HOLLYWOOD'S
HEART IS
FILMED

Screen. enthusiasts who have
wondered what the inside Of a
Hollywood studio looks like ana
how directors act when stars fail
to do the right thing, will be
able to satisfy their curiosity
when Metro Goldwyn-Mayer pre-
sents it's all-star talking comedy,
Free and Easy" at Loew's Pal
ace now.
For this picture takes the
movie-goer inside the studio
gates and permits him to see
and hear such players as Buster
Keaton, Anita Page, Trixie Fri
ganza. Robert Montgomery, viii
liam Haines, Dorothy Sebastian.
Karl Dane, John MILAN, Gwen
Lee, william Collier. sr., Edgar
Dearing, Marion Shilling, and
Lottice Howell, while directors
who play themselves" include
Lionel Barrymore, Fred Niblo,
David Burton and Cecil B. Dc
Mile.
Unusual aspects in relation to
this cast are the facts that it will
introduce Keaton'S talking and
singing voice to the screen for
the first time, and it will be the
first appearance of Cecil B. De
Mile before a camera and micro
phone.
Opportunity for the appearance
Of this miscellany of stars, play
ers and directors was made, pos
sible by the plot Of the comedy
which depicts the trials and trib-
ulationS of a Kansas beauty
prize winner who, together with
her mother and her would-be
manager, attempts to storm the
portals of Hollywood's film in
dtlStry.

WEDDING
DOMINATING THE SCREEN IN LATEST EXHIBITS FROM HOLLYWOOD b

In the presence Of several hun.
dred srnartly gowned women and
fashionably costumed men, amid
all the pomp and ceremony Of
the Church Of England ana .
wealth Of rare floral settings, the
wedding (for Fox Movietone pUr.
poseS) Of Miss Catherine Dale
owen and Warner Baxter was
Solemnized by the Rev. Neal
Dodd, HoIlywood's famous rector.
Never, perhaps, ir the history
Of motion pictures, has q wedding
ceremony been staged with the
attention to detail that marked
this beautiful and colorful affair,
which is seen and heard in Such
Men Are Dangerous" now at the
Fox Theater.
The church setting. alone, was
a masterpiece. Another laurel
wreath in the crown OF the Fox
Films technical department. The
vested choir, which precedes the
bridal party to the altar, is the
actual choir of the Rev. Neal
Dodd's church-St. Mary-of-the-
Angels.
Then on the arm of Claude
Allister-her sisters husband
comes the radiant bride-elect,
Catherine Dale owen. Never in
all the countless motion picture
weddings has one been permitted
to hold a more beautiful bride
to-be.
The bridal veil, which is at
tached to a cap-like headpiece Of
Alencon lace, graduated into a
long court train held by two tiny
boys in Eton suits. Real seed
pearls are effectively used in out
lining the floral designs in the
lace, both on the gown and the
cap. Orange blossoms, without
which no wedding would be COM
plete, find q resting place in the
cap. either side, at the ears.

adorned with lilies-of-the-valley.
Her only ornament is a string Of
pearls, the gift of the bride

sun-tan hose complete the gor-
geouS costume.

COMPANIES
THRIVE

Along about this time of year
the value of a stock company in
the big and, small cities outside
New York-and that includes Chi
cago-beginS to assert itself With
a reversal of those benefits one
usually envies New York for in
the winter. That is to say, that
cities like Washington, home of
the National Players, endureS a
more consistent fare commeu-
Surate with the differing qualities
Of stock and Broadway produc-
tionS.
There are now in New YoSk-or
were a week ago-46 plays, one
third Of which are either in the
try-out stage or plays ekeing ont
q bare SuStenance. The touring
attractions are practically all
through and those patrons ia
miliar with the dying weeks Of
touring attractions, generally,
are not grieving.
Vacation beckonings, offers
from competing producers and
general ennui are responsible
for many changes in New York
plays. That this is so among
the less outstanding plays is not
important, for the mill-run Of
good, but not great, actors is
steady and productive. The big
ger attractions with name"
stars have also suffered, but of
course producers Of the bigger
ventures are never guilty of mis-
representing that "so-and-So" is
still in the cast.
Montreal this last week saw
Bitter Sweet" without Evelyn
Laye in the part which the harsh.
er critics said saved the produc-
tion. Gertrude Lawrence is short
ly to leave the cast of the new
international Revue" and Lew
Leslie desperately casts about for
a suitable successor. Lily Damita
Is leaving the cast of "SonS o.
Guns" though the show will run
on indefinitely. A new Shuttle
Along Of 1880" opened in Brook
lyn last Monday with Miller and
Lyles, though the original Lyles
IS now in Africa. The Scandals"
closing here tonight, is quite some
distance from the original, so far
as personnel is concerned.
The conclusion is that, from
May to September, jaded minds
can be better Soothed by high
grade repertoire than by summer
survivors Of the long, hard win
ter season.

