THAT not 30 familiar press agents
paper, The Quill, recently has been
bombarding It's readers with sugges-
tons as to "how to save the legitimate
stage from being swallowed up by the
movies"
George M. Conan has given his own
views In direct reply to what The gum
has been arguing. He declares that
what is necessary Is more action ana
less talking. Although Of late more OF
an actor than a producer, Mr.. Cohans
outlook can always be counted upon as
refreshing.
In his semi-comic vein he says: IF
I were a manager and had the power,
I'd make big box-ofice business catch
ing. II wanted TO save the show
business, I'd stop wishing and do some
thing! The theater needs a lot OF
doingl -
"I'd ask Congress to impose a tariff
against the talkies. They outtalk us
undersell us and import foreign labor
I'd want tariff against radio an
nouncers, also.
"I'd keep the drama clean as q
hounds tooth. even II We played te
empty seats. That one is on the level
"I'd let press agents put in sales
campaigns, so play that ran year
on Broadway could live on the road
That's turkey talk, too.
I'D fine any manager that an
nounced his show after a year in New
York If he stopped there without say
ing lin Gaines storehouse.'
I'D have a moral business code fol
the theater and make It imperative tc
see Gambling or any other Gorge M
Conan show at least once week-ii
I were a manager.

Favors Sunday Movies.

FROM the great open spaces Of Kansas
comes a plea by Rev. DR.. Burris A.
Jenkins, pastor Of the Linwood Boule-
ward Christian Church, for liberation as
regards the matter of Sunday movies.
DR.. Jenkins is quoted in Q news re-
port as saying: Since churches may
show motion pictures Sunday, why
should not theaters be permitted to
show them. We always have been able
to get good plays and for the most part
these screen stories are as moral as the
general run of literature.
THE public is the best censor. No
one mind or group Of minds is big
enough to pass upon what should be
said or seen by people Of any nation
or all nations.
1T is dificult for anybody to estimate
the power of the film. The motion pic
ture does what we have so long neglect
ed to do: it walks through the widest
gate into the mind, the heart, the soul
Of the individual 1t reaches in the
most concrete fashion in which instruc-
ton can be conveyed-through the eye,
Now 1t is combining the two gateways,
the eyes and the ear"

Old PLAYS for New.

Erred with the possibilities Of re-
touching erstwhile plays and silent
movies, motion picture producers are
diving feverishly into their archives TO
see what they can find. Play after play
is seeing the light once more. All this
is due to the introduction Of sound into
the films.
The moth balls that are being tossed
aside seem to be falling fastest from
the covers of Western stories. At least
so the Fox officials claim.
However, the sad fate OF many a
stage play. cut, twisted and reduced to
a mere pulp in the silent movies, Is now
being remodeled for its return in ALI
talking, all-singing, all-dancing" sound,
embelliShed also with music.
Cameo Kirby" for instance, the play
that Booth Harrington and Harry Leon
Wilson made such a success in 1906
which was revamped into silent MIN
| that could do justice to John Gilbert's
profile and very little else, Is about to
begin life all over again under the
sponsoring of the Fox Film Corpora
ton. Always essentially romantic, the
story will now have music to make II
even more so.
Furthermore, there will be j. Harold
Murray to wear the fine clothes anc
Jewels of the dandifled river gambler
and sing himself into the hearts OF the
ladies.

Flashes From the Screen
MEMS and Comment of the Picture World
=BY c. E. NELSONI

| A CCORDING to Hollywood, the
year 1929 was bust" but the
year 1880 Is to be a boom year, and
the prosperity ballyhoo is being
broadcast to far corners OF the Ma
ton. To prove what they say the
Hollywood boosters say the new
year already shows the prospect
of unusual prosperity. In the
studios, Paramount plans a big
expansion during the next IL
months;A the Fox company is
working on 80 new pictures, and
other producing companies are
planning far ahead. In immediate
prospect for Washington theater-
goers are several of the former
stage musical successes. These
have been turned into gigantic
sound productions and all are
scheduled for early screening In
the Capital.
Short Flashes.
YOU have not heard the last of
- "Abie's Irish Rose" In Paris.
a few days ago, the Paramount
Theater was kept open for 80
hours in one stretch to accom-
modate the crowds clamorlng Tor
admission. The doors were opened
at IL o'clock on Tuesday morning
and they were not closed until
/ 80 o'clock Thursday morning.
"Blaze o. Glory" the new Eddie
Bowling picture, is said to be a
mans picture" whatever that
may mean. Betty Compson has a
part, but it is rather insignificant,
and unless America is fed up on
war pictures, it is a very good
entertainment. Henry B. Walthall
has his best role in several years
and his voice is said to register
especially well.
Jack Oakie and Polly Walker
are practically the whole show in
the musical screening of Hit the
Deck" The picture is in color.
Vina Delmar, writer Of rather
startling fiction, has been signed
by Warner Brothers to produce
original screen stories.
Hollywood rumorS that have
reached Washington are to the
effect that Clara Bow may not
continue with Paramount and
that John Gilbert and Lon CLANCY
will not continue with Metro
Goldwyn- Mayer. However, they
will remain in screen work, and
there is really no occasion to
worry about them.
Knute Rockne, it is said, will
turn movie actor some time this
Winter. The director of the Notre
Dame foot ball team has a part
in Good News" produced by
Metro Goldwyn-Mayer.
Perhaps you have forgotten
Roscoe Arbuckle. Well, he is
supervising and directing come
dies at the Mack Sennett studio,
in Hollywood.
Sol Lesser, who jumped into the
limelight as the producer OF
Jackie Coogan pictures, is now
specializing in the screen versions
of the Harold Bell Wright stories.
His first production will be eyes
of the World" with Henry King
directing.
Marie DRESSER and Polly Moran
have made such hits in the talk1es
that they are now working over
time. Just when comedy teams
were supposed to have been dis
carded these two come back
and they have walked away with
several of the recent musical pro-
auctions. Laurel and Hardy seem
to be the most popular of the
male teams, and many OF the old
ones have broken up.
Joseph Schildkraut has been
assigned by Universal to the star
role in "The Car of Broadway"
Production starts within a few
weeks.
John Boles is to have star
singing part in "Serenade," writ
ten by Konrad Bercovici. Others
of the cast have not yet been an
nounced.

Long Skirts to Modify
Music.

HTHE new long dresses will help 70
change music" says Harry Tier
new. composer of Rio Rita" who Is
now doing the music for Radio Pictures
'Dixiana."
"Rhythms are returning to the stately
tempo of the waltz and the minuet,
says Mr.. Tierney. THE public is VI
brating now toward better music. Peo-
pie are super-saturated with the dam
cial themes. My vision is Of day
when every tune one hears won't be
fox-trot."
Tierney has had career OF brilliant
successes, including Irene" kid
Boots" three editions of the "Folltes
for Florenz ziegfeld and numerous other
musical shows. alice Blue Gown" Is

Cymbolon Will Soothe.

7 LILLIAN GISH, with an honest-to-
- goodness Gypsy orchestra, will be
outstanding features in the film YER
sion of THE Swan"
What this news from Hollywood
means Is not exactly clear, except that
there should be sonorous quality about
the music which has been noticeabily
lacking In recent Aims. It seems that
much of the new noise will come from
an instrument known as the cymbolon,
species Of halfbreed clavier and xylo-
phone, which is supposed to have q
soothing pleasantness about 1t.
At any rate, the cymbolon will serve
to guide Miss Gish through Ferenc
Molnar,s delightful comedy and likewise
help out Marie Dressler, Rod La ROGUE
and Conrad Nagel.
