PrRINCIL MefroPolifa}L News andComrfient By W. H. Landvoigt. \ OTHER'S DAY” doesn’t mean much in the movies, at least locally, ‘this year. “Introduce Me,” “Kiss in the Dark,” “Confessions of a Queen” and “One Year to Live,” the pro- gram at the big houses, fail to suggest even remotely any- thing of the old-fashioned mother and the attributes invariably associated with her. This is the age of “Dancing Mothers,” whose daughters are the sages that guide the destiny of the race. Of course, there are hundreds— thousands—of the dear, old-fashioned mother still in our midst, but'the spotlight is not for her. She is not a good box office attraction. Neither is the daughter of the old-fashioned mother overpopular in our. present atmosphere of jazz. She sneaks in here and there in a picture once in a great while, but rather as a wallflower or comedy subject, than as an object of pre-eminent admiration. O tempora! O mores! * k% % HE drift of the producers now is toward comedy. And immediately their thoughts—perhaps it would be nearer correct to say. their ac- tivities—turn toward the best box office comedians. It's the way of the movies. Stories may be all right, but the comedian who is known to gorge the box office means more in the way of comedy to the producer than stories ever could mean. He couldn’t think for a moment of a ‘story brimming with humor wiffolded by a no-star cast ‘that knows how to:act without seeming to do so. The thought is preposterous. First the com- edy star whose achievements have been registered in dollars and cents., Then the director who has a score of knockouts to his credit. - Then the gag man. And that is what comedy means to the movie man. What:a splem}\d comedy he himself would make in—say a George Bernard Shaw story * %k ¥ X ILE hustling to get out their publicity for the new season weeks ahead of the customary time, the producers are also engaged in a merry rush to acquire theaters to show them in. Here is comedy itself. Much ecarning has made many of them mad, for theaters are not all that spell success in the movies. The more theaters the more people are needed to fill them and make them pay. Some day there will be many theaters to rent, many for sale, and then some bright genius of the pen w?‘ll find in their story material for a tragedy of the movies. * %k X % WHILE Germany is hurrahing over Hindenburg, news comes that France is ing with the Soviet. By way of opening the Russian market, Film Daily tells us, it is learned that the Phocea, a French com- pany, has made an offer to the Soviet to produce a propaganda film called “The Force and Grandeur of the Soviet,” the condition being that Phocea is to control the distribution in-all territories. Seems like a_com- edy story, but won't it be sad when American democracy is called upon to withstand the force of Soviet propaganda fostered and fortified by its French:ally. It will be a sad day for the movie when it begins to mothier political propaganda. On the other hand, the same authority states that Joseph M. Schenck, best identified for the movie fan as Mr. Norma Tal- madge, is going to make the United Artists’ work—a distinctly anti-Soviet doctrine. -“Incidentally,” states the news report, “Joe Schenck's influence with Doug and Mary is apparent, and for the first time since' United Artists began to function these stars-are willing-to produce more than o?fie p,écture a year; and that should mean-a lot—at the little old- box office.” 4 Xk kK 'ARRY LANGDON, one of Mack Sennett’s one best bets, is looming as a salary contender. Just a little while ago and Harry was scarcely known outside the neighborhood houses.- Now Harry is loftily.refusing $3,000 a week, with Metro-Goldwyn as a bidder for his services,.and he is demanding $5000. If Gloria can go in for comedy at.an uimentionable figure, why may not Harry aspire? Eventually, at this rate,”comedy will be the highest-priced entertainment on the market, for: somebody. will have to raise the money to pay these wonderful salaries. s * * UT don’t imagine the French and the German filmers -are to have all of what is left after the Americans get through.~-Our-English-cousins;, thoroughly wrought up over the beastly commercial spirit-of-the Ame: can movie in invading the English market and taking it over,-are going to retaliate. J. G. Wainwright and M. Balcon, we are told, have: sailed from dear old Lunnon with-a cargo of precious prints for the. American market, .and soon, perhaps, the English movie will be.as: familiar on' the silver sheet as the English actor is on the American stage..- “The Prude’s Fall” and “The Blackguard” are likely to be among ‘the’ earliest screen, offer- ings, if Messrs. Wainwright and Balcon can find a: purchaserfor' them.:. - * %k X % s St . FA—+and it is all one word—proposes to issue30'German-pictures: next: year, 10 of them “specials.”” The Ufa is said to be easily the ‘most important film-producing company in central Eusope. Nine Ufa pictures are reported as sold for Great Britain, where not so long ago German pictures were anathema, and this is cited as a_reason for-hope-in- the Mynerican market. “The Last Laugh,” featuring Emil Jannings, was'a' Get-. man picture, and those who-pretend to.know say that the. German. pro- ducer places dramatic art above spectacular display and meretriciaus sen- sation. “Passion” was the first German picture to attract unusual dtten- tion in this country. % 3 AT, * K k * T S TTHE PHANTOM OF THE QPERA,” the latest:Universal-masterpiece |t of Carl Laemmle, had ‘its premiere in.

