CompsOn
Into Arab Harem
In Desert Film

The primitive practice, now ex-
tinct, of selling foreign captives on
the auction block BY Arabian captors
is shown in Coulmbia's "The Desert"
which comes TO the Dittmann theater
today. The scene Is one Of the tense
moments in this picture Of thrills
and intrigues in which Betty Comp
son is starred.
Miss Compson portrays the role of
a French society girl, who has n
strange adventure after another in
the Mohammedan city Of Jebbel
Abbas on the Arabian Desert. She
is captured by a powerful Arab chief
tan, who holds her for auction TO the
highest native bidder.
The entire action follows, in close
detail, the practice once in vogue in
Arabia. The auction block is a repro
duction Of one still in existence, upon
which over a hundred beautiful girls
have been sold TO repugnant natives.
Miss Compson, clad in scanty attire,
is placed upon this block and then,
according TO the Mohammedan Gus
tom. a filmy black veil, Of twelve
yards of chiffon. is thrown over her.
The veil completely covered the ac-
tress from head 70 heels and laid in
folds upon the floor OF the dungeon
in which the scene was enacted.
Walter Lang directed the produc-
tion under the personal supervision
Of Harry Cohn. The cast includes
Allan Forrest. Otto Matiesen. Ed
ward Martindel, Roscoe Harms and
Frank Austin.

Replica Of Night
Club Locale For
New Haines Film

A replica Of a New York City night
club, complete even TO the semi-nude
statues, hard-eyed habitues and half
Z ad chorus girls, was constructed
al the etro-Goldwyn-Maye studios
for scenes in William Haines' star
ring picture, Telling the World
which comes Sunday to the Rivoli
theater. The cabaret furnishes the
locale for one of tht funniest Sc
uence Of the picture, an episode
where Haines rs the cub reporter is
sent to cover a mythical murder
which turns out to be a real murcer.
Sam Wood directs the production
with a cast which includes Anita
Page in the leading feminine role and
many players of note.
If some wise old bird of a China
man hadn't had a bright idea some
five hundred years ago, the American
r~aincoat manufacturers would be do
ing Just about twice the business
they are doing today. This was the
discovery Of William Haines when he
did a little private research for the
Chinese sequence Of his new starring
picture. Telling the World" which
comes Sunday to the Rivoli theater in
San Benito. Haines discovered that
the Chinese we're the original invent
ors Of the umbrella and that every
Chinese soldier carries an umbrella
into battle. IL il rains he stops
fighting and puts up the umbrella.

Ramon Novarro a
Whimsical London
Flirt at Capitol
What Is Ramon Novarro like?

What Is Ramon Novarro like?
To the public, he is one of the
most popular stars of the day, but to
Hollywood he is still a mystery. This
in spite Of the fact that Ramon has
been a citizen Of the film colony for
several years.
Novarro, who plays the whimsical
young London lord in "A Certain
Young Man." his new Metro-Gold-
wyn-Mayer vehicle coming today to
the Capitol theater, is equally at
home in lightsome vein or q romantic
role like "Ben-Hur."
Personally he is boyish. with an
enthusiasm tempered by a naive Gym
icism. Disillusionment has not made
him a skeptic-only cautious. He
has many friends. but few that know
him away from his work. He sell
dom attends film folks gatherings.
His associates wonder what he does
with his spare time. and seem almost
incredulous when told the truth.
