THE EVENING STAR., WASHINGTON, D. C., éo That Cinema Stars May | Take TIEB' Poison Neatly Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Announces Employment of a"Technical Expert” on Administering Bitter Doses—Montgomery's Book. BY E. de S. MELCHER. WO late news items from Hollywood kindle the interest of this department this morning. They are, number one: That Robert Montgomery has written a book about Holly- wood people which he will probaby call “Hollywood, My Hollywood,” and number two: That “Dr. T. F. McLaughlin has | been engaged by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to supervise details of | scenes where poison is used or referred to, as in ‘The Casino | Murder Case’ and ‘Mark of the Vampire,’ to insure technlcal; accuracy.

A studio toxicologist is some- thing that Hollywood has been scream- | ing for for years. How they have done without one up until this minute is a mystery From now on audiences therefore may be certain that poison sequemces are done in the very best taste. Dr. McLaughlin thus becomes the Emily Post of suicide. It should be a very interesting job for him, and he ought to have a very good time doing it. | Only, we wonder if he has any| I‘HF Metropolitan is being smart One Night.” and we hope that all those people who have written and phoned in about it will get themselves set for the event. | Remember when it same to Keith's | quite casually and suddenly blossomed | nto Gable and Colbert are in it—as if you didn't know! | with Tulllo “Little Colonel” S | Edmund Lowe, Florence Rice and | 3y Victor McLaglen, the chief players | 7 in “Under Pressure,” a new screen | 3 o drama at Loew’s Columbia. and bringing back “It Happened Next Friday is the day— Current Theater Attractions and Time of Showing.

His ideas. in conversation at any rate, come thick and fast— | and most cronies are left far behind. And if he has put in honest truths about his work and playfellows we hope there also will be a small part de- voted to certain illuminating Holly- wood scribblers, including something about the lady who was impersonated once at a private costume ball by none other than Charles Laughton himself. what fun, BE Sk K | h R MONTGOMERY'S book is a AT THE HOWARD.

REALISM AND BEAUTY MAKE | VIVID PICTURE “Man of Aran,” Show- ing Islanders as Actors, “‘Hit Film”’ at Belasco. ‘Whoever said all the good storfes in this world involve either sex or money failed to take into account the imag- ination of such men as Robert| Flaherty, director of the Belasco | Theater’s latest film, “Man of Aran.” In a cinema narrative concerned witi | neither of the two aforementioned elements, he has injected more beauty, excitement and realism than you will find in 99 per cent of modern ma- chine-made tales. | When Flaherty set out to depict native life on the bleak Isles of Aran, off the west coast of Ireland, he pur- sued two apparently divergent meth- ods. His camera was handled crea=- tively, with the same freedom of pice torial sense an artist might employ. That is, he photographed landscapes and people, not from the angles at which one naturally would observe them, but from the most interesting slants, this being the cinematic equivalent of artistic license. In wielding the directorial wand, on the contrary, Flaherty was eminently forthright and realistic. He used a cast composed entirely of unschooled | islanders; he pictured them at their | daily toil in the fields, on the sea lnd at the fireside.

In direct contradiction to | the little maxim quoted at the start of this article, Flaherty has made his fmple, sexless and moneyless story a corker. He followed five men in & | boat as they harpooned and landed ll huge shark, and the incident is, we promise you, vastly more exciting than the landing of s Hollywood heroine in the arms of her hero. He | turned the camera on three men in a | frail canoe as they battled raging | surf, and the struggle distinctly tran- | scends the thrill of watching a poor | but honest matinee idol make sudden | millions by the sweat of a script writer’s brow. By these same tokens of honesty | and clarity, the other incidents in “Man of Aran” are worthy of your attention. The native actors would be miscast in any other story or setting, but in this one they serve admirably. | At intervals the action is explained by subtitles, and there is some Gaelic dialogue, parts of which you can un- derstand. The Belasco program this week in- cludes a rather dreary short, “From Dawn to Dawn,” which seems longer. |~ Here is arty reallsm with a ven- geance, and homespun acting of the cruelest sort.
