They are descendants, for the most
part, of hardy pioneers, English, Irish
and Scottish, who left their native
heaths to seek adventure and wealth
In the new world. Their ancestors
pushed westward from the Atlantic
slope and many found spots to their
liking in the rugged hills and they
remained Understanding for their
women folk and founding settlements
which persist until the present time.
Their civilization and culture is that
of an earlier day. but their courage
loyalty and morals are proven quail

During the World War Uncle Sam
found many of his best soldiers among
the mountaineers. They were crack
shots, courageous to high degree and

"WHATS in name?" asks petite

Fancies," a Capitol Theater New York;
presentation, which Is now playing at
Loews Columbia Theater.
MY real name Is Esther Kait," she
went on to say. THAT was the name
I was born with In Philadelphia; that
was the name I went to school with,
and I think that 1t Is a nice name.
But when I wanted to go on the stage
my manager said must change my
name. He then explained the pSy-
chology of stage names. The first name
should suggest the persons character
and appearance. For instance, Juno
would never do for little girl. know
a girl whose name Is Angelo, and she
Is one of the prettiest, sweetest little
blends have ever seen. Her name Is
right. But can you imagine Abigail
was a stage name? It sounds like a
Puritan and there is no appeal in it.
And so my manager suggested Lillian
Dawson as my name, to convey the
idea that waS-er-small, or whatever
else the name suggests" she added
with q modest smile.

Au Revoir "reminiscences.


IT II Stoddard Taylor's custom each
Saturday night at the close Of the
weeks engagement to make little tour
Of the dressing rooms backStage In his
playhouse to wish each actor dodspeed
and success in their various ventures.
Incidentally he carries with him on
these midnight strolls leather-bound
book, in which he treasures the auto
graphs Of almost every actor and pro.
ducer who has graced his theater these
many, many years.
Occasionally he Is vouchsafed O bit
of personal history not known to the
many who nightly watch them across
the footlights.
The evening he said good-by to the
"MarSeilles" company, Dudley Digges
told him that he remembered well his
first appearance at the Belasco Theater
with the Ben Greet Players, more than
IS years ago. It was Mr.. Greet's first
American tour and also, Mr.. Digges'
| first glimpse of this country.
Hubert bruce also grew reminiscent
and told Mr.. Taylor of his first appear
ance here AZ years ago at the old Ma
tional Theater with Richard Mansfield
in Richard III" THAT production" he
said, has gone down in theatrical his
tory as being the finest thing of its
kind ever presented before or since that
time"
Little Miss Frances Torchiana wi1is-
pered to Mr.. Taylor that In "Marseilles"
Mr.. Miller had given her her first
chance at professional part and slle
did hope New York was going to like

Famous Bel-Air Stables.

BEAUTIFUL Bel-Air one Of the ex-
~ elusive residence districts in Amer
lea, was the scene of the filming Of
one Of the most important sequences of
Sunny" starring Marilyn Miller. The
story Is laid at a fashionable mountain
Summer resort, which has a riding
academy and a gymnasium as part Of
its equipment.
The Bel-Air stables, "where a horse
is treated like human being" were
used for these scenes. The stables are
rambling uncovered, stone affair,
resembling millionaire's mansion
rather than a home for horses, and
1t Is here the nillionaires Of Southern
California come to take their rides over
the bride paths Of the 10000 acre Bel
Air estate The exercise ground Of
stables resemble a park.
A hundred and nifty extras, all Of
whom are excellent horsemen and
horeswomen, appeared in these scenes.

NO more alluring story has been toll

NO more alluring story has been told
on stage or screen than that Of
outward Bound" the Warner Bros
Vitaphone production.
The screen story is an adaptation of
the play by Sutton Vane which gripped
New York and London audiences several
seasons ago.
The theme, very unusual, Is so deity
treated that an idyll Of compelling ten
dernesS is evolved which makes it ire
sistible. 1t has to do with the effort of
two despairing youthful lovers to leave
this world for another In which they
hope their love may go on forever.
Douglas Fairbanks, jr., and Helen
Chandler are the lovers, and Leslie
Howard, a neer do well, who, with a
number Of "phantoms," find themselves
aboard mysterious vessel bound for
the place Of ultimate reward and pun
ishment." A notable supporting cast
contributes to the unfolding of a ro-
nance which is one of the real gems of
the American theater.

Talkies Exact Much.

ALTHOUGH much progress has been
"A made in the improvement Of talk
ing pictures during the past three years,
strangely enough this same improve
ment has been the cause of much added
work to the actor, according to Conrad
Nagel, one of the first talkie stars, who
renders" at the Rialto Theater.
when I made my first talking pic
ture, Glorious Betsy" says Mr.. Nagel,
there was much to be hoped for in
the matter of accurate recording. At
that time, however, picture audiences
were not accustomed to hearing the
voices of actors and actresses come from
the screen. This undoubtedly was q
pictures certainly gave us voices Of
which we were far from proud.
With the improvement of sound re-
cording came new hurdle for the actor
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-11-23

to clear. Better sound recording meant
that we must all be more careful Of cur
diction. Each little f1aw was irrevo-
cably captured by the microphone, and
our future as talking picture stars de-
pended upon giving performances which
were above technical criticism.
Then. too, competition became greater
with the establishment of the talking
pictures as q definite medium Of enter
tainment. The novelty Of hearing your
favorite silent stars speak was Q thing
OF the past. Today an actor or an
actress must be able not only to ex-
press through actions and facial express
sion the emotions which he or she In
terpretS, but the voices must express
these same feelings.
Audiences today are Camera wise
and far more critical than at any time
in the history Of the silent motion
picture"
