PitsS is the only well-knoWn screen
acrteSs on the cast, but the truth
is Zasu has been strictly legitimate
in method for years on the screen
and that is the reason she has not
feared the takers.
The truth is that Miss Bordoni is
going to be liked much more on the
screen than Fannie Brice. Of
course, that is my opinion. Miss
Brice will never be able to live
down the my IAN" song.
In Paris" Miss Bordoni has a
grand time singing Il Wonder
What Is Really on His Mind one
of those nifties in which the Bor-
doni eyes flash the double mean
ing. There are other song numbers,
several very tuneful and soothing
like.
AS you know, Miss Bordoni is one
Of the best dressed women on the
stage, probably the most daShing
And she is that on the screen.
And you are going to howl your
self sick with Louise Closer Hale,
who plays the role of the small town
and very strict and proper mother
Of Andrew Sabbot, who falls in love
with Vivienne ROLAND, one of those
wild darlings of the Paris amuse-
ment world. Mamma Sabbot sheds
her long underwear and her flannel
nightieS, and she sure gives Paris a
play. Her brandy Souse is one of
the funniest things the screen has
reflected for many months. 1t takes
q great artist to make a Souse COM

phonlc. Now do not confuse MAR
RED in Hollywood" with such hot
musical TUNED up revueS as "The
Hollywood Revue" and "Sunnysde
Up" Married" tells you the COM
plete story of an American singer,
who after studying and starving in
Europe arrives in the chorus in
Vienna. She has the voice and
brains and suddenly becomes the
prina donna of a musical show.
She is commanded by a prince of
small kingdom to have supper and
what not with him. She is a good
gal. And she didn't. She dreamed
OF having dinner with the prince
and this scene is a comedy knock
out with the prima donna wearing
a funny crown while clad in her
nightgown.
But she does meet the prince by
accident and he turns out to be
regular. So regular that he is will
ing to chuck this throne. But his
queen mother yelled no and had
her own son kidnapped and shipped
back to his home castle. And the
prin1a donna packed up her
broken heart and sailed for
America. She landed in Hollywood
and became a great foreign" movie
star. Then she decided to put on
the screen the true story of her sad
ending romance with the prince.
The final scene was to show her
stabbing and killing the false prince.
In the mean time, the prince
and his royal papa and mamma
had been kicked out of their palace
by a revolution and the poor
prince sought work in Hollywood.
And would you ever guess it, the
prince is chosen quite. by accident
to play the role of the movie prince
in the scene in which he is to be
stabbed
But the ending is happy when the
great movie star gets her optics on
her prince. The happy ending made
the producer happy. So very happy.
Here is a big picture from a
scenic standpoint. The leading
members of the cast are legitimate
Norma ferris is the prima donna.
Has q lovely voice and acts quite
well. She is splendid in her emo
tional scenes. j. Harold Murray is
the real prince and as such doesn't
have much singing to do. And this
man can really sing.
Some of the scenes in color are
very beautiful. I got fine laugh
out of the back stage" scenes in
Hollywood. You sure get the low

KEYES ASSERTS
He IS COAT IN
TAYLOR MURDER
Former Prosecutor Brands
Claim of Solution as
Political Move.
By United Press

By United Press
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 23.-An-
nouncement by District Attorney
Burton Fits that he is near solu-
ton of the mysterious murder of
William Desmond Taylor. film di-
rector, was the subject Of new criti-
cism today by Fits predecessor, Asa
Keyes.
From his county jail cot, where
he is recovering from a jawbone
operation, Keyes charged the an
nouncements by Fits and former
Governor Friend w. Richardson were
political in their purpose
Richardson said in Berkeley that
ne had been told by a convict that
movie actress killed Taylor, but
that the Los Angeles county grand
Jury had cofided that Reyes, since
convicted of bribery in the Julian
petroleum cases, would not prose-
cute.
"I am just a political prisoner be-
ing used by politicians and their
supporters as a pawn on a chess
board of politics" Keyes said.
THE Taylor murder occurred in
1922 while Thomas Lee WoolWine
was district attorney. Fits and 1
both were deputies in the district
attorneys office. WoolWine in
vestigated thoroughly. When 1 be-
came district attorney and Fits was
my chief deputy, we continued to
do everything possible"
Reyes asked why Richardson
remained silent so long, why he
didn't instruct the state attorney
general to proceed in the matter;
why he obtained the parole of the
prisoner. who gave him the alleged
information and allowed him to flee
to Mexico, and why Richardson
waited until the eve of Fits ex-
pected announcement Of his
9uberhatorial candidacy to make his
revelation.
Fits seemed to be conducting the
only investigation of the crime. He
said that his Offices investigators
had built up a perfect recon-
struction of the shooting, with the
exception Of one point, which he
did not reveal.

