And Whoopee, the Zlegfeld musical show made into a revue suitable Jor motion pictufe houses are the two exceedingly entertaining attractions at the Keith Theatre this week. Perhaps Whoopee will prove the greater box-office draw, for the production is quite as spectacular and elaborately staged as was the original show under Zlegfeld, and Bobbe Arnst attractive little brunette dancer and comedienne has the leading feminine role.

Bobbe Arnst, familiar to musical show patrons, is best known to film fans as the divorced wife of Johnny Weismuller, the Tarzan of the screen. Bobbe has piquant personality, a slender, charming little fig-, ure and a bright, appealing smile. She takes the role of the sheriffs sweetheart, who elopes with the comedian hero, Henry. Eddie Cantor played the stellar role of, Henry, hypochondrlao who goes West to die, when the original production'' was presented by the late Mr Zlegfeld. Eddie isnt the star of the present revue, but he staged it, coached it, and gave pointers to Buddy Hoyle, the 'man who does portray the part.

And it was Buddy who understudied Cantor in the first production. Therefore it is not surprising that every bit of humor goes over big, and that none of the lines miss fire. Other members of the highly effective cast are Jane Lee, of the famous Lee Kids team; Pietro Gentill, John Rutherford and Carter HeHaven. There have been few musical revues adapted for motion picture house Attractions that can vie in any way with this beautifully mounted production. The costumes are lovely, the ensemble scenes are spectacular and the reVue moves with dash and verve.

The finale is especially reminiscent of the original Whoopee. Beautiful girls, wearing Indian costumes of variegated colors, ride on the stage and are grouped back of the principals. Then the heroic Henry enters, riding a donkey, and takes the centre of the scene. "Parole Girl is a simple story, not particularly credible, but enlivened by the acting of that beautiful and intelligent star, Mae Clark. Ralph Bellamy, who plays opposite her, brings humor and common Bense to a part that might easily be silly.

The story is chiefly interesting because it shows how department stores are I victimized by clever racketeers. HalJ Hamilton takes the role of an affable crook, who demands that Sylvia aid him in his schemes to prove her gratitude for past favors to her father. The man member of the team goes into a department store and shouts that the woman, whom he pretends he does not know, has stolen his wallet. When store detectives accuse her of stealing she weeps and refuses to be Then, at the right moment, the man finds he has only mislaid his wallet, and slips out of the store. The woman insists she will sue the store for false Naturally the store managers are worried and end by making out a check to the angry, and respectable housewife.

Sent to prison for this offence, the heroine of Parole Girl, promises herself to make the manager of the store suffer for her Jail record. She uses the methods of a crook, but finally marries the store manager, when he is so intoxicated he doesnt know what he is doing. Then she buys expensive clothes and generally causes him to pay for his past misdeeds. A previous marriage makes him think he has committed bigamy. But she finally falls in love with her victim, and theres a real marriage before the picture ends.

Ferdinand Gottschalk Is especially good in the picture as, the owner of the store, and furnishes most of the comedy. Naturally there are several incidents most embarrassing for the husband in name only, especially when the sentimental owner wants to see the husband and wife bill and coo.

He was Alfred Hunt. I I Dont Want to Be Star The closing night of Clarence rolled around. It, was Wednesday night, and everybody knew, too, that Helen was soon to become a star. As the final curtain descended, the players, as -was customary, paused on the stage to chat a moment. This was the awaited cue.

The handsome Hunt dropped to one knee, caught up Helens hand, and bore it to his lips. He did this gracefully in spite of the fact that he was holding one hand behind him. Then he arose and began a speech: My dear little Miss Helen, he said, we are gathered here He never advanced beyond that point. The astonished Helen had seen something in Hunts hand, and, being excited, curious, bubbling and 18, she peered around the Hunt left side, and saw what he held in bis hand. It was a tiny cup with the names of the company engraved inside, and on the crest, in beautiful old English letters, was the expression that Helen recited so often in the play: Clarence.

