 NEW YORK
wM Gilbert Swan

New York.-The Santa Claus who visits Park and Fifth avenues, Manhattan, has gone in for antiques.
 It may be all very well for your child to play with an old fashioned top and a mechanical train and a football, but the lads and lassies of New York's rich and swanky set are going to have museum pieces"
 In upper Fifth avenue there is toy shop of that particular Santa Claus who drives around in Rolls Royce rather than a reindeer pow cred sleigh. And in this shop they are showing at the moment quite the last word in stylish toys. And stylish toys, dear children. must have history.
 The toy experts to the modern Fauntleroys have been rummaging through the old and quaint shops of Europe and have gathered to- gether a considerable number of period" toys. They are, if you please, "collector's items" When the child Is as old as his banker and-broker father, the toy-if still intact-will have a great "collec- tor" value.
 For instance, there are several toy sets from "old Nuremberg i,

 Actress in Hollywood

companied only by her two Great Danes. And "treacherous'' maid has revealed three other facts-the little girl known as Lil is @ vege- tarian, she must have fresh roses in her bedroom every morning and she bathes in goats milk. We are inclined to doubt that last state- ment, but how are you going to disprove it?
 off hand, it looks like a tough year for the boys and girl around town who write pieces about the stars for their bread and butter. Having speeches. Garbo in our midst has been bad enough. So far Dagover hasn't been much trouble. The main reason everyone wants to talk with her is because she doesn't t want to talk. But if she attains sufficient screen prominence to make editors demand interviews with her too, well-there's always fishing on that island of Bora Bora which the late F. W. Murnau dis covered in ''Tabu."
 A few other facts already learn ed about Dagover that that she re- fuses to work on Mondays. her limited vocabulary of quite broken English has all been learned since her arrival in this country less than three months ago and she has an enormous German maid who chases away all visitors without even hesitating to find out who they are. And she even fainted on the set one day during heated argu- ment with her director, Michael Curtiz.
 One might wonder how this new actress who is making her first pie ture could be so uppity and get away with it. The answer to that is that before signing her contract with Warner Brothers she was a popular star in Germany and didn't particularly care about coming to America. Concessions always are
 made in persuading people to do something they don't want to-or say they don't want to.

Vaudeville and First Run Pictures Saturday and
 Sunday

Warner Brothers Strand theater begins its new policy to-day of pre- senting, for the month of Decem- Der, deluxe seven act stage shows and first run feature pictures every Saturday and Sunday only.
 This new arrangement will ap- peal to local theatergoers who are fond of vaudeville as Saturday and Sunday are the ideal days for the- ater going. Saturday, after a busy day of shopping, Sunday, after the monday meal. Evening prices do not go into effect until 3:3O p. m. on both days so that 1t becomes profitable for patrons to attend the matinees.
 ; Headlining the brilliant seven act stage show to-day Is Emmett Lynn and Company, presenting Five Grand" 8 tuneful skit in which Helen Doyle and Ralph Dunn are featured.
 Foster and Van in Dark Rhythm" have a new act that is ch0ck full of laughs, songs and some clever stepping.
 Joe Wong, the Chinese Ukulele Ike and Hazel, the Oriental Ann Pennington prove that our cousins from the celestial kingdom can mimic our own stage stars to per- lection.
 Al Raymond and Frank Caverly explode 8 mirthquake of laughter in their rioutously funny sketch "As Weiner Und Schnitzep'. AS the title suggests the dialect is German and the way these boys tickle ones funnybone is nobody's business but their own.
 Beehee and Rubyatte Go, present six modern gladiators in Hall! The Romans. This presentation de- picts the athletics of the Romans in days long faded in the pages of history. This act is now. novel and highly entertaining.
 The Mason Trio offers a pleasing musical novelty and wing with them for equal honors Is the oak land Four, one of the finest quar. tets in vaudeville to-day.
 The feature picture is "Com- promised, a new hit hot from Broadway, featuring Ben Lyon, Rose Hobart and Claude Gilling- water.
 Remember, this show is at the Strand two days only, Saturday and Sunday.

probability, remember for many a day.
 James Whale, as usual, has done a supreme job with direction, and the gentlemen who adapted the story, John Balderston, Garret Fort, and Francis Edwards Fara- goh are emphatically entitled to their share of the laurels.
 Who who despise the hackneyed and stereotyped--you who appreci- ate talent and art in your motion pictures-and you who can stand being thrilled very nearly out of your theater chairs, will swear by "Frankenstein." It's the finest pie ture of its kind that screendom has ever produced.
 An excellent surrounding pro- gram has been specially selected to accompany this unusual feature presentation, which incidentally, is at 2:20, 4:45, 7:00 and 9:30 daily.

