tract with Radio Pictures for its entire
l929-l93O program for that territory

tons, now abroad.
Kinemas Is O British company. The

tween Mr.. SchnitEer and Mr.. Bowling,

acting for Kinemas.
Another contract for RKOS 1929
1890 product assuring distribution
throughout India, Burma and Ceylon

tiers, said to be the largest and most
powerful motion picture distributors in
those territories. MADAM Theaters
already have installed a number Of
sound equipments in their theaters and

~ were a color film so that movie
goers might get the full effect of Mon
tana Myrna, surnamed 10y. AS it Is
in black and white she's high voltaged
vamp-but that's not half Of it.
That hair that photographs so black
is swapping red-Myrna 10y and Clara
Bow are sisters under the thatch--and
those eyes that are so insinuating are
green
At home the real Myrna is studious,
vivacious person who keeps her own
cottage and studies roles and books.
She doesn't even pretend to play the
siren in real life, as so many vamps
have done She rides horseback good
Montana maitland INDUCES in sports
Most misunderstanding. Not q long Slinky
robe in her outfit, no queer perfumes
floating around, no chaise Tongue in
her boudoir, no makeup on her face al

asking about her Oriental" or South
Pacific blood heritage she actually re-
plies that she's of Scotch Welsh descent
and came from Butte or whereabouts. A
red-cheeked, real, hearty American

Having identified myself as a. DE-.
fender Of the talkies (and having al
ready suffered social ostracism as a re-
sult, I ought to tell you to go ahead

doubts whatever of your ability to do
so; know that you are just about TIN
