" Where Is Back?

IT HAS BEEN conceded by all those present that vaudeville is back, but where. is back? ‘The vaudeville of yesteryear was great entertainment in the infancy of cinema, But it died when cinema grew up. Now, it’s back. Back to what it -was when the movies

killed it? - It looks that way.

In its revival over at Keith's, vaudeville is the same today as it

was 15 years ago when it folded up. It offers the same line of acrobatic, dance, comedy, trampoline and instrumental acts. The Youtine is seldom varied.

Are these acts any good? Yes, if you like vaudeville. They are excellent in their line. But there is always that qualification—if you like vaudeville. There is a corps of loyal fans who do. But

it seems that old time vaudeville

isn’t the mass entertainment it

YOUR WORD IS

It vaudeville is to survive on it’s second wind, it seems obvious that

it must alter its form while preserving its particular ‘charm of live talent. Certainly it must pro--

gress beyond what it used to be,

for that apparently wasn’t good |

enough to keep it going. One ° direction vaudeville can’ take was demonstrated at Keith's last week when Horace MacMahon, the movie actor, unified the show by pooling talent from several acts. That broke up the deadness of the routine vaudeville series: act 1, acrobats; act 2, jugglers, etc. This week's show at Keith's lapses into the old routine. “Hank, the Mule” presents Tex Morrissey enveloped in an artificial mule skin with her daughter Ann directing operations as Tex climbs over the customers in the second TOW. There follows Will Morris and. Bobby, former circus clowns, who clown around with circus antics, There follows Jean, Jack and Judy, two girls and a boy in an acrobatic knockabout. There follows the five Antelaks, three women, two men, climbing poles balanced on the shoulders of the huskiest Antelak. There follows Don Zelaya, Nica~ raguan painist, who plays a few light classical numbers with a running commentary of satire, The “Four Rollereftes” are another girl roller skating team. There you have it. This is the stuff I saw when I was a kid. It was good to see it back. But week after week, it becomes repetitious. With their vast mass following,

‘the movies can’t afford constant

repetition. Neither can vaudeville. * 8 8

O. W. |. Survey

IN A STUDY of motion picture production since March, the office of war information has expressed its concern over the number of war pictures dealing only with the combat phase. In the opinion of the OWI, the movies are overdoing it. If the movies want to contribute most to the war effort in films, the OWI suggests that. Hollywood deal with war issues, the home front, the production front. The survey shows that most of the war films released since March deal chiefly with spies, saboteurs and fifth column activity. Said the report: “Although the FBI and govern-

ment counter-espionage agencies

have indicated that there has been surprisingly little enemy action of this type, the heavy pre-

C-o-u-g-h! It's Carey

Fills His Lungs With Smoke In* War Picture.

BY FREDERICK C. OTHMAN United Press Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 18. — Harry Carey is back from the wars today, gulping cough medicine. For five weeks Carey, John Gare field, George Tobias and ether actors in Warner Bros. “Air Force” company battled mosquitoes and smoke in the swamps outside of Tampa, Fla. Nature provided the bugs, and the Warners the smoke; they fought the battles of Bataan’ and Wake Island all over again. According to Carey—cough, cough--they did it mostly with smoke and flame. The picture under direction of Howard Hawks is the Saga of the Mary Ann, A B-17 bomber, which was en route to Manila last Dec.

7. What really happened to the

Mary Ann and her crew before they returned home with patches makes the story. A little humdinger, according to Carey.

Stays On Ground

He ought to know. He's been a movie star for more than 30 years. He's played in more than 300 pice tures. When he gets in a good one, he's certain of his facts. Carey plays the master mechanic in charge of the Mary Ann's ground crew. He flies over half of the world in the picture, but you can be dead certain that’s the -old trickeroo. “I never have been‘in the air in my life,” Carey reported. “They wanted me to fly, but I told ’em anything higher off the ground than 17 hands was too high for me.” There was one scene where he had to get in a plane and ride in it while it taxied down the field. Carey thought ‘they were going to double-cross him, but nary a Wheel left the ground. He was grate for that.

Director Hawks said he was surprised and gratified to discover how extremely popular Carey was with the army. Everybody from the general to the sergeant tried to take him to dinner; mostly Carey went with the sergeant.
