There is only one thing that can
say to you Paul and that Is that you

mushy things nor make remarks that

When you say anything say it with

those temptations you have to make

someone else. Turn some Of those

have them laugh with you and not
at YOU your chances Of making
friends will be doubled many, many

Nancy Gets Jeanne $ Rold.
THE LATE Jeanne Eagles was to hak.

THE late Jeanne Eagles was to have
created on the stage the part which
Nancy Carroll is portraying in Edmund
Goulding's talking picture, 1.-THE Devils:
Holiday" IT,.
This fact was revealed by Goulding,
who wrote the original story. adapted
1t, constructed the dialogue, directed
the picture and composed the produc-
ton song.
1.-THE story originally was called The
Woman in the Wheat and was written
as play for Miss Eagles" Goulding
explained. "a. H. Woods, New York
producer, was to have staged 1t. Miss
Eagles herself was looking forward to
playing the character of the hardened
Middle Western manicurist. Her un-
timely death halted these plans"
B. P. Schulberg listened to the orig
inal version Of the story, cruel study
of a woman's soul, and. continues
Goulding: with few deft touches
Schulberg represented the play to me
as he saw 1t might be made into a sue
cessful motion picture for Nancy Car
roll. agreed with him, and the results
have more than justified our faith in
the story"

Everybody an Actor.

THE motion picture owes its fame to
being the most popular amusement
today because every human Is at heart
an actor. John Cromwell, who is now
directing Gary Cooper in THE Texan"
says so.
Nearly five centuries ago Shake
Speare said: All the worlds o stage
and all the men and women merely
players" explained Cromwell. "That
statement is just as true today.
Every one acts from childhood.
That Is why we like to see make-believe
stories carried out by others and why
We can throw ourselves into the various
parts and really live with the players
during the show.
This dramatic instinct usually sur
wives throughout life, although some
times 1t Is crushed by adverse circum-
stances.
1t finds expression in strange forms
The lodge man puts on his regalia from
dramatic instinct. He Is acting a part
If he rises to be exalted ruler or grand
potentate he is thrilled at being the
star Of the play.
Even In athletics we find drama.
Foot ball Is 80 per cent theatrical, as
shown by the marching bands, roofing
sections, corsage bouquets, pennants,
student parades and even the loud whis-
Ting OF od1cials."

Stanhope, Osborne, Raleigh and the

dressed up in German uniforms. The

hope that am comparatively alone
in this deep-rooted objection to the dia-

"ToURNEY's END" is being hailed
with loud cheers in England,
where its appearance on the screen was
looked forward to with dark suspicion
in view Of the fact that it was made in
Hollywood. Englishrnen naturally re-
gard r. G. Sherriff's play as their own
sacred property, like Magma Charta or
WSS1AilA1otSk 1uUcy VI IllS FIlIlCe OF
Wales.
The film rights to Journeys End"
were acquired by a British company,
Gainsborough, in conjunction with an
American corporation which bears the
name of Tiffany. At first 1t was in
tended to make the picture In London,
but 1t was later decided that HOLLYWOOD
was the more practical place.
To make sure that Hollywood would
not mutilate this masterpiece, a see
mario of Journeys End" was made in
England with the approval, I believe,
of Mr.. Sheriff himself).' This scenario
was sent to America with instructions
that it be followed exactly 1t started
with scenes in rural England before the
war, introduced the heroine unseen in
the play and with her the love interest.
When the officials of the Tiffany cor
poration scrutinized this scenario they
decided to pay no attention to 1t, and
instead made the picture a word-for-
word copy of the original play.
SO now even the more vociferous of
the English patriots are taking back
some of the things they've said about
Hollywood. Whatever its crimes in the
past, 1t failed to ruin Journeys End"
and for that It is being cordially
blessed.

"Hell's Angels Is Finished.

"EINISHED at lastl" Howard Hughes,
24-year-old producer, recently
patting his four-year- the making
picture, "Hell's Angels" on its cellu-
loid back, Is said to have then sighed
and glanced at his checkbook, $4,000
900 had gone out of It!
And so the long, long camera grind,
that for time went backward as well
as forward, has come to an end. This
film which was placed in production
october 81, 1927, has been nodded
ultimately into its final shape.
During these four years of produc-
ton 81 airplanes and 1877 aviators were
used, 1,700 extras appeared in an In
fantry battle sequence, and IS camera
men and IL cutters worked on the film,
while 227.000 air miles were flown for
the camera.
The film was photographed first,
silently, and then remade entirely as q
talking picture.
But think Of the money It put into
circulation!

back to the eleventh century, was
chosen, appropriately enough, to sit at
the right of Alexander Gray, leading
man Of the picture, at royal banquet,
in the picture. But all she did was
sit-nothing more. Another prominent
extra was Prince Lucca Trubetzkoy,
nephew of the famous sculptor, Paola
Trubetzkoy. Generals were in the
group, too. Viatcheslan Savitzky Of
the Kuban Cossacks, Gen. Theodore
Lodijensky Of the Imperial Guards, and
Gen. Alexander Ikonnikof Of the
Cars foot guards.
Many other Russian notables in the
group marched at the word Of Director
Alan Crosland. There were also said
to be many "reminiscences Of the
Cars court. Friends who had not
met since the revolution met again, as
did enemies. Monarchist and peasant
worked side by side-all thirsty for

However, it Is for Mr.. Laemmle to
enjoy the last laugh, for he has now
placed his much-discussed production
on view and proved to the satisfaction
of all that it is an amazingly faithful
transcript of the bitter book. From
the schoolmaster's first inf1ammatory
speech to his patriotic pupils, to the
episode of the three soldiers and the
three French girls, to the final, awful
scream of the sniper's bullet, "All Quiet

In one serious respect is "All Quiet
