IS a grand voice floundering
around in a misfit vehicle. A
high class Romeo of the stage

If there Is to be a semblance
Of realism in screen story telling
actors must restrain from burst

neck is threatened. Mr.. Murray

Jagged.
However, there are encouraging
signs. In "Our Blushing Brides
the cast of characters is cut up

a step in the right direction or
perhaps three steps. But I am
still insisting to repeat the cast

RICHARDSON IS
BOOKED FOR
FOX STAGE
By ANDREW R. KELLEY

BY ANDREW r. KELLEY
Those who keep close track
Of box office trade winds in the
movies will tell you that Joan
Crawford, the Metro .Goldwyn
star, has a. definite and desirable
appeal with the girl patronage
Of the cinemas.
Without attempting to explain
the phenomena 1t can be set
down that the ratio Of fair fans
who turn out to watch the Craw-
ford screen histrionics as com.
pared to mere males, is not less
than six to one.
If YOU doubt 1t you are invited
to scan the lobby crowds at
Loew's Columbia for "Our Blush
Ing Brides. and make your own
estimate. I think you will find
six to one an underestimate,
rather than an exaggeration.
What Is 1t that the girls like
about Joan? Some time ago I
discreetly ventured this inquiry
to an impressionable but OBJ
serving adolescent and she said,
"Her Figure" Well, to me, she
seemed bit scrawny and not
sufficiently upholstered for the
best effect, and I said so. With
a withering contempt my inform
ant replied: That's the kind of
q figure the girls crave"
From another source comes the
opinion that the Joan Crawford
screen stories come closer to the
everyday hum-drum of the aver
age girl, to expressing her. ideals
and her hopes than the synthetic
fictions provided for her rivals.
Possibly these are the correct
answers. At any rate Crawford
at the moment pulls them up to
the ticket windows. And that is
what makes four figure salaries.

master Of ceremony, committed a
faux-pas. To be more precise,
he said that Dick had been away
for a long time but that he was
returning at last in a role that
befitted young America.
This Scorched Dick so much
that when Sill'S picture, "The

yougner playgoers, a tradition and
a name which inspires awe while
it excites a fanc:: to see the
actress who generated such a
tremendous reputation.
Maud Adams always preserved
an aloofnesS and aversion to pub
licity in her golden days. She
has never been interviewed for
the press. She seldom, if ever,
appeared in public while touring
and her dressing room door was
barred to everybody except a few
privileged intimateS. There was
always mystery about her which
added to the glamour. OF the
actresses of today only Greta
Garbo exhibits a similar ten
dency to remain far away from
the prytng publicist. Her art
must speak for her.
