FIRST VIEW OF
COLLEEN As
A BATHER

A thermometer in quest of new
altitude records last summer did
not at all disturb Colleen Moore,
star of First Nationals new
comedy. "Oh Kay!' on the screen
this week at the Earle Theater.
For thanks to the scenarist of
"Oh Kay" Colleen spent her days
on the set quite comfortably in
that perfect hot-weather costume,
bathing suit. 1t almost looked
as though Colleen had an arrange
nent with the weather man to
time the warm spell while she
was thus CARRIED, for by the time
she was more deliberately dressed
for other episodes Of ''Oh Kayv'
she was enjoying the cool breezes
OF the Pacific aboard large sail
ing vessel off the Southern Cali.
ornia coast.
An unusual variety of costumes
are worn by Miss Moore in "Oh
kayv Her wardrobe for the pic
ture includes pajanas. oil-skins,
the black-and-white uniform OF a
housemaid. a motoring costume
and an attractive tea gown. The
weather man kept smiling for
Colleen throughout the filming OF
the picture and. the weather al

ACTOR SHOULD
FIT HIS ROLE,
RV SAYS

Should the role tit the actor or
the actor fit the role?
Irving Cummings, Fox film
director, who has an uncanny
sense OF what p4eases motion pic.
ture audiences, believes the actor
should fit the role.
He proved that theory in
Dressed to Kill" rated as one Of
the most sensational box office
smashes of the year.
With Dressed to XIII
launched on It's record breaking
tour Of the screens Of the world,
Cummings was given q some
what similar assignment to bring
Ito the screen Romance Of the
Underworld" based on Paul Arm
strong's memorable stage play of
the same name.
Cummings remembered how
well Mary Aston portrayed a role
along the same lines in Dressed
to Kill" and his choice of her
was inevitable.
The menace" OF the picture is
a character, Derby DAN" a sleek
young sheik who is not averse
to picking a pocket or taking
the earnings of a woman, with a
little blackmail on the side. Ben
Bard was the selection, and a
mighty good one, too.
A third important character.
very important, too, is Ed
Burke" a detective lieutenant.
Remember Broadway" on the
stage? Robert Elliott played that,
and what a performance! Cum
innings did not linger long over
that one, for Elliott is the king
Of detectives, either stage or
screen.
And 80 Cummings went down
the line.
When you see "Is.sesance Of the
Underworld" which Is coming to
the Fox Theater today, you will
sit through the picture without
at any time having the slightest
thought that you are looking at
actors. And that Is what may
we'll be called art.

The Washington times., 1928-11-24

From the day of her birth in
the little town Of Macon, Ga,
Miss Hanson gave promise of
detouring from the road her
doting parents had planned for
her to travel.
Somewhere along the route she
came to realize that she could
not express herself through a life
OF social contacts, only. For
tunately being possessed OF par
ents who appreciated her love
for the theater, it was decided
that. as test for herself, she
should make a pilgrimage to
GAINESVILLE, Ga, where she
taught expression. Teaching re-
luctant children expression vas
not entirely satisfying but now
she had experience; at least the
experience of expressing herself
through some one else. The time
was ripe Miss Hanson thought,
for her t. act as a medium for
the playwright.
But it was by no means a well
poised Southern school teacher
who made her assault on Broad
way. Miss Hanson was still a
very young girl when the chance
came for her first role, that of
the duchess in THE Spoilers,
Rex Beach's drama of the Klon-
dixie. Beginners luck failed her.
The play ran only two weeks.
But out of that failure came a
new and better chance. +. III.
Sothern sent for her and despite
other lack OF experience, she
found herself rehearsing for a
second lead" in Mr.. Sothern's
revival of "Our American Cousin"
Mornings she spent rehearsing
her part; afternoons, eliminating
her Southern accent.
After her appearance in Our
American Cousin" there followed
appearances as Julie de Morte-
man in "Richelieu," Ophelia in
Hamlet" and Katherine de Vau-

characterized Victor seastrom d.
recting "The Masks Of the Devil"
d Metros oldwyn- Mayer produce
ton, which stars John Gilbert, and
which is now playing at Loew's
Palace.
No one ever gets excited on 2
set where Seastrom is directing.
There is no e0nfusIen, no wasted
energy. Everyone is too interested
in the masterful manner in which
he handles the groups Of players
and the staccato way in which he
paints his picture before the
camera. He never talks to a player
while scene is being filmed, be-
lieving that that robs an actors
work OF all force, sincerity and In
dividuality.
Seastrom holds the unusual re-
cord of never having used mega
phone during his entire career as
director--and that career began
back in 1912, the infant days of
the industry.
He was born in Sweden and be-
gan his career there, but came to
America in 1924 to make Name
the Man for the old Goldwyn
company, Since that time he has
been associated with Goldwyn and
with Metro-G oldwyn-Mayer. Among
his outstanding successes are: He
Who Gets Slapped THE Scarlet
