Wells' dialogue was of the best. Richman and James Glea- son, who plays a prominent role, are two of Broadway's leading wise- crackers, and interpolated many | spontaneous gags into the picture. | Others in the supporting case are Joan Bennett, Lilyan Tashman, Ail- | een Pringle, Richard Tucker, Pur-| nell Pratt and Eddie Kane. Edward | Sloman directed the picture, which is from an original story by John W. Considine, Jr. Ruth Chatterton Stars “The Lady of Scandal” features Ruth Chatterton. The photoplay is based on the British stage play, “The High Road.” Miss Chatterton plays an actress thrust through a betrothal intothe havoc therein. H ‘The supporting cast is notable in- cluding Basil Rathbone, as leading man, Ralph Forbes, who is Miss Chatterton’s husband, Herbert Bun- ston, Nance O'Neil, Cyril Cladwick, Moon Carroll and Robert Bolder. Spectacular Highlights Sidney Franklin directed the| production. One of the specta-| cular highlights is the theatrs| sequence in which Miss Chatter- | ton sings and dances with a chorus | of “English Johnnies.” Her song, | “Say It With a Smile,” was com- posed by Jack King, with lyrics by | Elsie Janis. The reproduction of a British | society tennis match, and a series of scenes in the home of a London peer, are among the spectacular in- itures of the play, which was; screened on a lavish scale. HOLLYWOOD TOPICS | HOLYWOD: Cal, June 24—The golden age of the director as a box office ‘asset in picturees has/ faded considerably as once more the star rises to paramount im- portance. The -director always will be a powerful factor within the industry, but his name on the billing to- day sinot the magnet that draws the paying patronage on a big scale. In other times Jeast two names—Cecil B. DeMille and David Wark Griffith—which } there were at!| i DeMille’s picturesque character, the legends built around him, his bizarre screen innovations and lav. ish style, made him “box office Thus he could build stars, like Glo-! ria Swanson, Thomas Meighan,! Bebe Daniels, Wallace Reid, Lea- trice Joy, and their fame grew with | his. DeMile still is powerful, but not the king he was. i “OLD MASTER” So, too, with Griffith. After “The” Birth of a Nation” Griffith was the reigning power among directors. For years he held his throne, and| people flocked to his pictures. He was the “old master”. , His last picture, “Abraham Lin- coln,” was acclaimed anew, but the name of Griffith is no longer a magic magnet of the box office. Clarence Brown broke into prom- inence with “The Goose Women" and rose steadily until he attained top mnotch position. But people go to see Garbo because she is Garbo, not because she is in a “Clarence Brown production.” “The Big Parade” put King Vidor on the movie map, and “The Cov- ered 'Wagon” established James Cruze. They are no less potent di- rectors now, but they must hdve stars in their films to make them pay. To the discerning fan there are other :directorial names, besides those, which “mean something” in picture values. They. include Frank Borzage, Tod Browning, Frank Capra, John Ford, Wesley Ruggles, Raoul Walsh, Mer- i [vyn LeRoy, E. H. Griffith, Frank Lloyd, Fred Nibo. TALENTED TRIO Josef von Sternberg, Ernst Lu- | bitsch and Lewis Milestone prob- i |ably are the best box office names i {among directors of recent promi- nence. The von Sternberg tech- nique, his eccentricities off screén, lifted him to attention éven before he brought Marlene Dietrich to Hol- lywood. Lubitsch’s screen style likewise is distinctive. Milesone’s produections, depend- ing rarly on stars, have been con- sistent with hits, ————— Old papers at the Empire offica Empire. Anfi;Monarchists Split Up.

Necessarily limited as is the ca- reer of a President of France, Fallieres enjoyed a social position during his term which had an un- determined effect upon the coun- try’s international deaings. King Edward was a particularly close friend, their meetings includ- ing numerous dinners and parties in both their capitals. - The Prince of Wales, now King George V., also enjoyed his hospitality, while he exchanged visits with King Haakon of Norway, the King of Spain, King Prederick of Denmark and the King of Greece.
