MOVIE PREM|ERES
 THRILL LOCKERS
First ShoWings of Pictures Are
 Exciting

Hollywood. Cal. Aug. 9. R- Those people who crowd around the entrance of motion picture theater on a big opening night in or near Hollywood see a brilliant pageant with stellar cast.
 The night sky above them is awhirl with flashing searchlights The street flames with bunting and slitters with arc-lights. Roofs across the street are full of specta- tors. There are heads in every window Flappers cling to fire escapes and chamber to the tops of parked automobiles.
 It is really big night, and celeb rites are here by the hundreds. Mary Pickford gets a big hand from the crowd as she steps into the lake of light with her husband, Douglas Fairbanks. And how Gloria Swanson thrills the throng, Her husband, the Marquis de la Falaise. seems to enjoy it. John Gilbert arrlyes with a party of bachelors. Sciin, the Japane SC character actor, stops the show when he arrives in conventional black with Madame Soiin all color ful in oriental costume.
 'Ah." gasps the crowd as an- other splash of color bursts into view. It IS Tom Mix, in a purple tuxedo, a purple cloak and broad. black somhrero. He stops to shake hands with youngsters who have wriggled their way to the very edge of the path of glory. Back in the crowd other children wave hands from atop the shoulders of their parents.
 Amplifiers are believing the names of arrivals: Mae Busch - the Schildkrauts Rudolph and Jcsoph-.Tack Holt-Marie Provost -Bessie Lovc-Wallace Beery- Raymond Hatton-Colleen Moore Rod LaRocaue and Wilma Banl:.'- Dolores del Rio-Laura 1.aPlante Bebe Daniels and Charlie Paddock --Ernest Torrence--C. B. DeMille.
 Ermine wraps apparently are sold by the dozen in Hollywood. There is Betty Blythe in one, and Lya de Putti, and there are scores of others.
 Here comes Mayor Cryer of Los Angeles. And Mayor Rolph of San Francisco. Will Hays, head of the picture industry, poses for the news cameras with David Wark Griffith.
 Marie Dressler. slap-sticl heroine of yesteryear. clowns past the cameras.
 Lew Cody and Mabel Normand are easily recognized. Harold Lloyd, without his glasses fools the crowd for a while So does Ion Clancy.
 Florists delivery cars arrive with bouquets. There are groans, curses and shoves in the crowd. A pickpockct is arrested and drag ged away. The ihrong becomes restless; the amplifiers below: Folks. let's show the police how well we can behave
 Ten o'clock arrives before the stars are all in their seats. Then the crowd dwindles, but does not disperse. At midnight the entrance still is surrounded. and across the street dozens of girls are sitting on soap-boxes. waiting for the show to end.
 They did not sec John Gilbert and Ronald Colman go in: but they certainly intend to see them come out.

1 Following in the wake of such phe-

 The untold host who admire the work of this great author, the most popular writer of American letters, will well come with open arms "Laddie", which will be seen at the Liberty theatre Sunday. Nothing Mrs. Porter ever wrote is more redolent of that great tolerant understanding spirit, that wholesomeness and that warmth of human sympathy which was so trag- ically snatched from the world when an unfortunate motor accident in Los Angeles snuffed out the genius that made countless millions love her and stilled forever the pen that for IT
