HERMAN TnMBERG is back again at
Ioew's Palace Theater as star OF
new Capitol Theater stage revue, la
beled "Dizzy Daze."
Sparrow-iike in stature, completely
lost in his diversified clothes and squint-
ing through q pair of thick-lenSed spec
tacleS, It Is difncult to conceive that
Herman Timberg is one Of the master
ftll minds OF the comedy stage.
It probably Is not widely known that
this little man is the author OF his own
comedy, that he wrote all the
big revues in which he headlined
for years In vaudeville, and also
the comedy for Dizzy Daze." Her
man also stages his shows, and has un-
earthed many . now prominent musical
comfy artist, including Bee, Palmer,
Sunny Jarmon and Dave. Schooler. He
has written vaudevius acts for the -Four
Marx Brothers and the "Our Gang
comedy kids.
Like Jolson, Cantor, George JeSsel
and others who were part Of Gus Ed
wards School Days" company, he Is q
boy from the East Side of New York.

WE have been told that the sue
w. cess of the experiment of in
Producing sound into the silent
picture leaves nothing more to be
desired; that with sound we now
can have the beauty of music, the
intelligence impaired by the dia-
logue, the clatter of the shoes
with the grace of the dancer, even
the roar of the earthquake and
the salvos of the artillery Moth
ing in the way of sounds that can
Startle the human ear but may be
caught and transformed to the
silent screen, thus making it q
living, talking thing" every bit as
good as q human and sometimes
Just a little better, because Of the
great possibilities of the screen"
But right here comes the real rub.
The little dinguS that catches all
the sounds the director wants for
his picture is dumb little dtngus,
for it catches with equal facility
all the sounds he doesn't want,
and it Is those, very sounds he
doesn't want that ball up the pic
tIlre. The movie has not yet de-
viSed o discriminating dinguS, and
until It does, what is it simply
forced to do? Nothing more nor
less than to forsake the great
outdoorS-the greatest charm of
pictures generally-and to limit
It's picture making to interior,
gound-proof studios, where its
boosted range viii be no greater
than that OF the ordinary stage
play. This is going to be q serious
iniShap for the movie. And the
movie knows 1t. Already it is be-
ginning to sing the praises of the
German process whereby small
models and photographs may be
blended in with camera efforts in
the studio $50 that nobody will
ever know It." especially as the
trick is turned with mirrors and
lighting effects. But some day
somebody Is going to find it all

, maCCer OF using the TlgnC dialogue
words, instead of many" - the
words are quoted fresh from the
sheet of the publicity writer who
aims to convey Miss Anderson'S
idea. 1t Is just possible that the
publicity scribe has forgotten
something, or else has lost great
deal that was intended in Miss
AnderSon's explanation. The
scribe, however, is also of the
Paramount brand, and as such,
perhaps, is the master of his
speech, if not of his soul. OF
course, Miss Anderson was en-
deavoring to tell what a wonder
full change is effected in impart-
ing speech to the silent picture
drama, and how vital it is to sup
ply the proper language to the
player who Is endeavoring to Gre
ate a dramatic character. He just
simply failed to connect. How
ever that may be, even with the
correct dialogue to fit the char
acteriZation, will 1t not be freely
admitted that there is really a
difference between humanity as
God has created it and humanity
as the camera man photographs
it, whether it speaks or not?

HOLLYWOOD has the eeriest
way of unlocking mysteries.
Now comes the news that it has
discovered that technicolor i'm
parts an emotional value to every
thing In the show. 1.-THE proper
use Of color with music brings
new charm in the melodies, and
songs about sunsets and rainbows,
that heretofore have been sung in
black and white, perhaps IN sepia
also, take on new emotional val
ues when the rainbows and the
sunsets are flashed in colors. Even
actors find they can bring added
tears to the eyes of their audi
enceS, or more laughs, or gasps,
when their scenes are shot in
colorS chosen to stimulate desired
emotions" It should not be for
gotten that pictures for the new
season are going to be abundantly
technicolored, and that the fore
going emotional suggestions are
merely intended to pave the way
for an appreciative reception.
Besides, doesn't q diffusion of
colors always make a home more
cheerful, II one stays at home to
see instead Of going to the movies,
