Moderan Siam is one of the
great show places of the changing
East, a place struggling between
semi. barbarism and the ultra-mod-
ern outstretching spirit of the

Some time ago a wonderful film
called Chang put Siam on the
popular map. but it illustrated
only certain phases Of life in the
jungle. Burton Holmes, who has
been all over this marvellous coun-
try, now completes the picture. At
the National Theater on Thursday
afternoon. December 6. he is to
reveal for the first time on an
American screen the real story of
Siamese art and architecture, his
tory and industry. customs and
singularities. Siam has been
called an Asian Already" Lotus

: The invisible becomes visible.
That is what Is now happening
at the Fox Theater for Lawrence
Downey, the invisible master Of
ceremonies whose voice only il
known to Fox patrons. is now
making personal appearances as,
master OF ceremonies at the.
theater.
This is how it all came about.
Last February it was decided to
observe Lincoln's birthday with

Lawrence Downey was engaged to
read the famed Presidents Geftys-4
burg speech through the loud
speaking system while q spot
light played upon a bust OF
Lincoln. Downey read the speech

d contract to function as an I'M
visible master OF ceremonies, the.
first of the kind in the world.
From that day until last week
DoWney's voice told of the over
ture. He introduced the artists
participating in the stage presenta-
ton. He became popular and q
decided asset to the theater.
Last week Tyler Mason, the
bIackface comedian, was held
over to act as master of cere-
monies. Illness In Mason's family
necessitated his return TO New
York after the opening perform.

pressed into his service. The
thought being that as now the
picture theaters were constantly
advertising "see and hear" in

moment to have Fox patrons see

be added without fear of contra
diction, that DoWney has scored a

comparatively few men living whose

few of those who are alive are con-
cerned with the motion picture indus
try, but there is one Jack Ganzhorn
who appears in Zane Greys "Under
The Tonto Rim" featuring Mary
Brian and Richard Arlen, who is an
exception. Ganzhorn, actor, soldier
of fortune and warrior, became an
historical character when he joined
in the hunt for Aguinaldo in the Phil
ippines years ago. As a member of
General Frederick Funston's fighters,
Ganzhorn won fame through his ex-
plot of jumping his horse over an
eighteen-foot embankment in the near
capture of General LaCuna, one of
Aguinaldo's aides. Ganzhorn's name
has been placed in historical records,
and he is mentioned prominently in

its Neapolitan background, there are
more personal elements in the new

of all, the picture represents a cher

director. For years Borzage has
gone along turning out roundly ac-
claimed pictures like "Humoresque, y
9th Heaven 'The First Year." and
yet he hasn't been really satisfied.
The reason? Deep down in his heart
he has always longed to do a silent
drama localized in Italy. The reason
for that? His Italian blood Though
Borzage was born in Salt Lake City,
his lineage is of the old Roman stock.
