The assignment of the talented

In "The Devils Holiday" he

taught her to respect the simple
virtues. In "Her Man" he scored
his biggest success as a romantic

Re Amos n Andy

"How do you reach the conclu.
sion that Amos n Andy are slip
ping in popularity" writes Miss
Winifred Fleming from the An
napolis Hotel.
What ! said was that Amos N
Andy are not as popular on the
radio as they we're six months
ago. This is a natural result of
appearing nightly and it was
what Stanley Sharpe, Ziegfeld's
general manager, told me a year
ago. TITS a great act" he said,
'but If I owned or controlled it
I would never try to have my
stars appear every night in the
week. They are bound to wear
out in appeal" That prediction
appears on the way to fulfill
ment.
I think their first picture,
"Check and Double Check" will be
a sensational Success-if its a
good one-and will help restore in
terest in their nightly broadcast.
But every night in the week will
positively kill off Amos n Andy
as dead as theme song in the
movies.
AS for their stage and screen
popularity, Mcintyre and Heath
prospered as a team for so years
/ don't see why Correll and Cos
den shouldn't last for many, many
years to come, providing they can
always be as entertaining as they
are in 1890.

Holmes Is a Conner

Phillips Holmes strikes me as
the best juvenile bet in Holly,

can act. You can see him in

pop, Taylor Holmes, has taught
him a lot of good acting tricks.
