MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE MERRICK. HOLLYWOOD, May 13 (NANA)— A preview of Edmund Goulding’s new picture would get any movie enthfiisiast intrigued. Here is the man who wrote and directed the story which brought Qloria Swanson back. And the first query to come to mind on hearing of his new pieture is, of course, “Will he be able to keep up the pace?” He does. What is more, he gives a 2ar better story than “The Trespasser” in “The Devil's Holiday,” his new film, which was given a private showing Sunday night. ‘The story is consistent. It has drama in which the suspense is nicely timed. But more interesting than the story is the handling of its celluloid presenta- tion by one who does his job of writing, directing, musical composition, camera es and stage sets all by himself. lding doesn't allow a«single mo- ment to lapse in his picture ‘without action of some kind. That is vital in cinema presentation. The talking screen, most mechanical of all artistic mediums in this known world, cannot stand inac- tion. Silences, unbroken by motion, only serve to remind us that wheels are grinding, cameras clicking and grease softening. Nancy Carroll is the hard-hearted a wheat king into a marriage with idea of collecting -off money, said money to furnish lifelong ambition of a trip to Paris. Phillips Holmes, son of Taylor Holmes, is excellent as the young boy son of the millionaire wheat king, who is victim of an obsession following & tragic fall at the hands of his elder brother. This is one of the most con- vlncln[&unny‘h of many seasons’ pic- ture making. Most inte: choice of two ol s of all is Goulding's -time stars of the ilent regime who play Hobart in A righteous father and James Kirkwood as the provincial and bigoted son, Mar! are two of the outstanding elements the 3 Goulding’s musio is excellent.

One of the high-| whooplest was given by Marion Davies for Lady Louise Mountbatten during her recent visit to Hollywood. Eighty dinner guests were summoned to meet the chic British peeress. Marion Davies hoids the reputation of most thoroughgoing hostess of the colony. Her parties are magnificent to the last tiny detail. It is meant, then, that the house was hung with orchids literally from cellar to garret. The dinner table was so long that some of the guests merely got & slant at Lady Mouhtbatten, as if from the wrong end of opera glasses. Paul Whiteman's Band supplied the dance music, I believe I said this was a real party. But one of the most amusing events of the evening was the difficulty the portly Paul had trying to assembie his band of 42 pleces when it was time to make merry in a music way. ‘They had scattered to all corners of the vast mansion, and the benighted jazz was in a fine lather trying to round them up. But it was without doubt the most wlxuniflcem party the Mountbatten atterided during her visit in the gay and .

It seems that it is a mistake to make a general condemnation of the fly, for a sclentist has just come to the de- fense of the domestic nuisance with the statement that some flies are exceeding- ly desirable and perform a service to mankind = which would be seriously missed if the fly family were wiped out entirely. There are various kinds of flies, some of which exist by preying upon caterpillars, beetles, beetle larvae and other forms of insect life, which would soon make itself a serious nui- sance to mankind it they were not held in check. There is one fly, for instance, a screen play rather . Jet. . Ha minute les in lu.vbu partic] MHquid . Steps over fence. . Becures, . Annoy. . Slow percolation. 13. Ancient country, now Tuscany, .
