Colleen Aiming Higher.

THE popularity Colleen Moore mas
l. achieved as screen star IS que
in no small part to the serious manner
in which she approaches each role she
is called upon to portray, whether the
n,cture be one OF her diverting come
dies. or a drama of a deeper nature. !,
To her. every picture Is new anu
fascinating adventure-eVery roie
separate personality 70 pc catelulIy
studied. and enacted with que consiueI
alton for the logical actions ana re-
actions of a particular individual under
snecific circumstances. A performance
riven with such sincerity invariably
Carries the audience with her through
the various emotions she portrays on
the screen.
Starting as a comedienne, Miss Moore
has steadily advanced toward comedy
drama. Happiness Ahead Is the flrst
of this new type of production. Lilac
Time" another First National picture
sees Miss Moore In a role that ike
wise embodies as much drama as
comedy. :.
Miss Moore's gravitation in the d.
rection of comedy dramatic roles is
said to be due to her conviction that
acknowledgement is the body and
soul of the present day cinema. II IS
in the delineation OF characters that
undergo a change, or development.
during the unfolding OF the picture
that the real genius of the player
comes TO light.
The screen has not always taken
kindly to Observation-Disclosures.
Rather 1t has preferred stock heroes,
heroines and villains to hero-villalns
and yillainous heroes and heroines VINO
start as one type and finish as another.
During the past few seasons, however,
there has been a decided change. Today
the average movie patron is accustomed
and indeed approves, OF leading charac-.
tiers who rather than exhibit model
virtues consistently, act under the
stress of a given situation pretty much
as people would themselves in real
life. These characters are convincing
They are called true to life, and there
for essentially dramatic in the true
sense OF the word.

The immigrant, says Mr.. Sheehan, Is

American shoes, saves up to BUY
American household appliances such as
vacuum cleaners, sewing machines and
ice boxes. and quickly develops taste
for Ice cream soda and "hot dogs"
AS a consequence the film industry
is going through the same transition
that is to be noted mere: westerns" are
losing popularity and the "superspe-

Audiences In Brazil and the Argentine

acclaimed 1t definite step forward In
the making of Aim entertainment.
Mr. Serrado now operates three the
