Which Mr. Miller recently present-

fuss at all was made over me in
England, whefe the play has been
running since last November.
Much fuss was made over the ac-
, and over the play itself, and
ccasionally a school friend of
mine would meet me on the street,
slap me on the back, and say, "I
hear you have a play at the Cri-

Even before 1 had actually landed

VOU Americans seem to have an
" idea that anyone who has a
play produced aufomatically quali-
fies as a' medicine'man and a seer,
a person expert enough to diagnose
the world"* ills and then prescribe
for them. That may be true to a
certain extent in this country,
whero your men of the theater
grapple in their plays with prob-
lems of politics, economics, sociolo-
gy, and what have you—but it cer-
tainly does not hold in England.
For the English theater—and I
say this without any shame — is
"escapist" That is, it prefers amus-
ing plays to "problem plays." It
deals in entertainment, not serious
tracts. In England playwrights arc
writing gay, inconsequential pieces
of "theater," and so they are not
regarded as oracles of wisdom, as
is, say, a member of Parliament.
• • •
LfERE you write plays about
• * questions of war and peace,
revolutions, labor troubles, and
hence playwrights are fellows
whose Opinions count. But trou-
ble-spots like Spain and Germany
are three thousand long miles
away from you, and not right next
door as they are to us.

HOLLySt©OD — If Charlie
Chaplin should omit his baggy
trousers from his future film plans
—there's been some talk but noth-
ing definite—he'll have precedent
in personality-changing..
But not much, and in a practical
sense he'd be doing something
never done before. No one so far
advanced in a career, with a
screen character so well establish-
ed as Chaplin's wistful vagabond,
has ever deliberately chucked
that character overboard.
Years ago, Harold Lloyd made
such a change. He didn't always
wear those spectacles. But the
Lloyd career was still in its form-
ative stages when Harold said
goodbye to Lonesome Luke, for-
swore that gentleman's Chaplin-
esque accoutrements, including
mustache, and launched his trem-
ulous, naive, but wholesome be-
spectacled youth.
Even Mary Changed
You might count Mary Pick-
ford's shearing of her curls as a
break from character. It was eight
years ago that Mary suddenl;
"grew up" in films. Alter specia
izing in little girl roles—the same
that Shirley Temple is doing now
—well into her thirties.
Douglas Fairbanks gave up
swashbuckling for a modern film
or two—talking—but never as
successfully. This may have been
due to the natural waning of a
long career more than to the pub-
lic's refhsal to accept the change.
Adolphe Menjou has stepped
out of the niche of masculine
clothes-horse for some ftrst-rate
character performances, includ-
ing comedy.
Myrna Was Siren
William Powell did a startling
change of character, too, but the
change accompanied his rise to
stardom. Once he played villain-
ous rats—in silent films. Then he
switched to bad men with golden
hearts, paving the way for his ac-
cession to a hero's throne.
Myrna Loy is a striking example
of character change. She was the
siren type, remember, the Orien-
tal heavy who lurked in the shad-
ows always ready to snare the
hero. She changed to American
heavies, then was discovered for
smart comedy in which she reach-
ed stardom.
Taking stage stars and revamp-
ing them for movie purposes is
common. Look at comedienne
Gladys George, who now swims
in celluloid tears. Look at dramatic
Stella Ardter, engaged in screen
slapstick. And dramatic Mary Bo-
land, who is a movie comic.
But when Chaplin loses those
>aggy pants and big shoes, I'll look
or Garbo to start throwing pics.
nd I don't expect
iDhe to occur.

Breathlessly arriving at the cafe,
Rufus found that bin sister was In-

floor — not performing a strip-
tease, but dancing the "Twenty-
three Skidoo" with Rid and Jack at
the behest of the crafty Fiorello.
When Letitia, In the midst of her
dance, saw her brother, glaring at
her, her new-found brazen determi-
nation collapsed and so did
Letitia.
Before Rufus could fling his er-
ring sister over his shoulder and
take her home, however, the lights
went low and Benny, leading the
orchestra, signalled for a new num-
ber. And as they played the soft
strains of "1 Still Love to Kiss You
Goodnight," a vision walked out on
the stage Margaret Rondeil wear-
ing a costume that was on exact
replica of the one her mother,
Evelyn Macey, had wore when she
sang the same song in 1 12. Rufua
stopped, listened to Margaret's sing-
ing; then slowly his faee softened
and his eyes filled. Touched to tha
depths of his soul by this reminder
of his beloved Evetyn and of what
she had once been, all his vindictive
bitterness left him and he softly
joined Margaret and Benny in sing-
ing the chorus.

the law shouldered his way through
the assemblage and tapped Adeta
on the shoulder.
"Horry, Indies, but you're under

"Arrest — for what?"
"No cabaret license, ma'am."
And so once more the patrol

to give the sedate Adeia and Letitia
