Certainly, the eXuberant Colleen

delightful personality and dramatic
talent. She makes decidedly real
the character of little Pert Kelly"
wiSe-cracking, fas~t-stepping, pseu-

did as she is in the comedy cpl
sodes, Miss Moore reaches the
heights in strong scenes with her
father. an ordinary parent who OBJ
jects to the pace his daughter is
setting. 1t is a family battle often
repeated in real life. and your
sympathy for the arguments Of the
father is diluted by an understand

The plot centerS around Miss

Walsh a Director
Noted For Defying
Film Conventions

Raoul Walsh is one motion pic
ture director who continually and
persistently defies the conventions.
When he cast what Price Glory
he had Fox studio officials walking
around in a daze because he insist
ed that Edmund Lowe would make
an ideal Sergeant Quirt."
The thought that Lowe, hither-
to identified with great lover roles,
could be transformed into a hard
boiled top sergeant was unbeliev-
able. But Lowe indicated Walshs
judgment and then some.
Walsh again defied convention
when he made Victor McLagen
the colorful hero OF Loves Of Car
men," and later when he reached
out anon the several thousands OF
bit and extra players in Hollywood
and corralled Ivan LlnoW, a gl-
gantic Russian, who was a sensa-
ton in 'The Red Dance"
Currently he is proving, on the
screen, that he still can throw pre-
cedent into the discard and get
away VIII IT,
The two leads in Me, Gangster,"
which Walsh produced for Fox
Films, and which Is showing at the
Dittmann now, are Don Terry and
June Collyer. Terry was given the
leading male role despite the fact
that he had never appeared on the
screen, even as an extra.
Jun Collyer, beautiful refined.
aristocratic, had previously been
cast in roles that would fit her
charm and graciousness. Walsh
decided she would make m ideal
MARY Reagan a laundry worker
living in the congested district Of
New York.
They say at the studio that Miss
Collyer almost had a nervous
breakdown when she learned the
type she was expected to portray.
Now she would be happy indeed If
she could play a similar role or
character in every picture in which
she appears.
All of which means, too, that pic
ture devotees and admirers Of Miss
Collyer will see this pretty girl give
a real, human, inspired portrayal
when Me Gangster,' opens here.
