MURDER FARCE AMUSE CROWDS AT THE CAPITOL Victor McLagen, Edmund Lowe and Richard Arlen Star in ‘Guilty as Hell’ “Guilty as Hell,” a murder farce starring Edmund Lowe and Victor McLaglen, is the feature on the Capitol Theatre program tonight. “Guilty as Hell,” a screen adap- tation of Daniel N. Rubin's suc- cessful stage play, makes sport of the conventional murder “thriller” by developing its story along com- edy lines, rather than on serious lines. u At the opening of the picture the audience sees a murder com- mitted. But Lowe, a police re- porter, and McLaglen, a detective, arrive on the scene later, and it takes them plenty of time during which they blunder through many amusing incidents, for them to find out what the audience already knows. Meanwhile they nearly send Richard Arlen, a friend of the woman who has been slain, to thz gallows. Adrienne Ames has the leading feminine role in the production. She is cast as Arlen’s sister, and it is her appeal to 'McLaglen and Lowe that keeps them working on the case. A twenty minute reel of inter- esting news events and selected short subjects complete the inter- esting program at the Capitol The- ater. ——e————— TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Alsie J.

The lecture, by the excep- tional Mrs. Helene Burke, alone is worth double the admission. I do not defend the title of the show. Personaly, I think it is terrible and in bad taste but I can say to the timid or the prudish—don’t let the title stop you. There is nothing lurid about the show.

Thomas, 4 *“Unhappy Ending”-Story o'f%ryu and.Doug SCHOOL BOARD Film Rungs in Fame’s Ladder—Whfi of the Future? No. 3. on the right Douglas Fairbanks This is the last of a series of three stories on the Fairbanks- Pickford separation, disclosing thc break in a union long re- garded by Hcllywood as ideal in harmony. By ROBBIN COONS HOLLYWOOD, ‘Cal, July 20— Doug and Mary—what of their fu- tures? Mary is going to k:ep on work- ing in pictures—there seems no doubt about that. Of Douglas’ plans even a speculative Hollywood is {not as sure as usual. Even though they are married, {Mary has her own company, Doug- las has his. Only for one picture were their interests merged—their co-starring film, “The Taming of the Shrew.” Before he sailed to Europe the last time, Doug was “warm” on a story of a modern Robin Hood-like character ~with a Chinese back- ground ,the film to be mad2 in China. This idea was virtually abandoned. Considercd Remaking Hits ‘Another that caught his fancy was the plan to remake two of his earlier successes, “The Mark of Zorro” and “Don Q, Son of Zorro.” These, if filmed, would mark a reversion to the swashbuckling cos- tume dramas which were the ath- letig star’s delight, along with such pictures as “The Gauchi.” His last of the costume typ#, pre- tentious and ornate, was “The Iron |Mask.” Since that was made, Doug has made two pictures besides his feature travelog. “Reaching for the Moon” was modern ccmedy drama, and “Mr. Robinson Cruso2" was adventure-comedy. There has been talk that he thought of turning producer, per- {haps after a couple of picturs: more. Another report has had that he was tired of films and wanted to do nothing more than continue his extensive travels. Mary Still Pursues Career ‘Mary, on the other hand, appears as full of fight for her career as ever. In pictures since 1909—she was born in 1893—she has remain- ed before the public consistently as no other star has done. Her first talkie, “Coquette,” has grossed more,’ the company claims, than any other Pickford feature ever made. Her second was “Kiki,” not so successful, and her third and latest was “Secrets,” which appears to be well received in many cities. Once, after Mary had appeared in a series of poor pictures, all Hollywood thought the Pickford star had fallen. Mary dug into her cinematic trenches, fought, and emerged again brighter than ever. Chooses Stories Carefully An indefatigable worker, Mary searches long and painstakingly for suitable stories. ‘She began ‘“Se- crets” as her second talkie, aban- doning it after spending much imoney and time on it, hecause it was not shaping up well ‘When she made it again, it was from a different script. Hollywood" sees Mary's future in films dependent mainly on the quality of her next two pictures. If she can make them outstanding Hollywood sees no reason why the | Pickford star should not shine on. The same, in Hollywood's view, applies to Doug—if he is interested. ———evo—— CALL FOR BIDS Sealed bids will be received at the City Clerk's office up to 5 pJm.
