NORMA SHEARER
STARRED AT PALACE

Norma Shearer's first screen play
in several months is to be the fea-
ture attraction at the Palace, begin
ming today, and for the first time
the popular Metro Goodwin Mayer
star is presented in a crook role.
"a Lady of Chance" is the title
Of Miss Shearer's latest effort,
which viii be presented with sound
Synchronization. She is cast as
Dolly, girl who poses as lonely,
heartbroken telephone operator, but
who hides the craftineSs of a pro-
fessionsl gold digger behind her in
nocent tears.
AS an operator in an exclusive
New York hotel the girl finds she
can come in contact with men who
have money and who can be induced
TO part with it. She also learns that
having once teamed up with two
other crooks she can not get very
far away from them.
She splits the proceeds of one
badger game with these associates
in an attempt & rid herself of
them. but whell = y find she is in
line for a fortune by marrying q

The lines are almost identical
throughout and speaking is heard
from the very beginning Of the pic
ture until the last.
In the leading roles are William
Powell, Evelyn Brent. Give Brook
and Doris Kenyon. They all have
enjoyed experience on the talking
stage, which meant much to them
in the production of this photo
play.
The story is built around love
which suffered for a long while
from the interference Of q desperate
woman.
The play ran In London for two
years and was acclaimed as one Of
the outstanding 1927 successes in
New York. Paramount's picturiza-
ton most certainly lost none Of the
merits Of the original production.
Both Eddie Cantor and Ruth Ell
ting provide highly pleasing enter
tainment in the talking films and
there is every indication that they
will reach the heights of stardom
here as well as they did on the
legitimate stage.

BRASLAU TO

To Sophie Braslau, the noted
American contralto, who will ap-

20, at Murat theater, there is little
difference between Main Street
and Manhattan.

says. "As regards music 1 am an
absolute eclectic and program what

But I never classify audiences and

1t must not be forgotten that the
Freiburg Passion Play antedates
the Oberammergau presentation of
the Crucitixion of Christ by some
400 years, thus coming to be the
earliest reactment of the greatest
of religious dramas. A distance of
some $50 miles separates Freiburg

ing alone as among the greatest
biblical productions of all times
Vivid beauty and pathos stir even
the sophisticated to tears-the story
of the Savior beautifully and ten
derby told.
Even if the Passion Play did not
deal with the events that form the
basis of the Christian religions, it
would still. as it is now acted, be
an inspiring performance. For a
while after seeing the earnest,
haunting face of Adolph FaSsnacht,
the man who inherited the role of
the Christus from a long line of
strangely honored ancestors, you
will understand and grasp the full
significance of such an impersona-
ton.
To be sure, Adolph FaSsnacht, is
not, in the last analysis, acting; he
is simply living-living and suffer-
ing intensely through a role that
has become his only life.
He has been trained from birth
to think and to live so that he can
look and act in replica the usual
conception of Christ, Just as his
brother, George Fassnacht, has
studied the life and mental pro-
cesses of Judas Iscariot. These
brothers have rot only trained dur
ing the whole of their lives for these
roles; they were actually bred for
these transformations.
Two scenes of the, many unusual
beauty and pathos are the Last Sup
per and the death of Christ on the
Cross. The variety of these scenes
prove triumphant realization. The

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Jan. s.
H The making of a talking pic
ture. such as "Nightstick," Roland
Vests underworld thriller for
United Artists, involves an entirely
new scheme of things in studio
technique.
And to the layman, if he could
get inside a studio and watch
company in action, it wouldn't seem
nearly as exciting as silent drama"
production.
Gone are the time honored mega
phones and the shouted orders OF
directors, the hustle and hustle, the
chatter of hundreds of people on
the sets. the music of orchestraS
getting actors into the proper mood
for scenes, the sputter and crackle
of Kleig lights.
Inside the huge sound stages, Spe-
ciaIly constructed buildings as ST.
lent as tombs, the drop of a pin
could be heard. The only people
visible are the players in the scene.
The director and his aides OBJ
serve and hear the action, which
had been rehearsed many times
before the cameras start grinding,
from a Enclosed, sound-prooI
tower high up in the stage.
Cameras shoot through heavy
plate-glass from inside sound-proof
booths on wheels. The sets are
lighted by powerful incandescents.
Quiet! Quiet Quiet!" is the con-
stantly reiterated order to every
body except the players speaking
their lines. No hospital corridor at
midnight is more quiet than TAX
ing picture stage when film COM
pany is busiest.
The cast of "Nightstick" includes
Chester Morris, Eleanor Griffith,
Pat OMalley, Mae Busch, Regis
Toomey, George Cooper, Purnell
Pratt, Trina Harrison, Al Hill, James
Bradbury Jr., Herman Cripps, Harry
Stubs and De Witt Jennings.

low her every move. When she mar
ries the young man and finds him
penniless it looks as if she is the
victim of both a case of bad judg-
ment and her friends, but as the
breaking point arrives she finds her
self to be truly in love and some
surprising things occur in rapid sue
ceSsion.
Johnny Mack Brown is seen as
the young inventor who becomes the
girls reformer. Gwen Lee and
Lowell Sherman assume the roles
of two crooks who know an easy job
when they see it, while Eugeuia
Besserer, Buddie Messenger and
Bert Roach complete the cast.
Robert q. Leonard has directed
"a Lady of Chance from an adap-
tation of an original story by LIE Roy
Scott.
Completing the program will be

ing a galaxy of stage stars together
in one complete vaudeville show,

Of ceremonies. In this review will
be seen and heard Johnny Marvin,
Ray Sinnott, the Locust sisters and

in his capacity as master of cere-
monies.
Other sight and sound objects
will include the Fox Movietone

ION TRIAL"
STARTS SECOND WEEK

With its intensely dramatic court
room scenes, its engroSSing story Of
a, wife's faithleSsneSs, the unwritten
law as invoked by the injured hus-
band and the mysterious theft Of
$4,000, "On Trial" the thrilling
Vitaphone all talking picture melo-
drama, which will continue for an
other week at the Apollo, takes rank
as one of the best pictures in which
all the players speak their parts that
has yet reached the screen.
Due to Vitaphone the dramatic
power of the story Is brought out
with an effectiveness which has
never been approached by the silent
picture. 1t is the first murder trial
drama to be presented in talking
picture form, and nothing could be
more impressive than the courtroom
scenes around which the action re-
wolves.
They present a complete recrea-
ton of the proceedings with every
word playing its part to heighten
the interest in the scenes, and in
presenting the sensational trial with
all its amazing turns and twists.
Pauline Frederick, Bert Lytell and
Lois Wilson, all stars in their own
right, head the cast which includes
Holmes Herbert, Jason Richards,
Richard Tucker, Johnny Arthur,
Edmund Breese and Vondell Darr,
the first little girl accorded the dis
tinction of a role in a talking pic
ture and whose performance proves
that Director Archie L. Mayo made
a wise choice in selecting her for
the part.
The program contains Movietone
news reels and Vitaphone acts by
the Royal Mounted Police quintet,
an excellent singing unit, Net Carr,
popular character comedian, and
Jane Green, Broadway star and
night club favorite, assisted by Ron
Wilson in Singing the Blues"
