THE spirit of ambition has always
stirred up the spirit of rivalry. This
Is true of institutions as 1t is of lndl-
viduals. And the movie is an institu-
ton And had ever any man or any
thing more rivals in its day and gen.
Grafton than the movie?
Starting with the imagination of the
creator of the censor, running through
the spirit of acquisitiveness of the truly
pious, on through the theater, the vic
trola, the automobile and up to the
radio, the movie has always had to
contend with some rival that when
first recognized formed always the basis
of threat to undo the creature of the
silver sheet, silent and soundful.
The battle with the spirit of censor
ship, its deadliest foe perhaps, still
goes on, even though the guns of the
enemy reverberate sullenly with long
intervals between booms, yet there is
indubitable evidence that the war Is
still on. This perhaps is largely due to
censorship's ally, the spirit of pious
acquisitiveness, which is ever alert
seeking and searching for its own OF
for that which it yearns to annex.
The theater, the movies first open
rival, weary and worn with the short
swift, strenuous encounter with the
young giant opponent, is fairly down
If it isn't out. The victrola may have
been a movie rival, but 1t did not linger
long enough to win honorable mention
The automobile, somewhat more effec-
tive in way, may now fairly be claSsed
as neutral, even If it Is cheaper than
ever
The radio only, therefore, remains on
the field of battle, armed to the teeth
and loud roaring in its vigor, but in
reality listing in it's casuals only the
aged, the infirm and the lazy, while
the movies chief appeal is to the
spirit of youth. What, then, are the
chances of the radio against the movie.
even supposing that television Is, as
they say it is, lust around the corner?
1t should be recognized at the outset
in considering this contest that both the
movie and the radio are out for the
money. The bluff about movie art and
after alt only bluff. Both are swords
in the battle, and upon these two
swords the result of the battle must
depend.
We have, therefore, on the one hand
the lure of sweet music, reached out
after and caught from great distances
on the other hand, the bang in the eye
of the ever-present movie. Causes OPP
Grating from great distances are apt to
lose potency in their effect upon the
object against which they are directed
That everlasting, irrepresSible punch in
the eye-and now in the ear-of the
movie ought to win. and will win, in the
long run, especially as the radio is
relying in very large measure upon the
music manufactured for the movie for
it's lure of sweet sounds. its pure musi-
cal tone. In addition the movie is get
ting to the sweet sounds and pure
musical tone with a shadowy semblance
of humanity to its lure, thus lending

Movie Rivals.

the human interest touch, both for the
benefit of the eye and the ear. 1t grabs
its music from the theater stage and
the concert hall where sweet sounds
and pure musical tone originate, and
the chief rivalry of the radio Is with
the same sounds, the same tone, Dor.
rowed from the same source.
There is one great advantage the
movie has in this contest. 1t has been
wise enough to spend money and to
invoke the best that come in the way
of sound makers and musical tone pro-
ducers. The radio seems distinctly to
be losing out along this line. with its
husky Joe Miller singing comedians, its
songalogue quartets that murder the
songs they sing. its effeminate and
wornout tenors that will be heard, its
amateur baritones, and its mishandling
of large and competently equipped or
cheStras. 1t is true that some of its
numbers are wonderfully beautiful. But
it's the fillers-in that seem to be sap
ping its popularity. Among these the
wire-strung guitars and the boop-a-
la-boop and rodeo-do boys should not
be forgotten.

'He-Men" Coming In.

Josephine Dunn likes hers unasser-
tive, quiet and disposed to be rather
shy, be they blond or brunette. And it
won't matter If they are fond of out
door sports.
Virginia Bruce adores the intellec-
tuaI, the we'll read and intelligent, who
can discuss literature and philosophy
but not bookworms, and are preferably
brunettes.
Geneva Mitchell wants EN- strong
and silent, the man who would be
equally at home on a cattle range and
in a drawing room.
And there you are! But all these
chaps have to be "he-men" not what
were known as matinee idols" in 1.-The
gay nineties"

Men Preferred.
BECAUSE the openly dramatic things

"BECAusE the openly dramatic Things
in life are done more often by men
than by women" observes Jesse l..
Lasky of Paramount, 1.-The usual motion
picture cast includes more men than
women.
IT have often been asked why our
company has between two and three
men to every woman under contract"
says Mr.. Lasky. THE answer Is found
in the casts of pictures. Almost with
out exception film story as well as
stage play calls for two or three times
as many men.
1.-THE supporting casts for feminine
stars are nearly always filled with men
and often you find only one woman in a
production.
Nancy CAROLS case is a good ex-
ample. Her first starring picture was
Dangerous Paradise and OF the 10
players in the cast Miss Carroll was
the only woman with a major part.
The only others were a character actress
and a Chinese servant.
I'm The Devils Holiday Nancy
CAROLS picture, directed by Edmund
Goulding, there are Is good parts In
the production, and although it stars a
feminine player, only four of the char
acterS are women. Miss CAROLS part
of course, Is the strongest in the pic
ture. Two of the others are mere bits.
Practically every man in the picture
has a strong role, seven of which could
be classified as major parts.
Another explanation of the prepon-
derance of men over women players
may be found in the fact that require
mentS for an actor are less stringent
than for an actress. A man may reach
heights without being handsome, hut a
girl must have beauty figure, grace and
a beautiful voice. OF course there are
exceptions. but I am speaking of the
general rule"

THE most fickle thing in all the world
L is fashion. And strange to say, 1t
is both woman's ineffaceable tyrant and
her idol.
Girls never seemed to look younger,
healthier, more beautiful and never so
attractive until the picture papers
and newspaper advertisements, just as
the Spring was budding into life, began
to herald the fact that Partisan style
makers had decreed that that which
had been making them so must be
tossed into the waste, and that they
must go back to the styles of 1.-The gay
nineties."
Apparently they have leaped at the
chance. Not only that, they are pre-
pared to 60 the Partisan long skirt one
better; for they have thrown over 'the
pretty man" and 1.-The collegian," and
are now demanding the herman" &C
cording to Hollywood advices. Five
movie stars have so decreed.

honor has been bestowed on the noun

account of the great vogue of talkies.
Being silent tribute, however, it doesn't
seem quite right, or rather appropriate.
Still, it's nice to remember man by
mountain. Consider, for instance, the
Presidential range in the White Noun

such a tradition continues to wax out
