nr The Radio Kibitzer (THERE is one special indoor pest Whom I could slay with fiendish zest; Some day I'll sock him on the crock With monkey wrench or span- ner. He is the egg who claims to know \ll things about your radio, And when you let him hear your set, He holds forth in this manner: “Your speaker's sounding rather flat. Why don’t you turn your rheostat? Your volume’s weak, a new grid leak Would help to make it greater. If I were you I’d look around And try to find a better ground; \ copper pipe is just the type But not a radiator. I think you burn your tubes too high. The proper voltage to apply, Che normal rate to feed the plate, If I were you, I'd look up. You should increase your distance range, Those tuning coils look mighty strange— They’re not the kind you'll find designed To fit your present hook-up.” And yet I capture from the skies Sweet madrigals and lullabies, . From silver throats the clearest notes Of ballads, songs and snatches. You'd think that good since my set's no This captious nextdoor neighbor would Prefer to mow his lawn or hoe His pet potato patche Ss Oh, no! He’s Johnny-on-the-spot Each night at seven on the dot!

Avoiding the Issue ‘THE first review we ever wrote for this paper we devoted to a lengthy and highly literary ittempt to explain why Ed Wynn was funny And here we are, after eight years, trying to do gain Mr. Wynn is a great temptation to writers about th theatre, because he presents what seems at first to be subject which can be handled with ease and yet with a certain amount ol analytic al and academic impressive- ness. He is the kind of comedian that people write about for the Yale Review or the Dial , bee iuse he offers 1 cosmic aspect together with the chance to quote a few good gags. But all the writing in the world never seems quite to explain the phenomenon. When you have written ill you have to say, there still remains something to be brought out. You may isolate the germ plasm which makes you laugh at him, but you can’t explain the feel ing you have inside you while you are laughing. And if that isn’t a perfect example of the kind of ineffectual Ed Wynn analysis we mean, we have never read any. We did a better job in the first article we wrote on the subject. CKRBRZGO THE current Ed Wynn vehicle is called * Manhattan Mary,” and is Mr. George White's latest taunt to Mr. Ziegfeld.

24 P| gy OUUENT DQ “The Jazz Singer” "THERE is one moment in “The Jazz Singer” that is fraught with tremendous significance. Al Jolson, appearing as a Jewish youth, returns to his old home after years of wandering around the Pantages circuit. His strictly ortho dox father has disowned him because he chose to sing mammy songs in music halls rather than chants in the howeve r, synagogue; his mother, welcomes the prodigal with open arms. Al sits down at the piano and sings “Blue Sky” for his mother. Thanks to the Vitaphone attach ment, his marvelous voice rings out from the screen, the sound agreeing perfectly with the movements of his mobile lips, the wriggling of his shoulders, the nervous tapping of his feet. After the song, there is a brief bit of spoken dialogue and then Al “SHALL WE HAVI NO, I THINK ILI Life bursts into “Blue Sky” again. When he is half-way through the chorus, his father enters the room, realizes that his house is being profaned with jazz, and shouts, “Stop!” At this point, the Vitaphone with draws and “The Jazz Singer’ re- turns to a routine of pantomime punctuated with sub-titles. Such is the moment referred to in paragraph one—and when it came, I for one suddenly realized that the end of the silent drama is in sight, that I shall have to find a new name for this department, and that several attractive heading designs by John Held, Jr., will have to be thrown out. (THERE is no question of doubt that the itself in “The Jazz Singer.” Fur proves that talking movies are considerably more than a Vitaphone justifies thermore, it lively possibility: they are close to an accomplished fact THE TABBLE poty?” orpDER carte blanche.” “The Jazz Singer” isn’t much of a moving picture, as moving pictures go. It has a good idea (taken from Samuel Raphaelson’s play), but it has been hoked and sugared to a regrettable extent; and Al Jolson as an actor on the screen is only fair. But when Al Jolson starts to sing ..well, bring on your super-spec million-dollar thrills, vour long-shots of Calvary against tacles, vour a setting sun, your close-ups of a glycerine tear on Norma Talmadge s cheek I'll trade them all for one instant of any ham song that Al cares to put over, and the hammer it is, the better I'll like it. N view of the imminence of talk- ing movies, I wonder what Clara Bow’s voice will sound like. And I wonder whether the speeches that the Hollywood sub-title writers com pose will be as painful to hear as they are to read. Pe rhaps the silent drama had bet- ter remain silent until Miss Bow and the other stars have taken a few les- sons in vocal culture, and until all the present sub-titlers have died or something. “Three’s a Crowd”’ A MONG the more objectionable words in the English language, “elfin” stands out as the most of- fensive of all. Yet it is extremely difficult to review a Harry Langdon picture without using it. getting away from the fact that Langdon is elfin. 4 There’s no There’s something about him that suggests a shy pixie who lives under a_ toadstool and weaves faéry garments from moon- beams—and that’s about as far as I care to go with this terribly em- barrassing metaphor. “Three’s a latest comedy, isn’t really a comedy at all, in the accepted movie sense.

Then you destroy it en- tirely. To do this, just apply alittle Liquid Arvon at night before retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most, if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and two or three more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching of the scalp will stop instantly and your hair will be lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hun- fired times better. You can get Liquid Arvon at any drug estore, and a four ounce bottle is all you will need This simple remedy has never been known to fail. woo
