Navajo Indian Gets Chance.
GREY EYES, a Navajo Indian of the

GREY EYES, a Navajo Indian of the
- Cheelan Reservation, in north
eastern Arizona, it has been announced,
has been cast for an important part in
"Redskin," the natural-color picture
starring Richard Dix. Grey Eyes is
ranked as one of the handsomest men
Of the Navajo tribe His history is a
story Of the old ways of he West
brought into modern setting.
Grey Eyes few years age was a
prisoner in the Federal penitent:ary at
Fort Leavenworth. He had peen found
guilty of murder and was sentenced for
Life. Today Grey Eyes is free man,
and Cozy McSparron is his best friend.
CCzy is the white trader at Chin Lee
trading post, at the mouth Of the great
Canyon de Chiefly, which cuts through
the Cheelan Reservation like a huge
red scar.
Grey Eyes was born on the Cheelan
Reservation and grew to manl:oo1 wan
dering its vastness. One day driving
his two ponies, hitched to his rattling
old wagon, Federal prohibition agent
stopped him and started to search the
wagon. The agent made two mistakes.
His first was that speaking only Eng
lish, he did not and could not tell Grey
Eyes his purpose. His second error was
that he struck Grey Eyes squaw when
she demonstrated. Grey Eyes killed the
man.
He spent year in Leavenworth be-
fore Coy McSparron could secure his
pardon. And now he is indebted to
Cozy again, for it was the trader who
suggested to Victor Schertzinger, direc-
tor of the Dix picture, that Grey Eyes
play the part.

Maurice Chevalier

MAURICE CHEvALIER, idol of the
AVA Partisan stage, who is coming to
the United States in few weeks to
appear in talking pictures for Para
mount. is described by Americans who
have seen him abroad as being unique
in the world of entertainment.
Called the most magnetic personality
of the European stage, Chevalier pos
sesses the athletic physique of Richard
Dix. an irresistible smile, deft comedy
sense. strong dramatic powers and a
voice said to be perfectly adapted for
mechanical recording both in speech
and song. He speaks not only FreE?::
but fluent and colloquial English.
No magic wand attends the chronicle
of Chevalier's rise from the bleakest
poverty as a child to the most popular
figure of continental night life. In
deed, the story of his intense struggle
to gain a living for himself by making
others happy is remindful OF that of
Charles Chaplin. Sheer genius alone
could have enabled man to surmount
successfully the repeated and heart
breaking obstacles which were thrust
in his path!
Chevalier was born in Menilmontant,
near Paris, little more than 80 years
ago. When he was IL years old his
father died and his mother was obliged
to bear the burden of supporting him
and other young children. Even at
that age his dreams were all of the
stage, centering with natural boyish
emphasis. of course, upon the circus
and its clowns and acrobats. This am
b:tion caused Chevalier's expulsion
from school at the age of r. When
he should have been reckoning how
many sous would remain from 40 after
IL have been spent, Chevalier was de-
tected by his master mimicking a clown
who had captivated his fancy, and he

The associate producers for Para

Interference" in November.

0'THE bringing of this famous stage
4 play, Interference to the screen
as an all-talking picture is one of the
most significant steps Paramount has
ever TAKEN" says Jesse L. Lasky. It's
release is promised the latter part of
November.
with a full 100 per cent synchroni-
cation, with the human voice in dia-
logue, and with natural sound effects
resulting from the action of the play,
Interference is destined to become a
production of historical import in the
years to come. I regard it as one Of the
outstandingly important films of the
year, and for sheer drama, gripping and
realistic, the sequences I have already
seen are unequaled."
interference" with full dialogue, is
being directed by Roy j. Pomeroy. Dia-
logue scenes were arranged by Ernest
Pascal from the Pertwee-Dearden play.
The all-talking picture is based on the

Queer, however, did not depend
upon thu cultivation of the voices
he had; rather, he thought it
wiser to go out and get the voices
he needed. And so John Barry
more. was tempted, and Lionel,
and now AL JolSon, and Fanny
Brice and the feminine stars of
musical comedy, even Texas
Cuinan, that the talkieS may be
made to rival the legitimate stage.
There was a time when these dis
tinguiShed players, or at least
many quite as distinguished, were
scorned by the movie as lacking
movie technique and otherwise
unsuited to the silent drama OF
the day. Now, 10 and behold,
these shortcomings are apparently
nom existent, or at least not so i'm
portant, and the movie is seeking
to lure away the voices of the
speaking stage. What will be-
come Of the American theater if
this continues, unless, of course,
the sound experiment in the
movies proves successful, and then
what will we have? Silent drama
by shadows imbued with talking
voices and synchronized sounds.

His Secret of Success.

THE pail of prison atmosphere hung
heavily over Emil Jannings' dress
ing room at the Paramount studios in
Hollywood.
Jannings had just come from behind
the bars of a prison set, where scenes
of his new picture, Sins of the Fa-
TIERS" were being taken. CARRIED in the
blue dungarees of Federal prisoner, he
sat thinking the hopeless thoughts of a
man to whom freedom is but memory.
When he ate he did so mechanically.
paying no attention to what was placed
before him. Finally he rose and sham
bled out of the room, and in SLOW
measured tread, not unlike the prison
lockstep. he walked back to the set.
King or beggar. waiter or mailman,
Jannings makes it his business to steep
himself in the mental atmosphere Of
the character he is portraying. Hours
of patient study and observation in the
prisons of Europe had given Jannings
particularly keen insight into the
prisoners psychology. Between pic
lures and in his leisure time the stsl
visited the Los Angeles Jail, studying
the types incarcerated there, watching
them and probing their mental proc
esses.

A comparatively small part of 1.-THE

production for Warner Bros, presents
him in the ebony-hued makeup in
which he is familiar to millions of
theatergoers.
He appears in this makeup in sing
ing one of his soul-stirring ballads on
the stage of a theater and it serves to
present him in exactly the character

likes best to see him.
During the greater part of the action
of THE Singing Fool" however, Jolson
appears in whiteface as the singing
waiter of Broadway, part in which
pathos predominates.

An Innovation.

COME time ago the Mutual Burlesque
~ Association, which operates the
Strand Theater, on Ninth Street. hit
upon the idea of asking its patrons
for criticisms of the various shows.
The response thus far. it is ANNOUNCE
ed, has been more than gratifying.
The general trend of this criticism is
that burlesque has made wonderful
strides in the past few years, and has
found its place in the sun. Indeed,
it is added, Issac H. Schwartz, Gin
cinnati newspaper man, says among
other things "Burlesque more than
any other form of entertainment has
consistently proved itself the type of
fun that strikes responsive chord
in huge slices of the populace, recruit
them from whatever strata of society
that you will"
