It Is warm, throbbing, with the spirituelles with which they express their emotions, it is human and vivid with the essence of their souls. A huge afl-colored cast enacts the incidents of the Old Testament. As a programme note explains, these folk accept the Old Testament as a chronicle of wonders whioh happened to people like themselves.

Harrison's strong voice and simple and dignified bearing make him seem ideally suited for this role of the personal Jehovah of a races dreams in which the commonplaces of existence are the material- of which their imaginings are woven.

There is nothing maudlin, noth Ing stagey, nothing forced in the production. Moments are not diawn beyond their dramatic effectiveness. 'Emotions are not overstressed. Stage time is not taken by the spirituelles, but these are sung while the numerous scene changes are made. It Is all exceptionally keen showmanship, fit to stand beside the exceptional entertainment ma terlal which has been assembled.

A production like this should run Indefinitely. A subscription list like the Theatre Guilds behind it would Insure that it would do so. If The Green Pastures (and It probably will) endures long enough for word-of-mouth promotion of it to be effective, the city will have a rare treat for a long time to come. DAME ELLEN TERRY In memory of Dame Ellen Terry, considered by many the greatest actress of all time, who would have been elghty-two years of age today, Beatrice Terry, her niece, now playing In Nancys Private Affair at the Hudson Theatre, Manhattan, and members of the company will bow their heads in prayer in honor of her memory for one minute before the curtain rises to-night. ADVERTISEMENT STOMACH UPSET Slightly Scarlet, Men Without Women and Lilies of the Field To-morrows Offerings By BURKE HENRY Some years ago this department was present at the premiere of Abies Irish Rose (the film), at which time Charles (Buddy) Rogers made a happy personal appearance with Nancy Carroll.

The lads popu larity has not diminished in the slightest, as is attested by the blocking of traffic when he is seen on the streets. To-morrow he is to be on the stage of the Paramount Theatre here in connection with an elaborate revue. Rogers and Rudy Vallee are to Conduct the orchestra and exchange experiences. An indication of the Importance of the event is the an nauncement that there will be five stage shows each day during the current engagement with a special midnight show Saturday. Apparently, the key to the Paramount Theatre has been thrown away.

The picture and other programmes are as follows: SLIGHTLY SCARLET, with Brook and Evelyn Brent, and Clive Paul Ames are in the supporting cast. Vilma Banky has the part of a waitress in a San Francisco restaurant. She accepts a proposal of marriage from a farmer she has never seen. Once married, TO' mance in the person of another man enters her life. The story is concerned with the working out of the problem.

Color Rhythm Is the name of the stage show which will bring Dave Schooler back to the Capitol as master of ceremonies. Yasha Gerald Oliver Smith is Many Rolei 1 Gerald Oliver Smith, who plays an Important comedy role in B. Kaye's farce, I Want My Wife, which Murray Phillips Is sponsoring at the Majestic Theatre next week, is no novice of the footlights. He began In England, where he was born, and made his first appearance In London as a music hall singer. When the London Gaiety Company decided to Import their hit, "To-nights the Night," to American soil, they brought along Smith to supply the comedy portion.

Since then his business has been largely that of supplying laughter, and in that capacity he appeared in "It Pays to Advertize, "Under Sentence, The Morris Dance, The Love Mike, Eileen, "The Kiss Burglar, "The Squab Farm, Blue Pearl, Let Tommy Do It Seven Miles to Arden, Wait Til Were Married, "Mike "The Whole Towns Talking, Lady Be Good" and "Die Patsy. He has been In many films in addition to Ilia dramatic plays, and he has played In comedies with Billie Burke, Valeska Suratt, Mabel Nor-mand and Evelyn Greeley. Mr. Smiths new part is that of a psychotheorist. Vaudeville Recent developments seem to Indicate, if they do not prove, that vaudeville meaning diversified stage entertainment has become an ingrained national habit with the American people.

Sociologists would call It a folk habit, or, maybe, a radical tendency and preferment. The sudden onrush of silent motion pictures, the radio and the sound films brought a more or less general fear that the doom of vaudeville had come. For a time the amusement seeking masses turned to the film cathedrals and there were lean days for "straight vaudeville. Then the silent pictures experienced a time of distress-neglect. Personal appearanres a la vaudeville became a hopeful experiment Then came the complete reorganization, rejuvenation and expansion of vaudeville with not only pictures, but talking, singing and color pictures.

In towns and neighborhoods where vaudeville has been temporarily suspended, or where an attempt has been made to supersede it with complete picture-sound shows, there is inavriably a renewal of interest in, and demand for, straight vaudeville. The major circuit has discovered the way to find out how deeply rooted is the vaudeville devotion of any American community, Is to take it away. They like their talkies, but oh you vaudeville! There is a national thirst for vaudeville with or without pictures. B. U.
