CEREMONIES, 1t appears, must have
q master or a mistress to intro
duce the principals, and so the Fox
management Is introducing new mas

debonair type, with well trained bar

phone and can conduct an orchestra as
well as the next. More, he Is to come

who doubles on guitar and the drums,
and Johnnie Ferrara, baSso. who also
doubles on the guitar, reed instruments
and violins.
Les Stevens has seen service In big
way In the largest theaters by making
short subjects in the movies and over
the radio. He has played in musical
comedy, In night clubs and has made
phonograph records. Manager Crull Of

L in cinema theater
watching his screen self.
What does picture star think
about when he is in the process
of criticizing his own perform
ance?
Alfred Lunt, "the Guardsman, /"
and more recently Rudolf Maxi
MILAN Won Hapsburg at the Ma
tional, says: you find yourself
treating yourself absolutely i'm
personally. The figures up there
on the screen might be anybody.
They certainly aren't YOU. At
least, you don't think they are.
You sit back and watch and fig
ure them out just as you would
anybody else. When they're funny
you laugh. When they're sad YOU
cry. But as for thinking of them
as your own flesh and blood-it's
absurd. Your reaction to your
self isn't yourself at ALL"
Mr.. .Lunt and his lovely wife,
Lynn Fontanne, co-starS in this
weeks film at the Columbia, have
seen the picture many times.
What do you think Of The
GuardSman' as a film?"
Better than the play-no-yes

very much. Every one was so
nice to us out in Hollywood. We
saw none Of that-well, whatever
it Is that Hollywood Is famous for.
We had our own little house 10
miles from the studio. We got
up In the morning at quarter of
6, were at the studio at z
and often worked It'll late at night.
We finished the picture at mid
night on a Saturday just seven
weeks after we had started it."
"You didn't have one of those
beach palaces at Malibu?"
Whom did you see most Of out
there?"
Roland Young, one of our best
friends, anyway, and ZaZu Pitts,
a charming lady-both of them,
you know, in the picture. It was
great fun working with them.
Apart from that, though, every
one was fine. Norma Shearer.

Contrasts Pictured.

CONTRASTS in temperament and
style are always a necessity in any
fine screen production. In Morals for
Women" now at the Rialto Theater,
these elements are said to be decidedly
striking.
Four distinct studies in women are
one of the pictures audience virtues
Bessie Love, Lima Basquette. June Clyde
and Natalie Moorhead. They run the
platinum blonde brunette register COM
pletely.
Calm, unrufaed, stately, dignihed, Is
Natalie Moorhead, one of the ladies Of
the evening"" She Is almost an albino
type.
Violet eyes. golden hair, petulant,
spoiled, Is June Clyde, who enacts. a
"clinging- vine" lady, quickly responsive
and emotionally alive to life around her.
Brown hair, alert, vivacious, good
humored, is Bessie Love, the chief lady
in the cast-an excellent model for
the average American girl"
Olive skin, coal-black hair, flashing
brown eyes, is Lima Basquette, q type
apart from the others.
1t is these four women who bring to
the picture a peculiar kind OF drama
in feminine contrasts.

ed It's long white robe
~ about its ancient form and
moved with stately tread
from our midst to give way to
the Cave Man, taSSeled and per-
fumed though he was, and
trained in the trick of language,
but, nevertheless, with his Scant
clothing and his knotted club in
the misty background. And there
was a Joyous audience, large and
apparently in tune with the high
er civilization to welcome him.
We are cosmopolitan people.
We are even critical of the morals
of others and of their manners.
But we do confess a leaning toward
the naughty, and how naughty it
is rather difficult to say. We do
prefer our waywardneSS garniShed
with the responsibility of Ian
guage, but only language. AS for
the remainder-well, it remains to
be determined
The theater is host in its time
to all kinds and classes of men,
including the feminine of the
species. It has room for their Joys
and their SORROWS, their trials and
their tergiverSationS. Where else
may be reflected the doingS of the
day, the chronicles of the times?
It is the mirror which, held up to
nature, reflects what a strange
incomprehensibility there may be
in what we call life, human life.
1t pictures our greed and paints
us as smilingly we lie to fool our
neighbor. If what it shows may
shock, surely the theater is not
to blame. It is but the reflex of
our better, or our worSer selves,
as the Avonian bard might re-
mark. We are civilized according
to our own formula; religious
yes, with qualifications. We are
shocked at our erring neighbor
and with a self forgetfulneSs more
than remarkable. Hypocrisy is an
ugly term. 1t was never meant
for us. Only for others. And this
grand old world whirls through
space day after day with its sun
shine and its clouds, its beauties
OF day-dawn and sunset, its
radiant coloring of tree and bush,
the lofty grandeur of its noun
tainS, the rustic beauty of its fer
tile valleys, its strong brave men,
its faithful loving mothers, its
innocent little children. Our
hearts are moved by it all, our
minds are amazed at the wonders

His Heaven; ais right with the

the present writing.
These are the things that drew Jolson
back to the stage. He finds Hollywood
too impersonal as steady residence,
too intent on trying to get somewhere,
to be much of playground for one Of
our most enthusiastic playboys. I'M
promptu happenings fascinate him,
while he finds that grinding cameras
become terrible bores.
The Western custom Of starting out
bright and early to begin shooting O
picture was AIS chief anathena.

One of the live issues with the halibut fishermen of Canada, j',dging from unofficial reports, is the two cents duty paid on f2libut by Canadian fishermen for American import. The ques- tion seems to have aroused only mild interest among the Ameri- can halibut men and buyers and others in Ketchikan, but the subject, according to the Pacific Fisherman, including the pro- posed closing of the port of Prince Rupert against American fehermen, is still under serious consideration in Canada.

He went to Port Hebron on the steamer Admiral Evans recently to make preparations for re- sumption of operations.
 There have been small in- creases in prices of all products of the industry, he said. While they have not been large, they were enough to justify resump- tion of operations which were suspended during the past sea- son.

FADING FISHERIES OF DENMARK

The total value of the fish ex- ported by Denmark during the first six months of 1851 was $2,- 719,000 as compared with $3,661,- 900 during the same period Of 1880, according to information furnished the department Of commerce. The fish were export cd principally to Germany and England.
 The stock of fish in Danish waters is decreasing on account of intensive fishing and efforts are being made to replenish the stock. In the meantime Danish fishermen are endeavoring to ex- tend fishing operations in the North sea along the coast of Ice land, Greenland and the Farce islands.
 A company for financing fish ing operations on the Greenland fishing banks has been formed. 1t is planned to station a large ship on the banks which will take the catch of cod and hali- but of some fifty fishing boats, ranging in size from A to 35 tons apiece. On the Farce islands the cold storage plant of the Isvirki company is supported by a loan of $106,600 from the Dan- ish state.
