, ‘Men in White, was running along in best of health on Broadway, and he was searching for a theme for a new play.
Walks by River
“So he took a walk along the East River waterfront. “And there were the kids whom he has made famous in ‘Dead End.’ They were learning the tricks of the racketeer’s trade. They were diving off the bulkhead, into dirty East River. They thought it was swell. And when they were through they ran off to Second Ave. to have a fight with that gang and to steal something to eat from Shultie’s. “Mr. Kingsley went to Shultie’s with them. He is only 30 now and was only 28 then. He saw them fight the Second Ave. gang. They liked him. He became one of them in time. Their language became his. But their lives worried him. “Here they were, right at his front door. His apartment had a glistening tile bathroom, where water ran precisely out of the faucets as it was intended to. And yet next door they lived in rooms in which water seeped through the cracks in the wall. Rotten buildings, built long ago, and now infested with human lives.”
Large Setting Used
With this background of squalor and degradation, Mr. Kingsley sat down to write “Dead End,” filling his play with his East River characters, language and thought. He wrote nearly a year before completing a script which satisfied him. Then he sent it to Mr. Bel Geddes. For he felt Mr. Bel Geddes could give his realistic play a vibrant setting which would emphasize the background and characters. . The large Bel Geddes setting will be assembled on English’s stage, and is said to be an almost exact reproduction of the original used in the New York production. Vincent Burke, English’s manager, announced that tickets for “Dead End” are on sale now at the box office.
AYRES IS CAST
Lew Ayres today was set for. one of the featured roles in “Last Train From Madrid,” joining a cast including Gilbert Roland, Dorothy Lamour, Robert Cummings, Olympe Bradna, Anthony Quinn, Lionel Atwill, Karen Morley and Helen Mack.
NEW WAR PICTURE
A war between two newspapers is the theme of “Exclusive,” with Fred MacMurray and Frances Farmer, being directed by Alexander Hall.
TAKES NEW POSITION |
Frederick Burleigh, whose contract as Indianapolis Civic Theater director expires at the end of the current season, has accepted a position with the Pittsburgh Playhouse, Thomas L. Neal, Civic president, has announced. Mr. Burleigh plans to leave Indianapolis shortly after the Civic’s closing play of the season, “The Torch Bearers,” ends its six-day run on May 12. He .is to go to Pittsburgh for a series of conferences and from there to Cohasset, Mass., for a summer season with the South Shore Players. The director succeeded Hale MacKeen three years ago as Civic Theater head. He is a graduate of the Yale Theater and for several seasons has been associate director of the South Shore Players, an organization headed by Alexander Dean, of Yale University.
Accomplishments Here Recognized
“It is with regret that we announce that Mr. Burleigh will not return to the Civic next fall,” Mr. Neal said, "but we feel that the flattering offer he received from the Pittsburgin theater is in recognition of the outstanding accomplishments of the Indianapolis Civic Theater under Mr. Burleigh's direction.” Mr. Neal also announced appointment of a committee to interview applicants for the Civic directorship. Harold B. Tharp heads the committee, which includes Eunice Dissette, Mrs. Rosamond Van Camp Hill, Walter E. Jackson and Mortimer C. Furscott.
Mr. Burleigh's successor will not |:
be ndmed for several weeks, Mr. Neal said.
Golden West Girl Blond, Says Star
Times Special HOLLYWOOD, April 29 —History is being disputed and Jeanette MacDonald is citing statistics on blonds, to keep from becoming a brunette. The edict of William Anthony McGuire, who is to produce “The Girl of the Golden West” with Miss MacDonald and Nelson Eddy, started the controversy. “There were no blonds in California in 1849,” insists McGuire. “There were only Spanish girls. So Miss MacDonald must go strikingly brunette, and be a Latin type. “Of course, there were blonds then,” insists Miss MacDonald. “Swedish families came to San Francisco even before the gold rush. And as a matter of fact, many Spanish girls are blond. One sees them, especially in Barcelona. And, anyhow, I won't be a brunette.” The decision will come later. ;
