Not only does the, picture give i ate glamses within the fors bidden precinets -of the sound stages during actual filming oper- ations. In biting satire it deals with events which transpire behind closed doors in the private offices of great executives—film moguls whose methods of conducting their studios are 'held up to ridicule. The Story The story of “Once in a Life- time”. begins . with the advent of the first talking picture, when three small-time vaudeville actors, figuratively ¢starving to death” in New York, decide to go te Holly- wood and secure someé of the easy money that a bewildered industry is. strewing about in an effort to adjjust itself to the sudden change in- motion pictures. With no knowledge of the subject they in- tend to teach, they decide to open a school of voice culture for the purpose of coaching film actors in the use of their voices. Get Good Reception 1 They are received with open arms by Herman Glogauer, head of a big Hollywood studio, who engages them to conduct a school of elocution for his players. With- in a short time a sudden whim of the film executive induces him to appoint George lewis, the ex- ceedingly “dumb” member of the vaudeville trio, supervisor of all Glogauer productions, and the pic- ture becomes a veritable riot of merriment. Every inept blunder of the clumsy Lewis somehow turns jout fortunately, and the bewilder- {ed small-timer soon finds himself acclaimed as the outstanding gen- ius of Hollywood. It Happens A common saying declares that “anything can happen in Holly- wood,” and “Once in _a Lifetime” seems to prove the point. The picture is an adaptation of the stage comedy by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman, which set the whole country laughing at the foibles of the film industry, which has more than once been characterized as _ ‘“the goofies! |business in the world.” The cast includes Jack Oakie, Sidney Fox, | Aline MacMahon, Russell Hopton, |ZaSu 'Pitts, Louise Fazeda and Onslow Stevens, and the Dpicture was directed by Russell Mack. 13 MURDERED IN SPEAKEASY INNEW YORK Brunette Woman, Escaped Convict, Bartender Are Shot Down NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-— John Sweeney, peddling newspapers this morning, pushed into a speakeasy known as Per ky's Place and stumbled jimto a triple murder.

Prettily done, they would make charming prints for a doil's house, but their interest lies beyond at- tractiveness of color and design. Where are the islands? A map on the 3-penny stamp tells you. Who owns them? A portrait of King George on the one-pound value indicates the answer. What are their products and climate? A whale on the 6-penny a Romney marsh ram on the half penny, an iceberg on the 1-penny and a chilly-looking section of the coast of South Georgia on the 4-penny reply.
