Accordingly she announced Off

The latter firm has recently
taken over three of the Keith

HOLLYWOOD. Nov. s.--An-
other player from the stage has
been snatched from Broadway to
shine among the stars Of Holly
wood. He is Robert Montgomery,
recently OF the cast IN Posses
sion, and other stage produc-
tions, and he has been selected
by Director Al Santen to appear
opposite Nilnly Banlkysin her first
audible picture. The working title
Is still "Childs Fifth Avenue"

mated when II became apparent
that Rod La Rocque was unavall-
able for the role. Montgomery
has been to Hollywood before.
In fact he at one time seemed
bent upon pursuing q movie ca
reer, but things didn't turn out
as he expected so he returned to
the stage to await the call Of the
cinema which at last has come.
Dorothy Dwah seems so much
in demand that companies are
postponing shooting dates to fit
in with her work schedule. The
Canadian picture in which
Dorothy Is to star has been put
off pending her appearance as
leading lady to. Ken Maynard in
4 thriller called THE California
Mall" 1t Is a story dealing with
the romance of the Wells Fargo
Express company in the days
when this organization bridged
the continent with riders and mail
carriers who brought the East
and West coasts of the nation
into closer touch.
To the surprise of most of the
stars who were awaiting their
cars after the premiere Of Inter
ference, the announcer called
for Al Jolson's pus. AL slipped
back into town from his European
honeymoon unannounced, his ap-
pearance at the opening being
something OF surprise party in
itself. Ruby Keeler, now Mrs.
JoIson. stayed on in New York
to rehearse for Eddie Cantor's
show. AL will get busy at once
on the Warner Brothers lot star
ring in picture titled Nanny"
Speaking of the lineup await
ing cars after one of these Holly
wood premieres, there are regu-
lar batteries of voice smplifiers
so that when the carriage cal
ler' asks for a stars cquipage,
the actors name ecnoes for
blocks. and the thousands of fans
are tipped off to the various
celebs. Some stars names are
called a number of times. One
wise-cracker insists that in these
cases the cars are hired for the
occasion and the failure of the
stars to recognize their own autos
makes it necessary for the drivers
to go to the end of the line and
start all over. The biggest laugh
was when Director Eddie Cline
told the announcer TO call for the
car belonging to the Pacific FL
nance Company. And the an
nouncer shouted through the am
plifiers before he remembered
that the Pacific Finahce Company
owns all the Hollywood vehicles
which are being purchased on the
instalment plan. And their num-
Der is legion.
