MUSEMENTS Ruth’s Leap S TUNNY, has come around again. And people seem to think something ought to be done about it.” Ruth Taylor speaking, the Lorelei of “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.” “I remember away back, about three leap vears ago, when I was a child, the season was & time for kidding ‘old maids. All the children really lieved that it was the time of oppor- tunity for the unclaimed prizes of wom- ankind. But now the ‘old maid' has passed out of the picture and I'm sure the institution of lolg year is on the way.

And if girls concentrate dur- ing the other three years, they really od not miss the fourth. “On the trip I made around the United ates to appear personally with my old-fashioned leap year new picture, ‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,' at the latest, it will be as obsolete as granny's bustle. ible, though, that leap year rtunity for gentlemen instead of for girls.

AMUSEMENTS.’ Year Speech: I learned some things that might be of use to some girls in making up their leap year programs. Travel is s0 broadening! “I've discovered that girls in one sec- in their offensives and the gentlemen around there become accustomed to it and adapt their defense to just that style. A California girl, for instance, has just an average chance against California gentlemen. They are quite as expert at side-stepping as the girls are at leaping. “But when a California girl comes East, or an Eastern girl goes West, she finds the gentlemen are not used to her novel methods, and really they appear quite helpless. Travel not only makes « girl more resourceful. but it_intro- duces her to more gentlemen who are not_prepared for her type. "IY there is any girl who thinks she should make an extra cffort on leap year, the only advice I can give is tc look more carefully before she leaps Statistics show that it is just as easy to leap into a Rolls-Royce as into & fiivver. It takes no more effort to fall madly in love with reckless wealth than with meritorious poverty. And consider the difference after the leap is made. “Leap year has opened up full o’ prosperity and promise for me. It ought to be a good year for all other serious-minded girls. There seems tc be no_shortnge of men. So I wish us | all a happy leap year.” —_Hollywooil_Pen Pictures. S prowis about the set like & caged panther.

Seven or eight vears ago. in Europe, Lubitsch was a thin, worried-looking youth, whose eyes gleamed with an in- t-lligence so peneirating that people were afraid of him. Today in Hollywood. in the Para- mount studio, he is directing Emil Jan- nings -in his latest siarring picture, “The Patriot,” with Florence Vidor, Lewis Stone and Neil Hamilton.

Actors Stay Young Here. ered In California, but only that Holly- wood cameramen know their lenses. “In spite of the striking sets and backgrounds and the highly novel camera angles, Europeans are far be- hind Americans when it comes to photographing human beings. Their cameras arc merciless and when a shows the first sign of age, the screen reveals “It seems impossible for them to bring character into a face and yet to | keep it youthful, while in this country | movie photographers practically deter- mine age at will. They can make the !old appear young, and the young old. ICTOR VARCONI, now appearing as the disillusioned husband in “Chicago,” can give a new reason, be- sides the good old American doliar, why foreign movie actors come .over here. Mr. Varconi has just returned from Europe, where he has been making personal appearances with “The King of Kings" and visiting old friends. On all sides he has been pressed to an- | swer questions about the casiest way of reaching Hollywood and a job in the American movies. i “They prefer to make pictures in the United States because they stay young longer here,” he explains, “and their This cleverness with lenses is respon- added, has given the brilllant Ziegfeld production a modern quality. The role of D'Artagnan is taken by Dennils King, star of “The Vagabond King.” whose splendid volce and superb histrionic talent make him ideal for the | part of the daredevil adventurer. His sweetheart, Constance, is played by Vivienne Segal, leading woman of “The Desert Song,” “Castles in the Air" and “Adrienne,” whose charms of feature and voice are familiar. Yvonne D'Arle, | creator of the title role of “Countess {Maritza" and at one time a member of the Metropolitan Opera Company, will be the Queen of France, and Lester Allen will be seen in the humorous role of Planchet servant to D'Artagnan. The cast also includes Vivienne Os- borne, Reginald Owen, Douglas Dum- brille, Detmar Poppen, Joseph Macaulay, Lewis Hector, Harrison Brockbank, John Clarke, A. Kline, Wilfred Seagram, Robert D.