There-is- romance, there is drama, there is tragedy and mystery * * * everything entering into the successful :‘modern photoplay.” The Chronicle . declares: - “The produc- tion is massive, magnificent and a sequence in color, the ‘bal de l'opeta wlnderfully beautiful. The reproduction of the:Paris Opera ‘is. wonder- fully well done.” The Examiner states that the picture carries the Leroux story in a magnificent manner, and the Call, the one dissenting" yoice, complains that “the story drags to the point of nausea up to the inter- mission, and after that too much celluloid has flowed under the: bridge to save the picture from the critics.” But even the Call- concedes-its splen- did sincerity and undoubted artistic values, while predicting for-it an un- kind fate. 3 &) * % kX = o TYOLA has returned, with outlaw booze and undeclared jewels, it'is true, but, nevertheless, she is once more in America. . Now watch-the next move. However temperamental, however umlr\ed‘tn be law “uriabiding, Pola is a great actress. Perhaps Hollywood will now give her a real story, a real director and a real chance to show.that the Pola of “Passion” was not a mege flash-in-the-pan: - Gloria’s desertion to-United Artists,"if that prove true, may also prove to be Pola’s one chance to-shine in-alt her lory. - g x ! -k %k ¥ %k : A PLEASANT incident of the week in movie circles was the: unexpected arrival in Washington of Adolphe Menjou, whose stetling work for the silver sheet has placed him ‘among its golden stars .of masculine tandency.

ILLIS GOLDBECK, who wrote the adaptation for Herbert Brenon’s production of Barrie’s “Peter Pan,” has been engaged to prepare another of Sir James M. Bar- rie's plays for screen production by the same director. “A Kiss for Cinderella,” which nine years ago served as a vehicle for Maude Adams, will be put into pro- duotfon soon, with Herbert Brenon directing. Following the run of this play, in which she garnered fresh laurels as a Barrie heroine, Miss Adams retired from the footlights. Goldbeck returned recently from a visit with Barrie in London, Where they discussed the film version of the lay. P Gotdbeck 1s responsible also for the continuity of “Scaramouche,” which last Christmas won for its author, Rafael Sabatini, the $10,000 prize awdrd offered by Adolph Zukor through ‘the - Authors’ League of America. * Movies in Russia. MOTION pictures are gaining a huge clientele in Russia, according to reports received from Moscow by the Russtan Information Bureau in Wash- ington. Three large firms and sev- eral smaller ones™are busy producing pictures to meet the-demand. * Moskvin, the star of the Moscow Art Theater in its recent. American tour, has taken to the silver screen. and a Alm version of Pushkin’s “Sta- tion Master,” in which he has the principal role. will shortly be released.

