N _the lobby of ‘the Ziegfeld Midnight Frolic, which has been reopened after a lapse of eight years, appear portraits of some of the young ladies who decorated the last of the Prolic shows in 1920. Among the lovely faces re- flected you will observe those of thy Mackaill, Billie Dove, Jane Winton, Jacqueline Logan, Olive Thomas and Martha Mansfield. All of these rose from the chorus to the screen. Miss Mackaill and Miss Dove are stars; Miss Winton and Miss Logan rate as “fea- tured” yers; Miss Thomas and Miss d died before either realized fully the fame which was coming to both of them. Mr. Ziegfeld's chorus has always been the principal source from which Holly- wood has drawn its more alluring ma- terfal. Dozens of glorified girls have memwlhemviesmdmmmdln greater or lesser . Foremost among them, of course, is Marion Da- vies, who stepped from the ranks into stardom and has subsequently earned her position of prominence. Other Follles girls who were Nita Naldi, remembered for her performance of vampire roles in “Blood and Sand,” “The Ten Commandments' and other pictures; Lilyan Tashman, one of the most reliable of the screen’s comediennes; Louise Brooks, who s9ored her first emphatic success in “The ‘American Venus”; Mary Nolan, who ap- ared inconspicuously in “Sorrell & n” and then attracted considerable attention by the excellence of her work in “West of Zanzibar.” Several graduates of Mr. Ziegfeld's select finishing school have gone to Hollywood by way of marriage. Kathryn Perry, perhaps the most bes them all, married Owen Moore, eventually became a movie actress on her own account. Lina Basquette mar- ried the late Sam Warner, and she is now one of the most promising of the younger players of the talkies (which her husband, before his death, was in- strumental in bringing into being). ‘Mary Hay left the Ziegfeld chorus te play & small part in “Way Down East' and to marry the star of that produc- tion, Richard Barthelmess. Justine Johnstone was a film star for a while, but retired from that eminence as the wife of Walter Wanger, who is one of the few able executives in the motion picture industry. * X kX her revue impresarios have con- mgtnw ornamental talent to the films, but not to the extent that Mr. Ziegteld has.

Sherwood. who has made good in a big wagcin Hollywood. There may well have been others, but they're keeping it dark. In- deed, it is impossible to tell just how many film stars originated in the chorus. Not many of the proud ladies of Beverly Hills would care to admit that they were once one of many in the ensembles of Broadway. Two famous ex-chorus girls whose previous affiliations are unknown to me are Josephine Dunn and Nancy Car- roll. Miss Dunn has lately enjoyed ersonal triumphs with William Haines Fn “Excess Baggage” and with Al Jolson in “The Singing Fool.” Miss Carroll plays part of the title role in the movie version of “Abie's Irish Rose,” and she distinguishes herself by a beautiful per- formance in “The Shopworn Angel.” SRR The hey-heyday of the chorus girl will be uf hand soon if it proves to be possible dnd profitable to make musical comedies in talkie form. At least three such productions are now being pre- pared. Willlam Fox Is sponsoring a Movietone “Follies” of his own and nding vast sums of money thercon. 1t is regarded as pretty much of an ex- riment. Warner Brothers will soon ssue “The Desert Song.” The Marx brothers start next week on “The Cocoanuts” at the Paramount East Coast studio, and it is planned to produce it for the screen much as it was on the stage, with opening choruses, song cues, etc. It is my guess that musical comedies will not work well in the movies. I can't believe that the terrific license that they are granted on the stage will bt extended to the screen. The movies are too brutally realistic, too literal, to permit the grotesque ab- surdities which are the principal virtues of every musical show. Imagine, if you can, a tense love scene in the course of a romantic photoplay: suddenly, and for no reason, the hero says to the heroine, “But remember, sweetheart, our troubles will be over when a rainy today becomes a sunny tomorrow”; they then go into their duet, tollowing which the entire chorus—12 show girls, 16 mediums and 16 ponies—comes romping on and prances through the number in stomp time. There’ll be plenty of song numbers in talking pictures (there have been plenty of them already), but they'll have to be introduced as part of the plot. as the songs were introduced in “The Jazz Singer,” “The Singing Fool” and “My Man.” This means that the leading characters in most of the talkies will undoubtedly be represented as natural entertainers who are just bubbling over with melody and have to burst out with it every so often. All of which leads to the thought that, after all, there's only one Al Jol- Joan Crawford is the only known alumna of the Shubert extravaganzas son. (Copyright, 1829.) Movie Writers Matched. \NE of the past glories of the fast- fading theater was its press agent, now known by the more dignified term “press representative.” ‘Who, of the days gone by, has not reveled in his lurid storles of diamond Tobberies afflicting noted stars, or of temperamental outbreaks, or of lurid romances woven purely from the imagi- nation, but all intended and tending to bring the stars into greater prominence, and incidentally advertising play of the day? Nothing could back that press agent = mble < .ppmlehlble !rl[lc was , unaj . His line of work often forced him to vie with the playwright in providing interest and drawing attention to the play he ted. As an advertiser, he was known into its full glory.

