THE HAIRY APE
Is DOING A
COMEDY

Two Arabian knights a pre-
tentious comedy screen offering,
has been completed and pre-view-
ed. 1t will not be released, how
ever, until early in the fall,
according to John w. Considine,
jr.. who supervised the filming OF
the production at the United
Artists studio.
Two Arabian Knights is ex-
pected to be the forerunner of a
series of elaborate feature.length
comedies, producers recognizing a
big public demand for this type
of screen presentation.
The United Artists picture was
produced on a big scale and was
made by Caddo Productions, new
United Artists unit.
The film is based on a maya.
zine story of the same name by
Donald McGibney, and was screen
ed in a background of Oriental
splendor, ranking the production
as comedy spectacle of the first
class.
The story concerns the humor.

American doughboys, played by
William Boyd, the DeMille star,
and Louis Wolheim. the famous

ELSA BRINGS OUT
THE FAMILY
PLATE

Elsa Ersi. beautiful young Hun
garian prima donna. appearing at
B. F. Keith's this week, wears a
necklace with her Hungarian cos.
tune which has been In her fathers
family for over $50 years. 1t
hasn't very much intrinsic value,
but to Nile. Ersi 1t means great
deal. It is one of the many family
relics which they were forced to
bury underground after the war,
when all nobility was engangered
by the revolutionists.
Mile. Ersi's family was very
much opposed to her stage career.
However, when she made her debut
in the title role of the Merry
Widow" at the graduation exer-
cises of the dramatic academy,
which she attended secretly, her
parents finally consented. 1t was
on that occasion that her father
presented her with this exquisite
necklace.
Mile. Ersi's first appearance in
America was in Moonlight,
where she played the part of a
French girl. Later she was starred
by Florenz Ziegfeld, IT., in Louis
the Fourteenth with Leon Enrol.

She was a. youngster then, in
her early teens, with no training
or experience along professional
lines, only boundless energy and
a great desire to be on the stage,
a desire shared, of course, by
nine-tenths of all girls when they
are in their early teens. Only
Rae didn't take it out in wistful
yearning. She went and got her
self job in the little nickelodeon,

Miss Samuels said. "A simply
staggering amount of money. Moth.
ing I've earned since has given
me as much of a thrill as that

go on to say, but her interviewer
was nevertheless aware that she
has just renewed a three-year
contract with the B. F. Keith
Albee Vaudeville Exchange at a
weekly remuneration that mounts
into four figures.
I was so sure that $35 was
all the money in the world" she
continued, that it never occurred
to me to look for anything bet

picture in which Clancy played
an Oriental clear through the pic

The character is that OF a
powerful mandarin, third man Of

whose strange power almost sug-

CENTRAL PUTS
ON PICTURE
SCOOP

A scoop has been scored by Gran
dall's Central Theater on Ninth
Street, between D and E, in secur-
ing for exclusive presentation on
the screen, today only, the day
on which Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh will be received in the Ma
tional Capital and decorated by
the President of the United
States. Of Emory Johnson's pic
turization of another magnificent
page in the history Of American
aviation which he has given the
title Of ''The Nonstop Eight
This photodramatic study in
aeronautics was suggested by the
epochal Hawaiian flight which, al.
though unsuccessful in final culmi-
nation, demonstrated the courage
and ability of the Navy filters and
was produced with the special co.
operation of the United States
Navy, with a dramatic story woven
wildly and powerfully against
spectacular background of naval
forces, including dreadnaughts, de-
stroyers, submarines and sea-
planes, among them the gigantic
PN-9, famous in aviation history.
"The Nonstop Flight" is further
notable by reason of the fact that
two Of the PN-9 pilots who partici-
pated in the transpacific hop take
part in the action of the picture.
These airmen are Skies Pope and
Otis Stantz.
While the basis of the nonstop
flight is unrelated to the achieve
ment of Colonel Lindbergh and
Clarence Chamberlin, it neverthe.
less depicts in impressive fashion
the problems and the dangers
which were confronted and over
come by the filters who, this spring,
have twice spanned the Atlantic.
