His Summer plans and early Autumn conferences will be in preparation of this next sound film, which will not be begun for the greater part of a year. Talking films are stabilizing them- selves. A year ago no one could proph- esy what they would be doing in eight months’ time. Pictures progressed so rapidly that those who made them were often stunned by results. Now and again audiences were stunned also, but not in the same way. It’s been a surprise affair for every one concerned. Every one just had to do something. And that is why the spirit of old-fash- ioned entertainment, dominating the studio revue, makes it seldom a good evening’s diversion. If Silence Is Golden--.

For the first time since the Claire-Gilbert nuptials, the village is unanimous in voicing their belief that the present separation of Ina Claire and Jack Gilbert (she is in New York) is due to business exigencies and not to any coolness between them. The weathervane of talk in this col- ony swings queerly and surprisingly. But how it keeps swinging! — Bookmakers on Strike. When a totalizator was installed re- cently in the shilling enclosure at the Albion Greyhound Race Course, at Glasgow, Scotland, the bookm: went on strike. Incensed at the ab- sence of the “bookies,” the crowd threw bookmakers' stands and stools onto the course during the races and afterward rushed the railings and en- tered the tote inclosure. lice rein< r%umenu were necessary to restore order, Janet Gaynor returns to Hollywood to be bridesmaid for her very good friend, Irene Mayer.

Just how many antics of this sort may ‘be indulged in during the run of a film career is doubtful. Shenanigans on this particular lot have met with dras- tic_demotions in the past. Janet Gaynor, the little exquisite of “Seventh Heaven,” isn't so breath-tak- ing when she talks. There is a ten- dency to whine monotonously, despite the fact that her studio heralds her as “the voice with a soul.” Her numbers with Charles Farrell in the latest revue could have been better without any great stretch of the imagination. ‘The little Gaynor may have to stand in the corner with her face to the wall. ‘The modern studio revue as it is now ited on audiences assumes all the features of old-time parlor en- | tertainment. l Daily Cross-Word Puzzle Sl sl ol i THE WIRE SAID T HAD QUT MORE MONEY FOR THE ARENA, AND OUR BANK BALANCE WAS VERY Low — ANY CHECKS YoU'D GINE MRGIC MY EYeE = = usep THE CHECk Book!
