Women In Film Industry.

WOMEN have always been a con
tributing factor in the success OF
the motion picture industry.
For the most part, the work they
have done has been before the camera
and their success or failure-their des
tiny--has been in the hands of the
opposite sex. They have done more or
less as they were told TO do. Men even
told them when and how to emote.
In the script department of the film
production field they have established
themselves beyond dispute as being
equal to if not excelling men in pre-
pairing stories for the screen.
n remained for Dorothy Arzner to
prove that women can not only pre-
pare the script and act in films. but
also can direct the production of q
motion picture. She has to her credit
the production of Fashions for Won
en-" an elaborate screen classic of
fashion featuring Esther Ralston.
This film is really a woman's challenge
to the male directors of Hollywood.
It's qualities are indicated by the fact
that Miss ArZner is soon to start her
second production for Paramount.
Miss Arzner is the first woman to
direct a motion picture in ten years.
Hollywood records show that two
others have welded megaphones. But
Dorothy Arzner, the former script
girl" is the first woman director to
start her second picture. She has
been selected to direct Ten Modern
Commandments forthcoming Para
mount release.
For year after she left college Miss
Arzner cast about trying to decide on
a career. She is native daughter OF

Theater this week, starting this after

AS Francois Villon, the immortal
French beggar-poet, he loves 'em and
leaves 'em in fifteenth century Paris;

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Preferred.

At Crandail's Metropolitan Theater,
beginning this afternoon, the principal
screen attraction will be the William
Fox production, ANKLES Preferred"
starring Madge Bethany, while Vita
phone will offer as it's stars Anna
Case, celebrated operate soprano, and
the -Four Aristocrats." an instru-
mental and vocal male quartet. A
new two.reel o. Henry comedy and
the Metropolitan World Survey also
will be shown, and the metropolitan
Symphony, under Daniel Breeskin,
will present it's usual contributions.
ankles Preferred is described as
a spright1y comedy-drama in which an
ambitious young woman is amusingly
disillusioned. Her notion has always
been that in the business world mental
equipment and executive ability are
prime essentials of success, but when
she attempts to apply her theory she
suddenly becomes appraised of the
fact that personal pulchritude is most
important. The action Of the drama
is said to be enlivening throughout
and always safely on the side of
propriety and discretion. The cast of
the picture includes Lawrence Gray,
Barry Norton. Allan Forrest. Mar
jorie Beebe, ]. Farrell Macdonald and
joyce Compton.
In the Vitaphone presentations,
Anna Case is given full scope for the
display of her splendid voice in an
deliberately staged bit Of song, dance
and ensemble work, entitled "a Span
fish Fiesta" supported by the Casinos,
celebrated Spanish dancers, and by
the chorus of the Metropolitan Opera
in New York. The -Four Aristocrats"
are noted for their deft work on piano,
ukulele, Hawaiian guitar and Spanish
guitar. They have not appeared be-
fore in Washington.
