Byrd shows the true colors of good sportsmanship when he gives his best instruments to Amundsen and Ellsworth and later pays them a fine tribute by taking off in his Fokker and accompanying the Norge for some distance on its flight to Alaska.

It w strange story, of humble show foile in a_ Hamburg anusement park, who rise in their profession un- til they become steliar performers on the trapeze in Berlin's Wintergarten. Every night they swing and somer- ault perilously above the heads of the trusting, beer-drinking audience. They perform their acrobatic miracles— three of them, two men and a girl— until they are suddenly converted into a triangie. at the corners of which may be found illicit love, unfaithful ness and a bitter passion for revenge. | T forms u marvelous melodia- | matic situation Director Dupont has_developed » the utmost limit of thrilling effecNyeness. The performancby Emil Jannings us a genial, easy-going, credulous ac robat, is positively great. It is gn par with his unforgettable characteri zations in “Passion,” “Deception” and “The Last Laugh."

One of them was Eleanor Boardman. the other Wiliiam Haines. ‘They had hoth been recruited in New York by Bijou Fer- nandez, who was then hunting for new taient, and both had been award ed movie contracts at a small salary on the chance that they might de velop talent. Taken to Hollywood, with this glowing opportunity ahead of them, they had been given no chance to do anything whatever—and they both were complaining bitterly Indeed, both were looking longingly toward their former jobs in New York. Miss Boardman was the first to break through. About a vear later she was given a good part in a Rupert Hughes picture, “Souls for Sale”; Mr. Haines was effectually obscured in the same production. After that Mis: Boardman went on to success, leav- ing Mr. Haines far behind her. Last season William Haines sud- denly found himself in “The Tower of ~Lies.” “Little Annie Rooney." | “Memory Lane,” “Brown of Harvard" and “Lovey Mary.” He is now about to be made a star, with a giowing fu- ture ahead of him. Both Miss Boardman and Mr. Haines are to be seen next year in “Tell It to the Marines.” Miss Fernandez may well he proud of her perceptiveness in picking this pair on their face value alone. - The material of which stars are made is not easy to find—as any easting di- rector can tell you. . x ¥ % F. W. Murnau, director of “The Last Laugh,” arrives in New York this week, bringing with him a print of his latest product, “‘Faust,” with Emil Jannings as Mephisto. *‘Faust” will be released by Metro-Goldwyn. Mr. Murnau will work in the future for Fox. (Copyright, 1926.) Highest Peak as Location. THE highest point in the United States has been chosen as one of the locations in Erich von Stroheim's production, “The Wedding March.” Mount Whitney, most picturesque of all the Sierra peaks, which the di- rector declares absolutely answers the demands of the script, is a shaggy, towering eminence. of solid rock high above the timber line, surrounded by limpid lakes and eternally crested with snow. It is claimed that it has never before been used as a picture location, Von Stroheim has a decided flair for keeping off the beaten trail when it comes to locations. It will be recalled that_he spent six weeks in the heart of Death Valley filming scenes for “Greed"” last year.
