SEPTEMBER 4, 1935 20 WEDNESDAY EVENING STAGE AND SCREEN Entertainment For All the Family RADIO PROGRAMS NIGHT CLUBS HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH What to Do, By L. v.iik Rirhard and Tom Brown in "Annapolis Farewell' at the Colonial Friday. THERE'S a possibility that Ethel Barrymore, now on tour in "The Constant Vvife," hailed by many as her best play, will be booked at Hershey. Allentown is already on the schedule. Lenore Ulric is also taking to the road in a play, written especially for her "Portugese Girl." Helen Menken and Judith Anderson will soon be traveling in "The Old Maid," playing one night stands.

N. B. The Hershey management hasn't inkled these possible bookings. We are just supposing. And Hershey does have some road shows already booked.

"Top Hat." which opens there Thursday, grossed $17,000 in one week in Radio City Who said depression. And, by the way, there's a word you're not hearing so much anymore depression. Moiw ar innnirine about the noiocti TVio Cm. Ethel Barrymore, who will soon be on opening of the Majestic. The cru lhe mi ln ConsUnt sades" and "Midsummer Night's Dream" will probably be there in late September or early October Both these films are being roadshowed matinee and evening COENT ON YOUTH" at the State is a gay, well lined, sprightly A bit of film entertainment, adapted from the Broadway play of the same name.

It's exceptionally well cast with Ernest Cossart as 'Flogdell," the butler coming perilously close to stealing the play from the featured stars. Herbert Marshall and Sylvia Sidney. As a matter of fact he does steal the show. That's an honest opinion. Without his skillful interpretation of a gentleman's gentleman, the dialogue would be shall we say monotonous.

Cossart is the leaven in the loaf, easily achieving a laugh with the lift of an eyebrow, a roll of the eye. Every man over forty or nearing that age should see "Accent on Youth." The. man. nearing fifty, gets the girl on the rebound. She didn't care for the strenuous life.

Best shot: Flogdell nonchalantly tripping the irate young husband (Phillip Reed) and answering, "Did YOU trip me" with an unctuous "I sir?" You may recall that Cossart played "Joe Sedley" in "Becky Sharp." This is his first butler assignment in the films. On the stage he has played 150 butler parts, 20 waiters, ten valets. Whenever Ernest Cossart plays a stage butler in New York, footmen and other male domestics desirous of rising to the dizzy heights of "buttling'' buy aisle seats down front. Critics vow that he is two syllables further than the last word in stage butlers. Cossart has played one hundred and fifty butler parts, twenty valets and ten headwaiters, and now plays his first motion picture butler role in Paramount 's "Accent on Youth," at the State Theater.

On Broadway, he created the role in the stage run of that comedy hit. Yet, contends Cossart, his fine airs, stiffness and finesse are all put on. At home, he mixes drinks badly, can never find the silver and burned a hole in his suit the only time he tried to press it. For some reason, any actor who plays butler roles well Is always versatile. Butlers display about the best manners on the stage, Cossart says.

butler in real life fills him with as much awe as does a policeman or a bishop. Only once did Cossart play a comic butler. That was in a play in which he had to act as a hostler impressed into the job at a banquet. lnd he had to hint that he was really a hostler. As he entered the dining room bearing a huge, quivering calfs foot jelly, he called out nervously, "Whoa, there!" That was one of his first roles, a success, and he hasn't been able to dodge butler roles since.

rICTORIA (By LULU): Charles Starrett is one of those grim faced men, who finds time for a bit of love making, in "What Price Crime." It's one of those exciting films with guns popping around "WHAT PRICE CRIME" Allen Grey Charles Starrett Douglas Worthington Madison Sondra Worthington Cherrill Armstrong Charies Deianev Hopkins Jack Muihall Mrs. Worthington Nina Guiibert Peter Crenshaw Roquermore Red Go'rdon Griffith Chief Radchffe John Elliot Donahue Arthur Loft Graham Earl Tree Davis Jack Cowell Arthur Roland Lefty Edwin Argus Battling Brennon Al Baffert Bozonl Monte Carter Watchman Lafe McKee heroine. Charley Starrett's good, too. trained on the stage. Virginia Cherrill is a daintily diminutive actress, just five feet, five inches in height, and weighing hardly 116 pounds.

She was especially selected for the part by director Albert Herman. No merely pretty girl with nothing save good looks to recommend her, could have successfully impersonated Sondra. who passes through such a variety of emotional situations, that the role demanded the possession of genuine dramatic talent. But, speaking slangily, director Herman knew that Miss Cherrill could "deliver the goods" in that respect, nor was he disappointed. Miss Cherrill was born in Carthage, 111., on April 12, 1908.

and educated at the Starrett finishing School, Chicago. Her dramatic talent was in nentea, as ner lather was a actor. Virginia nrsi came into picture prominence by her brilliant work when siiei as leading lady with Charlie Chaplin in "City Her performance in this film resulted in a contract with Fox. Among the films in which she has appeared in prominent roles, are MGM's "The Nuisance," Fox's "Charlie Chan's Greatest Case," "Fast Workers," "Ladies Must Love," "He Couldn't Take It." Bill Green ships this In from New York: Our Russian Relations Rublnoff says that this note sending business between the U. S.

and Russia relations, to be done with auout dis," the radio maestro says, clan relations now?" See and Hear U. K. Cromwell. Benny Baker, John Howard almost every corner. Spurts of flame through darting shadows Bullets of revenge killing traitors to gangsters' codes Recklessly brave men, the Government men.

backed by the Department of Justice, hazarding their lives on a single throw of Fate's dice Then the tender flowers of love blooming in a garden of Romance that flourishes under the frown of death. ooh! This film's exciting. Perhaps I'd better tell you some thing about Virginia Cherrill, the I hear all these actors have been well known and highly popular his assistance.
