TRIP
TO PARIS in
NEWSREEL

For the first time in history,
aerial motion pictures of Paris
have been made and are shown
exclusively in this country by
International Newsreel In its
current issue at the/Rialto and
Columbia theaters.
Ever since the war, efforts
have been made to secure aerial
views Of Paris but the French
government would not permit
them to be made until recently.
Then a French military dirigible
was permitted to fly over the
city and an international News
reel cameraman was allowed on
board.
Over the Cathedral Sacre Occur
on the Butte Of Montmarte, down
the boulevards to- the Madelaine,
out to the Cham Elysees, over
the Arch of Triumph and the

cadero, flirting with the gargoyles
CT Notre Dame and across the
Seine to the Pantheon and Odeon
the dirigible flew and the camera
men show these and all Of the
other famous and historical
points of the magnificent city.
1t is one Of the most remarkable
pictures shown In long time.
Among other interesting SUBJ

WHAT some OF
THEM USED
TO BE

1t seems that practically every
motion picture actor or actress
started off on the wrong foot. A
survey of original occupations
show that the successful stars of
today did not plan their careers
with the screen in view.
Take Milton Sills for example.
He planned to be a college pro-
fessor, and was a Fellow at the
University of Chicago before he
grayitated to the legitimate stage
and thence to the movies.
Myrtle Stedman was wrapped
up In matrimonial duties when
she discovered she had a voice
which led her to the light opera
stage and then to moving pic
lures. Doris Kenyon was OH
the light opera stage when the
movies called her.
John Bowers studied for the
law, but left law school for the
stage and screen. Wallace Beery
started as an animal trainer in a
circus. Billy B. Van was
brewer. Hobart Bosworth ran
away to sea, then became
prize fighter and wrestler. Clara
Bow was his demure' little pri-
vate SECRETARY when she won a
beauty contest and landed in the
movies.

Little French Girl"

Miss Mary Brian, whose mo.
ton picture career consists of
''Wendy" in Peter PAN" and
not much besides, went into the
cast of The Little French Girl
without the idea of stealing any
glory from Alice Joyce, who was
to play the part of Mary's
mother. But she did.
This unusual performance Of a
mere child, comparable only to
the immortal achievement of
Jackie Coogan, in 1.-The Kid" is
screened at Loew's Columbia
this week, where the excellent
perturbation of Anne Douglas
Sedwick's novel is being shown.
Pretty, immature but charming
beyond her own understanding Of
the term, Mary Brian's enactment
of the title role is so completely
disarming that the audience
waits for her to come on the
scene, especially through those
passages in which. actors and ac-
tresses, who were on the stage
before the kid was born, are un-
leashing their emotions and rip
ping heartstrings.
The cast is splendid-Alice
Joyce, Neil Hamilton and the
others-and John Russell's seen
ario was a good adaptation. The
story itself 10 fundamentally
sophisticated, but is written. act

ond starring vehicle for Warner
Brothers. Its selection to follow
THE Man on the Box" which is
now in production, has been def
initely decided upon, according to
information to the Warner eXecu.
tive offices from the west coast.
1t will be remembered that long
before he began a career on the
screen Thomas Meighan scored a
hit in the stage presentation, as
leading man with Frances Rirg.

METROPOLITAN
'I Want My Man"

Suppose you had been blinded
in the late unpleasantness, So
Called-which conflict has aided
so materially in making the world
dangerous for democracy-and
had, for the need Of companionn-
ship, married your nurse.
Let us further suppose that,
still in your sightless condition,
you lived with said helpmate for
the period of seven years. Do
you think that after that length
of time you would know your
wife II, with your eyes suddenly
restored, you came upon her un-
expectedly?
1t seems to me that it would
take a good second grade moron
to forget what a wife's voice
sounded like after she's talked at
you for seven whole years with
out interruption except for an
occasional nap. Or the kind of
perfume she used or did not use.
Upon the twist, however, that
an above-the-aVerage man men,
tallv did forget all these things
the cinema now holding forth at
the Metropolitan, entitled az Want
Ny Man is based.
Only the nice work of Milton
Sills-First Nationals great big
clean-hearted boy-and of Doris
Kenyon, his running mate, saves
this picture from good, hearty
horse laughs.
In sGS own unknowable and in
explicable way the movies have
changed the name of THE In.
terpreters' House" to "I Want
My Man. Why not Blazing
Souls and pack 'em in deeper?
There is nothing in this pic
ture the kirche polezie can com
plain about. OF course, there's
the usual movie version Of what
modern society dance is like,
with a lot of idiotic jumpings
and swayings and fixings and
trappings that never saw the
outside of studio, but that's
as standard as four wheel brakes
and the polezei won't even look
twice.
May Allison-she looks a trifle
old around the neck. to be ex-
cessively cruel-is in the shin
dig as "a modern daughter of
Jazz" as 1 have jestingly end
originally termed her. Deah old
May has been in hiding for a
long time. it seems.
Larry Semon, that most active
of all screen Comedians is seen
to somewhat dubious advantage
in The Dome Doctor in which.
for absolutely no good reason at
all he blasts everything in sight,
tears out partitions en- toto and
makes large use Of sundry gooey
substances.
Daniel Breeskin's music is, as
always, wholly satisfying. His
rendition of Herberts lifting Red
Mill is worthy of the generous
measure of approval given by
the assembled multitude. And
he helps lift II Want Ny Man"
to the level of passable entertain
ment.

But the authors and producers are

PALACE
Adventure

For those who love adventure,
the eerie midnight happenings, a
ship that puts out to a Inoonlit
sea with a ghostly crew, white
mans stand against hopeless odds,
there is good fare waiting at the
Palace this week. The featured
picture, Adventure based on
Jack London's book, is cracking
good entertainment.
The picture puts more empha-
sis on the love angle than the
book does, but the LondonesQue
ately. The love theme, by the
way, is, from the standpoint OF
originality. the best thing in the
picture. The unsophistication of
the young lady, who evidently
wasn't up on her modern read
ing, put rather strain on ones
credulity. butc we can pass that
up as a minor fault.
Tom Moore and Pauline Starke
have the leading roles, presenting
very convincing performances.
Wallace Beery and Raymond Hat
ton are the two vipains-for this,
being a picture of adventure, must
have more than one villain; it has
squads of 'em, to be entirely
truthful. Wallace Beery comes
dangerously near taking the hon.
ors. A little more time before the
lens and he would have.

There's punches of girls, pretty,
witty and with good voices; a

new and refreshing. The music IS
tuneful, too.
There are several big song num-

the chorus and the girls acquit
themselves very well. The light
