Alison Skipworth Tearned About Women:" Sat-Mitzi Green in "Little Orphan BY BURNS MANTLE NEW YORK leb 1S--It is fun writing of belated successes in the theater I give you Natalie Hays Hammond daughter of the late John Hays Hammond who has just shared in a success that is decidedly to her credit With Alice Laughlin Miss Hammond has produced six medieval miracle plays and staged them with such arresting beauty in costume that she designed and settiugs which Miss Laughlin designed that they have caused a good deal of talk Martha Graham and her dance pupils contributed the mimes and the action and narrators read the text at the side of the stage Miss Hammond's adventure is chiefly interesting however because of the length of time she has been waiting for it She developed a love of the theater in school but all activities in theatricals were immediately sat upon by her father Art as Compromise When she was through school she gained her father's permission to study art in New York by way of compromise- In New York she ran away from art far enough to meet Mrs Fiske join her company and rehearse a part Father forced a breach of contract with Mrs Fiske and substituted a course in painting and costume designing to quiet his angered daughter She has kept at this for the last several years and has recently had her plan for a Greek theater accepted by the directors of the Chicago exposition Now with Miss Laughlin Miss Hammond has organized the stage alliance Together they hope to bring forward numerous plays representing various periods in the dramas history Their stylized miracle plays are the first of the series and make up in beauty what they may miss in the simple spirit of the early plays BY MARK BARRON NEW YORK Feb George White has produced a show that lures not a the big news on Broadway today This dapper diminutive manager who made a fortune presenting scantily-clothed beauties in his "Scandals'" now is offering an operetta "Melody" which hasn't a single risque moment "Melody" is one show which deserves the adjectives "stupendous" and "colossal" Its east boasts nearly a dozen singers who have worn the accolade of stardom and they are supported by half a hundred of White's choicest blonds brunets and redheads The plot of the musical efilleCrilS three generations beginning in lsta and ending in 1933 Edward Childs Carpenter has written a rambling romance that includes both Paris and New York in its scenes Sketchily the story begins with Andree a wealthy French girl bidding farewell to her lover an impoverished composer these two roles being given to Evelyn Herbert and Everett Marshall the latter recruited from the Metropolitan Opera The composer goes away to the wars in Africa to die and Andree hopes her unborn son will have his father's musical talents She is disappointed when he proves to be a commercially-minded youngster but there is Andree's granddaughter to become a great musician Miss Herbert performs the difficult task of playing first the young Andree then later the aging mother and in the final scenes she plays the role of her own granddaughter The operetta is embroidered with one of Sigmund Romberg's finest scores especially his "Roll of the Drum" and "I Am the Singer You Are the Song" In addition to Miss Herbert and Marshall the score has th services of such well known singt-rs as Walter Woolf Jeanne Aubert George Houston Milton Douglas Louise Kirtland and Hat Skelly pear with him in "State Fair" now at the Palate They get their share of appbuse hut the Claremore Oh la actor still knows how to

them hastily and it is much Letter to live with the one you have than to fly to another you know practically nothing about except what she tells you 'The play was a little something called "One Wife or Another" The people in it were fearfully high society with fairly low thoughts Written by Percy Shaw one of Mr Hearst's minor executives and Wagney Percyval co-author of "Grumpy" the dialogue was at least snappy and sometimes But the whcyle thingwas fairly messy despite a professional cast headed by the Ernita Laser Iles who once played Eve in "Back to Methuselah" and also wrote a book about the author Bernard Shaw Officials of the Little Theater and Community Playhouse are casting about for a suitable play to open their new quarters a block off "show row" Just what the play is to be will be determined the next few days for rehearsals must begin Ads week if the production is to be properly prepared for the opening date March 20 Director Blanchard McKee and members of the play reading committee are seriously considering two recent Broadway bits "Berkeley Square" and "Springtime for Henry" Both are considered among the most successful of recent plays nnd "Springtime for Henry" would

played leading roles in "Naganal' the featured picture which deals with the scientists fight against the sleeping sickness in Africa The atmosphere of an African jungle is created by the use of alligators lions leopards and other wild animals which stalk through the brush and cause panic when they break out of cages after being captured The picture taxes one's credulity but moves with rapidity and a certain amount of interest especially to those liking thrills adventure and primitive scenes The best parts of the picture are the scenes showing the native dances the witch ceremonies and other tribal customs of the blacks Use of masks and other costume effects are reminiscent of the earliest drama' "Nagana" is one of the tropical pictures made from jungles set down in Hollywood's
