Youthful Director Scores.

I EWIS MILESTONE, 29.year old
film director. is said TO have cata-
pulled toward the heights Of fame as
a result of his original direction of
Two Arabian Knights which United
Artists will release soon.
With a natural bent for humOr,
Milestone began filming this produc-
ton az a drama and wound up by
abandoning the script and turning out
pure comedy. with just enough of
romance and subtle drama remaining
to stamp it unique.
The original story, 1.-TWO Ara bian
Knights" was a magazine serial by
Donald McGibney. 1t concerns the
humorous and romantic exploits of a
pair of American doughboyS in Eu-
rope and the Orient during and after
the war, and co-features Louis VOL.
helm and William Boyd.
The script as handed to Director
Milestone was n series of dramatic and
humorous incidents, not unlike many
of the other war stories that have
been screened. AS production got un-
der way. Milestone saw the humorous
possibilities in the countenance OF
Wolheim, the Hairy Ape" and capt
Flagg" Of stage fame. The script was
| scrapped and the young megaphone
weilder concentrated on creating a

TO bob or not to bob is a question,
but not with Louise Fazenda.

of other girls. but that is as fas as

Now the actresses who have been

account of comfort can understand her
little smile in return.
Miss FaZenda says she doesn't mind
the restrictions placed on her head

FROM evidence already available.
the musical season of 1927-2S will
mark no deviation on the part of Jan
Ignace Paderewski. the world famous
pianist, from his steadfast and some
what mysterious policy of refusing to
play a concert engagement in Wash
ington. Although Paderewski is book
ed for a concert engagement in Balti-
more during the coming season and
another in Richmond, Va, his New
York management positively an
nounces that there will be no Wash
ington appearance. Nor is any hope
held out for a future enga cement.
While this attitude on the part Of
the great Polish pianist-statesman is
regretted widely throughout Washing
ton, there is a brighter side to the
picture in the fact that the fOrthcOm-
ing season will bring to Washington,
if not paderewski, two of the three
greatest living pianists, Serge Rach-
maninoff and Josef Hofmann-the lat
ter after an absence since the season
of 1926.
Rachmaninoff makes but one con.
cert appearance here every season. but

New Use for Bagpipes.

DISCOVERED. Music suited for
players in short comedies.
Nearly all dramatic companies in
Hollywood use music for emotional
inspiration. Actors and actresses
claim they can emote better to music
than to the monotonous click of the
camera.
But until Norman Taurog directed
"Kilties," Dorothy Devore's two-reel
comedy for Educational. none of the
comedy companies had used music.
The only reason for this was that no
one had discovered any funny"
music.
Director Taurog. however, found
that the notes from Scotch bagpipe
were just the thing needed to inspire
players in fast-action comedies. The
Scotch band used in "kilties" played
all the time T2urog was directing. And
he claims this music put just the right
amount of pep into the scenes and
kept the actors in the mood" of the
comedy.
