In this the actor and the produc- ng company followed the pattern ablished first in the stage andj creen play “Disraeli,” which also | centered about one event in the f the British statesman. = of a really great man | offers almost too much material for the dramatist. Louis N. Parker, { who ote “Disraeli” originally at | the request of Mr. Arliss, almost {gave it up as a bad job because ()(! !a super-abundance of material | available. Profi from that ex- perience, Mr. Arliss insisted that | “Voltaire,” which comes to the Cap- | itol Theatre tonight, be modeled | along similar lines and held to the ! dramatization of one incident. { The one best adapted for the screen’s use was the Calas case, the i ice of which caused Voliaire j to interest himself in it for almost | eight years. For play purposes, the time was shortened, and the locale was changed to suit the dramatist's purposes, but fundamentally, the { pictures is based upon an actual incident in Voltaire's hectic career as agitator and reformist. e MENUS TODAY | | By MRS.

Even while the breach between Gloria and Michael was widening, the star was pi ing for a comeback under the ditions she desired. From her hey: y in the silent films, in which she, had risen from Mack Sennett comedy to high sal ary and fame as a dramatic ac- tress, to a similar position in the talkis appeared an easy step—on the surface. But Gloria had made many mistakes. For more than a year she has been off the screen, although not for lack of offers. Her optimism is balanced by foresight, and she wanted to be sure of her course before accepting roles which might benefit her financially, for the mo- ment, but prove a boomerang to { her future. - Devoted Mother The indecision was ended by an affiliation with Irving G.

This morning, however, the vet- eran sled dog arrived in Seattle on the steamship Emma Alexander with the advance guard of the ex- pedition. Ed Levin, Stanford Uni- versity graduate student and field manager of the exploration party, said she enjoyed the boat trip, as did her partner, Wolf. With Levin was Kenneth Chisholm of 8an Francisco, Pather Hubbard’s companion on several trips north.
