OF Polish Film Com nnx

One Of the events of the past week
in the operate world was the announce
ment that Richard Ordynski, director
at the Metropolitan Opera House, has
gone into the motion picture field
This announcement was made IN co,-
nection with the forthcoming patri-
otto Polish film, in which Premier To-
mace Jan Paderewsh will appear.
AS explained by his associates, Mr..
Ordynski's decision to enter into the
realm of the camera was dictated en-
tirely by patriotic motives For years
ne has dreamed, like Mr.. Paderewski.
of free Poland-of country which
at last should come gloriously into its
own in the eyes of the world. Dur
ing the past four years Mr.. Ordynski
has also been much interested in the
possibilities of the screen in bringing
to the public in pictorial, dramatic
form, themes and issues Of wide
spread inspirational and emotional
character, WHICH cOulu nOt be done in
any other medium
The film is being produced by the
Tatra Production Corporation, of $50
Nassau Street, an organization formed
by the leading Polish business men of
the East, and is the first Polish motion
picture company that has been
launched Under the supervision of
Mr.. Ordynski the picture will be d.
rected by Joseph Seiden, formerly with
the Universal Film Company. Elaborate
plans have already been formed for
the showing Of the completed picture

We were speaking of Louis Bennison
and his press representative had just
told US that he had invited us to break
fast with him at l o'clock. The press
representative smiled. You see he
knew Mr. Bennison and all about how
he looked in "cits." and we simply
knew that he was a cowboy-"a real
honest-to-Go cowboy" this p. r. had
informed US.
And then Monday came and / o'clock
came, and accompanied by the p. +.
we seated ourself on the blue velvet
couch in the Claridge. We waited
and listened, expecting any minute to
| hear the clanking Of spurs or perhaps
the beating Of sombrero on horses
TANKS as the cowboy rode into the
lobby of the hotel. Bill Russell did it
once in the Los Angeles bank; SO might
not Louis Bennison do it in New York {?
And then the p. r. said: maybe he
is waiting outside. ri go and get him
and he came back with two men. The
first we saw instantly was not our
cowboy and we learned that he was
Ira M. Lowry, director. Behind him
was another man, slight youth, stand
ing about feet l or so and weigh
ing, we should say, ITS pounds, with
shoulders yard wide and chest
that IL would take you all day to
drive around.
He was dressed with what Beau Nash
calls "nonchalant elegance" and his
shoes were the kind we lke-dark
brown with tips that come around on
the sides. After getting as far as his
feet at the first glance, we turned back
and observed that he had the whitest
teeth we ever saw and eyelashes an
inch long" $50 this is the way you
look" we observed.

bristled our nerves into quilts upon

of those to whom the art of acting is
sanctitied into fetch for intellectual

"Kick In" and ran, sheep after sheep,
