THE DAILY ALASKA EMPI‘RE,. WEDNESDAY, NOV. 4, 1931. RO CAPITOL LAST TIMES TONIGHT with Kenneth Harlan Josephine Dunn E Charles Delaney, NEWS HUMANETTES “SARGE'S PLAYMATE” Comedy MIDNIGHT SHOW—1 A. M. BUSTER KEATON “PARLOR, BEDROOM AND BATH” By ROBBIN COONS HCOLLYWOOD—From New York the other day came a report that Greta Garbo had spent two weeks there, under an assumed name, doing some shopping. The studio, checking the report, found that Grata had used her last vacation resting in the mountains and at Santa Barbara. Scarcely a week passes that some studio does not have to check on the whereabouts of one of its stars. Usually it develops that the star in question has not left Hollywood, and the distant city rumors to the contrary have arisen from some im- postor. In the case of Garbo, the many girls who look and dress like the famous Swedish actress serve as a protection when she does venture forth incognito — that is to say, when she does venture forth. Every city has its Garbo imita- tors, and Garbo herself being the best imitation of Garbo, can pass for one of these. But sometimes this proves embarrassinug. There was, for instance, the day she went motoring up the coast and, as night drew near, found herself approaching San Francisco. She registered at a hotel there as “Olga Smith” — or was it “Olga Svenson?” Anyway needing some money the next day, she went to a bank and presented a check signed “Grzta Garbo.” The bank was skeptical, checked the hotel she named, and found no Garbo there. And the glamorous Greta almost landed in jail! Broadway in Hollywood Broadway long has moved to Hollywood as far as its stage stars gre concerned, but now the migra- tion is complete. The other day I was accosted by a furtive-eyed gen- tleman with a pronounced Man- hattan accent who offered gener-| ously to let me look at a “fine fox fur you can have cheap. It's hot.” When I hinted (being a country boy who once had a look-see at the big city) that I knew his rack- et, he scurried on with an “O-kay, Buddy!” that left me feeling smug- dy worldly wise all day. Another for Arliss George Arliss, whose new picture “AIR POLICE” TO BE SUCCEEDED BY KEATON PLAY {“Parlor, Bedroom and Bath” Will Be Preview- ed at 1 Tonight With “Air Police,” featuring Ken- neth Harlan and Charles Delaney, showing at the Capitol theatre for the last times tonight, “Parlor Bedroom and Bath,” starring Bus- ter Keaton and presenting Regin- ald Denny, Charloite Greenwood and Sally Eilers in the supporting cast, will be the headline attrac- tion at the regular performances temorrow night. “Parlor, Bedroom and Bath” will be previewed at the matinee at 1 o'clock tonight. In “Air Police,” Josephine Dunn, the platinum-hairéed blond appears in the only important feminine role. She is another alumna of Floreaz Ziegfeld's famous training school for screen stars. Born in New York, and educated at the Sacred Heart Convent in that city, Miss Dunn was among the first of the Paramount “junior stars” and later was a contract player with Dancer In Cantina Her role in “Air Police,” that of Dolores, a dancer in a border can- tina, offers her exceptional oppor- tunities to display her talents as an emotional actress. In “Parlor, Bedroom and Bath” Kcaton of the frozen countenance cavorts through a comedy of er- rors in which too many sweet- hearts, a jealous husband with a gun, a policeman and a balky auto figure in a riproaring series of trials and tribulations. Adapted from the stage play, one of the reigning comedy hits cf Broadway, the new picture has Buster in the role of a young man who is “touted” as a gay Lothario to such an extent that he is in trouble—mostly woman trouble — practically all the time. Suspected By Sweetheart He gets suspected by his sweet- heart, is caught in the compromis- ing position with a married woman by her jealous husband—who has a gun—disrupts a fashionable hotel, wrecks a car and almost himself, and otherwise stays in hot water to the infinite relish of the audi- ence. Miss Greenwcod, the celebrated comedienne of “So Long Letty,” and other Broadway hits, adds no end of joviality to those scenes in which she goes through all sorts of gymnastic stunts with the long legs that made her famous. The prominent cast is further augmented by the presence of Denny, Cliff Edwards and Edward Brophy. Walter Huston, whose First Na- tional contract ran out, goes back to the studio for a part opposite Lil Dagover in “I Spy.” . . . And Walter's son John has adapted “St. Johnson,” another Huston vehicle to be called “Law and Order,” for Universal. . . . 5 Not that it matters, but Lucile Gleason plays her own son Rus- sell’s mother-in-law in “Nice Wom- en.” D e o NOTICE O.