But even here he had his rival. The movie agent, to the manor born and endowed as only the movie can en- dow its own, the one writer known to fame stands alone in all the world, in his own right, as the supreme bane of the dramatic editor. This fact is so well attested that it is useless to assail it. ‘The press representative who loyal to and lingered with the decadent stage, despite his countless and memor- able victories, has never quite approxi- mated the movie animal of the same type. He is too consclentious, too re- served, too supreme in his intellectual perverseness ever to try to do it. But now the dramatic critic of the LOWT *THE SHOW WITHOUT EQUAL® N A METRO-COLOWYN "MAYEN SOUND PICTUNE stage has stepped into the unequal con- test, and judged by his work in lauding “Following Thru,” a recent musical production launched by Schwab and Mandel, producers of “Queen High,” “The Desert Song,” “Good News” and “The New Moon,” the tyrannical and heretofore unassailable movie press agent bids fair to give way to superior craftsmanship. One crotic of a leading New York daily describes the latest Schwab and Mandel creation as “A frenzied and original carnival. ‘The audience fairly burst with approval.” Another says “It is an- other sure-fire hit, with ginger in its every vein” Another, “Eclipses all rivals, not surpassed by any musical comedy in New York”; stiil another, “A hilarious, breath-taking entertainment,” and yet another, “It is utterly impossi- ble to pick a single flaw in the entire show,” while yet another describes it as “A large, handsome and gorgeously breathless entertainment.” Surely, after this, and these ardent champions of the vernacular, the movie shall not further pass, the speaking stage shall not vanish from the sight of man. But, let it also be asked, is the dra- matic critic to send even the movie press agent hurtling into oblivion? — They Belong Here.

A Screen “Show Boa NTEREST attaches to the announce- ment that Carl Laemmle, head of the Universal Film Co., and Florenz Zleg- feld have completed an agreement by which Universal obtains the right to reproduce in the screen version of Edna Ferber's “Show Boat” all of the Ziegfeld ni\n[erla] used in the musical stage ver- slon. The picture version, without sound effects, had already been completed, Miss Ferber, as a matter of fact, having contracted for a movie presentation of her work even before she had any idea of its operatta potentialities. Under the recent agreement the whole film is to be remade with all the songs and features which made it such a success in New York and London. Helen Mor- gan will sing two songs, Julius Bledsoe will sing “Old Man River” and one other, and Aunt Jemima, with a chorus of 30 Negro voices, will render the theme song. Details of the deal between Messrs. Laemmle and Ziegfeld are spangled with fabulous sums of money exchanged (it is revealed that more than $15,000 was expended in long-distance tolis alone between Los Angeles and Palm Beach) and statistics on the elaborate plans { being made to create a worthy screen successor to the popular stage “Show Boat.” In the picturization Laura La Plante | has the part of Magnolia, Joseph Schild- kraut playing Ravenal and Otis Harlan the role of Capt.

The other picture, very likely, will be “Disraeli,” the Louis N. Parker play, an Arliss masterpiece of characterization, which was made into a photoplay before the advent of the dialogue picture. It is said Mr. Arliss expects to have a new play for the stage next year and that it is also likely he will make a third photoplay of the sound type. scheduled for early MR.

INTHROP AMES, who directed the production of “The Merchant of Venice,” with George Arliss as Shylock, is reported to be in London looking over the plays now on view in the Brit- is metropolis. This is his first visit there since he staged Kaufman and { Connelly’s “Beggar on Horseback™ in that city. Thus far “The Merchant of Venice” has been Mr. Ames’ only venture, and this he presented in New York last season. Mr. Ames never produces a | drama, it is said, which does not inter- est him, no matter how promising it may appear as a possible financlal sue- cess, and unless he finds a play in England it is doubtful that he will make a new production this season. The Literati Sign Up. TWO noted British writers have re- cently turned their pens toward the screen. They arc H. G. Well, novelist and _historian, and Arnold Bennett, novelist and essayist. Wells has_signed a contract to turn out six motion_picture scenarios, and Bennetl has written his first screen play, “Picca- dilly,”_recently produced in London with’ Gilda Gray as the star. World Wide Pictures announces that the film will be imported for American approval, to be released early in the Sprin 1t is understood that Mr. Wells has finished his first seript, but it has not yet gone into produciion. It only re- mains for George Bernard Shaw to capitulate to complete the trio of cele- brated English writers now doing screen work. The Fight Is On! THE relative popularity of a Vitaphone picture and stage play was the ob- ject of a recent test in San Diego, Calif., when Warner Bros. all-talking pro- duction, “On Trial” played at the Su- perba Theater simultaneously with the presentation of a stage version of “On Trial” at the Savoy Theater in the same city. An accurate check on the attendance at both houses revealed that, although the Savoy ordinarily doss capacity business, it did not have one full house during the week that Vitaphone was its competitor, the War- ners announce. On the other hand the picture was shown to standing- room every day. Natural Dramatic Ability. THERE are times when extras in the film colony in Hollywood manage to get along a whole day without spending anything for food. Some- times this is due to a depleted pocket- book and occasionally to a job in a picture in which there are luncheon d dinner sequences during which 1 food is consumed. Seldom, how- ever, were hungry extras treated to such a feast as was provided for them during the making of “Girls Gone Wild” on the Fox lot. This is a story of a fast stepping crowd of high school boys and girls in which Nick Stuart and Sue Carol have the leads. One of the scenes calls for a party in the home of the wealthy heroine, during which such dainties as roast turkey, hors d'oeuvres, cakes and ices are served to the hun- gry youngsters. For once these aspirants to film fame required no direction as to how to act. They were simply told to act naturally hungry and they could do it “with my eyes shut,” as one little flap- per remarked. e or second week A PARAMOUNT fiDirected by a man who himself shot down seven planes, this spectacular drama of the flying fighters, their loves, their war adventures, Is the greatest screen at- traction in history. fiNever has any mo- tion picture imparted such reallsm to_its hrilled beholders!

