AMUSEMENTS. .. The Moving Picture Album BY ROBERT E. AVING been open almost a and having accommo many millions of wide. eved patrons, the gorgeous Paramount Theater in New has finally managed to show one exceptionally good picture. After weeks and weeks of fair to middiing, indifferent to downright bad film fare, a melodrama called “Under- world" flashed across the Paramount screen, and the battalion of stifiiv | starched ushers almost dropped in their tracks. They had seen plenty ing shows the ticularly during the weeks that Paul Whiteman’s band was there—but thix was the first time they had ever seen 1 their own theater, at least) a genu- inely entertaining movie rhaps the policy is to he change Paramount Theater lar cinema palaces thr country haps these 1=y will to be glorified | houses and will con- pieture ters perhaps not £ x of entertain. thea < the most expert ofs melodramas that Holly en to the world. 1t is the great, blunde mar who madly girl named Feathers bum out of the g had once heen a wver, but who had nerated throu con- tact with strong drink nd Feathers in this fallen angel all the d zentility that are so Bull. ced Kills a hlustering in_love Weed man 1 ing with picks who ter successful ahle rival cook, to the deathhouse, he le has fallen for and that the two are .

When Mr. Thalbers marries Norma Shearer, and his wages are combined with hers, the two of them ought to manage quite comfortably.

The company made exterior scenes in London, along the Thames and in other parts of England described in the story of father and son devotion. Wishing to surround the nuptials with the true atmosphere, Brenon secured a special permit from the bishop for his uncle, Rev. William Brenon to go throuzh a ceremony at St. Thomas’ Church in Chilworth 3 Rev.

Most of the cutting and assembling of the picture was done by Marie Halvey, for five years script clerk with Brenon and whom he recently appointed to the position of film edi- tor. “Tt is the best picture T have ever made,” is the verdict of Brenon, maker of “Peter Pan,” “Beau Geste” and “A Kiss for Cinderella.” The film will probably be released ln the early part of October. *Old Salt” AMES CRUZE, who directed “Old Tronsides,” was able to get many old “salts” to man the several ships used in the big battle scenes, but when it cams to get actors with the same qualifications he found difficulty. “We tried,” Mr. Cruze said, “to get men for the big roles who had actual- Iy followed the sea at some time in their career. This was, in fact, ab- solutely necessary. The battle in the Harbor of Tripoli was one of the most ~tacular and thrilling in all naval an, The roles of those men who must duplicate it were too hazardous to intrust to landlubber. “One sequence in the production, for instance. required the master gunner of the Constitution to lay aloft, in a heavy wind, hundreds of feet in’the air. He must be as much at home swaying on the rizzing as he would be | how Hlmself in a_hammock on his front porch. “The man we picked for this part is George Bancroft, who has had a naval career all his own. He is one of the only two cnlisted men ever sent to An- napolie. He sailed with Acmiral Dewey and took part in the battle of Manila Bay. During the war of the Philippines, when Lawton was lost, Bancroft was part of the searching party which went out after him. “Bancroft actually salled on the old Constellation. It was this ship, a sis- ter ship of the Constitution, on which he first lay aloft. One can imagine genuinely - interested Bancroft during the filming of the picture, He was so anxious to get his hands on a piece of rope again that he spent weeks in the shipyard while they were remadeling the old frigate, and did no small amount of work himself.” Pog’any Set ILLY POGANY, designer of the sets for Samuel Goldwyn’s Gilda Gray film, “The Devil Dancer,” has a chapter in Who's Who in.five coun- tries, and his native Hungary has honored him in a fashion becoming a | distinguished son with notable achieve- | ments. At the age of 18 young Pogany | abandoned railroad engineering to en- | ter the Academy of Fine Arts of Buda- pest.

Now, casting directors are said to the jargon of be human, notwithstanding all the things that may have been said about | them, so whenever there is a call for a moh of men and women who need not be well dressed or particularly good photagraphic subjects the word goes out to take care of the “tears’ first.

Miss Loftus’ impersonations famous men and women of the theater are ¢ great over the minds of her she is said to influence even their evesight, for instead of a rather plump, brown-haired woman in a blue | taffeta’ gown they see the slender, youthful Jeanne Eagles, hurling Ler defiance into the very teeth of the | man of God. But the English woman cays that this is not hlack art, but the knowl- pdge of one very simple secret, which enablds her to fuse hersell into very person of her subject. The voice is the answer,” she saye, “Listen 1o the voice of a friend in an adjoining room and you realize that person almost ‘more than if he stood beside you. Kvery nuance, every inflection tells you something of his character and eacteristics. The rich caressing voice of the South- erner, somewhat nasal tenes of the glander, the short cip- ped syllables of the Englishman— each is pregnant with suggestion. “Now, I am an actress and a_sinzer.

The New York Social register, not- withstanding the reverence with which it is accepted by many a good man’s wife, has had its share of kid- ding by the newspapers. The life it represents has furnished its fair share of material for an endless chain of comedies and farces on the stage. Now it is to get a new satirizing, according to an announcement by Paramount. Beery and ~ Hatton, the stardust twins of film comedy, having. poked hilarious jibes at the war, the navy, aviation, mountaineering and the he- roes of the fire department, are now aiming new arrows at the folk of the 400. Their next picture, “We're in Soci- ety Now.” it is explained, is to be a radical departure from the usual film comedy of manners or drawing room spectacle. Wallie and Ray in boiled shirts are out to make Fifth avenue safe for d!mocrav\' Film Fo]ka Take the Air. 'OR the first time, it is believed, i cast of players was taken to location in aeroplanes. This was during the filming of the Tiffany production “Lightning” adapted from Zane Grey's story The distance from Los Angeles to the location in the desert is about 160 miles. To travel this distance in autos would take from 10 to 12 hours, thus losing a_whole day on the pro- duction_schedule. To eliminate this waste of time, the director had a crew of motor trucks with necessary props leave Los Angeles two days in ad- vance, and when everything was set and ready for shooting, the cast boarded several aeroplanes and were transported to the desert, making the distance in an hour and three quar- ters. The return trip to Hollywood was also accorgplished by the same route, much to the delight of the players, who welcomed the cool of the upper air after the burning heat of the desert.

Billle Dove was horn in New York City, and her interest in amateur dramatics at school led her into the professional theater. Her first screen role was a “bit” in a Constance Talmadge picture “Polly of the Follies,” a modest part, but one which attracted wide atten- tion to her personality, her beauty and her photographic qualities.
