THE PHILADELPHIA' INQUIRER, MONDAY MORNING, MARCH It, I93S ad Mi Miss Wong Amusement Guide in Philadelphia 1 Bette Davis to Portray Bernhardt on Screen Blonde Star Rewarded for Her Excellent Acting in 'Jezebel1 I i -tV5 ltil We couldn't be happier that Spencer Tracy is getting the breaks. He is now Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's white-haired boy, and ranks with Clark Gable and Robert Taylor in popularity and box office position. The Academy award was no sooner handed Spence than all hands on the M-G-M lot started a discussion on his future pictures. One of them will be "Ten Days in Heaven," the story Gene Towne and Graham Baker are writing for Mer-vln Leroy, and It is similar to "I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang," one of Paul Muni's best pictures. Spence, by the way, was deluged with telegrams congratulating him on his Academy victory.

A line or two: Peter Loire is going to abandon his one-man Japanese Invasion in the "Mr. Moto" series long enough to play the hobo in "I Give a Million" with Warner Baxter. But he will be back "detecting" again ln "The Mysterious Mr. Moto," with Mary Maguire in the lead, as soon as Warner "gives his million." Denis O'Keefe, one of the few extras to come up from the ranks to featured roles (nice work if you can get it), is up for the leading roman-tio role in "A Letter of Introduction," with Andrea Leeds, Edgar Bergen and Adolphe Menjou, Zanuck't Modesty Pleases Filmland Robert Morley, English actor, who is playing Louis in "Marie Antoinette," remains in Hollywood until June. Then he'll make a hurried trip to London before returning to Broadway to do "The Life of Oscar Wilde" on the stage.

Darryl Zanuck made a very favorable Impression With his acceptance speech at the Academy dinner. He said that he never expected to be as good a producer as Irving Thalberg, but tried to do the best he could. His modesty pleased Hollywood, where self-aggrandizement is a common falling. Snapshots of Hollywood collected at random; Virgmia Pine and Wesley Ruggles at the Tropics until the wee small hours, chaperoned by Ruby Deremer, Quentln Reynolds and Buster Murray. While Virginia was dining with Wes, the one-time boy friend, George Raft was stagglng it at the Derby and the fights.

Henry Wilcoxon, out of th hospital, at the fights with the girl friend, Lillian Pertka, before she left to do Y. stage play; Johnny Weiss-muller files to Mexico City to take bows for Lupe Velez when her picture "La Zandunga" opens. WHEN EAST MEETS WEST Anna May Wong and Charlei Bickford, in "Daughter of Shanghai," the Stanton's new picture, which opened there on Dorothy Thompson The Sovereignly of the Lie; How Nazis Explain Coup By Louella 0. Parsons HOLLYWOOD. March 13 -There isn't an actress in the world who wouldn't give her next salary increase to play Sarah Bernhardt on the screen.

The divine Sarah represents what every young actress strives to be. That is why I am sure Bette Davis must be flattered and happy that Jack Warner has ordered Norman Rellly Raine to write the film biography of the great tragedienne, to be called "The Career of Sarah Bernhardt," for her. William Dieterle, who directed "Zola," the 1937 prize winning production, will direct and George Brent is the choice for Edmund Rostand. In selecting the Bernhardt vehicle, Warner said that he had decided Bette was the logical one for the part since her work ln "Jezebel" stamps her as the screen's greatest dramatic actress. So many studios have at various times planned a Bernhardt story without any of them materializing, that it's interesting to hear that the Warner film will follow "Comet Over Broadway" and "Memphis Belle." Jean Arthur Makes Peace With Studio1 One more historic star-producer battle has been settled, and Jean Arthur, after a year's absence from the Columbia Studio, has burled the hatchet and will start all over again with Harry Conn.

We told you a few weeks ago that negotiations were on for her to play the lead ln "You Can't Take It With You," and that she and her husband, Frank Ross, had lunched with Director Frank Capra, but nothing was officially settled until Saturday. Jean is in Yosemite, and in her absence her husband said she was perfectly happy with the settlement, but declined to state the terms of the new agreement. Very sensible of Jean to come back, for she has been away too long now; but with good pictures I have no doubt she will again be right at the top. Virginia Bruce, who has been rumored for so many roles, is finally set for the top spot in "Yellow Jack," which gives verity to all the talk that Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer believes Virginia Is starring material, and will build her more carefully ln the future. Virginia has always been such a good scout, never complaining about her roles, and while she will play her fifth nurse's role ln the Sidney Howard play, it is her best acting opportunity on the home lot.

