Cal., March 19.— Gossip marts in Hollywood are buzzing with the newest plen to |Taise money for the Motion Pic- \ture Relief Fund, | Mary Pickford proposed it, and here it is. Filmdon'’s greatest stars will vol- !unteer their services for a series of 13 one-reel pictures to be called |“Hollywood on Paradise.” Para \mount will release the shorts and 190 per cent of the proceeds will go !to help the motion picture industry care for its own, ‘These shorts, as outlined in pre- liminary discussion, will show a cross-section of the life of the cinema capital and its people. Stars will open their homes to the camera and studios will their gates. From the great in- terest shown recently in the in- formal “Candid Camera” pictures of Hollywood out of makeup it is believed that there will be a strong audience demand for the pictures If the plan goes through, and everything indicates it will, Louis Lewyn will produce the films.

She harangues the woman's vote, conducts torchlight processions, handles political rallies| the town on a strike against their husbands for the sake of civic purity Drama Underlies Laughs Underlying the laughs, however, is a tense little drama of a woman battling the crooked politics of the underworld to save her daughter and other women's daughters from the perils of political conditions. She defies the gangsters and the crooked mayor—stages raids—and generally raises a rumpus with the political machinery of her rival. Charles F. Riesner, who filmed “Reducing” and . “Caught Short,”| directed the mnew . production. Members of Cast | William Bakewell and Karen| | Morley play the romantic leads,and the cast also includes Roscoe Ates, John Miljan, Tom McGuire and others. The story is an original by Zelda Sears and Malcolm Stuart Bolyan, | with continuity by Wells Root and | dialogue By Robert E.

Had the ‘author of this prize | drama, Elmer Rice, been born and | drawn His“characters from the life | of any otheér American city, large or small, his characters would have been the same flesh and blood. For “Streef Scene” is the story of the conflict, and emotions, the| fleeting joys and longer heart-aches.| of human characters in an enyir- onment which is the same in every city. “A cross-section of New York life” it was called when it was pre- | sented as a stage play. Cross Section of World In bringing it to the larger pan- orama of the screen with King Vidor directing and Sylvia Sidney, William Collier, J., and ‘Estelle Tay- Jor in the leading roles, Samue! Goldwyn s presenting it as a cross section of the entire world. New York may have tallet build- ings, more money, noise and crowds than other cities, but, says Mr Goldwyn, the lives of its people are inherently the same, A boy and girl in love feel the same hope and despalr in anyother city. Joy, and ‘hate and passion the anxieties of their ‘parents, the tongues of gossip and scandal, all the emotions of humanity are alike. Dramatic Panorama “Street Scene” is a dramatic panorama of any eity of any, city in the world. Tt speaks the language of the heart, and knows no differ- ence in race, color or creed. The Pulitzer prize, bestowed upon Elmer Rice’s play as the best stdge drama of its year, specifically provides that the award shall be fer the best drama written by an American author and based on the American scene. Anyone who sees the screen ver- sion, which is declared by all,_the magazines to be a four-star pro- duction, will recognize the roles of Rose Maurrant and Max Kapln, portrayed . respectively by ' Silvia Sidney and William Collier, Jr.; as the boy and the girl down the street. Typical Neighborhiood Gossip Beuwlah Bondi as Mys. Jones is the nelghborhood gossip, who has all the scandal of the street at the ] tip of her tongue, and relishes ev- ery morsel of it. David Landau, as Mr. Maurrant, is an American father — not the ideal American father, of course — but a type who is all too common } as a product of poverty. He is a symbol, rather than an ipdividual, a symbol of the tragedy which re- sults from narrowness and intol- erance. ] Pitlleds Story Pitifully TONIGHT EW MUSIC Elks Ball W { TICKETS FREE N el Organized 1927 i ¥ Ao | Not qné.»e} bt tter RICE & AHLERS CO.
