Louise Fazenda Gains Laurels in 'Wonder Bar9 Stars of "Wonder Bar' musical film at Warner Brothers Hollywood and Downtown theaters, may top Louise Fazenda In billing, but she holds her own with them In fine performance, according to many who have seen the picture. Miss Fazenda, although now an actress of the first magnitude, began her screen career simply enough. In fact, there were many times, years ago, when she was glad to get a $3.50 call, It Is said.

The commedlenne's first "break" came while she was working as an extra In a ballroom dress set. An assistant director asked who could play a black-face mammy. Louise could, and did. That bit part was her first stepping-stone. "Wonder Bar" is based on the European stage play of the same name.

Included in its cast are Al Jolson, Kay Francis, Dick Powell, Dolores Del Rio, RIcardo Cortez, Hal LeRoy, Hugh Herbert, Ruth Donnelly, Robert Barrat and Henry O'Neill.

Miss Pepper was one of the show girls brought out for "Roman Scandals" and remained under contract. "Our Daily Bread" is to be a picture that will fulfil Vidor's own per-tonal ideals, for once. MARY PICKFORD EXPECTED SHORTLY Mary Pickford is returning to Hollywood about April J.

The only reason why she is staying on in. New Vork now is to give consideration to a stage play or two, but it is becoming more and more unlikely that she will remain to do this now. A personal appearance chore awaits her In Washington, but it Is doubt COMEDY ASSURED IN NEW FEATURE Plenty of the uproarious sort of comedy ought to be assured in "Down to Their Last Yacht," what with Mary Boland and Polly Moran both assigned to this feature. And by the way, possibly that has the Joan Crawford's philanthropy, George O'Brien's father was the late Daniel J. O'Brien, for years Chief of Police of San Francisco and later California's director of penology and until his recent death one of the most popular men In public life on the west coast.

After his death, his will revealed that throughout George's successful screen career, the father had been constantly "borrowing" money. However, not one cent of this money did Chief O'Brien use for himself. All of it went into trust funds for his aoa which were revealed only after his death. Thanks to his father's unlqn method, George O'Brien is assured of lifelong financial independence. Steptn Fetchit, bad boy of Hollywood, is again nearlng the plnnacl of comedy fame.

WallLs Clark, playing that grand old scoundrel, the Doctor, revealed a tendency toward theatricalism which soon steadied to a finely wrought portrayal, which brought him the tribute of spontaneous applause from the audience at the end of his touching scene with Langford. As Langford, the young English idealist, Allen Connor played with fine poise and a repressed emotionalism which made the part entirely human and believable. Gerald Rogers gave a finely imaginative picture of the neurotic Ashley, broken by the tropics.

As the wily little barbarian Ton-deleyo, who holds these well-born Englishmen in the hollow of her small brown hand, through weapons of sex, Nadja was a naughtily avaricious little minx. She brought allure and a naive charm together with a very knowing sensuoslty and piquancy to the part. Also she looked quite the voluptuous bronze maiden in person. Montague Shaw brought fine perspectives as Roberts from the mission and others who contributed excellent characterizations were Ben Taggart. Charles Bennett and Norman Alnsley.

1 Despite that this opus is perhaps the original instigator of the inundation of plays of tropical persuasions, it is not concocted after the prevailing theatrical nostrums, but rather eschews artifice in order to set forth a pithy drama, which after ten years proves to be quite as good theater as the day it was written. It is the eternal wrestle of the white man, in a hateful environment, with nature. The terrific heat with its d2vastatlng monotony somehow disrupts the highly organized nervous system. Indeed nature would seem the deus ex machina which tears aside the white man's arrogances, to proclaim him the pawn of an inexorable fate. Naturally the play is accomplished at high tension, with the characters worn down, almost on the edge of collapse and even a bit hysterical at times, ths thing Is thoroughly English in feeling inasmuch as it reflects that of purpose which is after all the intrinsic habit of the pure Anslo Saxon.

Langford, the man fresh from England, fine, clean and idealistic, cannot accept the false currencies of the. East, yet finally succumbs to the degeneration and demoralization generally inflicted by these very tropics. The conditions as proclaimed in the play were very generally prevalent on the West Ccast of Africa and are still common in more remote local's. It was too a more or less established custom with the English, this sending any derelict of the medical profession to these outposts of civilisation, providing they were able to show proper medical certificates. The play was admirably produced and the company gave a splendidly integrated performance.