Henry Hull Sets Important Role Henry Hull also gets his most im portant break in this picture, and here's hoping the studio does Justice to his great acting talent and to the fine reputation he earned on the stage. Bet an those movie guides who point out my house as the "home of Charlie McCarthy" (he lives next door) never thought their mistakes in showing tourists about Hollywood would be glorified ln the movies, But Warners have decided there Is a lot of comedy ln these rubberneck wagon tours and are planning a picture titled "Movie Guide," which will be turned over to Bryan Foy to produce. Trust Bryan to get the laughs cap' italizing on this little enterprise, which has mushroomed the last few years into quite a business. Ronald Reagan will be featured as the guide who dishes out the misinformation. LOCUST TONIGHT at I JO Broad It Locut THE BEST OF GEORGE ABBOTT'S STAGE HITS FunnlMt War Phlla.

Xhs beautiful American-born Chinese actress moves with cool detachment and grace through this wild yarn of smugglers, thinking her own thoughts, we suspect, and doing what the can to lend Interest to a film that is sillier than It Is exciting.

Like Pearl White's "Pauline" of the famous "Perils," Miss Wong comes through her hairbreadth adventures with flying colors. She not only lives to tell tales on the smugglers who callously dump their human contraband Into the sea, but survives a couple of attempts on her own life, revenges the murder of her shopkeeper father and, aided by a Chinese G-man, uncovers the Identity of the mysterious leader of the smuggling ring. The action, moving from San Francisco to the West Indies, where one of the "receiving stations" is located, affords Miss Wong opportunity to wear varied, striking wardrobe and to offer a charming Oriental dance during her masquerade as an entertainer In Charles Blckford's sinister dive, Dignified Support By Philip Ahn All the players, especially "Frosted Yellow Willows" translation of Wong Liu Tsong, Miss Wong's actual name are vastly superior to the ten, twent', thirf material pf Gladys Un-ger's and Garnett Weston's screenplay, or Robert Florey'i old-fashlon-td direction. Philip Ahn supplies dignified sup port as the resourceful Federal agent who not only saves the life of the slim heroine, but wins her heart. Among those involved in the unsavory business of sneaking aliens Into the United States through Uncle Sam's back door at a fancy price are J.

Carrol Nalsh, Larry Crabbe, Anthony Qulnn, Fred Kohler and, of course, Charles Blckford. Cecil Cunningham turns out to be worse than the rest. She, It Isn't giving away my secret to mention, Is the big, bad racket chief. Musical Portraits Of Hollywood's Famed Retta TintH lan'f. a.

She Is a bit of music entitled "Dark Moorish Castles," played, for the most part, by an oboe, Crisafulli, you see, thinks of people terms of music. That's his Job, for at the moment he Is writing a series of musical portraits to be presented in the Hollywood Bowl next lummer. The Bowl patrons will hear Miss Darts, Henry Fonda, Lily Pons, Edward G. Robinson, Errol Flynn and many others played by an orchestra. According to Crisafulli, Director William Wyler is a sonata that has its theme a quiet, persuasive Jwlody with broad harmonic structure, and with the woodwinds doing most of the work.

Reduced to music, George Brent an agitated movement In four-jour time, played by clarinets and ranch horns. Kay Francis Is a harp Fay Balnter, a fugue written for and Henry Fonda, a slow, half-mature melody played i a bassoon. Ai for Paul Muni, Crisafulli says fe entire symphony throbbing resounding climaxes and settling Ti to sombre decrescendos. The composer is doing his best, but he "tnits that Tchaikovski alone could ave done Muni Justice.

The only chaos in Austria in years has been caused by the Nazis. And the "rescue" consists of putting the rioters in power by force of arms.

