I Movie Sidelights By the Associated Press. Some celebrities of Hollywood lead & dog fancier’s life. They have many and sundry pedigreed pets. Mildred Davis has 26 of one species and Douglas Fairbanks owns large ken- nels. Clara Bow has a Mexican hair- | less pup. Alophe Menjou, Harold | Liloyd, Wallace Beery, Jack Holt and | Richard Arlen also possess dogs. The news film has lost its popular- fty with French audiences, and some theater managers.have already taken it from their programs. The chief cause for the patrons’ coldness, it is declared, is that the films are too old | when they are shown. An effort is being made to speed up the develop- ing and -distribution of the news films 80 that they may be exhibited when they are still “hot.” Bodil Rosing, who at the age of 16 layed at the Royal Theater in Copen- agen and a few years later gave up the stage to become a wife, returns to dramatic work via the silver sheet mow that her two children are grown. “Being a mother has made me a better actress,” Miss Rosing explain- ed. Director Monta Bell is her son- in-law. ‘When Vilma Banky went to New York for the holidays she found that her mastery of English during two years in Hollywood did not include a speaking acquaintance with a lot of American variations. “There is much morg slang spoken in New York than in Hollywood,” the -Hungarian actress said. Josephine Dunn recently spent a full day taking a “'10-minute shower."” Her ablutions were registered by the cameras, and the repetitions made nec- essary by the demands of the script. The shifting of studio lights gave Miss Dunn the protracted bath. Grock, the little Swiss clown who for years has amused the most hard- sned habitues of European music halls, has made his first film, haled with ac- claim by the French critics. The pic- ture is entitled “His First Film,* a comedy-farce in which he appears in the last scene only. ‘Will the movie public accept a hero- ine without the features and figure of a Greek goddess, the passion of a Radio Made Him Famous 'OSEPH KNECHT and his Good- rich Silvertown Orchestra were introduced to the world at large via radio. People of the musical world have known of Knecht for years, but it has been only recently that he has be‘ come widely known to the masses. For some years Knecht directed the 'mphony orchestra at the Waldorf- Astoria Hotel, New York. Prior to that he was assistant conductor at the Metropolitan Opera House. A= the average person does not hear much about conductors and assistant conductors at opera houses, Knecht did not come into the public spot- light until he began his series of con- certs in the grand ballroom in 1912. There he attracted wide -attention among the persons who patronize the high-priced hotels. ‘To millions in the ordinary walks of life, however, Knecht's name was Just so much Greek. Had he gone into vaudeville at an earlier date he would have come into prominence much sooner. But he is just a sim- ple, democratic sort of person and the thought of seeking publicity never éntered his mind. But when the radio came and he broadcast through stations WJZ and WEAF in New York, his music was found to be just the sort that the radio fans clamor for. Miss Clara W. McQuown has re- sumed her weekly talks on current history and will speak Friday morn- ing at 11 o'clock at th® Washington Club, Seventeenth and K “streets.

Both in Europe and America, Miss Tucker has won well deserved recog nitfon as an entertainer in her own particular line, the rendition of infmi table “red-hot mamma' songs. But it remained for Rufus Le Maire to dis cover and thrust upon a weary world the hitherto unsuspected genius of Sophie as a comedienne of rare and compelling talent in the portrayal of histrionic roles in diverting travesties on dramatic successes, such as “Th Dove,” “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” and a burlesque of the making of a super-feature film. To be sure, Miss Tucker still con- tributes her usual specialty, with the composer-virtuoso, Ted Shapiro, at the piano, her famous svmposium of asbestos “mamma” songs and true- blue ditties that drive dull care away, but it is the “skits” and snappy trav- esties, comprising a very liberal por- tion of the “affairs,” in which this young artist is seen at her best. ‘When asked recently why she had never given the play-going public an opportunity to enjoy her Thespian artistry before. the genial Sophie char- acteristically replied: “For the same very good reason that the old maids’ homes always have a waiting list—no one ever asked me to.

Motion pleture studios assert they employ more trades and professions than any other industry.

She took special care with her make-up, but did not know the 1diosyncrasies of the camera. The re. sult was terriblg, according to Miss Allison.

His new play this season, “Capon- sacchi,” has attracted as much atten- tion in the metropolis as did his *“ rano de Bergeyac” three years ago, and it promised to run as long. Several of the New York critics de- clared that Mr. Hampden's present performance is equal to or better than his memorable impersonation of the Rostand hero. Already ‘“Capon- sacchl” is approaching its 100th per- formance. “Caponsacchl” is a drama based on Robert Browning's great dramatic narrative, “The Ring and the Book.” It is notable for being the first act- able play ever made from this monu- “A Regular Trouper HEN the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation made arrangements with F.

Arthur Gaodrich and Rose A.

Sense of Humor Makes Star 'AN a sense of humor be photo- graphed? Maleolm St. Clair, director of Para- mount’s picture, “The Popular Sin,” thinks it can, and introduces Florence Xmor in a specific example to prove According to St. Clair, Florence Vi- dor’s popularity doesn’t depend on her beauty, charm, dramatic ability or unique personality. These qualities contribute to what the public knows as Florence Vidor, he admits, but there is a greater factor that has helped _determine her success—her sense of humor. There is something about her screen image which proves this, he states but how it is rather difficult to ex- plain. It may be the twinkle in her eye, a fleeting smile or an individual mannerism. “Whatever it is, it is most effective, and I know it can be photographed,” says the director. Miss Vidor's popularity grew while she was a feafured player, but she never quite won stardom. She played a wide variety of roles well, but none of them ever gave her a chance at sophisticated light comedy. Then, suddenly, with Adelphe Men- jou in “The Grand Duchess and the Walter,” her success became phenom- enal. Critics discovered a ‘“‘new Flor- ence Vidor,” and she was soon raised to_the starry heights. This is attributed to her sense of humor, which had been revealed by the camera for the first time.

Cl can Fun HE film destiny of Colleen Moore for 1927, as announced by John MeCormick, producer of her pletures, will be dedicated to a platform of clean fun, the policy that resulted a month ago in her being smelected by 2,400 theater exhibitors as the best box office attraction on the screen. Comedies of modern American life featuring the human element will form the backbone of Miss Moore's film work during the next year which will culminate in her departure for Europe, in the Spring of 1928, to make a pleture each in England, France, Germany and Italy, Me- Cormick said. A few of her new plctures have been announced.

They follow: “Always belleve that your husband is guilty until he can prove he is innocent—and then be in doubt. “Telephone frequently to his office “Smile wearily when he tells his pet story. “Always criticize his driving, and make your remarks particularly sharp when others are in the car. “Newer dress up unless visitors are expected. “Whenever he displays affection, start asking him for money. Have your girl friend in on all occasions, and constantly tell him what a success her husband is. “Hate his favorite cigar, his favor- ita newspaper, his favorite car, his pal (his mother like poison), and tell him so frequently. “If none of these suggestions drive him from home, rest assured they will not increase his happiness. “They cannot fail. They have,” says Miss Ring. never Both Belle Bennett and Lois Morah are blonde “finds” of which Gbldwyn is highly proud. Belle Bennett was literally discovered on the studio door-step.

To use & studio term, her performance “clicked” and so after 72 other candi- dates had failed, Belle Bennett was awarded what was considered among actresses to be the biggest plum of the season.
