Road’ Still Has Punch

Barton's Jester Lester’ Is Highlight in New Visit To English's.

By JAMES THRASHER The task of writing something today about “Tobacco Road” is a formidable one, nothing less. For while this dusty counterpart of Tennyson’s brook has been running on and on it has carried with it most of the reviewers’ adjectives. The kudos and lambasting sound faint and distant, but the tribe of

Jeeter Lester continues to be heard

and enjoyed. In fact, it seemed that only the . sudden bad turn in the weather kept

English’s from accommodating a full | house last night when the play took |i

up a week's stand for its fourth consecutive year here. alli the “Tobacco Road” patrons come from nowadays must be ex-

plained by a wiser head than this|3

ore. But they do come. ...In a curtain speech last ‘night, Walter Ayers, the .company’s veteran “Augusta banker,” called the drama “this grand old play”; and it has become just that.

Saw It Four Tiines

All that is left to do, then, is to fall back upon that reprehensible habit of expressing personal likes and dislikes. Nothing probably interests the reader less. Yet I have now seen “Tobacco Road” four times and not. from necessity, either. Since not every one would care to do this, I can only try to explain what keeps drawing me back. Certainly it isn’t that word-of-mouth promise of some salty talk ard a few frank actions, which is the bait of most first-timers. After the initial shock, they cease to be noticeable except as integral parts of the play. For the great secret of “Tobacco Road” is that the characters, situations, speeches and reactions may be accepted, as typical and credible. It may be that Jeeter Lester becomes an increasingly fascinating old reprobate the more intimately you know him. He is, as everyone knows, a pathetic child of nature, urieducated and uninhibited. He is unmoral, rather than immoral. He is lecherous and dishonest, but his |? cheerfulness and optimism extend beyond the bounds of his laziness, fed by starvation, and, in the limited scope of his dazed mental processes, his love of the land has a certain nobility.

An 0dd ‘Classic’

Over a period of time, he emerges as a rather complex character, as well as decidedly the oddest “classic” in the American theater. Furthermore, Jeeter is the fixed body around which the other characters move as satellites. This situation is heightened currently by the performance. John Barton is a delightful, lovable Jeeter. He also is an excellent actor. His characterization remains fresh and moving after its interminable repetitions. I've even become excessively fond of his extravagant vaudeville mannerisms which, though they clash with the play’s essential tragedy, remain genuinely funny. . The rest of the cast seems tired— as why shouldn’t they? Sara Perry’s Ada has its poignant moments, but we have seen better performances | ijn the past four years. There are several replacements, but no improvements. Eugenia Wilson, the new Pearl, misses the character entirely, and Patricia Quinn’s Sister Bessie has some added exaggerations this season. The other newcomers are only adequate. ’

Barton Is the Same

But Mr. Barton and the play remain the same, and I confidently hope to see them both another year. (Last season the engagement was heralded as part of a “farewell tour.” There are no such dire predictions in this year’s programs.) If, by chance, you never have seen “Tobacco Road,” you should * betake yourself to English’s sometime during the current week. Though it . promises to outstrip “Abie’s Irish Rose” as the great American classic, it can’t go on forever. And if you miss it, you stand the chance of becoming a cultural pariah—just like those persons who didn’ read “Gone With the V Wind.”

But Show Goes on and ‘Tickles Clientele.

By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN United Press Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD, Dec.. 27. — Earl Carroll placed an ice pack on his pallid brow today and hoped for the best after such a super-super-super premiere .as even_his* blase, $1000-per-seat cabaret = customers never expected. He promised that henceforth the prima donna wouldn’t disappear through the floor while singing her aria in his new theater restaurant; that no waiter would stumble with a tray of ice cream in the midst of a classical dance; that the microphones wouldn’t go dead at the wrong moments, and that the curtains wouldn't open any more by mistake, The trouble, as the shy-looking Carroll explained, seemed to be that,

Fortune Tellers’ Ranks

The reason for that is obscure.

IN NEW YORK —¢v ceoreE ross

on Increzse, Making It Easier to Learn What's Ahead.

EW YORK, Dec. 27.—There is nothing quite like knowing just what to expect from life and what with the New Year coming up like Kipling’s thunder out of China, we journeyed down to one of the fortune tellers who are more numerous this yeargthan ever before.

Maybe it was the recent conven-

tion of the Fortune Tellers of America at which someone advanced the

as valid for soothsaying as tea leaves. Or maybe it is just that times are better and people are indulging in little luxuries such as the purchase of some personal knick-knack —which is all most fortune telling is, anyway. However, we went down to Greenwich Village and saw a lady called Kathaleen O'Hanlon, who was once a famous dancer and whose scrapbook indicated that she helped introduce the rhumba into this country and designed the frilly costume now almost uniform for a Latin and psuedo-Latin dancer. Miss O'Hanlon is a red-haired woman of about 40, still an excellent dancer. In fact, fortune telling is a part-time affair for her. The rest of her working day is spent in night club dancing with a youthful partner. She is partial to cards, although she does squint at a palm every now and thén. She says that palms are more indicative of character than predictions of the future. For instance, if you are nervous and clench your fists frequently, you will develop certain lines. Just to lease the customers, however, she ill make some generalizations from a palm. If you watch closely, you will see that she pays much more attention to the face than to the palm. It is one of the secrets of fortunetelling that the face reveals much more of the past than the hand. Psychology is the word. ” ” ”