RIALTO HOLDS
OVER BOLES
FEATURE

John Boles in Captain of the
Guard" holds over for a few
more days at the Rialto Theater.
This hold-over was in response
to a general public demand man
ifest in the great number of
telephone calls and the continued
heavy patronage at the Ninth
Street house.
The Rialto has so many Eig
pictures on the way that it was
not intended to keep Captain
of the Guard" more than one
week. However, this decision was
changed the last minute and the
picture will run until Thurs
day, May /, when Paul White
man in King of Jazz" moves in.
The Whiteman picture is by
far the most expensive one Uni
versal ever turned out. It is
100 per cent technicolor and has
Whiteman and his entire band
featured throughout. In addi.
ton are numerous international
stars as well as many well
known stars of the singing screen.
King of Jazz" was directed
by John Murray Anderson, who
gave his flair for the spectacular
full rein. In it are at least
a dozen popular song hits, it is
said, in addition to the dramati-
Zation of George GerShWin'S
famous Rhapsody in Blue"
The show opens with a col
ored animated cartoon.

New Map of Europe
Uses 46 Languages

Washington.-The National Geo
graphic society has just issued new
map OF Europe in forty-six languages.
The forty-six languages were required
to give the precise official spellings
of the place names in countries where
the places exist.
In the years following the armis-
tice one of the notable changes In Eu-
rope has been the development and
intensifcation Of natural feeling with
respect to geographical place names.
Warsaw is Warszawa to the Poles
prewar Reval has been replaced BY
Talllnn in Estonia; ST. Petersburg was
transformed into Petrograd. but now
is Leningrad. So with hundreds of the
names which, like the places they rep
resent, have endured for centuries.
The traveller soon finds that Brus-
sells, In Belgium, is Bruxelles; that
Copenhagen Is Kobenhavn; that vien-
ma is Vein. and Constantinople is L..
tanbul.

CENSUS TO PUT US
IN GOLDFISH BOWL
Questions Will Leave No
Secrets Unrevealed.

Neutrality-suspicious. many women In
America are working? How many
families own radio sets? What per.
centage Of household heads own their
own honest At what age are most
persons married for the first time7
These are some Of the questions
that will be answered for the country
az a whole for the first time after
completion Of the 1880 census. In
terrogations aimed to obtain the re-
plies were included In list of new
questions to be asked by enumerators
next April. as announced by William M.
Steuart, director Of the census bureau.
Forms Basis Of Advertising.
Most important OF the new ques-
lions, in the opinion of Mr.. Steuart,
Is that relating to home owning. The
enumerators will find out from the
head Of each family the value of his
home II owned, or the monthly rental
II rented. thus making possible a clas-
sification of families according to buy
ing power and furnishing a basis for
selling and advertising campaigns.
The question on radio sets. accord.
ing to Mr.. Steuart, will tell radio sta.
ton operators and advertisers just
how large the potential radio audi
ence Is.
Women doing Homework in their
own homes will be designated in the
1880 census reports as "home max
ers." This designation will be entered
in the family relationship column rath-
er than In the occupation column, In
order that women who follow a pro.
fession or other gainful occupation, in
addition to being home makers, may
properly be classified in respect to
both lines Of activity. This will re-
veal for the first time exactly how
many women are working and to what
extent.
For Two Purposes.
The question asking for the age at
first marriage Is intended to serve
two purposes. First, it will give def
mite information as to the relative age
at marriage Of persons in different
racial and economic groups; second, 1t
will make possible tabulation on the
number Of children In families of wom-
en- who have been married stated
number of years
"In the classification of gainful
workers according to occupation and
industry 1t is proposed to put much
greater stress than heretofore on the
returns for industry" Mr.. Steuart
said. "a special schedule for unem-
ployment will contain number Of
questions designed to separate those
not working into several classes. In
GLIDING. besides those absolutely un-
employed. those who have Jobs for the
time being and those laid off without
pay"
