SCENES IN PICTURE. “JAVA HEAD” The romance of adventure on seven seas clings to the oldest whal- ing bark efloat, the Charles W,. Morgan, bullt tn 1841, which was used by Mrector George Melford in his screen production of “Java Heed” for Paramount and which will be on view at the Rialto the atre four days, beginning today. Her first voyage was to tho Paalfic under Captain Norton in 1841. She was out about three years and three months and returned Iadent with cargoes of sperm oll, whale oll and whalebone. : This vessel hes always been em- ployed in the whaling business, ex- copt for her one voyage after sea elephants. From the length of ser. vice at sea and short atops in port between voyages, she has probably satled {n more oceans, for longer periods and over more miles than any other sailing vessel. She has rounded Cape Horn many times in the worst storms, but has never weakened. She its stil! a splendid ebip. and has been tmmortalized in paintings by Clifford .W. Ashley, New Bedford's greatest painter of, whaling ships. For purposes of the Joseph Her- gesheimer story it was necessary to transform the Morgan Into a clipper ship of the type which brought silke end spices to Salem harbor from China and India. By putting yards on the mizzenmast the craft was converted into a full “square rig- ger.” It is on this vessel that many of the most dramatic scenes of “Java Head" are enacted. The featured players tn the picture include Lea- ly told, the action swift and the scenes smashing in size and color. Well cast in support of Mr. Jones are Marion Nixon, Trilby Clark, Ben Hendricks, Jackie Gadsdon, Jack Herrick, Charles Coleman and other equally capable shadow performers. The story is credited to Fred and Fanny Hatton, the famous play wrights, and it might be said that these efficient thrill manufacturers never turned out a more creditabie piece of wor! —_— “WHERE 15 THE WEST” [3 FAST AGTION FILM Jack Hoxie, Untvereal Western Star, will be seen In one of the fast- est action plays of his screen career at the Wyoming theatre Sunday “Where ts This West?" is the title of the film drama and itis a satir- teal comedy<irama of many laughs and thrills. It involves the experi- ences of two milkmen from a smal! Eastern village who start West for adventures. Their adventures begin so suddenly that they aren't just sure when they're really in the West.

Saeed THERE ARE QUARRELS AND MORE QUARRELS IN COLUMBIA COMEDY A pretended quarrel can some- times iead to serious results as 1s Mlustrated in “Sweethearts” which is the Follies production new play- ing at the Columbia theater. <n this comedy two old people who} have never quarreled during the entire 30 years of their married life enter into a mock argument for the purpose of showing their daugh- ter and somin-law how foolish such spats are. A turn to the story gets the old lady suspicious of her hus- band and a real quarre] of short duration ensues. Bud Brownis played with great success last night especially to the front rows where the younger peo- ple were not willing to permit him to leave the stage after he had come out between acts in a special num- ber. The Murray sisters sing “Ij Stutter Too Much,” accompanying | it with a dance. Miss O'Neil and Mrs. Brownie sing blues songs, while the Jazz trio is there with Its usual pep. “Through the Storm,” which ts the feature picture, tells the story ef a girl's love and her willingness to renounce it rather than be a lie to those she loves. eee “BiG DAN” OFFERS MORE THRILLS THAN A CIRCUS Charles Jones as a pugilist In “Big Dan” {s an absoluts knockout!

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 7.— Motion picture plants of Los An: geles are ready “to pull up stakes and go elsewhere.” according to Joséph Schenck, motion picture pro- ducer, and husband of Norma Tal- madge, who was in the city today. Schenck declared the producers were not wholly influenced by the attitude of the Los Angeles city government, but said a great mony of them had been thinking of mov- ing for some time. Already one of the largest plants in Los Angeles, he asserted. had moved forty per cent of its production to New York. LOS ANGELES, Calit., Dec. 7.— Members of the Los Angeles crime commission today were parties to the “Blue Laws” controversy which has been in progress here since uni formed policemen halted the Motion Picture Directors’ ball at midnight last Thanksgiving. Yesterday they issued a statement wherein they called attention to “the alarming prevalence of violent crime” in the city and deplored “the apparent attitude of the police de- partment toward the suppression infractions of existing of minor statutes.” The statement recommended that “in the present emergency tho bes* efforts of the police should be di- rected primarily to the apprehension of dangerous criminals and the pro- tection of life and property in this community." At the Optimist club yesterday. Will Rogers, comedian, and the Rev James Whitcomb Brougher, pastor of the Temple Baptist church, en- gaged in a debate on the subject of blue laws. “Preachers are the poorest paid of all professions,” Rogers pointed out, “which shows what a generous race of people we Americans are.