This was too much. It signified the ending of a beautiful comraderie, a parting of friends; Helen howled. I dont want to be a star, wailed the little 18-year-old ingenue. I want to go on playing Clarence all my life. Suzanne Westford.

When a motion picture executive was asked recently what Job he 'considered the xnoet difficult around the lot, he replied, unhesitatingly, The cameramans. He Is responsible to everybody If anything goes wrong. ETHEL BARRtMORE Persons not familiar with studio routine may not realize the obstacles which the cameraman has to meet and overcome. Not only must he answer Involved technical questions and make the most of all lighting effects, but he must be individually re sponsible for much of the merit (or demerit) of the sequences photographed. If he does not produce good results, criticism descends on him in a barrage from all directions.

A recent example -of unusual camera engineering occurred in the filming of Rasputin and the Empress at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios. Ethel Barrymore, as the Czarina, was seated on a throne in a reception hall more than a block long, with a procession of court officials and nobility standing along the pillared walls. The task was to show the Imposing throng. Miss Barrymore on the throne in the background and a running shot ef the courtiers faces. Three cameras were employed, cne focussed on the throne, another covering the assemblage and the third mounted on a moving platform so that it might advance with the procession.

As the second camera reached the direct line of focua on nobles and ladies, the film was stopped while the procession camera carried on up to the steps of the throne.

DUMB-BELLS YOU WOULDN'T MAlWf A.MM eccAVGe 16 A GOOD DANGER ort.ND, JACK IS CLEVER AT "TOOl n8M I i( NEIGHBORHOOD THEATRES Supt of Schools Patrick T.

Camp bell, la a radio address last night, ex pressed the belief that th Americas people will not approve of any pollcj which threatene the education structure which hae been built up through three centuries. The Boston schools head spoke from Station WEEI over a nation-wide hookup In a program given under the auspices of the National Education Association, which is conducting a series of broadcasts on Our American Schools. He decried attempts of organized minorities to usurp the powers of school boards and committees responsible to the people. Supt Campbell reminded the business executive who, after effecting drastic retrenchments in bis business, queries why the schools cant do likewise, that the business man has because there la no demand for hie output, while tbe demands upon tho schools have Increased A hundredfold. Recent surveys by eminent citizens have shown that the schools are well organized, and efficiently managedi and no one has ever hinted the slight- est suspicion that the money appropriated-for school purposes was not well spent, be declared.

Boards Represent People He continued, in part: School Boards -and Committees Are tbe representatives of tbe people, responsible to the people fpr the conduct of their schools. We believe that the people of the United States, however hard pressed, will not allow organized minorities, whatever their financial support, to usurp the powers of these representatives and to dictate what shall be taught in the publla and what reductions shall be made in school budgets. In view of their services in the past, the school authorities have the right to expect that retrenchment shall be made only when absolute necessity has been proved, and then shall be made by those who are in sympathy with the purposes and ideals of education, who have a real knowledge of the problems by intimate contact with the publio Whatever the outcome, if the people are led or forced to limit or to withhold altogether appropriations for pub-llo education, the school teachers will not be false to their vows, he declared, and will follow the glorious example set by their fellow craftsmen In Chicago, that the children of this generation may not be denied their birthright. Supt Campbell pointed out that to meet the complexity of the demands made on the schools of today, the modern methods and modern programs havs been developed which have given rise to the thoughtless outcry against fads and frills. Old Order Wasteful These new programs, he said, should no more be discarded in education than should tho inventions and discoveries of the last 20 ysars be scrapped' in Industry end business.

The old order of education, which treated all the puplla if all were cast in the same mold, was very wasteful. A large share of th pu- pils who came under the instruction of a teacher refused to accept th teachings, or to profit by th opportunities presented by the school. Th pupils who did not fit the conventional mold were forced out of school, or dragged a weary way, without profit, to a so-called graduation. No bualnesa organization would tolerate methods like these programs which showed a constant loss and inordinate expenditure for th results obtained, he charged, explaining that the modern school program has recognized the differing abilities, interests, and aspirations of the pupils, and by offering training fitted to their individual needs, has sought to prepare them to meet the bewildering del mands of our complex social organization. He added that this program has resulted in unprecedented growth in the' upper grades during ths last two decades.

