in course of preparation as James

proves that plotting a battle plane is

One of the most impressive things
about his career is that at the begin

the war, he sat at the officers mess

other pilots. The next day one fell

Strikes Out for Better
Comedy.

IN His First Flame" now in produc-
tion, Harry Langdon, comedy ace of
the Mack Sennett organization, will
depend entirely on his own ability and
experience with laugh making to put
the humor across.
There won't be a pie thrown, or
any other of the business usually re-
sorted to in comedies" says Langdon,
land no ope will ever see me work
on wires. Rather Will we confine
our efforts to clean, clever situations
which will commah6 audience atten-
tion and produce genuine laughter,
without deviating from the theme of
the story.
wild gags hooked together with
mart-cracking titles will not find a
place in our plans for production. If
a gag, no matter how funny it
sounds or may look, cannot be con-
sistently included in the picture, it
will have to be forfeited"
Owing to his insistence upon being
identified with an entirely different
type of picture Langdon sat in
lengthy conference with Mack Sen
nett, his producer, and Elmer Pear
son, vice president of the Pathe Com
pany, the distributing medium for the
Sennett product, and after mature
and deliberate consideration, it was
decided that stories with more human
appeal, in which the element of love
and romance predominates and to
which the personality of the star is
ideally suited, should be centered
upon.

by Adela Rogers St John, was adapt
ed by Alice d. G. Miller and direct ed
by Mr.. Bell, formerly we'll known in

sparkling, but powerfully dramatic
study in contrasts concerning a girl
who was thrown on her own re-
sources at an early age, when her
father was imprisoned for theft, and
the daughter of the Judge who sem
fenced him. Both roles are tax en- by
Miss Shearer. The girl of the streets,
after becoming a dance hall girl, is
attracted by a young gambler, who
also is gifted with large inventive
ability. Through her influence he
sells to society, rather than uses
against 1t, device for opening bank

Metropolitan-"T The Kid"

Crandall's Metropolitan Theater this

comedy, "The Kid" the picture that
introduced Jackie Coogan to the films.
Added attractions will be Lloyd

politan World Survey, scenic
subject and a musical setting by the

"The Kid" stands alone among fea-

Rialto-''The Sky Raider,
and War Hero In Person.

Capt. Charles Nungesser, the
worlds greatest living ace, is the
star in "The Sky Raider" the photo
play at the Rialto this week. In con-
nection with the showing of the pic
ture, Capt. Nungesser will appear in
person.
This intimate contact with a real
hero is real inspiration and will add
a thrill greater than the hazardous
air stunts in THE Sky Raider to
realize that this man, with his shin
ing courage, won the wars greatest
air battles-that, in a few years, he
survived more dangers, horrors and
disasters than are dreamed of by
most of US in lifetime. Capt. Nun
gesser's war record is los enemy
planes brought to earth. He was
wounded II times, was honorabiy dis
charged times and has been decorated
with high honors from every allied
country.
In THE Sky Raider" the opening
scenes show an air battle, in which
NungeSser experiences trouble with
his plane, but keeps 1t from crashing
to earth while bullets rain about him
Then a bullet that he is holding in
his teeth explodes prematurely, shat
tering his jaw. The war history of
French aviation tells that story
which is true. In writing "The Great
Air Mail Robbery" from which 1.-The
Sky Raider" is adapted, Jack Lait
has incorporated many thrills of
Nungesser's own experiences. Added
attractions are the Guarneri Brothers
who remain another week, giving
scenes and selections from Faust"
Mischa Guterson, directing the Rialto
Orchestra, will give as overture
"orpheus of the Underworld" by
Offenbach. The program concludes
with International News and a scenic

Would Avoid the Emotional

"TT would be difficult to find a
juvenile aspirant for screen fame
who does not want to play the heavy
emotional roles claims Malcolm Mac
Gregor. one of the young aspirants
of the screen.
THE young fellows coming into the
business seem to be hard to convince
that there are other roads to fame.
To me Douglas Fairbanks, Charlie
Chaplin, Harold Lloyd and Harry
Langdon appeal the strongest, and
there is no denying the fact that they
are the biggest bets in filmdom. They
did not attain their unique position
via the emotional route.
Il cannot understand why it is con-
sidered highly artistic to enact
those awful heartrending and soul
agonizing scenes, even though they
may be singled out as the high spots
in some of the great pictures. The
modern man in real life, particularly
the young man, does not shed tears.
He has been taught since childhood
that only babies cry. The young man
of today is perfectly capable of
matching wits with any fate.

have all emotional parts pass me by"
