over Europe and America, created the
role of Dracula, and Is now In Holly

May Robson's Hope.

in HOLLYWOOD. the production OF
Mothers Millions" The prev1ew, as
they call a first showing of a picture
in Los Angeles, is said TO have proved
very definitely that Mr.. Gumb1n mace
one of the biggest mistakes OF the MIN
capital, for he had made, even the wise
ones admitted it, splendid human
interest story, a real COMEDY drama.
The mistake waS-"never be q success
with your first picture think
that way in Hollywood.
After the preview of Mothers Mil
lions" the big companies began quite
earnestly to bid for the right to present
Mothers Millions" Carl Laemmle
and his Universal Pictures Co. won the
competition.
WithSthe debut of May Robson in the
talkieS new future seems assured her,
and yet this future will be determined
to no small extent by the fate OF
Mothers Millions" in Washington.
However, Washington theater-goers
may remember Miss Robson OF old from
her appearance here on days long dead
at the National Theater, and to these
she looks for q welcome at the Rlalto
It seems that the success OF Mothers
Millions" is based in the fact that
James Flood, the director. had the good
sense to permit May Robson fun sway
in playing her part in the picture.
Miss Robson had used the story for
many years on the road. 1t Is said to
have been inspired by the once-tamous
Hetty Green, the wizardess of finance
in other days. And Miss Robson knew
her Hetty, and, much better than the
dyed -the-wool screen player, the
value Of her own art in making stu
alton or in creating a laugh. She
knew, too, how to time a speech or a
laugh and how to get the most out OF
a scene, rare art In Hollywood.
Mothers Millions" is expected to set
a new standard in talking pictures be-
cause 1t is a translation to the screen of
a play of the stage without the usual
matchmaking Of the average studio.
Mothers Millions" proves the sue
cess that Carl Laemn1le predicts for 1t.
Marie DRESSER is likely to meet with
new competition, for these two old
legitimate players are Of a period, and,
many believe, very similar in their
method.
