Tt is the only known specimen of tHis stamp, a one-cent issue of British Guiana, dated 1856.

AT COLISEUM TONIGHT | L] | Photographs of the thirty leading prep-schools of the East were stud- ied and compared in the prepara- tion of an authentic stage setting of class-rooms, campus and an as- |sembly hall for the song-dance-and dialogue picture “Sweetie,” which |is at the Coliseum for the last times tonight. “Sweetie” is a gay extravaganza lof prep-school life with Nancy {Carroll, the red-headed Paramount cutie, in the title role. There is a lavish amount of clever dances, catchy songs and big ‘“college” se- quences filled with campus frills and thrills. Helen Kane, the large-eyed babe with the tiny boopa-doopa-doop voice of Victor record fame, and Jack Oakie, smart-cracking come- dian of “Fast Company” fame, have leading supporting roles in the production. The original songs for the picture are the product of Richard A. Whit- ing, composer of “The Japanese Sandman,” and “Louise.” This picture will furhish amuse- ment in gorgeous abundance, with laughs, gags and romance, comic songs and crooning songs, fast and stirring foot-ball field action, big |group dancing to new rhythms and a wealth of clever, spirited acting on the part of its great little car- rot-topped leading lady and her splendid cast of supporting players. . KEN MAYNARD IN | WESTERN, PALACE . “Senor Americano,” Ken May- nard’s latest salking pieture for Uni-| versal, which opened at the Palace Theatre last night, is a production, of most unusual interest and ap- peal. Its action is laid in the colorful days just preceding the admission | of California to the Union. It deals largely with events in beauti- ful Southern California, in the most romantic period of its history, when the traditions of old Spain still flourished. Ken Maynard gives an ideal per- formance in the role of a young American cavalry officer who falls in love with a beautiful Spanish- Californian girl. There is all the riding and fighting for which his pictures are noted, and an appealing romance in addition. Beautiful Kathryn Crawford| makes a most appealing heroine. A graduate of the musical ' comedy stage, she is especially effective in the rendition of old Spanish love/ songs.

Charlie |Chaplin will be revealed in the |guise of composer when his new | picture, “City Lights” is released. | The comedian, who is the last| irreconcilable foe of talking pi tures left in Hollywood, has writ- ten the lyrics and music for the theme song of his production. It is to be called “Wonderful, Beau- | |tiful Eyes,” and will be introduced | {in the synchronized version by| means of a phonograph | As the whole world knows by | now, there'll be no dialogue | in| “City Lights.” Charlie’s tramp char- | acter comes into a bar-parlor and | hears the song played on a phuno-’ jgraph. After this, the melody is woven through the score of the picture. Charlie always has been particu- lar about the music for his films. Even in the days of the completely silent, pictures, he exercised close supervision over the scores destined | for theatre orchestras. His labors as composer have pro- ) duced several other melodies that will be incorporated in “City| Lights,” but they are untitled as yet. Incidentally, studio associates be-| lieve that the long awaited comedy will be ready in a month now. But for the recent hot weather, the date might have been even sooner.; Charlie hasn't worked steadily. The meére fact that he has been at the studio every day is proof of his serious intent, however, ordinarily,| he would have laid off for a month, | or more, until working conditions| were more comfortable. ‘ QUEST ENDED | A colored boy that personifies| laziness is needed for Harold Lioyd’s | new picture, “Feet* PFirst.” The| comedian sought Stepin Fclcml,i but this dusky performer is in New | Yeork.

Seems impossible, doesn't it? is K TO REPEAT The tremendous ‘success of Nor- ma Shearer” x-Wif s a novel, has led Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to buy an- other story by Ursula Parrott. It is called “Strangers May Kiss,” and relates a triangle love story in which the principal figures are a major, his wife and a young girl. The setting is Paris, after the war. Miss Shearer is to play the girl. It probably will be her first film after the arrival of the expected heir in the Thalberg family. BICKFORD DOES TWO A Swedish version of “Anna Christie” is now contemplated by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, with Greta Garbo repeating as the ill-fated An and Charles Bickford again cast as the burly Irish stoker, Matt. Mr. Bickford .does not speak Swed- ish, but will be coached in the lines of the play. By the way, this actor, who made his first hit in Cecil B. De Mille's “Dynamite,” is scheduled for another important role at M.- |G.-M. He is to bhe the hero of the film version of Kathleen Norris's “Passion Flower.” William De Mille directs this one. DO YOU KNOW That M.-G.-M. has renewed P. G. Wodehouse's contract?
