Vulgarity Touches

For the, life Of me 1 cannot un-
derstand why such a fine director
as John Ford, of the Fox forces,
permits a brazen bit of vulgarity
to taint an excellent picture like
Born Reckless" the current Ed
mund Lowe feature.
There are things which sneak
by the viii Hays code of ethics
and get a guilty laugh in the mo-
tion picture theaters, and some di-
rectors love to put them in, re-
ducing the comedy to Speak-easy
level. I think they disgust far
more people than they amuse.
Having registered this dissent,
let me say that Dudley Nichols,
erStwhile of the New York World,
has made an excellent job of re-
writing the Louis Beretti" novel
for the screen.
Ex-newSpaper men are doing
great work for the movies these
days, notably, Herman j. Man
clewicz, Oliver H. P. Garrett and
now Nichols, Of Park Row. Pathe
has recently signed Frank j.

Joe Frisco Is First
And to COluntnists

A Broadway columnist some.
times has a difficult time filling
his allotted space with interesting
incidents, witty happenings, wise
cracks and jokes, but when the
dancing comedian, Joe Frisco,
who is appearing in person at
Warmers Earle Theater, is in
town. the columnist'S life is made
easier.
Proof of the high regard of
writer's for the brand of humor
dispensed by Joe Frisco lies in
the fact that the comedian is
probably more widely quoted than
any other performer on the stage.
One of the Nations most
widely read columnistS, Walter
Winchell, often inserts in his
witty column of gossip and
Broadway happenings, humorous
StorieSs and jokes, which are told
by Frisco and credited to him.

FOREIGN MADE
FEATURES
BOOKED
BY ANDREW r. KELLEY

On Wednesday, June 4, the Am
bassador Theater on Eighteenth
Street will experiment with a novel
program,-an all German group
OF talking pictures.
According to American showmen
the best pictures made abroad
come from the German studios.
They provide the stiffest compe-
tltlon Hollywood confronts in
european markets. In order to
manufacture for the foreign screen
American producers have been
compelled to establish studios
abroad and employ the best native
talent for these features.
The pictures to be shown at the
Ambassador comprise features
made by Warner Brothers in their
Berlin studio. The main screen
attraction will be THE Royal
Box" an adaptation of the stage
play with Alexander MoiSsi who
toured America in 1928 as the
star and Camilla Horn, (who was
a Hollywood conner until her &C.
cent became a handicap as his
chief support. Two short playets,
my Wife" and THE Genuine
American" will complete the pro-
gram.
While it is not promised, the
belief is that should this expert
ment prove financially successful,
1t will be. repeated at regular inter-
walls, and this plan will be ex-
tended to other cities.

Beaton Guesses

How Welford Beaton, of the
Film Spectator, manages to sell
himself to Publisher Curtis as an
authority on motion picture
puzzles one Who has Just waded
through his latest blurb in the
iitney weekly. ..
1t was Welfor Beaton-whose
prejudice against the talking pic
ture is violent-who predicted
that the industry would abso-
lutely be washed up with the talk
ers by February l, 1880. Every
body knows by this time the
prophecy was nonsense.
Now Author Beaton asserts
solemnly he cannot recall one
person who was really famous
on the stage achieving cores
ponding degree If fame on the
screen. ...
Well, if his recaller was in
good working order. he might
think of AL Jolson George Arliss,
Maurice Chevalier, Ruth Chatter
ton, Will Rogers, the Four Marx
Brothers, Walter Huston. Marilyn
Miller, Marie DresSler and so
forth.
Also if he cares to check up
he will find that the five big
producing companies in Holly
wood are using more stage people
today in photoplayS than they
are actors and actresses whose
experience has been confined to
Hollywood.
Here's one bright Beaton
thought expressed in July 1929.
Nothing is more certain than
that the film industry will
have to get back to the manu-.
facture of silent pictures. The
heads of the industry know
this. Wall Street knows it. And
it finally will be Wall Street
that will give the word that will
mark the industry'S return to
sanity"

The name Of Ruth Chatterton

Loew'S Palace is presenting this

lady from the stage who is the
most sought-after actress in Hol-
lywood since the advent Of the
talking screen.
"A Lady Of Scandal" is none

charming play THE High Road"
The Washington times., 1930-05-26

screen and Colin Give, who played
Captain Stanhope on the stage,
enacts this character for cameras
and microphoneS.
The story concerns q group Of
British soldiers in q front line
sector and their mental and phys
ical reactions to horrible mo-
ments Of suspense, terror and
despair while they await the zero
hour and the order to attack.
In the play the action was
compressed into q dimly lighted
dug0ut and the interest COM
pounded by the graphic dialogue
of contrasting characters. The
play lacked dramatic movement
and action. although we are told
by those who profess q closeup
knowledge that 1t is 8 sensitive
picture Of how brave men-and
some craven-comported them
selves on the very threshold Of
death.
To one who found the play
tedious and repetitiouS to an ex-
cessive degree, the motion picture
accentuateS the fault. While the
camera does momentarily leave
the dugout and follow hte drama
to the tragic terrain Of No Mans
Land, for the most part the pic
tured scenes are Of a group Of
Soldiery talking at mess. muSing
over things back home. drinking,
trying to forget, cracking grim
jokes.
The conversation is often en-
gaging and interesting as 1t re-
veals character traits and moods,
and again hardly brilliant enough
to compensate for lack Of action.
With only an incidental reference
to romance, Journeys End" de-
parts completely from the &C
cepted Hollywood formula. 1t is
a talking motion picture with the
emphasis on talking"
Fine acting lifts it above the
level Of the average feature.
Colin Give makes a forceful Cap

ant Osborne and Anthony Bushell
