FAMOUS SHORT
FILM. GIVEN
SOUND
BY ANDREW r. KELLEY

One of the greatest short
features ever made was killing
the Killer" a celluloid record Of
a fight to the death between a
mongoose and his ancient enemy,
a cobra.
There was no nature fakery
about this. It was a real battle
to a finish between a tropical
animal-which looks like a cross
between a beaver and a rat
and one Of the most deadly of
reptiles. The mongoose deals
the K. o. to the snake and drags
him off. He wins the fight by
firing out his adversary and then
delivering the fatal bite.
The news Of this paragraph is
that killing the Killer" has
been fitted out with sound and
dialogue and will soon be re-
issued. In fact it is being re.
leased with the descriptive story
of the fight provided by DR.. Ray
mond L. DittmarS, curator Of the
New York Geological Garden.
"Loew's Theaters will show it
again very soon, and If you
haven't yet seen this picture, my
advice is don't miss it on the re-
issue.

JOURNEYS END
HELD OVER
AT KEITH'S

The all-dialogue screen version
of r. C. Sherriff's famous wal
play, Journeys End" having
played to crowded houses during
the past week, is held over a
second week. 1t is a perfect
transfer Of the play to celluloid-
accurate in lines, Interpretation
of characters and in spirit, SO
stirring, so realistic that it be
comes something that the audi
ence seems to participate in.
There is no conventional
progress of story and detailed
plot, but to say that it had NO
action is to say that the war was
without action; to say it had no
story is to say the war was with
out story. Yet, so great a play
is Journeys End" that its action
and story become submerged in
the horrible actualities Of the war
itself.

MARION NIXON
BEGAN AS
AN EXTRA

Marian Nixon, charming in
genue who is featured in "Cour-
age" Warner Bros. and Vitaphone
picture now at Warmers Metropoli-
tan Theater, has a record of steady
advancement in her film career.
Slowly, but surely, she has risen
from the ranks Of the extras to a
place among the screens most
prominent featured artists.
Miss Nixon was born in Superior,
Wisconsin, and made her first
stage appearance in a motion pic
ture theater prologue in Min
neapolis. She left Minneapolis
with vaudeville troupe as a mem
Der of a girls chorus. With this
company, she toured the West
finally landing in Los Angeles.
Here the troupe was stranded.
Unshaken in her determination
to become a screen actress, Mar
ian decided to crash" the film
studios. She first received recog-
milton from Mack Sennett, from
whom she went to Fox to play
in THE Temple of Venus" This
brought her to the notice Of stu
dio officials and she was given
parts in Kentucky Days" Big
Dan" THE Vagabond Trail" and
"Cupid's Fireman" with John
Gilbert, The Last Of the
Duanes," Rider Of the Purple
Sage" with rom Mix.
Signing a chree-year contract
with Universal, Miss Nixon was
featured in a number Of films
for that studio with such players
as Reginald Denny, Jean Her
sholt and George Lewis.
Her most recent pictures in
clude Red Lips" with Charles
Rogers; out of the Ruins" with
Richard Barthelmess.
When she appeared in I'm the
Headlines" with Grant Withers
for Warner Bros, she signed
long-term contract to play in
Vitaphone productions. Her first

Warner Brother think they

Janney, who takes most of the
honor in the Metropolitan Thea
ter feature, Courage" The kid
was recruited from vaudeville
when it was found necessary to
get a percocious juvenile for the
screen adoption Of the Tom
Barry Play. He has wonderful
part in the picture-one chuck
full of appeal-and scores bulls

Belle Bennett Gets
Another Mother Role

Belle Bennett, who has por-
trayed a number Of roles on both
stage and screen, is the mother

ner's Metropolitan Theater.
In Courage" Miss Bennett en-.
acts the widowed parent Of seven
children, all but one Of whom
turn against her despite her val
liant efforts to give them every.
thing they desire.
Miss BENEFITS Characterization
in Courage" is said to be her
most convincing portrayal to date,
which is saying a great deal.
Who has forgotten Miss BENEFITS

Courage" is whimsical, impul-
sive, and blessed with humcr.
She Is a spendthrift Of both

WincheU Calls Him
Horrors LiDeriQht

After Horace Liveright pro-
duced the mystery play Ora
cula," Walter Winchell, the critic
columnist, labelled him Horrors
Liveright and the label has be-
come part of Broadway's lingo
for "Dracula" is a veritable
symposium of horrors and thrills.
This is the play that Is the Ma
tional Players present for the
new week.
"Dracula" differs from most
thrillers in that it deals with the
supernatural. The fact that it
ran for four years on Broadway
and on the road indicates the ex-
tent to which it differs from all
its predecessors.

AMERICAN BAR
TO TAKE SECRET
DRY LAW POLL
Attitude of 10000 U. S.
Lawyers Toward Repeal
to Be Learned.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, July 1.-THE Amer
lean Bar Association will begin a
secret poll in two weeks among its
10000 lawyer members throughout
the country to determine their at
titude toward repeal of the
eighteenth amendment.
Decision to undertake the poll
was made after twelve years OF
aloofness from the prohibition con-
troversy.
The executive committee Of the
association said it no longer could
resist pressure from within the
membership ranks for an expression
of opinion on the subject.
For some time one wing Of the
association, called the Voluntary
Committee of Lawyers, has been
urging the association to go or
record either for or against the
amendment.
An attempt of this sort was made
at the last. convention, in Mem
phis, and at previous gatherings, but
the executive committee, on each
occasion, prevented a direct vote or
referendum on the plea that pro-
hibition was a controversial and po-
litical subject and that only
relatively small number of members
were on hand to vote.
For that reason it has been de-
cided, in conducting the coming
poll, to allow the members as
whole to say whether the vote
should be made public. The ballots
will be sent out July Is, along with
bills for annual membership dues.
