Work All Night In
 Theatre For Picture

My goodness. why didn't you give me that part?''
 The envious questioner was Emmy Wehlen and that part was the role of a musical comedy queen who, in the dainty abbreviation of a fol1ies costume, swoops out over an audi ence's head on a Cower-twined swing.
 But Director John E. 1nce laughed at the question. for his beautiful blonde star knew perfectly well that one character was enough for her, and only craved the excitement of the thrilling swing through the air.
 The scenes in question were for "A Favor For a Friend" which is the tentative title of the story Lieut.. Ait Luther. A Reed of the Metro scenario staff wrote for Miss Wehlen. In the story a press agent conceives the idea of kidnapping his leading lady in or der to inject a little gratis publicity virus into his fa-st-dying musical pro- duction. The kidnapping comes off all right, but not with the right girl.
 The Burbank theatre, where a rnu- sical revue is staged nightly for the {. b. m. Sf Los Angeles. was used for the story. and the company arrived just as the final curtain dropped. Hardly had the closing chord of the exit march sounded, when Director Ince cried, "camera'' and his com psny worked until , o'clock the next morning. That was a new experience for the company. but not for the thea tre, which has seen many all-night re- hearsals of productions destined to become Broadway successes.

POLES

One of the prettiest dramatic nov cities that vaudeville has known is '"The Heart of Annie Wood" featur- ed in the current bill at Polls. It is a distinct departure from the tradi- tional in staEecraft, and tells a de- lightful love story in really novel way.
 Edn7 Pendleton plays the leading role and has a good supporting com pany. The story. concerning the love of a young country girl who is saved from betrayal by the dashing "city Chap,' is most delightfully."- present. ed through an ingenious scenic ar rangement. The scenic and lighting effects are a big part of the attrac- tiveness of the offering.
 Come Out of the Kitchen" adapt ed from the Broadway success, is the film feature. It presents piquant Marguerite Clark in a role that is most suited 10 her peculiar talents. The story of Come Out of the Kitchen" loses none of its attractive ness in the picture version. A Harold Lloyd Comedy and the Pathe News are numbers of the film program.
 Brown and Delmont had no trou- ble in finding favor with a vaudeville combination that was pleasing. Con- rad and Jones presenting a very hap py comedy and musical concoctiop. found a most appreciative audience and responded generously.
 Jerome and Herbert. two extremi- ties of comedy vaudevillians, enter tained most amusingly with a novel skit. and the program rounded out with a snappy acrobatic offering by the Three Nitas, who presented some really thrilling stunts.

May Start Oil Exchange
In Ell Paso As Result
Of Demand For Stocks

Apparently the "oil fever has
struck q Paso 50 hard that there Is
talk Of an oil exchange here where
oil shares in all companies can be
dealt in, as is done In many other
cities. Tom B. johnson said on Fri
day that he was seriously considering
starting such an exchange. Already
a number Of companies from Texas,
and one or two from New Mexico,
have agents here selling stock.
It is argued that an exchange
would have advantages in protecting
the purchasers OF stock. that more
correct and definite information could
be obtained and sales could be put
upon a more business like. basis than
the eurbstone soliciting methods, now
prevailing, afford.
