Perhaps no picture in history has had the problems that occurred in the filming of this sensational liter- ary work, and never before has a novel been so closely translated to the screen. Not only in the matter of plot was this achieved, but by means of special lighting effects and impres- sionistic settings, the actual psy- chology of the author, as echoed in the book, was obtained. “We tried to film states of mind along with our characters,” plains Charles Brabin, the director. Drama there is in plenty—the strange love of the old Uncle Pio for the plotting, vicious, beautiful Camile, the unrequited love of the letter writer, Manuel, and of the convent girl, Pepita, and the strange moral disintergration under the lash of misery, of the old Marque- sa. ‘These elements are told in effects and suggestions rather than direct narration, and the -effect on audiences is gripping and en- thralling. There is also spectacle—the great cathedral and its vices, the supreme thrill when the bridge, stretched two hundred feet — “Tomorrow’s Styles Today” Millinery Dresses Coats Gloves All new arrivals on the last boat. | |big things on the ex- | majestic ser-! across a.gorge in the Andes, breaks and plunges five to their death Through it all runs the delicate love romance of the convent girl and her lover, who doesn’t dream that he has her love. /’;}MORTON DOWNEY NOW | SEEN, HEARD, COLISEUM 31 | rApparenLly destined to achleve | dialogue and singing screen, Morton Downey, Broadway’s golden-voiced tenor who scored so emphatically as Tommy O'Day in “Mother’'s Boy,” is seen to excellent advantage in his sec- ond Pathe star dialogue picture, “Lucky in Love,” which is now at| the Coliseum. Mr. Downey was born in Brook- (yn, N. Y, and from his earliest| !infancy, he has been known as a| singer with a superb voiec which in time developed into a tenor often compared to John McCormack’s. He was for many years identified with | Paul Whiteman’s famous musical | organization as soloist. He was in| Burope for several years and on his return in October, 1928, he was giv- len his first dialogue and singing 'role in “Syncopation.” This was {followed by his appearance in a/ stellar role in “Mother's Boy,” and 'in “Lucky in Love” he has the part of an Irish stable boy, whose golden ivoice wins the love of Lady Mary {Cardigan, an Irish beauty. The story written by Gene Mar- !key, affords Mr. Downey numerous | opportnities for the display of his {mimetic and vocal talent. There fis plenty of drama, comedy and fine melody. Betty Lawford plays opposite the star and the featured |players, all stage artists of dis- tinction, include Colin-Keith John- ston, Halliwell Hobbes, J. M. Ker-/ rigan and Mackenzie Ward. In the' supporting cast also are such play- | ers as Eddie O'Connor, Louis Sorin, |Edward McNamara, Elizabeth Mur- | {ray, Tyrrell Davis, Richard Taber lsmd Mary Murray. | i i R——— { “HOLLYWOOD REVUE” B | SOON SEEN AT PALACE | g Siis e = Jazz is the rhythm of the era put to music and is constantly im-| proving, according to Arthur Lange, i musical director of the “Hollywood | Revue,” Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer huge all musical and talking spectacle, coming soon to the Palace Theatre. | Gets Divorce & #ssociated Press Photo Helen Twelvetrees, motion pic- ture actress, has been granted a aivorce in Los Angeles from Clark Twelvetrees.

DIGEST TOTAL MOUNTS AS 4 STATESBALLOT Repeal Continues Well in Lead, Although En- forcement Gains Four new States—Colorado, Ida- ho, Montana and Utah—are in- cluded in the fifth report of the Literary Digest Prohibition poll which shows a total of 2516,072 votes canvassed from 44 states and the District of Columbia. Two of these, Idaho and Montana, " give pluralities for repeal and the oth- er two for enforcement, while all four show a majority for the com- bined modification and repeal vote. The vote, as reported, gave: for enforcement, 712,549; for modifica- tion, 754,266; for repeal 1,049,257, “In a general way,” said the Di- gest, “it may be said that the two extremes, enforcement and repeal have both gained slightly in rela- tive strength since the first tabu- lation of ten states in the Digest of March 15.” This was .accompanied by a cof- responding slight decline in the HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIlIlIlIIIIIIIII!IIIIIIHIIIIIIIHIIIlIIIII|IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII"IlIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIHII|||||IIIIIIIIIIIlIIlIII||IIIIIlIl|||||IIIII!IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII|I||IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllIIIII||IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII modification ratio about one ‘and one-half percent. . Stories going the rounds of peo- ple receiving more than one bal- lot, the Digest remarked, arise from special professional or occupation- lal polls being made by the maga- |zine concurrent with the General poll. However, ‘it has discovered some sporadic instances of duplica- {tion in the general poll, which Is not unnatural. “What really counts is the proved integrity of the sys- tem,” it explains The Digest calls attention fo a “touch of comedy” growing out of such a situation, as reported in ithe New York Evening Post. Dr. Clarence True Wilson, general sec- retary of the Board of Temperance, Prohibition, and Public Morals of the Methodist Episcopal Church, “publicly advised a group of min- isters to vote more than once” in the poll, “if they received more than one ballot. “If you get three bal- lots it appears you should vote them,” he is reported to have said. But later, when some of his brother clergymen expressed dis- may, and asked him to modify his advice before a reporter left the hall, he said that “perhaps strictly we should vote only once.” - ee—— - Dinner Speclals at Mabry's Cafe? | Have you triea tne Five o°Clock —— LEL Almquist Fiosy your Suft We call and deliver.
