SUNDAY, DECEMBER 20, 19: HOLLYWOOD SCREENINGS HOLLYWOOD, Dec, 18.—The hec- tic days of "49 are really nothing to ‘the “prospecting — thrill: of. this movie game. The big search is al- ways for the vivid. personality that will “hit” on the screen, No digging for nuggets ever approached the duck that. centers around finding movie stars. Sometimes players who have been working for years are sud. denly ‘discovered'" by a sympathetic director who manages to bring out the right “response.” Sometimes players make an instantaneous hit swith their first screen appearance, All Hollywood is talking about the latest “find” and from underground whisperings around the studios this “discovery” will, be the sensation of 1926, just as Vilma Banky and Ron- ald Colman leaped into the big mon- ey star lst In 19 ause of the circunistances of her “arrival” in Hollywood, most of the “wise ones” thought at first that this new beauty was just an- other one of those “press agent things," but word I get from a lot of folks ‘who have seen her on the screen, who are trying like mad now to sign’her up, indicates that she has “it'’ and plenty to spare. Dolores del' Rio is the name of this new beauty sensation, She's a Mex- jean society girl. Her hubby owns 1,200,000 acres of cotton and rubber plantations. B | i} This beauty from Mexico was dis- covered by Edwin Carewe, director producer of scores of real money making movies, and Carewe was smart enough to put the little lady under a long tes: personal contract :before he saw her on the scroen. Her firet appearance is in Carewe's “Joanna, The Million Dollar Girl,” »with Doroathy Mackaill, and it was her scenes in this production that , caused the sensation around Holly- wood with the resultant scramble for . her services. Her’ next appearance will be in Carewe's new special “Run. , ning Wild.” Surely this is a funny business. Paramount bought “The Tattooed . Countess” and then changed the story because they thought it need- ed changing for the screen. Then they up and changed the name to something that to me {s not nearly wo novel nor catchy. What I'd like to know is what have they left from the book for which they pald a fancy price. On the other hand, Lubitsch has made a very “good movie from Oscar Wilde's “Lady ‘-Windermere’s Fan,” and they have kept the name. Lubitsch has cer- tainly been unfortunate in most of the main titles chosen for him. The percentage of folks who know about Wilde's play is practically nil, and I’m sure‘ the title will never seem “attractive to the millions who know ‘nothing about Lady -Wildermere or her breeze provoker. The boys will have to be careful ‘\trom- now. on about how: they speak 25 softly to the lady fair and call her “Brown Byes.” Buster Keaton in his comedy has used a cow for a “shero" and her name is “Brown Eye: She {s billed heavily every- where and in a few months every movie fan everywhere will know that particular bovine. The Johnstown Flood is to be re- Produced jn the movies. Out in Westwood the William Fox company is building Johnstown as it was in 1899 before the famous flood that fs as well known in these states as Ivory Soap. Hundreds of houses and buildings are being constructed. You see, they just had to build it so they could “flood” it, because if they went } to Johnstown to do the picture it wouldn't look like it did in 1899, and anyway the folks might object a bit to being flooded again just to permit Mr. Fox to give the movie fans a view of one of life’s greatest thrills.

By and by they came to a stream. Hale-N-Hearty wag so delighted he stood up on his hind legs, “*Whoop-eee!” grunted he. ‘Water, fresh, cold, sparkling water, and just as my throat was parched.’ He scuttled down to the stream's edge, slipping and sliding in hig hurry, Bright-Eyes close behind them—and the two Bears drank long and deep. And when they had had their fill they sat on the bank for a moment to rest. “Bang! Whack, whack, whack! “The noise was so sudden and so strange and so loud that both the Bears sprang to their feet. “‘Great acorns! What was that!’ grunted Bright-Eyes, clinging to Hale-N-Hearty's paw. “‘Blessed if I know!"* whispered Hale-N-Hearty. Sah! Keep qulet!

Reviewes {nevitably grow skeptical when “the great American novel” bursts from the presses of four or five publishers every month and “‘a new poet of gen- jus’ is introduced at least twice a year. Let it be recorded at once that “Roan Stallion” fulfills the promise of its heralds far better than the aforesaid skeptical reviewer could have dared to expect. There is power here—a virility and volcanic fire that have flamed all too rarely in mod- ern poetry, coupled with a flexible technique admirably fitted to the Gark intensity of Jeffers’ themes, And if horror is piled on horror a little too deliberately in the longer poems, if one feels the lash of the dramatist driving his puppets inex- orably toward their doom, some of the shorter pieces are surpassed by nothing in Amorican literature. On the seventh reading I_am as con vinced as I was on the first—yes more so—that “Night” is a great poem; that “Haunted Country,” “StoneCutters," “The Cycle’ are not far inferior, “Tamar” itself is magnificent in the sheer daring of its theme, in the tempestuous fury of its telling. If it fs the stuff of melodrama rather than pure tragedy the reader is not likely to make the distinction while he {s being borne along on the sweep of its narrative, The bleak house on the crags over the Pacific, the two o'4 crones, one clairvoyant, the other an fdiot, the boy and girl shadowed by an unholy herMage and driven by inexorable circumstance into an in- cestuous union, the resultant se quence of evil that heaps higher and higher until—urging fire comes to obliterate house and tenants—all these are woven into a nightmare story that will not be readily for. gotten. In this and in ‘Roan Btallion” Jef. fers has developed a verse form new and effective as he uses it. It is a very flexible line, irregular and free, but the basic rhythm is that of two pentameter lines loosely linked to- gether: ‘The year went up to its annual mountain of death, gilded with hate ful sunlight, waiting rain, Stagnant water decayed, the trick ling springs that all the misty-hood ed summer had fed Pendulous green under the gran- ite ocean-cliffs dried and turned foul, the rock-flower faded." Tho shorter poems are for the most part cast in a sonorous un- rhymed cadence: “Over the dark mountain, over the dark pinewood, Down the long dark valley along the shrunken river, Returns the splendor without rays, the shining of shadow, Peace-bringer, the matrix of all shining and quieter of shining. Where the shore widens on the bay she opens dark wings And the ocean, accepta her glory Books and Bookmen ‘A Column of Gossip and Opinion ering apray into the eyes of the chuckling Bears.” Next—"Turn Cried.
