HOLLYWOOD, April IS tNAN.A).-
The eld-timers are beginning to come
back into talking pictures.
Hobart BoSWorth and William Far

movies in the long ago does not remem-

Talmadge's new picture.
Hobart BoSworth was the George
Bancroft of the silent films. He it was
whose Sea Wolf" was one OF the most
realistic bits of pantomimic art the old
screen ever saw. He mushed along
Alaskan trails in some of the old Rex
Beach stories. He was q beachcomer
with a way when the South Sea thing
had its first vogue. He HINGED 1t in
uniforms. He wore the khaki and cam
paign hat of the old U. s. A, when the
Spanish-American war tales came in.
william Farnum has been six years
away from the screen. A combination
of illness and accident has kept him
pain-ridden time. He was to have come
back in "Hangman's House." and q re-
currence of illness prevented. But he
was once a star of the legitimate, and
his voice has excellent tinbre for the
mikes.
Adolphe Menjou joins the group Of

new his contract q year ago, when he
went to Europe. He Is to make French
and German versions on the Paramount
lot.
If this same group SO chooses, there's
Emil Jannings, formerly OF their fold,
who may be brought back for the same
purpose. Won Sternherg recently re-
turned to the local lots after the COM
pletion Of a talking picture, made with
Jannings in Europe. The cycle of up

Bill Powell and Ronald Colman are

Today, Viewing the Oaks" painted

first picture OF the exhibit TO be sold.
Behind that picture lies the story
of an ordinary hod carrier with fam

which his comrades had spoken to him
