.GRIDIRON HERO
IS SCREEN STAR

George Walsh, hero of the current
Fox offering at the Hawaii theater,
Melting Millions" was considerable
of a star even before he was "appro-
priated" by the camera operators. AS
football player and oarsman he was
a star of Georgetown university and
his name will go down in the annals
of that institution as a model for
young men who will follow him
through the various stages of college
life. With the added distinction of
being a plotodramatic star Of the first
waters it is probable that his name
will carry added luster to the minds
of the college youths of the future.
Melting Millions" is another of
those rollicking conedy-dramas that
have a strong appeal to the theater
going public and always call for large
houses at the Hawaii. Spending money
and spending 1t recklessly, even in a
picture, possesses lure for the man,
woman and child who is at present
struck with the high cost of existing
There is something of a relief to see
a picture idol dissipate few hundred
thousands over night and this is what
Walsh does in this instance.
OF course there is a plot, also a
romance, woven into the story of
Melting Millions" In fact, there are
a pair of romances. but the main
theme is the getting rid of a large
fortune by a young man who fails to
understand that his father amassed
it for any other purpose.

1zzY SCORES HIS
BIGGEST HIT YET

If anyone in Honolulu thinks that
Monte Carter and his bevy OF song
sters cant give an imitation OF
Broadway production that comes so
close TO the original that the latter
just naturally fades out OF existence,
they need to see ''IzZy, the Peddler.
From the moment Monte shuffed onto
the stage with his derby and umbrel-
la, and tried to sell everyone he met
anything from pincushiOn TO steam
yacht, Until the final trolley car
number in which the entire company
took part and nearly started riot,
the new show is a complete, whfrl-
wind success. The first performance
was put on at the Bijou theater last
night and will be repeated tonight
and tomorrow.
OF course, Monte was the big hit
OF the evening, but there were several
other stars that were repeatedly
called on for encores. Ethel Davis.
who has been one of the most pop
ular actresses here in years, was
called back again and again. Her
biggest hit was the new song, backed
by the chorus disguised as Coleens,
she Never Kissed Anything But the
Barney" 1t isn't difficult to enjoy
the show when Miss Davis has the
stage.
Betty Buttrick made hit when she
sang There's Egypt in Your Dreamy
Eyes" The song is always popular.
but brought down the house last
night The chorus aided Miss Butt
rick in getting the piece over strongly.
The closing number, in which every.
body took hand. was the scream Of
the evening, and needless to say,
Monte was at the bottom of it. The
number The Trolley Car Swing was
something entirely new, and had it all
over Monte's former big hit, the "Lovo-
mobile"
1t is safe to say that the new show,
"Izzy the Peddler," is the most en-
PERTAINING so far presented. The au-
dience howled and laughed themselves
hoarse-and after all, that is the only
way to judge of performance.

fax from Ruth Sawyer's clever story.
Since her debut on the screen in
ITO Have and To Hold" the popular
ity. s>f the winsome Mae Murray has
gone up in leaps and bounds. In "The
Dream Girl" Miss Murray scored a
pronounced success, to be followed by
further triumphs in THE Pillow Girr'
and ION Record"
In "The Primrose Ring" this capti-
waiting young star is seen as nurse
in a children's hospital, and as she
herself was once a crippled child, she
takes an unusual interest in them and,
in spite of the disapproVal of the head
nurse and trustees, amuses the child
rem with thrilling fairy stories Of COB
Inns, elves, plumed knights and fairy
glens.
The little nurse has fallen deeply in
love with the handsome young head
doctor of the hospital and when he
forces her to stop amusing the child
rem with her wonderful fairy tales she
promptly resigns. =.=
How matters are finally straighten-
ed out and how the primrose ring is
woven about the little nurse and the
young doctor, and the fairies go mad
with JOY, is presented in most novel,
charming and wonderful fashion.
In the cast supporting Miss Murray
are Tom Moore, Little Billy Jacobs,
Winter Hall and Mayme Kelso.
