AMUSEMENTS. Flashes From the Screen By C. E. Nelson. HE cinema fate of John Gil- bert, whether it interests ou or not, seems to be a avorite topic with Holly- wood and New_York writers. The once-popular John has been on the shelf since his first talking re- lease, but a newer picture, “Re- demption” (with sound), is de- clared 4 regaining some of his prestige. Adela Rogers St. John, writing in the New Movie Magazine this month, declares that Gilbert “had several bad breaks and is now bid- ing his time before a smashing come-back.” Also, she adds, Gil- bert is more emotionally respon- sive, more easily hurt and less coolly balanced than most men,” and she quotes him as saying :“Of course, I am no intellectual giant, but neither am I a moron.” All this is very interesting, but John Gilbert will travel a difficult road in regaining his screen pop- ularity. His cinema throne crumbled to dust when his “Glorious Night” effort was taken from the can and exhibited. Never before has and probably never again will a screen player’s work be greeted with such a reception. It was almost unbelievable that a star could “flop” so suddenly and 80 solidly. Such incidents have been more or less common on the stage, and in such instances much of the trouble was blamed upon the vehicle used by the star. However, in the movies, the story does not receive the blame; the star is the target. The failure of “Glorious Night” was a personal failure—although, in my opinion, the producers should have shared it. e picture never should have been released for public consump- tion. While Gilbert’s new picture, which is really an old one with a sound accompaniment; is not de- clared a world-beater, the star is said to improve as a speaking actor; that he has possibilities in the future. The movie-going pub- lc, however, is not inclined to sit | 5 by patiently and wait for John Gilbert to complete his lessons in elocution. The former star of the silent screen will go down in movie history as the pioneer flop- per of the talkies. Why waste words abcut the matter? * ok % % ANNOUNCEMENT is made that opera is really going into the movies on a grand opera scale. A series of 40 feature length films are to be made, according to John Iraci of the International Broad- casting Co., and the first “Othello” has already been completed at the Metropolitan studios under the di- rection of Roberto Natalini. Manuel Salazar, a Columbia re- cording artist and once with the Metropolitan Opera Co., sings the title role, with Lenane Rivera, soprano, playing opposite. The next opera schedtled is “La Forza Del Dentino,” with “La Gioconda” to follow. All will be sung in Italian, and the music_is under the direction of Angelo Maturo. It is evident that the producers know what they are about when they plan such an ambitious schedule of grand music for the hotoplay patrons, but it will be nteresting to watch the reactions from the first of the pleces ex- hibited. And in Italian, too! * %X ¥ % IN an interview given out from his home in France, Eugene O'Nell], the playwright, announces that he is munf on another play, but of more interest is his statement to the effect that $75.- 000 was offered for the screen rights to “Strange Interlude.” The rights could not be sold, however, on account of a plagiarism suit which is pending against the suthor and producer. When com- pleted, the new play will be ship- fied to_the Theater Guild for a New York production, and “Strange Interlude” may not regch the movie theaters for a long time to come. * X x ¥ ONE of the highlignts in the Washington motion picture situation is the scheduled exhi- bition of “All Quiet on the West- ern Front” at the Rialto Theater. ‘This picture, unlike many screened novels, follows the book faithfully —the destruction of the heart as well as the body of the soldier by war—and it breaks down many of the old-time limitations as to sub- Ject matter and treatment. The Rialto, by the way, is in- stalling a new cooling system for the Summer months, and thereby hangs a peculiar little story: The theater has owned a cooling sys- ~tem for some time, hut when it was turned on not long ago it was found to destroy the sound effect. The ventilators shot the voices through the top of the theater, thereby making it impossible to use the talkies and the cooling system at the same time. So, the to aid the former star in| new cooling system, which will be | installed without closing up busi- ! ness for a minute. = | * % ok % AVE you seen the new Spring colors in movies? Well, any- way, the colors are new, and the | producers plan on spending $200,- 1 000,000 -on them before the year 1931 rolls around. Color is now doing what sound did a year or more ago. It is bringing bigger box office receipts. The Techni- color Co. made 60 colored films last year, and this year they will make three times that many. It is also estimated that 420] talking pictures will be completed by the leading companies thi year. * % b 'HE new pictures: Al Jolson goes over to the United Artists Co. in the Autumn, there to film “Sons o' Guns,” a version of the Broadway musical stage. . Ronald Colman has completed “Raffles” for Samuel Goldwyn, and Kay Francis has the leading feminine role. . . . Eddie Can- tor is now before the camera and microphone in a screen version of “Whoopee.” . . . David Wark Griffith has completed “Abraham Lincoln,” and Walter Huston has the leading role. . . . Jeanette MacDonald, Joe Brown, John Gar- rick and Zasu Pitts have the lead- ing parts in the new Friml musi- cal affair, “Bride 66" ... “Hell's Angels,” an aviation pic- ture, is reported to have cost $4,- 000,000 in manufacture, and some of those in the cast are Ben Lyon, James Hall, Jean Hawlowe and John Barrow. . . . The Harold Bell Wright story, “Eyes of the ‘World,” has a cast including Una Merkel, Nance O'Neill and Fern Andra. . . . Irving Berlin is casting his first independent pro- duction, which will be called “The Love Cottage,” for which he has composed the story and eight