San Francisco, Calif.-I have been
taking notes across the country on the
various geographic attitudes toward
women smokers.
One thing is certain-Women are
smoking from Atlantic to Pacific, but
differently.
Hollywood. for instance. smokes
with one eye over It's shoulder to see
who is looking. This is particularly
true in film circles. where the girlieS
must keep an eye open for their pub
lie" The idea obtains that a certain
percentage of fans would be annoyed
Of shocked to learn that little Gertie
de Puyster actually puffed pills. Now
that / recall, there have been few pic
lures showing girls or women smoking,
unless the purpose was to reveal flam-
ing youth at its most reckless, or
worldliness on the part of some char
meter actress. Which is rather funny
when N ICES 50 many nice gray
haired old ladies lighting up.

parties. Little smoking is to be seen in
the hotels, except at the after-theatrc
dances.
Two cities smoke openly and with
out reServation-San Francisco and
New York. Whether at the Whltcomb
coffee house breakfast table, the lobby
Of the st. Francis. or the swimming
pool tea room of Fairmont. the smok-
ing is as casual as the coffee slipping.
Chicago, which should be metropol-
itan In such matters, is actually a bit
cagey. Several of the large hotels
frown slightly, and look quite as sus-
piciously as though ginger ale and
cracked ice had been ordered. Down
through Pennsylvania, West Virginia
and southern Ohio smoking begins
as oon as the younger generation gets
out Of eye-shot of the elders. Also
there Is smoking at p~rivate-and

The Moying picture cAlb~m
By Robert E. Sherwood.

Fairbanks work together is a veritable
triumph for the institution of marriage.
There is also every reason to believe
that the eminent author would pro-
nounce Clyde Cook, as Grumio, TO be
hilariously comical. With this verdict
the present critic Is in violent disagree
ment. For Clyde Cook conforms to all
toms of Shakespearean comedy, than
which there is nothing, in my estima-
ton, less funny.
The biggest laughs in 1.-THE Tanning Of
the Shrew"- land there are some big
ones) are those supplied by the in
genuity of the stars or of the director,
Sam Taylor. who formerly was chief
gag man for Harold Lloyd.
IT seems that, after ALL Gloria Swan
l. son has scored huge success in
talking pictures. For q long time she
was officially listed among those stars
who had been ruined by sound. Her
first conversational film, Queen Kelly"
was delayed and delayed and finally
abandoned, and 1t was freely stated
that Gloria's vocal cords were not up
to the high standard set by the rest of
her anatomy.
Now, however, her performance IN
THE TrespaSser" is being acclaimed by
enthusiastic audiences on both sides of
the continent and on both sides Of the
Atlantic Ocean, and the Marquise is
being restored to her former eminence
as a big box-offlce star.
The success of 1.-THE Trespasser' is
due, surprisingly enough, to the ex-
traordinarily skillful manipulation Of
sound. AS story 1t Is just simply
awful, based on an outrageous improb-
ability and burdened with characters
and situations from the archives of
hokum But the author and director,
Edmund Goulding manages to capture
and hold the spectators attention and
approval by means of the eloquent
noises that he makes.
When, at the end of the picture, Miss

sob with her, even though there is no
legitimate reason for her tears or for
yours.

"A portant contribution to the
cinematographic art in their
production of THE Tanning of the
Shrew."
Not that there is anything notably
commendable in the mere act of bring
ing Shakespeare to the talking screen.
John Gilbert and Norma Shearer- did
that in the Hollywood Revue" their
rendition of the balcony scene being one
of the low lights of the season.
Mary and Doug have achieved con-
siderably more than a mere recording
of a Shakespeare play. They have man
aged to give us picture that Is spright-
ly, intelligent, amusing and, above all
things, superlatiVely beautiful.
Those who believe that pictorial
beauty vanished from the screen with
the dissipation of silence will be pleas
antly surprised when they observe THE
Tanning Of the Shrew." To begin with,
Americas sweetheart has never looked
lovelier. The Shakespearean costumes
become her perfectly. and she carries
them with gentle grace. In addition
to which, the backgrounds designed by
William Cameron MenZies are rich and
handsome and they have been photo
graphed appreciatively by Karl StursS.
When the Fairbankses first decided to
make THE Tanning OF the Shrew, 1t
was said they would render 1t in modern
dress. One should be grateful that they
changed their minds.
A MOTHER rumor that has been
"A going the rounds Of the wise
crackers is that The Tanning Of the
Shrew" bears the credit line, by VIII
liam Shakespeare. with additional dia-
logue by Sam Taylor"
This line is not now in evidence
There is, necessarily, some additional
dialogue" and vast amount OF the
divine bard's text is happily omitted,
but none of the insertions or deletions
are likely to offend any one, least OF all
the watchful Specter Of Shakespeare
himself.
Indeed, while seeing and hearing this
canned version of THE Tanning OF the
Shrew" one continually hopes that
Shakespeare Is not missing 1t, and one
wonders just what comments on it he
is making to his cronies in the celestial
Mermaid Tavern. Will he complain
bitterly, "They left out all my best
gags? Will he thrill with pride when
he reads, in Variety, that his show
crossed 1000 at Graumann'S Chinese
Theater?
1t is a fairly safe bet that viii
Shakespeare would approve heartily of
the performances of Miss Pickford as
Katharine and Mr.. Fairbanks as
Petruchio. Both are at the ultimate
top of their form in THE Tanning of
the Shrew," and more harmonious team
play between two great talents has
seldom been seen on stage or screen.
Each of them supplements, compile
mentS and enhances the other.
