WOOD, Jan. l4.- E g h newcomers to films, who rank among best bets7 for movieland in 1881, sowed seeds of stardom in 1930.
 Three Of them, Marlene Dietrich, Helen Twelvetrees and Lew Ayres, already have harvested the official garland. Two others, Genevieve To- bin and Dorothy Jordan, are virtu- ally set for the coveted rank.
 The remaining three, Maureen O'Sullivan, Richard Cromwell and John Wayne, probably will get the dollar-studded crown some time be- fore 1881 ends.
 Six of the eight were introduced to movie audiences during 1930. The Misses lord an and Twelvetrees made their picture debuts in 1929 but important roles didn't come to them until this past year.
 Miss O'Sullivan, Ayers, Crom- well and Wayne were without pre- vious stage Of film experience until 1930.
 Miss Dietrich came from the Ger man stage and one picture Her first American film, Morocco" was so widely approved that her sec ond, "Dishonored," is virtually built around the character she portrays.
 Before Morocco" was seen she was called another Garbo,' and although she somewhat resembles Greta Garbo, Miss Dietrich is an entirely different type.
 Several unsuccessful pictures al- most kept Helen Twelvetrees, a stage recruit from reaching her goal.
 Her performance in Her Man, " however, gave her "top position Her first full-fledged starring pie ture will be This Marriage Busi- ness"
 The rise of young Ayers, whose initial starring venture is Fires of Youth" was meteoric. He gave up banjo playing tc try seriously to be an actor and nearly starved the first year.
 Then "All Quiet on the Western Front" made him. "The Iron Man will be his next.
 Miss Tobin, also from the stage, clicked in her first featured role in "The Lady Surrenders" and has a contract calling for stardom soon.
 Three leads opposite Ramon No- varro and romantic roles in Love in the Rough" and in Min and Bill" boomed Miss Jordan's rank. She was on the stage when the talkies brought her to Hollywood Miss O'Sullivan was leading a

"CRAND PARADE" B RIN CS TO LIFE OLD M|NSTRELSY
Catchy Songs and Good Jokes Mingle with Ab-
 sorbing Drama

Different in many respects from the cut-and-dried picture romance, The Grand Parade" Pathe dia- logue production featuring Helen Twelvetrees and Fred Scott showing for the last times tonight at the Coliseum, is story of blackface minstrelsy so popular 40 or more years ago It is distinctly new type of entertainment on the screen, for in addition to its vital, forceful drama, it presents a complete min strel show such as our grandpar- ents delighted to see when they were young.
 Music and Jokes
 Wonderful music, catchy songs, spicy jokes and the glittering pa- geantry of negro entertainment supplement an absorbing drama
 The two featured players, Helen Twelvetrees and Fred Scott, are players of ability. Miss Twelve trees is Broadway stage favorite, while MT. Scott is famous as con- cert singer. He is good looking and his fine tenor voice registers well.
 Strong Supporting Cast
 The supporting cast in c l u d s Richard Carle, famous musical com edy star. Marie Astaire, Russell Powell, Bud Jamieson, Jimmy Ad- ans, Lillian Leighton, Spec O'Don- nell, Sam Blum, Tom Malone and Jimmy Aubrey Every player in the cast is ideally cast, the result being exceptionally fine Character portrayalS.
 Edmund Goulding, famous novel, ist and playwright, wrote the story and was the producer of "The Grand Parade"
 The story deals with a minstrel singer who wins success, but through the influence of an evil woman, sinks to the dregs, drunken sot. He is salvaged by a boarding house slavey and she succeeds in making a man of him. There is tremend- ous drama in the development of the theme and the climax is one of unsurpassed interest.
 At the Coliseum tomorrow night the attraction will be Seven Faces" featuring Paul Nun.

POLICE WILL CURB
 USE OF FIRE ARMS
 BY MINOR CHILDREN

Too many near shootings from weapons in the hands of inexperi- erced youths today led to an order from the Police Department which has for it's purpose the limiting of fire arms to such minors as have written authority from their par ents, of police permission, to possess them.
 The immediate cause of the or der, Chief of Police G. A. Getchell said, was the shooting into the resi- dence of Ralph Beistline yesterday evening. A bullet from 22-caliber rifle broke window pane and oc- cupants of the room had narrow escape. it was said.
 Chief Getchell, after an investi- gation, said the shot was fired by a lad of 12 years, whose name he did not reveal. It was clearly an accident. He was convinced the youngster did not know the weapon was loaded
 In the future, he said. any fire arms found in the possession oi minors in the city limits without authority from either their parents or the police. will be taken over by the police and turned back to thei- p>rents. The Beistline incident he added, was but one Of several and it was to guard against repeti- ton and possible serious accidents that the action was taken.