ongs. . . . Roland West, who directed “Alibi’, is now working on “Whispers,” and Chester Mor- ris will probably be the star. . . . Douglas Fairbanks, now in Eng- land, will make a modern picture as his next offering for the amusement of movie fans. . . . Gloria Swanson has just complet- ed “What a Widow!” and the cast of the picture includes Lew Cody, Owen Moore, Margaret Livingston and Buster West. . . . Mary Pickford is ready to start work in “Forever Yours,” and Norma Tal- madge is before the cameras in “Flame of the Flesh.” . . . And, as has been mentioned before, ! there will be no dialogue in Char-i lie Chaplin’s “City- Lights,” al- though the picture will be syn- chronized. x ok x x Short Flashes. EW YORK'S actor population is gradually moving westward. Bayard Veiller, who wrote “The Trial of Mary Dugan,” attempted to get cast for his new play and found that every actor he wanted was now living in Hollywood. Ed- gar Selwyn, who returns to stage production in the Fall, announces that he will recruit his talent in Hollywood. If you should care to know: The wedding of Bebe Daniels and Ben Lyon will take place at the home of the bride’s mother, Mrs. Phyl- 1ts Daniels, in Hollywood, on the afternoon of Saturday, June 14. And there will be a reception fol- lowing the ceremony. Jack Mulhall has signed a long- term contract with RKO. An Ben Lyon has signed with First National to play opposite Lila Lee. | ‘We have not heard of Jack Pick- ford for a long time, so it is news to learn that he is assisting Di- rector Marshall Neilan with the production of the Mary Pickford cinema feature, “Forever Yours.”| And, in the picture, Kenneth Mc- Kenna plays opposite Mary. Joan Crawford will have the| star’s role in “Great Day,” which will be dlrected:ly Harry Pollard. Lon Chaney 11 do a talking version of his former starring picture, “The Penalty.” The story was written by Gouvenor Morris. Ernest Vilchez, known as “the |John Barrymore of Spain,” has been signed to a Paramount con- tract. Rudolph Friml, who composed “Rose Marie” and numerous other | popular musical affairs, has joined hardt organization of Berlin. He will handle the musical end of Reinhardt’s first sound film, “Vie Emil Jannings is playing on the Vienna stage for several weeks.

Wanted Autofinphs to Last. Wm Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks arrived at Alexandria, Egypt, several months ago some of the men in the crowd that swarmed on the running board of their car were not content with autographs. They asked Fairbanks to write his name on the back of their hands and ears, in order to_have it tattooed on for all time. This is sald to be revealed in the story of their trip around the world ;vrltk':n by Miss Pickford and Mr. Fair- anks. Atwater Kent Film Winner. DONALD NOVIS has been added to the cast of Inspiration Pictures’ “Eyes of the World,” which Henry King the newly-formed Melnitz-Rein-|is girecting. Novis, who two years ago won the Atwater Kent Foundation award over & field of 10,000 singers in a Nation-wide contest, will sing a new ballad in the garden fete scenes of the picture. | __“Eyes of the World” is based on the | Harold Bell Wright novel, which reached |a total circulation of 1,350,000 copies. Richard Dix in Lawrence Tibbett in “The Rogue Sons.” JOUGLAS FAIRBANKS, recently caught just as he was about to sail for Europe, said that Charlie Chaplin gave the silent pictures their method of acting, and that Griffith gave them their form, in the sense of story-structure and montage. Mickey Mouse, the nimble figure of the cartoons, has given the method of the talking medium, Fairbanks be- lieves, and he has been waiting for some young fellows to come along and give the form to the sound med'um. This, he said he believes, Serge M. Eisenstein, young Russian director of “Potemkin,” can do. Lewis Milestone, in “All Quiet on the Western Front,” came close to it, he said. There will be combination of sweep |and physical action, with very little | dialogue, Mr. Fairbanks believes. He sald that Mickey Mouse gave the | rhythm of sound by the beats of his animated movements, and the actor | revealed that when he was taking sev- eral steps in_the silent pictures and then lifting his heroine over a wall VILMA BANKY, The star of the first foreign language edition of an American film.

Ever since I saw ‘Potemkin’ in Paris I have been trying to get together with th's fellow on an -idea and a treatment. If we can hit it off, and I think we can, he will come back with me.” | Fairbanks is not anxious to jump into the medium of sound without | proper tfought upon it, and, since he is not committed for release of his next picture to United Artists until the Fall, he is not going to rush into pro- duction until he has found the young | man who can do for the structure of sound films what David Wark Griffith did, according to Fairbanks, for the silent pictures in “The Birth of a Nation.” New Literary Form Arrives. | AN announcement that should make the bydding typewriter addict squirm with anticipation sets forth that “a new literary form” has been devised by the | Talking Picture Publishing Co., New | York, which intends to publish plays written direct for the screen. “Sound pictures,” says this announce- ment, * revolutionize dramatic liter- ature to the same extent that it has revolutionized production, if the prophe- cy of this company comes true. A new school of writers specializing in this form is predicted. * * * It is believed that the photoplay, now t¢hat it has achieved dialogue, is ready to take its place beside the printed play in litera- ture, lylng somewhere between it and the movel. * * * The company an- nounces that it will publish only scripts that have not yet been produced on the screen.” All of which is perhaps cause to won- der just what kind of literature “The Golden Calf” would make, if found Misses Marie Bonhest and Charline Springsguth, iwo of the dancers who are featured in the Hoffman-Hoskins Spring festival at the Belasco Theater May 23 and 24.
