AT THE MOVIES
PARAMOUNT A

"She Couldn't Say No. a musical
screen drama that is a distinct nov
city, opened an engagement at the
Paramount Theatre today. It is a
Warner Bros. and Vitaphone produc-
ton featuring Winnie Lightner, one
of the most entertaining of the talk
ing screens condolences, and Ches-
ter Morris, that bright young man
who made an immediate hit with his
first movie appearance in "Alibi."
Although the story of "She Couldn't
Say No" is told in an atmosphere OF
night clubs, it is not just a song and
dance picture. There is comedy and
song but there is also a note of trag-
edy and some highly dramatic scenes.
The night club episodes are those
showing Winnie Lightner in her role
of Winnie Harper, first a hostess at a
cheap club, and later the toast Of the
town in the exclusive Kitty Kat.
Chester Morris is excellent in the
role of the young racketeer who re-
forms under the guidance and love Of
Winnie and then breaks her heart by
falling in love with a pretty society
flapper.' Sally Eilers, Tully Marshall
and Johnny Arthur are the other
principal members of the cast. They
all give fine performances.

CAPITOL THEATRE

Work in front OF a camera or be-
hind the footlights is not the most
difficult performed by comedians.
Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey,
featured comedians in BKO's produc-
ton of 1.-THE Cuckoos." at the Capitol
Theatre, r responsible for this
statement.
The success of funmakers depends
more on how we'll they work up their
gags and wisecracks. they say. 1t is
easy to walk out in front Of an audi
ence OF camera and "act funny" they
contend. The brain work beforehand
is what counts.
Wheeler and Woolsey go on the
theory that two heads r better than
one. Although they had known each
other for some time they never con-
sidered combining as a comedy team
until Ziegfeld brought them together
in his stage show ,"Rio Rita"
A producer usually permits come
dams to work out their own lines
Wheeler and Woolsey worked to-
gether so we'll that they decided to
stay together a a team.
Following their successful three
year run on Broadway, they wrote
their own act for a vaudeville tour
Their route took them to Los An
geles and they were signed by Radio
Pictures to duplicate their Rio Rita
roles on the screen.

she was secretary for ten years. She
has been n of the most widely
quoted penologists in the country
during her many years in the field.
For all that time she believed
firmly in prohibition and in the work
OF the w. c. T. U. and the Anti-Sa-
loon league. She has changed her
attitude now because she has come
to agree with those who believe that
prohibition has failed. She has
turned against prohibition because
she still wants temperance. She sees
evils under prohibition worse than
those of the days before the Eigh-
tenth amendment was enacted.
She says: I have decided that
prohibition has not worked and new
or can work. 1t would require a
veritable army Of men and billions
OF dollars to enforce it. Even then,
I believe, it would not be successful
without the cooperation of the vari-
Gus states, municipalities and the
citlzenry. Therefore I now believe
that the cause of temperance can
best be advanced by a change in the
prohibition laws, and I am heartily
in favor Of the point of view pro-
claimed by Dwight w. Morrow
Mr.. Morrow's plan, it will be re-
called, is to return liquor control to
the states by repeal Of the Eighteenth
amendment. This, DR.. Davis declares,
is the most honest and sensible pro-
gram yet put forward.
Mrs. Banning is an uncompromis-
ing believer in temperance, but has
now joined the Women's Organiza-
ton for Prohibition Reform because
of the shocking social and civic con-
ditionS that have developed in the
United States as a result Of prohibi-
tion.'
prohibition, as Mrs. Banning sees
it, is occupying altogether too prom
incnt a place in the lives of the peo-
pie. The attention paid to the liquor
issue is out of all proportion to its
Importance. People are concentrat-
ing on that to the neglect Of more
important matters.
Many persons have changed their
opinions in regard to the effective
AlCoo " WIG PlOAlAUACAOAA dAAlCAlNAAllCAlC
in bringing temperance. Many decry
the evils that have grown up under
the present system. Many candidates
are changing their views to conform
to what they think are those of their
constituents.
1T is apparent that prohibition
cannot succeed without popular sup
port, and even Prohibition Commits
sioner Doran complains that such
support is lacking and that public
opinion in wet areas prevents the
forcement of the dry laws.
Many people, including many
women, are seeking some way out
and apparently the most popular plan
is to repeal the Eighteenth amend
ment and return liquor control to
the states"

BY DEMING SEYMOUR
Associated Press Staff Writer)

New York.-(P)- American-made
movies are talking to the world in a
dozen languages and dialects.
The babel of tongues which de-
scended upon the motion picture in
dustry with the coming of the talkies
is being regimented.
At production centers in New York
and Hollywood pictures r being
turned OF with dialog which can be
understood in Stockholm, Tokyo or
Buenos Aires.
Maurice Chevalier and Claudette
Colbert made an English version of
The Big Pond at the Paramount
studios at Astoria, l.. I.
Then, in front of the same sets and
the same camera, they enacted the
play again in French, with their
American supporting cast replaced by
French players.
Wilma Banky and Edward G.. Rob-
inson made an American picture, "A
Lady, to Love-" at the Metro-G Gold
wyn-Mayer studios in Hollywood.
Then they rested and rehearsed for
a week and did the story again in
German.
Thus the transition from silence to
speech is being accomplished by the
American motion picture industry
without the loss of foreign markets.
When it became apparent that
American dialog made a picture thor
oughly unsuitable for foreign showing,
efforts were made to pick out the
most important parts of the dialog,
translate them into printed subtitles
and show these subtitles on the lower
| quarter of the screen.
This was unsatisfactory-the more
SO because words are spoken on the
| screen six times as rapidly as they
can be read.
Another system was to fit subtitles
into the picture in the foreign Ian
guage, but leave the American lialog
audible.
A third plan, having foreign actors
behind the e reproduce the dia-
log in their own language. following
as closely as possible the lip move
| ments of the characters on the screen,
was hooted by several German audi
| ences.
Most producers have decided that
the only way to make pictures for
the foreign market is to use actors
actually speak the language OF the
| country where the film is to be shown.
Thus actors like Miss Banky, Chew
| alier, Robinson. Dolores Del Rio. Lupe
| Velez, and others versed in two or
more tongues loom as the most val
liable screen stars.
Paramount began making short
pictures in foreign languages last
April.
Some were made in Swedish,
French. Czecho-S lovakian, and three
| Spanish dialects-CaStillian the
court language Of SPAIN, Mexican
and Argentinian. Even Esperanto
was employed in n picture.
Despite this activity foreign Ian
| guage productions VII still utterly in
| adequate to meet demands.
From the actors standpoint, If he
has a reasonably good speaking &C
| quaintance with three or four Ian
| guages. it is not difficult to make
versions of a picture in each Ian
| guage, Robinson says.
