T Up to the present, the revue idea
seems to have taken hold OF
the producers. At least, the big
box Office returns are coming
from this class of sound attrac-
ton. Paramount announces that
it plans a gigantic vaudeville show
featuring SO well known players,
among them Richard Arlen, Clara
Bow, Give Brook, Jack Oakie,
Ruth Chatterton, Maurice Chew
alier, Dennis King, the Four Marx
Brothers, Moran and Mack.
Charles Rogers, Hal Sicily, Fay
Wray, Mary Brian, Gary Cooper,
Evelyn Brent, James Hall and
Nancy Carroll. All the directors.
writer's, artists and specialists will
have a chance to do their stuff"
in the production, which will.
carry the title of ION Parade"
The motion picture revue idea
is expected to take the place of
the old time vaudeville perform
ance, and the large number of
artists on hand in the various
Hollywood studios makes possible
very elaborate shows. The first
picture of the kind to make a de-
cided hit with movie patrons was
the Fox "Movietone Revue" which
was followed by the Hollywood
Revue"
HERE comes an actor who hyp-
= notices himself when he plays
various parts! Anyway, that is
the story which is sent out from
Hollywood. The actor is Paul
MUM, who made such a decided
hit in THE Valiant" which was
exhibited in Washington several
months ago. Muni's next picture
is Seven Faces" which will have
a New York premiere within a
short time.
MUM has been called a young
man, but he has been on the stage
for the past 20 years, having
started before the footlights when
he was II years old. He is already
recognized as one of the leading
character actors of the pictures,
and his work in Seven Faces" is
expected to increase his popularity
with photoplay patrons. MUM
says: 81 believe in throwing my
self into a part. If I am an old
man, think the thoughts of an
old man, talk as an old man does
and make myself believe that am
an ancient creature. It's what
you believe that counts-as sort.
of self-hypnosis." In Seven
Faces" NUM- plays seven different
characters, several of them with
very little makeup.
ALTHOUGH news dispatches re-
ported the loss of the Rudy
Vallee picture, 1.-THE Vagabond
Lover" in a recent Hollywood fire,
enough of the film was saved to
give a pre-view a few evenings
ago. It is said that the real COM
edy hit of-tl1e production is the
work of Marie DreSsler, who also
scored a hit in 1.-THE Hollywood
Revue" Others in the cast of the
ValIee starring vehicle, are Sally
Blame, Eddie Nugent, Allan Roscoe
and Danny O'Shea. The song hit
of the show is said to be eff You
Were the Only Girl" sung by the
star. It's a story about an Ameri-
can saxophone king and a young
hick who has studied the same in
Strument by correspondence
school course, with many compli-
cations.

Just Like Other Girls.

MERNA KENNEDY, co-star with
40 Glenn Tryon in Skinner Steps
Out" is a unique personality among the
actresses of the screen.
She doesn't own any pets and she
doesn't particularly care to travel. She
likes all animals, especially dogs and
monkeys, but she is not particularly
fond of cats. AS for travel, she would
just as soon remain with her friends
amid the comforts at home.
Miss Kennedy thinks that perhaps
she is not overload of travel because
she got so much of it when she was
young. When she was only years old
she played a singing and dancing act
over two vaudeville circuits. Her par
ticular delights are music, dancing
bridge and mingling with gay, colorful
crowds. Also she is fond of pretty
clothes.
She has played in only five motion
pictures. and always as leading wom-
an. Charles Chaplin discovered" hel
while she was playing in musical show
at Los Angeles and signed her as his
leading lady in THE Circus" She haS
appeared in four Universal pictures, in
Guiding the production Broad

ERED NIBLO suggests "Rumor Re-
l. vue" in the form of Hollywood
extravaganza, having the flicker stars,
MANY of whom have been the target
of fantastic rumors, interpreting them
selves according to popular concep-
ton and then according to their true
lights. Such q thing might set straight
a good many false ideas, Niblo feels.
Ralf Harolde holds what may be a
record for the number of roles portrayed
on the American stage. He has ap-
peared in 400 parts, many of them on
Broadway, but the majority in stock
companies in various cities. He Is now
in talking pictures.
Warner Brothers have filmed 81 OF
the 81 pictures on their Vitaphone pro-
gram for the current year, and the

Prince Chichibu, whose marriage to
the dainty little daughter OF the former
Japanese Ambassador, Setsu Matsu-
daira, caused much local jubilation,
was the guest of Mr.. Edwin Neville,
charge d'affaires Of the United States
embassy at the celebration In Toxic of
Lincolns birthday. The prince made
an astonishingly eloquent speech on
that occasion and showed a knowledge
of the life achievements and writings
of the great emancipation not often
heard from any but citizen of the
republic. The heir apparent of the
japanese throne stated that it was
the ideal of the Oriental countries
where conditions had been unstable, to
work out to the fullest meaning the
immortal saying of Lincoln about "a
government of, by and for the people"
and he threw an illuminating interpre-
tation on other parts of the immortal
utterance. Toxic and other larger
cities of Japan have for many years
encouraged American japanese So
cieties and annually generous prizes are
awarded the best essays on Lincoln's
writings and governmental philosophy.