Can it be that, blinded by th pressing needs of the moment, shall attack our own democracy at the root, and by crippling the echools fall to train the youth of today to maintain th Ideals which have guided our people in th past?

This made it necessary for cameramen to work out a midget tripod. Cameras were mounted on this low aupport eo that scenes could be taken in the engine room, torpedo room, and even the tiny kitchen of the submarine. To obtain the visual effect of the sub plunging under the wavee a series, of weight, were hung on a hinged base so that the lens was kept level during the rolling and dipping of the craft. Speedboats, traveling 80 miles an hour and more, were needed for Fast Life, motor boat racing thrjller, in which William Haines, accompanied by Madge Evans and Cliff Edwards, piloted the winning boat. A special bull was constructed to carry generators and lights, with cameras mounted on the prow and on a framework over the side.

As Haines sped by in trial runs the camera boat showed him at the wheel with mountainous spray flying from the bow. Notes ef the Play ere Three daughters of famous persons are in the cast of Bondage.

Old Hutch was having Its premiere at the old Herald Square Theatre, at Broadway and 35th et, and the future star of Madelon Claudet and The White Sister was just about to make her New Tork debut. The persistent ones, no whit dismayed at their inability to get the theatre, held on until success prevailed, only to he told that not a single solitary seat was to be had.

On that night Broadway was by way of earning its name, and no city has ever had such an array of attractions at one time as were current then. Yet, in spite of the fierce competition, the theatre was packed to the gills. The Drama says of Helen's appearance in Old Hutch. Helen Hayes was what the press agents choose to call a protege of Lew Fields, and like all true proteges Miss Hayes had come to New York to test the veracity of Mr Fields lavish promises. Thus 6he found her way into Old Hutch along with Vernon Castle, John Sunny, Charles Judels, Eva Davenport and John E.

Henshaw. Miss Hayes had already tripped by hef ninth birthday and was a veteran of one announced retirement. The next day she did not get so much as a paragraph from the aroused reviewers, but she was entranced by the borderlight characters of the lean and dapper Castle, and by the spluttering accent of the jocose Judels. Blew Amazing Smoke Rings The engaging Castle had Indeed made an impression on our Helen. He was the best playmate I had, is the way she describes it.

This wonder-man blew amazing rings, balanced tin cans on his chin, caused silver quarters to disappear through the palm of his hand and extracted jack-knives with the greatest of ase from the ears of his fellow-actors. In addition to these, he recited poetry by the yard and, in fact, did everything but stand on his head. Here was a champion to conjure. It must be remembered that Helen was then 9 years old, and thus entertained, it is doubtful if she realized the Importance of critics. Certainly she seemed no whit dismayed when the next day reviews failed to mention her.

Five years later, however, she was most thrllllngly aware of them, be' cause the critical gentry was enveloping her in a poetic blanket of whimsicais and fancifuls and caprici-ouses and cutes. Later, when she was in. Barries Hear Brutus, with William Gillette, the whimsies began to bubble and boil. Her engagements in the Tarklngton cycle, Penrod Clarence and The Wren, did not tend to reduce the temperature of the big adjective and analogy men this from The Drama. First Name Triumph Now comes her first Jiumph, imriie old theatre known as The Park.

Edward Childs Carpenter had written his famous comedy; Bab, and its premiere in October, 1920, bore a double significance. It was the beginning of one of the most successful plays that has ever captured New York, and it was the first play that presented Helen Hayes as a featured player. year previous to this an attache of George C. Tylers offices had been smart enough to read the handwriting on the wall and could tell that stardom fov Helen was in the cards. At the request of Robinson Locke, who was the critic on the Toledo Blade, he forwarded some portraits of Helen, and when that young man wrote back in a burst of the wildest enthusiasm, he responded with a reply that wae prophetic in the extreme.

Dear Mr Locke, he wrote, I am glad you are pleased with Helen's portrait. You spread yourself on her with safety. Her career is as sure as old wheat in the mill.