The actor has introduced into this story of a would-be mountain climber some hair-raising - adventure, it is claimed, which leads up to an amaz- ing climax. Opposite MacLean {s seen Anne Cornwall, the Wampas baby star for 1925, who is but 4 feet 11 inches tall and described as a dazzling bit of fem- king of a small and decadent mon- archy who tears himself away from the charms of a favorite to contract a state marriage with the beautiful and proud Princess Fredericka, who meets his overtures with revulsion and ter- ror. Spurned by his wife, the king enters upon another debauch that precipi- tates .a revolt among the populace and a demand for his abdication which is prevented by the queen's demand that the throne be held for their little son. His heroism aroused, the~king single-handed holds back the revolu- a. sound, well planned, mechanical groundwork.

SEVERAL months ago Alice Terry appeared ‘with Conway Tearle in a production of “The Great Divide” for Metro-Goldwyn and the screen world began a rather elaborate guessing’ contest concerning _the future of the fair star of “The Four Horsemen,” “The Prisoner of Zenda.” “Scaramouche" and other Rex Ingram pictures. Miss Terry's appearance with Con- way Tearle in the Metro-Goldwyn pro- duction was almost immediately fol- lowed by the anpouncement of the Famous Players-Lasky Co. that she and Mr. Tearle would be featured in a Paramount production of “Sack- cloth and Scarlet.” The guessers then began to predict that Miss Terry and Mr. Tearle would join forces as leading man and woman in a number of forthcoming pictures, but when “Sackcloth and Scarlet” reached the screens Mr. Tearle was missing from the cast and, before that cir-| cumstance could be explained, Metro- Goldwyn came along with a new pro- duction of Alphonse Daudet’s “Kings in Exile,” called “Confessions of a Queen,” in which Miss Terry is featured with Lewis Stone, the actor who was her associate in a number of her biggest triumphs under Rex Ingram. This picture opens a Wash- ington engagement this afternoon. Paramount already has announced another Alice Terry picture on its “Second Famous Forty” list, entitled 1 Any Woman,” from an original story” by Arthur Somers Roche. Conway Tearle is supposed to be Miss Terr: leading man and co-featured associate in this production, though it is prob able that Tearle will be supplanted by some other male actor by the time the picture reaches the screen Incidentally, the revival of the as sociation of Miss Terry and Lewis Stone in “Confessions of a Queen recalls the fact that Rex Ingran Miss Terry's husband, did not make good his threat to quit screen work v and take up a residence in Algeria, which he loves. TInstead Ingram is now putting thie finishing touches to a magnificent screen production of “Mare Nostrum the famous story by V. author of “The Four Hor “Blood and Sand.” It seems of interest at this point also to mention that Ingram's famous young male star Ramon Novarro, Who has been missing from the screen ever since he and Mis Terry ap- peared in Ingram's “The Arab,” will shortly reappear in a new production called “The Virgin Flame,” which Monta Bell, the former Washington newspaper man, directed. Both this picture_and Ingram’s production of “Mare Nostrum" are scheduled on the forthcoming *“Perfect eries of Metro-Goldwyn pictures, which have been prepared for release during the first half of the 192 theatrical season. **Street of Forgotten Men." INE industry of New York City which you won't find listed in the census reports of 20 years ago was the making of “cripples.” In the early years of this century there were sev- eral so-called “cripple factories, known to the police, where day and night shifts of professional beggars were fitted with fake bandages, arti- ficial arms and legs, false high-heeled shoes and other trick paraphernalia for the luring of sympathetic coins into battered tin cups. Herbert Brenon will show onc of these “cripple factorles” in operation in “The Street of Forgotten Men,” which he is now filming. Every detail will be authentic. jt is said, for the set was built and furnished under thelb supervision of John D. Godfrey, who for over 20 years has been mendicant officer of the Brooklyn Bureau of Char- ity, and who is assisting Mr. Brénon in the technical and research work on the story. Here will be shown beggars being made up under the expert hand of Adolphe, a lttle Frenchman, who was famous in . his day for his artistic transformations. Piles of artificial limbs, canes and crutches give at- mosphere to the place, as do the “mugs,” or pictures, of famous bes- gars which adorn the dingy walls. ““Me kers; Thursday, Percy Marmont, in “The Clean Heart,” and Aesop Fable; Friday, Margaret.
