Wanted-Octavus Roy Cohen
For Wilful Wandering

Octavus Roy Cohen is lost--at least
the Goldwyn company, for which he
has contracted to write number Of
motion picture plays, doesn't know
where to find him. He returned to
his home in Birmingham, Ala. after at
tending the opening of his play, "The
Crimson Alibi." and a letter was re-
ceived from him saying he would send
on play within few days. But the
play has not come. The only news
received of him is that his wife says
he has set out on his annual visit to
the newspapers where he worked in
the days before magazines and theatre
cal managers and motion picture com
panies began to bid for his work. Mr.
Cohen was a reporter 1t was hard
work and little money, but those years
marked Mr.. Cohen for their own. So
now. when he has more orders than
he can fill and when he could buy any
one Of the papers on which he used to
be Cub" he goes back every year
and takes assignments on the old pa
pers. He walks into an Office, grcets
the reporters and the editor as if he
had been there all the time, gets an
assignment and goes out to cover it.
Then after few days he goes to an
other paper. When the round is fn-
ished he returns home and is a sue
cessful author once more What
strange ideas some people have of a
vacation!

without question. 1t is an. effect fruit
lessly sought by many and many an
actor and an author before now, and we
think it is achieved here mainly by on,
seeing our hero gradually acquire Il
deep fund of self possession, like that
of q man who really knows his destiny;
sort of reserve strength Of independ-
ence and security such as, in their diff
fering ways, tree or a king or a day
laborer or any great natural force
might have. This never leaves La2A
from the moment he begins to pal,
his real picture---not even when
snatches q piece of bread from his e.
emy's table, not even when we see |
wifc's necessity turn the actual wni
into kind of dclrium-and we Tin
it is this which marks his PERFORMS
as not only profoundly but except
ally imaginative.
In fact, as Il new star in that
which we never weary of trying
read, we had intended eXpounding NJ
O'Brien with all the learned analyst
at our disposal. We knew there was a
certain danger i'll this, unless we took
caro- not to say word about his ap-
pearance or personality, or admit that
his Lazar would have had any different
effect on us if it had been played by an
old gentleman with a beard. We have
learned that feminine reviewer is
naturally suspect as unable to dis
play toward young gentlemen with APP
pearance, with personality and without
beard that completely impartial judg-
ment invariably displayed by masculine
reviewers toward members Of the OPP
poste sex. But we hope we would
have braved this danger if one of these
very masculine colleagues had not got
ahead of us. He begins his review By
saying: mo doubt the women elected
Eugene O'Bricn as q star" and then
is enough When man says that Il
star was elected by the women and
yet that he cane help liking him, no
frail feminine words can add one syl-
liable. Praise can no further go.

Ono day last week the telephone
rang and when we answered it a brisk,
extremely energetic voice said: "This
is Guy Empey talking Ny press rep

scented to take luncheon with me to-
day at Claridge'a, but that / was to
call up and verify it,
"Considcr it verified" we answered,
with all the vivacity we could muster

Mr. Empey IS making pictures for

Excuse it, please" with far more
sincerity in our voice than Central
ever puts lilo neis. ARE YOU iatei
eated in titles?'
Am ~ said Empey, with convic-
ton. "They can make or break a
picture and they are the most inter
esting part Of the work as we'll as the
most ditfcult.'
"ParticularIy the conversational
titles" we answered. They are az
important as the dialogue in d play. A
title will establish a character as soon
as lie makes his appearance on the
screen. For instance, you see young
wife enter the library and toy with a
