Speed Death Bed Scenes in

Fast Talkies By VAL LEWTON

Death comes on Bwlfter feet to the' new school of cinema actors. The old method of histrlonl<r~dying h as gone out of style. A newer, faster death rate has come to pic­tures. ^Nowadays a pistol oracks and the villain drops. A few years ago the pistol cracked, the villain squirmed, writhed, clutched at -his wounds and lived long enough to render an oration worthy of the Senate.

The authority on death at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios is Clark Gable. Gable has been killed off in almost every picture in which he has appeared. Gable said:

"Dying, like living, on the screen, has become more natural and life­like with the progress of the talk­ing picture. Dying people dp not make death-bed confessions, plead remorse and beg' forgiveness .in speeches which are many pages long. If you're dying, you're dying and it's just too bad because you haven't got wind enough for all that flap-doodle."

As lor the feminine angle on death, listen to Jean Parker, who "died"" so beautifully in "Little Women," say:

"I only die the way I am told to die by the director, but directors seem to have a more realistic Blant on death. Long death-bed scenes have been found unacceptable to the public taste. There is some­thing gruesome and morbid about a person who is willing to watch an actor die for hours. It's only In opera that death-bed scenes can be protracted for hours, We can't get away with it in movies. People are too critical; they demand realism."

_ *—+ ——

Chance Pose CausesFuror

Being named Sally has Its advan­tages and its disadvantages, accord­ing to Sally Blane, who has the lead­ing feminine role opposite Lee Tracy in a 20th century current picture, "Advlco to the Lovelorn."

It seems that some months ago, Miss Blanc chanced to have herself photographed in a striking pose, holdinga. couple of large, decorative fans. The picture had no sooner ap­peared in a number of periodicals than Sally was deluged with letters of protest because the public—fre­quently guilty of Bnap judgment -had confused her with Sally Rand, who ot that moment had gotten her-aelf involved In a court feud over the sensational fance dance she was do­ing at the world's fair 1n_Chicago.

Sally saya it's all very! well to say

Albany Woman In Concert Here Mrs. Eva Naffzlger, contralto, of

Albany, will be the assisting artist at the recital tomorrow afternoon by Dr. Elmer A. Tldmarsh, director of musio at Union College, in the college Memorial Chapel at 4 o'clock. Dr. Tldmarsh will give an organ recital of some of the out­standing works of Franz Schubert.

Mrs. Naffzlger will sing "Thou Art Repose", "Who Is Sylvia", and Hedgoroses".

Numbers to be played by Dr. Tid-marah are "Serenade", and the "Un* finished Symphony". Why this symphony, started in 1822, was never finished, is one of the great mysteries of music history. In It Schubert exhibits a style all hia own, and full of that strangely direct appeal to the hearer, which is Schubert's chief characteristic.

In the absence of Dr. Tldmarsh next Sunday Walter Angell, bache­lor of music, will give the recital, playing works by Bach, Marcello, and Gaul.

"Berkley Square'1 Will Be Presented Next Week

Starting Wednesday at Playhou&e

Several-of the women roles in "Berkeley Square," which the Sche­nectady Civie Players will present next week Wednesday through Sat­urday night, will be played by ac­tresses who have been seen In some of the former productions. Among those who have been very success­ful In preceding chsracterlB&tlone is Mrs. John Dalton, who is remem­bered especially for her work in "The Cradle Song." In the forth­coming play Mrs. Dalton will be seen as Helen Pettlgrew, the young woman in the 18th century with whom the hero of "Berkeley Square" falls in love.

Others in the various roles are: Mrs. Roscoe E. Sanford, Mrs, Syd-noy Huntington, MIBS Ruth Hay, Miss Patricia Sheldon, Mrs. Phil W. Sayies and Miss Betty Doyle. All but Miss Hay have been seen in former plays. The costumea for the women are of course fashioned In two periods, that of 1784 and 1W6, In which the s£ory of the play takes place. .

Many of the dresses are partic­ularly beautiful and are the work of the costume committee, Mrs. R. M. Herrlck, chairman. The w i g s and costumes for. the men have been obtained from a professional stage costum'er. The entire action of the play takes place In the morn­ing room of a house of the Queen Anne period in Berkeley Square, London. As the scenes shift back and forth in the two periods of time the element of change Is represent­ed by furniture coverings, and changes in the draperies.

The box office, opens Monday morning at 10 o'clock for the sale and exchange of tickets.

What Theater Managers Say About Them v

PROCTOR'S Beautiful Dolores Del Rio enacts

the most thrilling romance ever ex­perienced by a, girl, in RKO-Radlo Pictures" musical extravaganza, "Flylrfg Down to Rio," opening at RKO-Proctor's today.

Later she Is spirited aloft by Rou-Uen, but Raymond gets aboard the same plane; and In the climax Rou­llen is bested at love and Dolores and Raymond are married far above fee clouds by the plane's pilot.

The production is enacted by an all-star cast, including Ginger Rog* ers and Fred Astalre, celebrated idol of New1 York and London, and a chorus of 200. beauties, selected from 10,000 applicants.

ileswoman-s— Efforts Wilt 'Rough' Cagney HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—When it

comes right down to cases, Jimmy Cagney doesn't have any better luck getting rid of unwelcome women than anybody else.

In his pictures, such as "Lady Killer" and "The Heir Chaser/' Jimmy never has any difficulty con­vincing the fair sex of his displeas­ure. A well-timed sock, a carefully placed kick or a little general rough treatment always turns the trick.

But Jimmy has never made use of any of these systems in real life, and the result is that he now owns a set of books he didn't want to buy and never intends to read. The only way he could get rid of the feminine agent who represented the publisher was to buy the books.

Just how the young lady got onto the Cagney premises is a mystery. She surprised Cagney as that gen­tleman was about to "dunk the body" as he calls it, in bis private swimming pool.

"She had a letter addressed to me, all right," amits Jimmy, "from the president of something or other. Lots of other people have had let­ters, too. I don't sea how she got In. * '

"It seems I was to be specially favored," the Warner Brothers' star recalls. "Only & few lucky ones were to be allowed to even see the books. I invited her to takeU swim and Jumped In myself.

"when I came up she bad the books opened and was reading to me. I hata to be read to, so I went back Into the pool.

"But she kept right on reading. I didn't know what to do. You can't really get rough with a young lady, you know, not really. So I bought the books to get rid of her."

Which is very unlike the syetem Cagney uses in plctwes to rid him­self of unwelcome women. •