ESTABLISHING 'CALM Schuschnlgg's plebiscite, according to the official Nazi barkers, was "unconstitutional," a profoundly comic observation from a regime whose leader swore allegiance in 1933 to the Constitution of Weimar and then proceeded to abolish it, So now the Nazis are going to have a "fair" plebiscite by implication, "constitutional" and establish, nay, guarantee calm ln Austria. There will be calm, all right, except, perhaps, for a little while, in the Jewish quarters of the cities. But it doesn't take much terror to estab llsh "calm," and concentration camps win do a great deal. If only we could be spared the piety I AS FOR CHAMBERLAIN The Immediate effect of the Austrian coup d'etat is to end all hope in England of the possibility of negotiations with the Nazis. Unless Mr.

Chamberlain is able to come to a quick agreement with Mussolini possible because Hitler has put himself as well as these democracies on the spot and the Rome-Berlin axis is extremely wabbly Chamberlaln-ism will be as dead as Austrian freedom ln a very short time. Although it is reckless to prophesy what the Nazis may do next, I believe that the Austrian victory will keep Hitler quiet for some time. He will get from Austria iron ore, cattle and lumber, all of which he needs and which he can now pay for with paper marks Instead of with stable Austrian schillings.

SlroHorrf, GmbtllWonomabf'l Mtn'l Stora IT. lOar-MAIl OlOKIaaajBH MAIN TICKET OFFICE SOUTHEAST Perhana the most contemptible phase of the rape of Austria is the German Nazi Government's official explanation of it. The world has been treated to a display of brute force, which Is en tirely ln harmony with the Nazi Weltanschauung. Exactly what has happened has been predicted for years by Independent students and reporters of National Socialism. The whole program could have been charted by any one of us.

And that the procedure should be bolstered by egregious lies might also have been predicted. Still, the leaders of the Third Reich evidently believe there is no limit to the credulity of the human race. They would paraphrase Hamlet to read: "There's nothing either true or false, but saying makes It so." in the tragio moment of his down fall, Chancellor Schuschnigg must have had only one spiritual satisfaction: the satisfaction of telling the German Nazi leaders that they were liars. t. JUSTIFICATION BY WORDS i I suppose that The Lie is itself a perverted tribute to some battered remnant of etchlcal sensibility still alive in the human race after twenty-four years of war, revolution, in ternational betrayals and class strife.

By it, some attempt is made to bring political conduct into the appearance of harmony with certain moral ideas which have, at least, engaged the admiration and lip service of people tor centuries. Every coup d'etat seeks to prove that it Is "legal." Since there Is still some small prejudice against murder, a new word is coined, and political enemies are "liquidated." In deference to ideals of justice which still exist as vague Ideals, men and women are not thrown into prison without indictments or trials, on the mere denunciation of spies, but are "protected" by such arrest. Every brutal snatch of power is committed In behalf of the "national" or "general" welfare. And every abuse of human rights that can Justify itself by claiming to represent "the majority" thinks by this claim to add sanctity to power. TWO ULTIMATUMS The Austrian story is very simple.

It Is the story of two ultimatums backed up by armed force. The ultimatum of Berchtesgaden, of February 12, and the ultimatum of Berlin, of March 11. On February 12 Hitler "persuaded" Schuschnigg to put some Nazis into his Cabinet, hoping to repeat in Austria the history of the Nazi revolution In Germany, which began in the same way. But Schuschnigg had one advantage which German democrats did not have ln 1033. He, himself, had an authoritarian government, and he had seen the process ln Germany; he had a blue print of the technique.

He kept the exact letter of his shotgun agreement with Hitler, and thus practised a form of sabotage known to trade unionists; of following the rules and regulations so meticulously that work is stymied. And he took a leaf out of Hitler's own book, and called for a vote of confidence by plebiscite, which was to have been held Sunday. FORCE BACKS THREATS Since Hitler's agents Informed him that the plebiscite would unquestionably support Schuschnigg, Hitler offered another ultimatum: Call off the plebiscite and resign, or you will be invaded. Both threats were backed up by a mobilization of German troops on the Austrian frontier, and there was final realization in Vienna that refusal would mean armed conquest, by forces outnumbering the Austrian ten to one, even if Austria were not already divided by revolution fomented by Nazi agents.