MOSCOW, Dec. ga protocol
providing for an immediate termin-
alton OF bitter Chinese Eastern
Railway dispute between Soviet
Russia and the Chinese Manchurlan
government was signed Sunday at
Habarovsk, leaving only minor ques-
tons to be settled at formal con-
ference here Jan. Is.
The protocol was signed by Tsoi-

churian government, with the APP
prevail of the Nationalist govern
ment of China, and agent Simonoy-
sky of the Soviety foreign Office.
The two chief provisions as an
nounced are the immediate re-
storation of the Chinese Eastern
Railway to joint administration,
and the withdrawal of the Soviet
forces from Manchuria as soon as
possible.
Both China and Russia will re-
lease all civilian and military
prisoners taken since the dispute
began in July. The Russian con-
sulates in Manchuria and Chinese
consulates in Russia will be re-
opened.
The railway will be restored to
the system of operation provided
for by the agreement of 1924. 1t
was the seizure of the railway by
the Chinese last July which led to
hostilities recently marked by the
advance of Soviet troops into Man
churia from the west and east.
The protocol further provides that

gosl, Leila Hyams, and the others.
To me the most interesting things
in the movie version of this play
was the work of Miss Wycherly and
the way the director handled this
dark" screen. To my way of think
ing, Miss Wycherly is not known to
the movie public and she will never
be a popular leading actress.
I was disappointed with the work
of Conrad Nagel, and also with
some of the direction of the picture
at the beginning before Miss
Wycherly arrives. At the beginning
the actors seemed more like
frightened puppets than human
beings. There can be realism even
in mystery. That the director and
some of the actors failed to realize.
This movie is interesting because
of the presence of Miss Wycherly.
AS usual with murder mysteries /
do not tell you the story.
I doubt if this one is box office in
any sense OF the word. Of course
might be wrong.

The first all-Negro picture reaches
the screen with an apologize pream-
hle which is scarcely timely. The
Negro theme has been popular in East
ern theaters for some time. Short
story subjects have a definite market
among magazines catering to large
subscriptions. The Negro novel has
been a decided addition to literature
of late years. So the Negro picture Is
natural outgrowth Of the above-men-
toned things.
An apology for the thinness Of the
story might be more in order. Pro-
ducers are being entertained them
selves by the idea Of sound. They
can't bear to shoot scene without
backgrounding 1t by quartet in the
distance. This dangerous practice un-
doubtedly Will weaken SOUND pictures
lessening the realism Of the drama and
contributing artificiality to a medium
paramount in its artificial quality at
the outset.
This first all-Negro picture, despite
its beautiful photography and excel
lent Photographic composition, estap-
lished during the first IS minutes only
these things-that there were Negroes
in the world, that they could sing, and
that one Of them was very lazy. We've

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, April 2-Free-
lance lists in the village are being aug
naented each day. Ruth Taylor Is one
of the players entering the ranks Of
novelties who have the whole field Il
ronap in, but sometimes nothing to ronr
about. Being entirely free and indie
pendent has its drawbacks. as many II
movies can assure you.
John Monk Saunders is free-lancine
among authors. But writing people
have a better time Of it. Sometimes
type of work that studio decides per-
son does best is fatal to the versatility
Of the writer.
This has been found true often for
players also.
Aileen Pringle has joined the ranks
Of the free-lancing ladies. When
think of Pringie, with her exquisite
skin coloring and the rich, lovely shade
of her hair; when I consider the whim-
sicality of her voice tones at times and
the charming and cultured infection
at all times, I wonder why the legiti-
mate has not claimed her long ago.
Perhaps as the next year unfolds
some interesting interchange between
this village and Broadway will take
place.
An interesting reunion Hollywood
makes possible Is that between Olive
Brook and Sir Basil Dean within the
next few weeks. It goes back to a
friendship made during the war days,
when Brook, invaded home from the
front, acted In the wartime theaters
Of Dean. It was strenuous work, with
a new show each week and two per-
formances every night. They will meet
once more on the same lot in Movie
land
But reunions are the usual thing
here. Foreign players who froze and
starved and struggled together il the
old country under the rigid require
ments and on the small salaries OF Eu-
ropean surroundings wave nonchalantly
to each other from luxurious cars. In
the old days they associated such
transportation with bankers, American
