clever insight into human nature

ing player Sally O'Neill. Others who
lend an admirable support to her
are William Haines, Charles Murray,
Sam De Grasse, Ned Sparks, Ford

given to drinking and consequently
a source of much annoyance to her.
How Mike foils the plans Of a gang

heart reinstated to the position that
rightfully was his, is brought out
in a charming and laughable fash
ion.

of the most difficult she ever at

required to masquerade as a crown
prince and be the central figure in a
fight to save the throne that really
belongs to her cousin.
Royalty goes through it's devious
political bargainings and fits Bur-
banked ronlances just as in the days
of when Knighthood Was in
Flower" but it is all strictly up-to-
date, so much so that a good deal Of
modern history is reflected in the
story.
Spectacular settings, beautiful cos
tunes, glittering uniforms and gor-
geous gowns all help embellish the
production, The cast includes such
players as Antonio Moreno, Roy
Darcy, Creighton Hale, Paulette
Duval, Albert Gran, Max Barwyn
and Charles Clary.
The program will also contain a
Mermaid cbmedy entitled Cheap
Skates" the Fox news weekly, Hen

Hollywood

HOLLYWOOD, April "a. - The
screens emphasis on young love and
marshmallow romance doesn't jibe
with audience demand, if the result
Of c.. b. De Miles just completed
movie idea contest may be accepted
as a criterion of public preference.
This contest, to which $4,000 per-
sons from all walks Of life con-
tributed, may be considered as q
straw ballot of what the contestants
and the families and associates pre-
fer by way of film entertainment.
Subjects, tabulated in percentages,
show the following stress: IIistori-
cal, biographical and costume, II
per cent; Biblical, IA; spiritual, g.;
moral problems, 5.45; political and
governmental, 5.25; parents and chill
dren, $40; religion. apart from
Bible, $50; married life, 1.9; indus
trial problems, 1876; YOUNG LOVE,
100; ROMANCE IN GENERAL,
.O5; war, 1.12; westerns, 03; adven-
ture, .08.
Note the almost negligible place
given to sheer romance, and the de-
cided counter-balance of 'weighty"
topics.
Due allowance, Of course, must be
made for the contestants appeal to
De Miles known predictions, and
the influence of his Ten Command

offset by the producers announce
ment that he did not court Biblical
subjects.
The prize idea was THE Deluge"
