another surprise to this happy
reunion, Imogen Taylor Walcott

manager of the Belasco, who
was also a member of that self,

also Harry Rapley's to welcome
old friends and wish them best
Of luck in new ventures.
Miss Hollis and Miss Taylor
both gazed upon Monsieur Ruben
from afar in the days of Madam
Sand" for he was a leading
man and their roles held little
claim to prominence. Still, they
both understudied the two major
feminine roles and there was
always just a chance that oppor'
tunity might come knocking at
their door and they might, for
just a single performance, play
opposite this charming actor.
However, despite the blizzards
through which they Travelled, the
cold, draughty theaters in which
they played, and the long, tire
some rides on trains hours late,
every member of the entire com,
pany remained in perfect health,
and they continued to gaze from

Bound" the Warner Bros. and
Vitaphone production coming to
Warner Bros. Metropolitan The

the stage play by Sutton Vane,
which set New York and London
agog several seasons ago. The
theme is so unusual and the
treatment so deft that the re-
suit is an idyll of such compelling
tenderness as to make it irresiS-
tible to all sorts and conditions
of people. It has to do with the
effort of two despairing youth
full lovers to leave this world for
another in which their love may
go on forever.
Douglas Fairbanks, ir., and

PIANO PLAYER
MIMIC HARD
TO FIND

If a motion picture director sub
stitutes mechanical piano fer
the musical performance Of a star
who is unable to play the instru
ment, that isn't news; but If, on
the other hand, he substitutes
pianists for a mechanical piano
that demands an explanation.
Such a reversal of the usual
order took place during the film
ing of Remote Control" in'which
William Haines is. to be seen in
the leading role now at Loew's
Palace Theater.
Hard to Initiate
It seems that Director Edward
Sedgwick required the recording
of player piano for a scene in a
music shop. The piano was to
record the song hit of the picture,
Just a Little Closer" but since
Joseph Meyer had only recently
composed the number, no '1layer
piano rolls were available. The
director then summoned pianist
to the studio to do the job for
the microphone.
After various trials the key.
ticker complained that he didn't
have hands or fingers enough for
the treble runs and octave
tremolos, so a second piano player
had to be called in. Between the
two they managed to simulate the
effect of a mechanical piano.
And so, as HaineS glibly put it,
"the reason you don't hear any
one playing like a player piano is
because no one can play a piano
like player piano plays it,"

YOUNG ACTOR
GETS GREAT
CHANCE

"Tolable David" lives again
upon the motion picture screen.
The Joseph Hergesheimer story,
which raised Richard Barthel
mess to the ranks Of the stars
10 years ago, has been re-made
as q talking picture by the CO.
lumbia Pictures Company, play
ing at RtK-O Keith's Theater.
Science has given the talking
picture to the world since the
picture was first made, and the
new version is all-talking. This
new medium of expression gives
new and wider scope to the
characterizations.
Given q Chance
The leading role In the talkie
version is played by Richard
Cromwell. q youth who was an
unknown before he started work
in the picture, as was Richard
Barthelmess before the silent
version. Production executives
of Columbia made tests of more
than 1S0 aspiring youngsters, all
of whom thought they could
play the part, and many Of whom
had many Of the necessary quail
fications. They had all but
despaired of finding the perfect
type" when young Cromwell ap-
peared at the studio gates and
requested test for the role.
Liked the Role
Cromwell, whose ambition was
to be an. artist with pencil and
brush rather than with grease
paint and camera, only asked for
the test because, of all the heroes
of fiction, "Tol'able David" most
appealed to him. He had read
the story many times, and had,
long before he dreamed Of play
ing the part, imagined himself
as David. Consequently. he had
more than just q good idea of
how the part should be played.
He was David himself as he
stood before the camera and
mike" even to the extent Of
quoting most of David's speeches.
It was his remarkable physical
fitness for the role. his intimate
knowledge of David's character
and his natural flair for acting
which earned for him the most
coveted juvenile assignment OF
the season.
Included in the cast with
Cromwell are such film luminar,
les as Noah Beery, Joan Peers,
Henry B. Walthall and Edmund
BreeSe. John Blystone directed.
