100000
By ANDREW R. KELLEY

George Arliss has been attract
ing the limousine trade to the
Metropolitan Theater and is held
for a second week, his "Old Erg
lish" being the kind of picture
which appeals to those patrons
who, from time to time, are heard
asking for adult entertainment.
"Old English" is also the type
OF picture which serves as the
best crowd puller for Warner
Brothers Ambassador Theater.
This Eighteenth Street and Co
lumbia Road house serves a ciien.
teIe which w. B. feel is the most
aristocratic patronage the movies
enjoy in these United States.
Wherefore they can put the name
OF Author John Galsworthy on
the marquee sign without having
it mistaken for Charlie Chaplin $
successor
Mr.. Arliss is unique figure In
pictures. His "DiSreali" was
voted by critics the best picture
of 1929 and THE Green Goddess
was also q substantial artistic
success. At the box office he is
still some leagues behind Richard
Bathelmess.
what the 62-year-old actor will
do now that he has exhausted his
recent successes and his play bag
is empty is another question for
w. B. Arliss came to the studios
with a great talent and the We
hicles that fit it ideally. He is
not the easiest actor to fit. in
fact he is really among the most
difficult to tailor for the right
role.

brought the Georgia city.
Some time ago Paramount got
the idea that Bobby Jones would
make a fine hero for a story they
had in the office safe which re
volved around a golf theme. The
screen fiction was the SchWaE

matter Jones soon convinced the
Paramount emissary that he had
no desire to cut a ridiculous figure

to even consider 1t. So Buddy

Hollywood will take an interest
In the coming world series if the
Cardinals happen to be one of
the contenders. as now seems
assured. Orsatti, of the st.

him to forget about pictures and
go out for a diamond career.

They looked around hurriedly
for the good Samaritan, but be

LOST ARIZONA LEDGE
 MINE REPORTED FOUND

TOMBSTONE, Ariz. Oct. 2o,- What appears to be the discovery 'of the famous lost ledge" in the Bob Ingersol mine is reported. The ore bearing ledge was lost by fault ing some 40 years ago and altho periodic attempts have been made since that time for its rediscoVery, it was considered permanently lost until Bert Necia in association with Harry Palmer and Geo Vaughn, secured a lease on the property and started work last fall. That their mining theory was correct seems now to have been proven in the reported discovery of an ore body rich in gold as well as the usual silver-lead values.