ISS O'HANLON saw nothing but good for us next year. But she generally does for everybody. Even if the cards do indicate a tragedy—under the system taught her, she says, by a Russian Gypsy woman—she passes it over lightly. After all, there is no need alarming the customers. She says something like: “Well, something unfavorable might happen next spring, but the cards aren’t sure.” Now that’s noncommital enough and is sufficient hint to place the customer on his, guard against the Ides of March of whatever happens to be the month of the year. One of our newspaper colleagues —who sent us to see Miss O'Hanlon, by the way—has a highly confidential business deal on the fire. To his amazement, the seeress told him about it. He asked her who had tipped her off, though as a bonafide journalist, he should have known that it isn’t cricket ever to reveal a source. But the telepathic Miss O’Hanlon stood pat. No one told her anything, she said. Those mystic forces merely had gone-to work and communicated our friend’s most private

_|concerns to her. She would testify

the management set up a series of booths containing (a) a crystal ball reader, (b) a palmist, (¢) an astrologer, (d) a gypsy card reader, (e) a tea leaf reader and (f) a medium. The crystal ball reader got the most play, possibly because the customers looked so long and deeply into the glass ball that a form of self-hypnosis set in and they wandered away exclaiming about the power of the seer.

UR most recent encounter with,

a foreteller, before we corsulted Miss O'Hanlon, was a palm reader named Dr. Sydney Ross (no kin) who plies his craft in the swanky Rainbow room. Now Dr. Ross is not as kindly disposed toward his client's feelings as is Miss O’Hanlon. Besides, he is bluntly critical of his *subjects. In our instance, he was cruelly accurate. He told us that our lat-

lent talents were being dissipated

in a life of laziness and that the time had come to pull ourselves together. He said that we were having too much fun out of this vale of tears to care much about our more serious side and that the second, the convergent line, in our palm, showed that we didn’t have much sense about money. He predicted that if - we didn’t do more careful, personal bookkeeping, our finances would run into disaster. We thanked Dr. Ross for his advice, but we liked Miss O’Hanlon’s better We’d rather not

FOR "WALKING OUT

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 27 (U. P.).— A studio demanded $8000 damages today from Walter Catlett, veteran stage and screen comedian, charging that he ‘ran out” on a picture. A suit filed in Superior Court by Paramount Pictures, Inc., said that Mr. Catlett went to work on the picture “I'm From Missouri” contract at $1500 a week. He worked Dec. 10° but when the cast was assembled next day Mr. Catlett was missing, it was alleged. Studio executives said when located in Burbank the actor announced: “I'll return when it serves my desires.” The studio had to replace him and start the picture over.

too many machinists in the depths below his club, which is by all odds the most spectacular on the West Coast. So many things happened that weren’t on the program that even the $1000 customers got their money’s worth. | Carroll, whose exploits as theatrical manager, beauty contest judge, fan dance inventor, and champagne bath impresario have made headlines these many years, built a new kind of cabaret, tailored especially for Hollywood. It consisted of a tremendous and modernistic building, with ' black patent leather ceiling from which dangled 10,000 neon lamps, almost an acre of floor covered with burgundy carpet an inch and a half thick and not one revolving stage, but two, revolving inside each other. In the main room the common folks sat at $10 per head, cocktails 50 cents extra, dinner free. Next door, behind an elaborately soundproofed wall sat the $1000 customers in what Carroll named “the inner circle.” These included Darryl Zanuch, Walter Wanger, Harold Lloyd, Walter Disney, Cecil B. De Mille, Bing Crosby, Leo Carillo and a couple of hundred others who felt the privacy in a night club was worth $1000. They can come back again and again, for the rest of their lives, without paying more. The $1000 check each handed Carroll served as a life-time cover charge. They were lolling in their own private tepee, in any event, and perhaps 900 $10-per-each customers were admiring the velvet draped slums on the other side of the

wall when the show, scheduled to]

begin at 9:15 p. m,, started at 10:35. Miss Susan Miller, one of the prettiest girls. Carroll ever picked, was singing a ditty about little old New York, when the platform on which she stood started to sink. Miss Miller kept on singing, while such guests as Myrna Loy, Edgar Bergen, Joan Bennett and many another howled. Miss Miller finally reappeared with a jerk and finished her number. Then came Mr. Reginald Craig, who was nonplussed when the enormous curtains parted behind him and the two revolving stages started revolving in opposite directions. The electrician began throwing switches, though, and everything calmed down.” There followed 30 more numbers, bingety-bing-bing, thanks to those trick stages, and the customers saw so much entertainment in such a hurry that their roast beef got cold. The. food was excellent and for that matter, so was the show, after the most beautiful girls in the world got used to the machinery.

Club Party Planned—A - New Year's Eve party for 200 persons is | planned for members of the Lake Shore Country Club at the clubhouse, according to Fred Goebes, president, and W. A. Meade, manager. Dinner is to be served from 8 p. m. to midnight. !
