Lewis Stone an Actor.

EVILS STONE is considered one of
the screens great artists. He has
maintained steadily increasing fol-
lowing. After but few years, at most,
screen players generally have to make
way for the rising talent" of the high
ways and byways in meeting the demand
for new faces" 1t Is part of a screen
endeavor to get what the public
wants"
Each new picture, however, in which
Lewis Stone appears gives further EVIL
dence that he is an exceptional artist.
His old admirers are always seeing
something new to admire in him-and
there are always new ones to make his
list OF fans one of the longest Of any
screen star.
Lewis Stone was born in Worcester,
Mass, in 1879, and educated In New
York City. As far back as 1901 he be-
gan his stage career in a play called
'Sidetracked." in the old Third Avenue
Theater, New York.
He made his first picture under
Thomas H. Ince in 1915. It was
"Honor's Altar" in which he had the
leading role. His success was instan-
taneous. A few of his many well known
productions are "Cytheria,' 1.-THE Lost
World" THE Life of Helen of Troy"
"Scaramouche," 1.-THE Prisoner Of
Zenda," MANS Desire" "Nomads Of
the North" 1.-THE Trial of Mary Dugan, 4"
THE Big Mouse" Wonder Of Women"
and 1.-THE Office Wife"
He Is now to be seen in an important
role in My Past" at Warmers Earle.

Families of the Stage.

FAMILY pride In the exploits Of their
family ancestors, as exemplihed by
the mythical CavendiSh clan in THE
Royal Family of Broadway" Is by no
means confined to one famous stage
family. Research Is said to disclose that
there have been at least 100 "deas-and-
blood" families of eminence in the
American and English theaters since
the days when the first Cavendish is
represented by the play as strutting the
Thespian boards.
The appearance Of the first Caven-
dishes, back in the late 1600s and the
early 1700s. existed only in the minds
Of George S. Kaufman and Edna Fer
Der, co-authors Of the play upon which
the screen version, now at R-K-O
Keith'S, Is based but the Characters
tics Of the Cavend1shes-their generation
of ancestral accomplishments, their
loyalty to the stage and its traditions,
their pride in the family "tree"-could
well be applied to these actual families
whose forbearS trod the boards when
the United States were scattered col
onies and buffalo pastures.
Several Of these families resemble the
CaYendishes in one or two ways and
some in many ways, according to Para
mount research workers.
Among the better known of the 100
"royal families" are the Terrys, the
Sotherns, the Robertsons. the Quarter
maines, the Playfairs, the MoncktonS,
the Kembles, the Jeffersons, the Irvings,
the Forbes the Du Maui
riers, the DrewS, the Boucicaults, the
Booths, the Beerbohm- Trees and, of
course, the BarrymoreS.

Believes in 1.-THE Road"

THERE Is said to be no actress on
the stage today who 80 consistently
has regarded the whole Of the United
States as an integral part Of the theater
as has Ethel Barrymore. Unlike many
players who consider Broadway the be-
ginning and end of the American stage
with a few other cities as convenient
tryout stands or aftermaths, necessary
simply to appease their managers. Miss
Barrymore always has made extensive
tours in her successful plays. Since her
debut at the age Of 10 in her grand
mothers (Mrs. John Drew company,
she has been trouper in the finest
fullest and most glamorous meaning Of
that term.
Miss Barrymore, however, has not
been able to visit the South since she
acted there in Pinero's "Midchannel."
Always she has wanted to return, but
until now she has not had the oppor-
tunity to do so.
Miss Barrymore, furthermore, Is said
to feel that never before has the public
in the smaller cities been so DESTROYS
for the spoken drama as today and that

