HOLLYWOOD, March 17.-Loud was the wa1ing at the supposed passing of movie westerns" and very, very sad were the scenes when the talkies threatened death to real outdoor action.
 But nobody stood around crying when the movie vamp disappeared from the lot!
 The westerns, villain and all, came galloping back from their fu- neral to a merry box office tune. The talkies soon learned to talk in the open air.
 But where, ahl where are last years vamps?
 Where is the whole sinking sis terhood, with deadly eyes and soot-black eyelids that lured the fair-haired hero?
 The answer is that vamps are still here. But you'd never recog- nize the gals. Styles change, in movies as in dress, and the style in movie vamps has changed as completely as styles in women's clothes.
 Theda Bara, of course, started the whole business in "A Fool There Was" adapted from Kipling's poem, The Vampire
 "Vamp" was not word until Theda came along to make 1t a verb as well as a noun for the vast American movie audience.
 In 1915, when it was released, the picture was a riot. Today the Bara technic of fatal allure, and her makeup for the role, would just be funny.
 The talkie vamp, the real modern edition, has a technic vastly differ ont, far more subtle She has been inoculated with new qualities of verve and vivacity, has new kind Of smouldering.
 Consider Greta Garbo, with her terrific intensity, Clara Bow, all life and action, and the ultra-cute persuasive feminine dynamo which is Eff Dorsay.
 Then there's Edna Murphy, an- other modern vamp. She does nc sinking and slithering. It's smiles and baby-eye and admiration that lure. Lily Damita with her flash ing-eyed coquetry, Garbo with hel terrific intensity, Helen Kane with

Attractions At Theatres
SMILING IRISH EYES"
 NOW SHOWING, PALACE

A characterization that is cer- tainly one of the most genuinely entertaining yet contributed to talk ing pictures is now added to Col leen Moore's many successful screen roles.
 For Colleen gives performance Of such effectiveness in her first all-talking and singing picture, Smiling Irish Eyes" a First Ma tional Vitaphone production, which opened at the Palace Theatre last night, that she undoubtedly will in- crease even the tremendous popu- larity she has gained through si- lent pictures.
 Colleen's Irish heritage adds a sparkle to her personality that has cften stimulated the admiration of theatre-goers, yet never has it been more delightfully."- presented than in this charming romance. Smiling Irish Eyes" provides her with op- portunities to entertain her audi ence in a variety of ways, and she takes full advantage of each. She sings-sae dances-slle makes you laugh and cry, and her portrayal is believable throughout.
 The story is essentially TO- nance between Miss Moore, in the character of vivacious Killarney colleen, and James Hall, who is seen as a visionary young Irish man, better fitted to compose lilt- ing melodies on his violin than to work in the peat bogs.

THE CREMATION KID"
 AT COLISEUM TUESDAY

Talking and sound effects featur- ing Douglas MacLean's latest star ring picture entitled The Carnation Kid" produced by the Paramount Christie Corporation, which will be presented at the Coliseum tomor- row.
 While there is not 100 per cent dialogue running throughout every scene yet in every sequence the ac- tion is featured by talking. h. stead of making the film an all- talking one, Christie officials wished to emphasize the opportunities af- forded by the story for typical movie action, and for the first time local audiences hear as well as see the customary four or five loca- tions as heretofore has been the case. "The Carnation Kid" fea- lures forty-three different sets and locations during the running of the film
 The picture is essentially one to provoke mirth, but MacLean's re- turn to the screen is marked by his appearance in a story that has melodramic background. Mis- taken identity is the theme of the story with MacLean's being mistak- en for a gangster and the some- times serious situations he find: himself in as a result of it. He is supported by such well known stare as Frances Lee, Lorraine Eddy William B. Davidson and Francis Mcdonald.

 Soae of the new vamps make you doubt that they're wicked lot one doubt Theda never left When she glided on the scene you were quite sure she would stop at noth- ing to gain her ends. She was a wicked. dyed-in-the-wool vampire.
 Maybe film cycle has elevated the wrecker of masculine souls. Or perhaps the change is evidence of new strategy on wonan's part.
 But rest assured the vamp is here-just as great peril to sun dry heroes.

HOLLYWOOD, March IT. = Re- cent acquisition of Fred Kohler by First National, and the type of story and role into which he has been placed immediately, may indi- cate that the studio is planning to build him up" as a candidate for the box-office honors in the good-bad he-man school now held almost exclusively by George Ban- croft.
 Kohler has played in support of Bancroft as a tough guy, never quite as tough as George himself, and has been seen as the heavy in numerous other pictures.

It may be recalled that. not so many years ago, Mary Miles Min ter was being exploited by one company as it's rival to the box office popularity of Mary Pickford, commanding figure in that world of stars, and more recently, Alice White has been boosted into com petition with the flapper appeal of Clara Bow, although Alice on more than one occasion has voiced her disapproval of the idea.
