stage, and both, the producers be-

If Owen Moore the Selznick star
who is to appear at the opera house
Friday in his latest screen comedy
ssThe Poor Si1np," ever gets tired OF
acting he could make a good living
as "star" reporter. Although he
often has played the role Of a report
er on the, silver sheet, in real life he
has never known the pleasures and
pains Of those who constitute the
"fcurth estate"
However, it is certain that had he
dore so he would undoubtedly have
made good in large way, for he rs
assuredly possessed of that strange
gift Of the gods known as the "news
ncEe." Owen can smell a good story
out of mess cf vocal verbiage that
would look like waste basket mate
rial to most people.
During his stay on the west coast
Moore picked up lot Of mighty good
newspaper stories, and has them
carefully fled away for handy refer,
ence. He made the acquaintance OF
an old Indian guide while there who
was the source Of a lot Of news.