FIND CAVE JEWELLERS 14O
 YEARS OLD

London.-Dr Irwin Baird and Miss Jill Crossley Bait are back in England from an expedition to the Himalayas with news of a race of cave dwellers who live to be 140 and over.
 We set out to discover a lost tribe of cave dwellers living at a height of 22,000 feet and existing on fruit and vegetables" they ex- plain. We claim that the tribe we did discover-600 men, women, and children, all of splendid physique are the last of the Chaldeans mentioned in the Bible.
 we believe they traveled from their original home in Mesopota- mia to their present home. They speak their original language Chaldean-and live to great age. The race is free from all disease"

Thrill Picture
 Comes to State
''Frankenstein" a Shivery Shudder of Eerie Bril-.
 IianCe

Arch man-made flends, life-
 breathing electrical machines
 dangling bodies, human skeletons ghouls, and wicked hunchbacks all
 have their sinister places in uni
 versity's shivery, eerie and ghostly
 daddy of all the thrill-films,
 "Frankenstein," now playing ct the
 Warner State theater.
 The weak-nerved patrons have been warned to stay home.
 Universal, with its customary pioneering inclinations, has taken
 the most daring story in all liter ature the 18th-century Mary Shelley tale of man who created a monster-has added the ingre- dients of a superb cast, truly mar velous photography, fascinating sets, and a heaping portion of some of the best direction since Grifnth, and has duly presented the screen with its greatest hlm-fantasy.
 Lest we forget, Universal has long since proved its overwhelm- fng superiority in making thrillers. ''The Hunchback of Notre Dame" "The Phantom of the Opera" "The Man Who Laughs" "Dracula" and other greats have all come to us under the Carl Laemmle banner. and 1t is not astonishing that tow ering "Frankenstein" should bear the tag "A Universal Picture"
 There are many scenes in the film that will both literally and figuratively prompt you to clutch at your neighbours closest arm as the screen very nearly devours you, but there is one in particular that the most blaze will never be able to resist. The excited young Dr Frankenstein, played brilliantly by Colin Give, and his devilish complete the last surgcial oper. They dash to their shrieking elec- trical inventions and test the life giving ray then :! But 1t is entirely too precious to give away! Of course you will see "Franken- stein," and anyone who takes the least bit of thrill away from it for you should most certainly be rele- gated to the basement.
 Mae Clarke, the talented little actress who is taking the worlds film fans by storm; John Boles of the golden voice, charming man. ner, and excellent acting ability; looking Edward Van Sloan, and chattering Frederick Kerr and Dwight Frye, have many but the screen has never seen any thing quite like Give and Karloff in their characterizations.

she halls from Boston. For some time Sally Cox tried to crash into radio as a pianist. But 1t seems that Sally. while guarding over a childlren's vacation camp, enter tained the youngsters with baby stories. To make her stories more realistic she would cry like baby, and became more than passingly proficient.
 Now there are a number of acts on radio in which a baby appears and never had they been able to get someone who could initiate a crying baby. Better Dixon of the Raising Junior" act, has spent two years experimenting. He had tried out nearly hundred persons and a score of mechanical devices. He heard of Sally and signed her immediately. Now shes practicing up on baby talk for other pro- grams.

Hollywood.-Move over, Garbo- Move over, Garbo-Lil Dagover wants . place on that mysterious perch.
 And so begins the battle for "mysterious and exotic" supremacy between the established Swedish actress and the newly imported German actress. So far the German, Miss Dagover, has gotten off to @ flying start in her pursuit of the honors which have been Garbo's alone for several years now.
 Garbo refuses to see any news- paper or magazine writers. Dag over acts Q little more subtly-she just can't be found when scriven- CTS are around. Garbo never is seen at parties, premieres or other so- cial functions. Neither is Dagover. But Garbo still holds the lead in one respect. No one has been able to learn what she does when she isn't working.
 Curious Hollywood has discov- cred a few things about Dagover. She walks around the lawn and garden of her home in her bare feet. She takes night horseback rides along the sands at Malibu. ac-
