'The Bishop Misbehaves' Amusing Mystery Comedy, Carlton Miles Observes Walter Connolly Plays Leading Role on Stage With Sauvity to Which Movie Fans Are Accustomed-Butler Hixon, Minneapolis Actor, to Create Leading Role in New Play Other News of Former Minneapolis Favorites By CARLTON MILES Written Exclusively for The Star New Tork, April 11.

"The Bishop Misbehaves," one of Broadway's current hits, is a gently amusing frolic mingled in equal proportions. Written in which comedy and mystery are by Fred Jackson, who turned out numerous farce-comedies in other days, ftnd produced by John Golden with Walter Connolly and Jane Wyatt in the Chief roles, it provides an amusing evening with plausibility not strained too greatly and with fairly good use of coincidence. A middle-aged bishop, and his sister enter an out of way inn only to find that two travelers of wealth and the barman have been gagged and tied by robbers. The bishop is an amateur detective on his own and by questioning and exploration he evolves a little theory of his own and also discovers the hiding place of the pearl necklace which has been taken from the woman of the party. He carries it off to his residence while leaving his card in the vase where he discovered it, cartain that the robbers will turn up sooner or later.

For the purposes of dramatic effect they turn up sooner and take the bishop and his Sister prisoner, not greatly to the dismay of either. iVarious Groups Are Hennepin V.F.W.

The story is that of a young musi cian, poor and unknown, who is befriended by a lovely girl, Emmie (Helen Chandler) who inspires his songs, loves him and lets him go. In dramatic contrast to this at titude is the demanding and arro gant love which the musician arouses in the Countess Caroline (Marta Eg-gert), whose glorious soprano voice is a perfect instrument for interpreting Schubert's music. 2 Minneapolitans Win Art Students' Awards Two Minneapolis men were among four from Minnesota awarded scholarships by the Art Students' League of New York.

Noted Songwriter Gets Wrong Start on Picture By JESSIE HENDERSON Hollywood Corrwpondent ot The Star Hollywood, April 11. When Irving Berlin landed here to do the score for a screen musical, he brought along 10 songs he had already writ ten for it.

And discarded all of them. Story conferences convinced the composer that he needed a new slant on screen requirements. He has written practically another whole set of music and lyrics, which he said today he hoped would possess hit qualities. "That doesn't mean," he added, "that they will be hits. Hit songs cannot he turned on like a stream of water." Berlin brought with him his own special, personal piano which has what might be called a swinging keyboard.

That Is, he plays in only one key, but by touching a lever can swing the tune into another key. ThiB is why the sound of a piano, now vigorously And now tentatively whanged from octave to octave, floats round his studio lot these days.
