 VALUABLE EMBLEM
Merchant Gets Shrine Pin Under
 Unusual Circumstances

A local merchant has a valuable piece of jewelry in his possession which has developed into a perpleX- ing problem. He received it under unusual circumstances, he does not know to whom it belongs, from whom he received it, from whence it came nor what to do with it.
 The article is q Shrine pin. The merchant is Shriner. The pin adorned the breast of a -year-old boy who strollcd into the merchants s place of business several weeks ago. 1t being obvious that the boy was not ShrinCr or in fact affiliated with Masonry at his age the mcr- chant proceeded to question him about the pin.
 Blurting out statement that the pin was lost by Henry H. Tallman, the air mail pilot who met his death in crash on Berlin mountain re- gently the boy fled leaving pin in pos session of the merchant and leaving 'tC 'At'' 'S 4li9 OHii IIFHllLS'
 In an effort to get the pin to it's rightful owner the merchant com muniCat"d with Mrs. Tallman, ask ing if it actually belong to her hus- band and stating that if such were the case he would be glad to forward it. A reply from the widow of the airm2n said her husband was not q Mason and'thcrefore could not have been the owner or the pin.
 Curious to know more about the construction of the pin the mcr- chant had q local jcweler examine it. He learned tat several stones were not rhin"stones as he thought but were genuine diamonds, that the emblem itself was of platinum and the little disc which screws on the hack to hold the pin in place is 14 karat white gold. The market value Of the pin is said to be high
 An effort will be made to have officers of Sphynx Temple of Hart ford make a survey of the members in an effort to locate the pin.

RONALD COLNAN
 AT TIE STRAND
Bulldog D3umnond" Is Out standing Talking Picture

Ronald Colman comes into his own as the hero of a flashing comedy mclodrama at the Strand starting Sunday for four days, in creepy, spine-curdling, picturization of the famous Bulldog Drum imond," an all tallie. The handsome Samuel GOldwyn star whose serious love-making has made him q ma tional figure has lost none of his sense Of romantic appeal; but to it he has added genuine feeling for comedy which results ill there being just the right mixture of thrills and laughter in the picture.
 The movie public has learned to expect that Samuel Goldwyn will produce pictures mounted beauti- fully down 10 the last detail. But Bulldog DrummOnd" goes the past GoldWyn productions one better in making the settings as important q part of the picture as the plot. Brooding shadows, weird camera angles, sinister SlantS to walls and staircascS, lighting that makes faces cerie, all add tremendously to the horror of the devilry of the crim- inals who specialize in torturing their victims under cover Of fake sanitarium
 Joan Bennett appearing for the first time on the screen, is shortly going 10 be a prime candidate for the title of the lovolicst blonde in pictures, from the evidence of her work as Phyllis, Bulldog Drum mond's lady love. The horrifying effects of such faces as Montagu Loves and Lawrence Grants under the superb lighting of the picture, coupled with excellent performances by both men, make inc criminal gang something to have nightmares about. Lilyan Tashman, as the slinlly adventures, gives one of her su- pcrbly fine pieces of work, and Claude Allist"r and Wilson Bcngc ably support Colman in the comedy relief

 On Thursday Jack Oakie and Sk""ts Gallagher will be presented in Fast Company" an all talkic with a select vaudeville show in ad- dition. Coming soon is "The Satur- day Night Kid" with Clara Bow.

Bavard WELLER Speaks.

DAYARD WELLER, author-dTector
- of the talking version OF Ine
Trial of Mary Dugan," recently passed
the following remarks anent stage and
movie technique:
Now that I have returned to the
screen to make talking pictures am
confronted with an amazing fallacy.
There are a large number OF people
who consider the advent of the talkleS
a heaven-sent opportunity for stage
trained artists.
Personally I feel that any stage
dramatist who think he can make
talkies before he has learned basic movie
technique is just insane.
"Of course the stage playwright, d.
rector or actor has certain advantages
for talking pictures. but I am not SO
sure that the picture trained people OF
the same profession won't progress
faster in this new subdivision OF the
age-old art of expression.
1T am inclined to think that the pic
ture director will learn the technique
of the stage and of dialogue much more
quickly than the stage director or play
wright will absorb picture technique.
The technique of the screen is much
more complicated. Much Of the tech
nique of the stage can be put in writ
ten rules. This is not SO true of the
screen. Only long experience and a
trained eye can tell director when a
certain lighting effect is right-and
photography will always be an all i'm
portant part of the whole business of
properly putting drama on the screen"

The Old Glamour.

