This timely description aptly fits that “Hundred Thousand Dollar Moppet,” Irene Dare, who is mak- ing her film debut with Bobby Breen 0 “Breaking the Ice” at the Capi- tol tonight. Small Irene will soon be queen iupnm SHOWS | | throughout the land, in the opinion of those who have seen her flitting across the ice. The six-year-old lass from St. Paul, Minn,, is a veritable scorcher on skates. Her short legs pump like toy pistons in giving her sufficient momentum to carry her 50 pounds of personality through her Char- lotte stops, whirls and figure-eight. Her pre-production schedule re- quired Irene to rehearse three hours daily under the watchful eye of her mother, but it required the King's horses to get her off the ice when the time was up! ‘To give Irene the proper send- off on her film career, Producer Sol Lesser allotted $100,000 to the ice skating sequences in which she ap- pears. The result is that the ice- carnival spectacle is one of the most elaborate and entrancingly beauti- ful seen on the screen in many a day.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal., May 21.—This would be what is called a “woman’s picture” if it didn’t boast also about the-larrupiniest prize fight the movies have staged. Angd even so, I doubt if there. was a dry-eyed woman in the audience at the finish.. It all lddl up to a good movie—one of Director Ruggles’ best. . ‘When a pug from the wrong side of the track marries & nrl from the right, rich side the developments are not guaranteed to be startlingly original. “Invitation to Happiness” isn't startling, but it has its share of originality. It also has warmth, humor and rich sentiment that doesn’t slop over. Eleanor Wayne (Dunne) marries “King” Cole, hflvyweldfiv aspirant (MacMurray), even though he warns her it's a bag idea. Knowing that his whole ambition lies in winning the champions ship, the girl is a good sport about his career that keeps them apart, even when their boy is born. Ten years later, with ‘Qole . on the verge of .a championship bout, he finds himself completely estranged from his son through prolonged absences, and this leads to a quarrel with his still devoted wife. The divorce divides custody of the child equally the first yelr. so Cole has the boy (Cook) while he trains for his bout.
