THE EVENING | SECOND LATER Toe P ore e MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE MERRICK. HOLLYWOOD, April 24 (N.ANA.).— I Jack Gilbert maintains his attitude of silence regarding his personal affairs and picture ideas, he will enjoy the|Coas same reputation for taciturnity that Calvin Coolidge had as President. Thoroughly disgusted with the march of events, the stock market’s vicissi- tudes, the reactions of the public to his initial talkie and to the persistent curiosity of the general public as to his marital affairs, Jack Gilbert has de- clared himself permanently silent on all matters until further notice. Rumors from New York that Ina Claire had consulted lawyers anent a separation of the two did not break his silence. The mere fact of this actress entering the office of an attorney at law at this juncture of the Claire-Gil- bert existence would be sufficient to set rumors flying at record pace. Ina Claire left the film colony to see that the interests of her career were rot weakened. She is, and always will be, devoted to the stage, and she is thor- oughly conversant with stage technique. ‘But she also voiced the wish to make a good picture. All of these things may yet come true. Motion picture con- tync;.s are sometimes signed in New ork. And to Hollywood comes Frederick Lonsdale, master of the retort brilliant, | jn,, the line epigrammatic in such perfection as has not been known since Oscar ‘Wilde wrote “Lady Windemere's Fan.” Once before this shining light of the playwright’s _profession almost was snared by Hollywood. Joseph Schenck persuaded him to come to the village. But he bolted at Cherbourg—the two had started from the Continent—and returned to the precincts of the theater.

We do things that way here—work for weeks on stories that producers dis- cover suddenly they really do not own; turn down talented players at a few hundred the week, only to buy them back a few months later for many thousands the day. It is all part of the progress of this weird and wonderful entertainment which local producers are prone to tag “the new art.” George and Ira Gershwin forsake the ways of Manhattan for the ways of Fox studio on invitation from Winfield Sheehan. And Frank Borsage, the di- rector who never makes a failure, is given the enviable job of directing their first picture. Frank Borsage crowned himself with new laurels in the John McCormack picture. He made cinema history with Charles Farrell and Janet Gaynor in “Seventh Heaven.” He is a quiet chap, who barely speaks of his work, and then only when inquisitors pry some- thing out of him with persistent ques- tioning. And his brother and stanch ally is his assistant in all of his camera ventures. When a recent grmlere brought out all the crowned heads of moviedom, agine my surprise upon studying the audience to discover a gentle rhythmic tide rippling along the rows of the moguls of quickly made millions. Ninety per cent of the village elite were placidly chewing gum. Brilliant emeralds and diamonds glittered more gayly in lovely cars because of the slight oscillation which flashed the light along their faces. And the crowned heads of production had that contented look of a bossy cow deep in daisies and the satisfying cud. (Copyright, 1030.) . 8. A. monkey. . Anclent Greek coin. . Protect. .

In an endeavor to gratify his am- bition to obtain an education and become an architect, Hans Swoboda of Coalteld, in Germany, did some little reading on the subject and then started in to build a model of the Cologne Cathedral, which he finished not so long ago and brought the result of his labors to this country. The remark- able thing about it is that it is built almost entirely of matches. He says that 2,500,000 matches were used in the work. The model is 10 feet long and almost as wide. It is composed of 150 piecer, which fit together by means ot pins, hinges and dovetails. It takes five hours to assemble the match structure. Swoboda constructed the model by glu- ing the matches side by side and then planing them smooth. The tiny sutuu.l doors and windows are hand-carved from a solid block made of sticks glued together, .