Looks like competition with the news- paper dailies is in contemplation. New theaters of all types, costing approximately $163,559,000, will be built in 1929, according to a national survey conducted by the Architectural Forum, says Film Daily. This data, it is ex- plained, is based on confidential reports from 2,057 architects. In “Wolf Song,” featuring Lupe Velez, Gary Cooper and Louis Wolheim, which is to have a synchronized score com- posed of original songs, Miss Velez is to sing several Spanish songs and Gary Cooper and a chorus of mountain men will sing ballads of the type popular in 1840, the period of the film story. Warner Baxter is said to have him- self written the song he sings in “In | Old Arizona.” Twenty organizations, representing the backbone of the motion picture indus- try, have resources aggregating $755,- 963.462, according to Film Daily’s Year Book for 1929. There is undoubtedly something wrong with the present calendar, which 13 months to the year will not cure. Not so long ago picture houses started their new week on Sunday: then some changed to Saturday, and now there is a strong trend toward opening the “new week” on Friday. Chicago houses are the latest to do this. Raymond Hitchcock, the stage come- dian, has been engaged to make a series of short Movietone sketches for Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer, at the New York studio. Dorothy Arzner, the woman director, has been assigned to direct not only Clara Bow's_ first “all-talkie,” called “The Wild Party,” but also Charles “Buddy” Rogers’ next picture, “Young Sinners.” Ivan Linow, “the Russian lion,” who forsook the wrestling game to wrestle with the movies, is said to give an ex- hibition of the Russian language “as she is spoke” in “In Old Arizona.” The first official reaction to sound pictures seems outlined in Film Daily's statement, January 24, that “Trimming of production schedules provided for in tentative plans of major companies for 1929-30, may be followed by further re- FILMOGRAMS Bits From the Studios and Theaters. ! canoes, based on the situation concerning in- stallations, prices of synchronization equipment and continued public favor of sound films, plus the necessity for securing higher grosses on each par- ticular picture.” It is a fact apparent to any one that the cost of sound pictures is m greater than the cost of silent pictures all else being equal, and that fact alone. now that the exhibitors have organized with Abram F. Myers as their efficlent legal executive, is going to have its effect on sound picture production, for the exhibitors are not concealing the fact that they do not propose to be gouged in any way. ‘The censors of Ontario, Canada, when “Underworld” was offered for exhibition in that city, compelled the exhibitors to change the title to “Obey the Law.” It made all the difference in the world in box office receipts Film Arts Guild has obtained the rights to a new picture, “The March of the Machines,” produced by a young UKr: ian director, Eufene Deslaw. seems to be a purpose behind the of that picture. Bela Logusi, who was seen as the star of “Dracula” in New York, has beer engaged for a role in the First National vitaphone picture “Prisoners,” which stars Corinne Griffith. Emil Jannings is to be starred in “The Concert,” the play by Herman Blair, in which Leo Ditrichstein starred for many seasons, except that the Jannings pr sentation will be in picture form. John Gilbert's latest star picture is to be called “Desert Nights.” In these days of colossal mergers, with rumors afloat that Fox is negotiating for the purchase of Loew’s, Inc., and Para- mount is to have an_intimate working agreement with the Radio Corporation of America, it seems not unreasonable to expect that it will not be long before the entire amusement business is to pa: under one control—and then what Iz going to happen?

In the course of the rapid-fire action characteristic of serials, Miller has ridden rapids in taken ski jumps, ridden horses of every degree of wildness, zipped through the ocean in a power boat, speeded countless miles in motor cars and airplanes.
