MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE HOLLYWOOD, May 31 (NANA).—| Mrs. Patrick Campbell is the latest of | . the famous to arrive in movieland. * " This_actress, whose name is associ- i ated with the most triumphant history i of the English stage, is seeing cinema- land_from the comforfable purlieus of an Hotel Ambassador bungalow and| saying little about her plans as yet. There was never a better field for great actresses who feel they wish to be on the retired list than now. Laura Hope Crews, for whom the lure of the footlights had begun to wane, coaches Gloria Swanson in her talkies, and with | .splendid results. What's more, she gc off about the country selecting n leading man types for Hollywood try- outs. When Norma Talmadge began a - talkie version of “Du Barry” she had| for coach no less a person than Mrs. Leslie Carter. This famous actress came out of retirement to find a place waiting for her in the movie village— and a much-needed olace, too. Mary Pickford is said to be thor- : oughly disgusted with results on her present picture. Whether the queen of movies doesn't approve of her dictional efforts or not, she has not said. But here is a place for Mrs. Patrick Camp- bell and her ilk—women who know his- - trionics fore and aft and who have Jearned them, not in a season or a few + rief seasons, but through the years of itter legitimate schooling which go to make up the finished actress. Cyril Maude, receiving congratula- tions from the heads of Paramount lot at the conclusion of a first rough draft of “Grumpy,” lets us in on the secret that here is another sincere effort which has hit producers’ expectations. ‘The motion picture industry did a very radical thing when it coaxed back from his Devonshire retreat the famous English actor who created this role and ~ who has for some time now forsaken “ the stage. . That his talkie is considered an out- J standing success is evidenced by the : fact that Maude is conferring on a . November return to Hollywood. All y sorts of plans in the offing—Lonsdale comedies; some of the things he has ‘ made in the past and loves. + Edmund Goulding may direct him.| He would like that, he tells me. +also has vast respect for the direc- MERRICK. torial ability of one Ernst Lubitsch. He has acquired reverence for the lowly “mike,” that Hollywood tyrant which makes the most famous tremble. Maude is en route back to England via the Grand Canyon to Summer in his corner of the countryside he loves. His main diversion there is training the villageites in stage work. They put on plays of the people, and this diver- sion gives Mgude his main interest out- ide of his garden and reading. The English actor has done two books of recent years—one a memoir of his life on the stage; the other, done with arles Hanson Towne, & charming g; studies of people he has en- countered in hotels on his journeys about the world; every one, from the lifthoy to bellboys, corner policemen, serving maids and fellow travelers. Hollywood is still Hollywood, for all these glimpses of the famous. A lady swished past me in a lilac town car as I left the studio gates—a lady with awe- some raspberry colored hair and spikes of eyelashes tyat threw one into a nervous frenzy. And, calmly seated on a curbstone in the sunshine, a street laborer sat doing a it of pedicuring. His brogan lay ‘on its side close at hand as he | gravely opened a small white package of corn plasters and applied one to the aching foot. Children of nature, living under a warm sun. (Copyright, 1930, by North American News- paper Alliance.) Rewards for Pirate Capture. British_efforts to suppress the piracy in the Chinese waters have resulted. in reviving in the British Navy the award- ing of prize money, a custom dating back to the remotist days of navigation. ‘The crew of the British submarine L- 4 has been granted shares in an award for the “capture and destruction of pirates” in the less frequented waters off the China coast. As ancient sea custom dictates, the money was pro- portionately distributed among the crew on the hasis of rank. The shares, as announced by the British admiralty, varied from a little more than $35 for officers of the L-4 He| to about $6.50 for “eleventh class” sea-' men. 1 | [HE cHeerFuL chervp] | eyl | When I Feel mean_and Kflm cross and bad \“fl‘ It simply drives me | | (fl“} wild THE Tof' meet = kiria | By orgiving sou With grfl‘a.r\gr\ebs el meek and mild.