THE life of show folks has long been
held to be more colorful and pic
turesque than that of any other pro-
fession or calling. The impression of
its appeal ha; persisted through the
centuries until the present day. The
popular impression, however. is less true
today than it has been for centuries.
The picturesqueness continues to lin
ger about the circus and the travelling
tent show, or carnival. in the popular
mind, but the glory has departed from
the legitimate and vaudeville theaters.
The medicine show, with its daring
dancing girls, has been thrown into the
discard. The carnival is rapidly losing
its fascination to the amusement parks.
To find the old picturesqueness in
show life, we must look abroad. to the
countries still backward in their de-
velopment but where the white
man is encroaching on native enter
tainments. In Cairo. 1unis. Algiers
and other of the North African cities
and colonies the show of the Euro
pean is competing with native enter
tainmentS whose nomadic life give to
this kind of SHOW" the color and pic
turesQueneSS which is so rapidly de-
parting from cur own amusement enter
priSeS.
Zone Stolen Night" the Warner
Bros. picture, featuring Betty Bronson
and William Collier, jr., is story of
one of these caravans Of European
vaudeville entertainers who visit the
outpoSts of the colonies in North At
RIGA. The players, consisting of dane
ing girls, acrobats, knife throwers, tum-
blers, singers, animal trainers. etc. lead
a gypsy sort of life. They form minia-
ture governments of their own, the
manager being the head of the gov
eminent. Their entertainments are
crude and often vulgar, fitted for the
soldiers garriSoned in the country and
the natives who know few words of
French or English. They have their
quarrels. the romances and their sue
cesses, and occasionally some of them
make money. Most are able barely to
subsiSt and return to Europe, where the
individual members find such employ
ment as they can. But their existence
while in the African colonies is pic
tureSQue.

TALKING pictures, which have been
responsible recently for several
eminent Eastward transatlantic pass
ages, have attracted another stage and
screen actor in Europe to America in
the person of Shavie Gardner. He was
cast by George Bernard Shaw in st.
JOAN" by John Barrymore in his Lon
don Hamlet" and by Rex Ingram in
Three Passions" the film turned out
at Nice. Mr.. Gardner is en- route to
Hollywood. This Is his first visit to
America in two years.
In 1899 Mr.. Gardner, native Of
Auckland, New Zealand, sold newspa-
pers on the streets of San Jose, Calf.
He was then years old, and was
stranded in that city. When he was IL
he left the United States, working his
way on the steamship Sierra as pam
try boy to New Zealand. Since then
he has been around the world four
times, he has acted on the stages Of
Paris and London and New York, he
has come to know George Bernard
Shaw quite well, he has made films in
France, Germany and England, and he
has played on the stage with Sir Her
bert Beerbohm- Tree, Lady Forbes-Rob-
ertson, Mrs. Patrick Campbell, Henry
Ainley, Irene Vanbrugh and others. A
massive figure, he is feet inches tall
and weighs more than 200 pounds. He
prides himself on being an adventurer.
He went to Nice on a gamble and be-
came principal in Three Passions"
Shaw cast Shayle Gardner as Robert
de Baudricourt in "St. JOAN" The
playwright had first met the actor
years before, when Gardner was stu
dent in the Royal Academy of Dra-
matte Art, conducted by Sir Herbert
Tree. Shaw then coached Gardner in
the role that Sir Herbert acted in "Pyg-
malion," the Shaw play. When "St.
Joan" was in rehearsal Gardner was
supposed to make speech to Sybil
Thorndike, who played Joan: II don't
know" Shaw thought that Gardner
had not achieved the proper intonation
on the words, and although the Irish
man had sat quietly through the re-
hearsals, never losing his temper, he
now interrupted.
Say, Gardner, are you married."

Sarsasso Sea Film.

THE Sargasso Sea, one of the earth's
l. few remaining enigmas. is to be the
theater of action for a new picture
which is being filmed at First National
Studios.
So far no one has seen the center of
this huge floating island Of seaweed
even from the air. There is theory
that it contains. at its core. not only
hundreds of derelict ships but quite pos
sibly colony of stranded human be-
ings.
This vast eddy that eventually draws
all floating objects into its center, is to
be reproduced and filmed in an all-star
special picture, with full sound accom-
paniments and dialogue. 1t is being

There will also be scenes on the ocean
For the studio scenes some of the old
kelp harvesters who used to get iodideS
and potassium for explosives during the
war have been reclaimed and put to use
once more, to gather tons OF seaweed
for the picture.
