"The underworld character has

This statement was made by an
internationally famous young
screen star. 1t was Richard

talking picture, whifh is his first
talking picture and in which he
also plays the piano.
Barthelmess, in the role of a
denizen of the lower world. is
doubly interesting because he is a
man of background, college train
ing and those things which stand
for social superiority. And when
such young man essays to do
roughnecks. it is not too much to
expect him to have interesting
views about them. He has studied
them and knows not a little Of
their psychology.
We had asked him the why and
wherefore of the current rage for
cinematic crime. stories. Here was
a thought he propounded:
Il wonder il there isn't some.
