with silent films. Her characterizations
are broad her angle on life sharp
one which throws some sordid facts
into cruel, high relief. Talk has en-
abled movies to give more telling inter-
pretations than with the old method. In
Silent pictures a doubtful woman-or,
rather. I should say lady of doubtful
morals-was characterized by placing a
! cigarette in her hand, whisky decan-
| ter on the buffet and a neglige Of more
| transparency that taste on the torso.
But, sad at it may seem, some OF our
nicer women have taken to these tao
tics. It takes talk to define member
of the feminine gender in her true
light.
The move to give talkies better music
is firmly begun. Harry Tierney, pur-
veyor of jazz, declares the celluloid pub
lie has tendency to anticipate Debussy
and Brahms in forthcoming gelatin
reels.
So many companies have sought vari-
GUS creators of the higher musical
theme in the past months without set
Ting any scores one way or another that
it is not wise to prognosticate along this
line.
There is still a cry Of playing down
to the level of our public" sounding
through the studios. And I think 1t is
the greatest mistake producers are max
ing. Sounding the level of public
isn't easy. But such differences as
draw from letters that come to me re-
garding the trend of the talkies are
! all pointing toward a progression In
| public taste. Many of the criticisms
| directed at plays and players amaze
me in their keen analysis Of the weak
spots in story construction and inter-
probation.
Old Hollywood Flash.
And flash Of the real old Hollywood
struck out of an audience so largely
cosmopolitan Sunday night that at a
| glance we might have been in any
American city. Mae West was giving
her Diamond Lii Characterization. The
audience, generously sprinkled with
New Workers VINO have been incor-
porated into the life of this colony
without in the least being familiar as
yet to the local public, seemed as I'M
glamorous as any group of people gath
cred together in amusement's name.

and Mrs. John Barrymore Dolores Cos

Lowell Sherman's evening clothes
were as impeccable as If he had been

before a theater audience. Helen Cos
tellos invariable black included Shout
der length gloves Of dull kid, on which
glittered an array Of many inches OF
diamond bracelets.
Lowell Sherman screwed a monocle
into his eye and began leisurely SIR
veying the house Helene Costello lifted
her lorgnette and languidly swept the
mob beneath her, her jaws the while
busily engaged with a wad of gum.
4 second glance revealed the fact that
what seemed a gay and spirited con-
versation among the entire group was
only an assiduous attention to theil
chicle.
Monocles and lorgnette, sables and err

all the changes in tempo and taste;
Hollywood the undefeated, unadulter-

of the House. He said Rizal's poem,

a Filipino was shot by the Spaniards
for high treason. And he concluded his
speech With an imprisoned plea for the
Filipino, which was both eloquent and
convincing.

Speakers request to name conferees for

first submitted these names would lose
possession of the bill. In thus holding

he looms as an important figure in the
forthcoming struggle.
Cooper's interest in the Filipino's
fight for independence dates back to a
June afternoon of 1902. He had just
come from committee meeting, called
to decide whether the islands were
ready for an elected House of Represent
atives. For long hours he had sat
listening to sweeping concentrations of
all Filipinos as savages and barbarians.
Strolling down Pennsylvania avenue
from the Capitol on his way home, he
paused in front Of book shop. He was
attracted by the colorful Jacket Of
novel in the window, and asked to
see It,
It was DR.. Jose Rizal's "Noli Me
