HOLLYWOOD TOPICS

HOLLYWOOD Cal, June 2t-The golden age of the director as 8 box office asset in pictureeS has faded considerably as once more the star rises to paramount im- portance.
 The director always will be a powerful factor within the industry, but his name on the billing to- day sinot the magnet that draws the paying patronage on a big scale.
 In other times there were at least two names-Cecil B. DeMille and David Wark Griffith-which captured wide popular fancy.
 DeMille's picturesque character, the legends built around him, his bizarre screen innovations and lav- ish style, made him "box office. Thus he could build stars, like Glo- ria Swanson, Thomas Meighan Bebe Daniels, Wallace Reid, Lea trice Joy, and their fame grew with his.
 DeMile still is powerful, but not the king he was.

"OLD MASTER"

"OLD MASTERY
 So, too, with Griffith. After The Birth of Nation" Griffith was the reigning power among directors. For years he held his throne, and people f1ocked to his pictures. He was the "old master. His last picture, Abraham Lin- coln," was acclaimed anew, but the name of Griffith is no longer a magic magnet of the box office. Clarence Brown broke into prom thence with "The Goose Women and rose steadily until he attained top notch position. But people go to see Garbo because she is Garbo, not because she is in a Clarence Brown production"
 "The Big Parade" put King vidor on the movie map, and The Gov cred Wagon" established James Cruze. They are no less potent di- rectors now, but they must have stars in their films to make them pay.
 To the discerning fan there are other directorial names, besides those, which mean something" in picture values.
 They include Frank Borzage, Tod Browning, Frank Capra, John Ford. Wesley Ruggles, Raoul Walsh, Mer- vvn IeRov F. H Griffith, Frank Lloyd, Fred Nibo

LEAGUE CALLS
 OFF GAM E FOR
 THIS EVE MING
'Moose-Elks Contest Post poned by League Head
 Until Tomorrow PM.

No baseball will be on tap to- night for the fans. This was an- nounced this morning by President Karl Theile of the City League.
 Tonight's game was cancelled ow- ing to it's conflict with the Ameri- can Legion smoker and the like lihood that the rain gods seemed to be in an unpropitious humor any way and were threatening to wash out the game.
 So instead of playing it tonight. the League management announced the Fourth of July game will count in its place. 7 It will be played at 2 pm. tomorrow, with the Elks and Moose principals.
 After the local game, the Elks and American Legion clubs will cross the Channel tomorrow after noon and tangle at Douglas for s100 in prize money. The Legion Sunday at 53o pm. will play the winner of the Moose-Elks combat of the Fourth for the $250 purse.

Miles Murphy, local fighter,
 will stake his middleweight
 crown tonight when he matches
 ckill and brawn with Freddie
 Mack, Seattle mauler, in six
 round bout that is the main
 event on the American Legion's
 Fourth July card.
 A feature on the bill is a three 6-minute round wrestling match between Gene Hulk and Pat Ter rell.
 Main Go Natural
 The fight between Murphy and Mack is natural" The former beat back here two months ago over the kayo route. He is con- fident he will repeat tonight. He is in perfect shape and probably Q faster fighter than ever before in his career.
 Mack has trained hard for the battle. He has planned it carefully and, knowing he has no chance to outbox Murphy, is stalking his chances on outstaying and out punching him. Others have tried the same game against Miles with no great amount of success. Maybe Freddy will have better luck; he believes he will, anyway.
 Weaver and Berkeley
 .Slugger" Weaver is going to trade punches again with Harry Berkeley. The last time he es- saved it, he came off second best Weaver is far the cleverer of the two, and can sock with anyone his weight. Harry, however, is several pounds heavier and packs nitro in both fists. Weaver can win If he coasts through on his skill. If he tries any more of the toe to toe he is apt to listen to the little birdies carol again.
 Billie James and Jack Howard 140-pounders, are billed as cur tain raisers in a four-round go.

The "One-eyed" car is a menace

enforce the law against this dang

And when you do find it out, you de-

trouble lies. When you discover you
nave only one headlamp, you should
get the other repaired right away.
The Safety Council suggests that it
might not even be a bad idea to
carry a spare" bulb with you.
Don't make other drivers bet their
lives on guessing whether your right
or left light is the one they see.