In fact, and taking all for all, these

How David Became an Actor

A MINIATURE theater, constructed
by David Manners when q child
ultimately led him to become noted
screen actor.
Manners was born in Halifax, Nova
Scotia, April 80, 1902. He completed his
early education in his native city. Then,
thinking thus to overcome his growing
interest in the theater, his parents sent
him to the University Of Toronto. But
his four years at the college only
strengthened the very purpose which his
parents had sought to defeat, for he
became leader Of the universitys
Little Theater movement.
After he had graduated with the de-
gree of bachelor of science in forestry,
he went to New York and almost imme-
diately secured a role in Dancing
Mothers" at the Maxine Elliott Thea
ter. Later he appeared with the Guild
Theater, but finally yielded to the wishes
Of his parents and entered business.
Happening to be in Hollywood in 1929,
however, he was cast for a prominent
role in Journeys End" and found him
self definitely committed to a motion
picture career. Since then he has
played important parts in "Kismet, "
Mothers Cry" The Right 70 Love"
and "Dracula" among other screen
plays.

RISE ASTAR
COMEDIAN

GEORGE ROsENER, one of the bril-
liant stars In Better Times"
scheduled for the Shubert-Belasco, Is
a comedian with a career nothing less
than mildly fantastic.
Rosener is we'll known, of course, for
famous vaudeville and character por-
trayals, including the hilarious zeke
Bramble in MY Maryland" But this
story is more Immediately concerned
with his adventures before he won q
spotlight Of his own.
When he was 19-and might have
known better, though he didn't-he
ran away from home in New York
on as an egg target for one of the
clowns, but he didn't find the role
agreeable, so he deserted the life of
the big tent in Savannah and sailed
from there as a cabin boy on
freighter bound for Hamburg.
Once in Europe, he joined another
circus, but this time his contact with
eggs was limited to cooking them He
wandered leisurely all over the CONT
nent with this troupe and then, craving
wilder adventure, he shipped on a
tramp schooner that casually crlIised
the seas Of the world. After a year it
finally reached San Francisco, and
when it moved on it was minus Rose
ner, who then began working his way
toward New York and the family circle
AL was forgiven upon his return
and his cousin, Martin Gilmour, took
him on with travelling Shakespearean
company. All might have gone well IL
RoSener hadn't persuaded his cousin
to produce an photographed melo-
drama he had written during his
travels. This was such a colossal flop
the author suddenly found himself
without an occupation. He then went
back to California and in Los Angeles
met and married Irene Long, an
actress. The two went into vaudeville
in one-act play of Roseners that
kept them busy for more than q year.
Returning again to New York, he
Joined a magician and sailed for South
America. Things didn't 60 we'll and
so in pushing back through Mexico, he
tarried long enough to lend his force
to revolutionist's army and then
Back again in New York, he Joined
an upstate stock company, but soon
afterWard took over restaurant in
Greenwich Village, called the Pig and
Whistle" He spent more time as a
playwright, however, and even collab-
GRATED on manuscripts with Edward
Knoblock, one of his customers.
The Pig and Whistle" soon passed
out Of his hands and he turned again
to vaudeville, but continued to write
for an unappreciative theater, when
the Shuberts discovered him and put
him to work in the first Artists and
Models" He wrote most of his own
sketches and they were so well liked
he was called on for the second edi-
ton. Later "Speakeasy," one of the
plays ne had written with Knoblock,
presented Broadway with "She Got
What She Wanted"

~ mans final travel talk of this
seasons series and will be shown this
afternoon at the National Theater.
With the aid of a new set of color
views and motion pictures and an up
to-date narrative, one may know Paris
and its life much better after having
heard and seen this travel talk. A Wis
itor to Paris should not form his I'M
pressionS from the life he observes In
the streets of the city. All Frenchmen
are not gay and one cannot really know
the women Of Paris after having seen
them in the cafes, the shops and on
the great boulevardS. Some of the
questions Mr.. Newman has attempted
to answer in this travel talk are: Does
the Montmartre, with its varied enter
tainment, portray the French idea OF
amusement What Is the real story of
the Latin Quarter?
Many versions have been presented
of the French capital in former travel
talks. but never one, 1t Is claimed,
which treated the subject as in this Sc
