Just about once-or maybe twice
> in lifetime a great and rare per-
sonality attracts the attention of the
theatrical world to the seeming oblivion
of every one else. This, of course, Is
never actually the case. But just as
the past prides itself on "reminiscences
of the divine" Sarah Bernhard, when
such f1ambuoyant personalities as the
great Duse were still very much in the
foreground, so this age has taken a
particular actress unto itself and for
the first time not an actress of the
stage.
To say that Greta Carlo is the most
arresting theatrical personality of the
present moment is not an exaggera-
ton. Never in all the annals Of grease
paint activities was there more breath
less speculation than over Miss CARLOS
voice, when her first talking picture,
'tAnna Christie" was released. There
is no doubt now that this was an i'm
portant event. For with the revela-
ton that her artistry was heightened
by the quality of her voice, Greta i'm
mediately found secure that peculiar
niche she had prepared for herself in
silent pictures
Although Miss Carlo is for the mo-
ment confined to the films, the effect OF
her marked power on the entertain
ment world is far-reaching. When

compare her with the most striking
actresses of the past. when he can liken
her to the best there ever has been,
then surely it is time to stop and
ponder-if not to agree.
If anybody knows his theater, 1t is
David BelaSco. Last Sunday Maj.
Bowes of the Capitol Theater, New
York, read -o over the radio - really
brilliant tribute of Belasco's to Miss
Carlo. This quiet retiring little lady
she has never allowed herself to be
interviewed or held up before the pub
lie eye-surely at that moment came
into her own. Whatever the cinema
world may say about her greatness Is
more or less of juvenile opinion-just
as it is a juvenile industry (although
the fifth largest in the world. But
when a man like Belasco puts the
wreath of fame on the brow of a per-
son technically without the pale of the
theater, then there has occurred an
event of real Importance.
Miss Carlo has taken her work seri-
ously. Each part, from Anna Christie"

were not the type that could bring

MAGGIE and Mac,

John MCCORMACK is generally
y credited with having brought the art
of enunciation to a point as near per-
lection as ever has been attained by
any singer, and thereby hangs a tale.
When Mccormack was a student in
Summerhill College, Sligo Ireland, he
was invited to appear at concert to
be given by some of the townSpeople
As a special inducement he was in
formed that he would receive the mu-
nificent sum of 5 Shillings ($1.25). He
had never sung in public before and
was somewhat difhdent as to his abil-
tiles to entertain an audience, but he
could make good use of the five shil-
lings, so he decided to accept the prof.
fered engagement.
At the college there was an old cook
who was very fond of young John. She
attended the concert and was among
those who shook his hand and congrat-
ulated him after the concert. And did
you really like my singing, Maggie?"
asked Mccormack. "Shure. an 1t was
fine, Johnny Darlin'," she answered,
but why did We sing in them foreign
languages"
He made no comment on her remark
at the time, but it sank deep. All the
songs had been sung in English.
So he determined to perfect his enun-
citation. 1t was not a little task 1t
was not a brief one. But he set him.
self to work resolutely and in the end
the simple remark of a humble cook
in Sligo bore golden fruit. Go to the

Realize" Makes It's Bow.

4 NEW type of film providing wide
"A film effect on the screen without
the necessity of special projection ma
chimes has been announced by Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer. The new film, known
as Realize" will provide the wide film
effect hitherto possible only by the
use of special projection machines at
cost prohibitive to the average theater.
It's use requires only few changes
in the ordinary projection machine now
employed throughout the world. The
same protector will handle both new
and old types of film.
There are several advantages to be
derived from Realize f1lm," said Louis
B. Mayer recently. First, there is the
common availability of the wide screen,
or of picture filling all the screen
space in the theater. Second, there is
a three dimensional approach, or the
creation of better perspective through
greater depth of focus. In the third
place, we will have greater naturalness,
avoiding the loss of realism that often
follows a shallow focus We will have
a greater sweep and scope in motion
picture photography, permitting the
effective screening of mass spec
tacles."

IN the same year that George Wash

crossing the Tiber to regale the good

first of the Les GheZzis.
That GheZzi invented among other
things the roll over" which is said to
be the most difficult feat in hand to
hand balancing, and five generations OF
Ghezzis have made their bows before
the footlights since that distant day.
Each has contributed something toward
the perfection and evolution of the roll

The present Ghezzis, Paul and Nino,
are featured in Frozen KaperS." the

this week They are now presenting
their variation-the slow motion roll

ago in the Ziegfeld Follies may recall
the feat in which one brother lying
prone balances the other hand to hand
while rolling across the carpet. A COM

Serious Business.

"THIS business of being funny is
serious work." say Olsen and
Johnson, the stage and screen opponents
of monkey business.
They work harder TO make other
people laugh they claim, than most
folk do in an effort TO make their first
million or to meet the next payment
on the radio
Their quest for new gags" funny
situations, and comedy lines even sur
passes the earnestness of stock ex-
change floor operator trying to unload
on a falling market with two minutes
to go before the exchange closes.
Their countenances assume a rigid
seriousness when working over comedy
situation with which later they hope
to throw audiences into gales of
laughter.
On the screen or stage every one will
agree they are a singularly merry pair.
But off screen they are all business, for
they are constantly inventing new
laughs thinking up funny things, and
observing comic occurrences that hap
pen to themselves and to other people.
Both carry q pad and pencil and
jot down any funny idea they think of
or observe. When they have time they
rehearse 1t.
