 Japanese folk are not fond of telling how rich they are or how well they can do things. They speak of how poor they are. or how much they lack skill. or what wretched houses they live in. They believe in talking "modestly," but I am not sure that they always mean what they say!

"Trader Horn"
Columbia

Trader Horn" a graphic pic
ture of jungle life in darkest
Africa, is now showing at the
Columbia Theater.
Native tom-toms beating weird
chants, cannibal bands grating
in queer dance, wild beasts in
natural habitat, beautiful scenic
effects in the interior Of the
jungle all are unfolded with
sound. Seldom has a more
Spectacular photography been
secured, an education in itself.
An encounter between several
lions, all for the sake Of a meal
of one poor frightened faun;
wild excitement in a crocodile in
tested river as native plunges
to his death; great stampedes of
rhinoceri; all these are filmed
with such realism and wild
beauty as to leave one breathless.
Larry Carey and Edwina Booth
carry a love interest through the
adventures, just enough to con-
trast with the great primitive life
of the jungle. Duncan Renaldo
plays the part of the boy, Peru,
and Mutia Omoolu, a native, acts
as guide to the exploring party.

GRIDIRON FILM
TO HONOR
ROCKNE
By HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright, 1891. Premier
Svndicate Incl

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, May 4.
Universal makes a graceful ges-
ture and stands to cash in might
lily on a big football picture to be
called The Spirit of Notre
Dame
Carl Laemmle, jr., tells me he
will dedicate the film to Knute
Rockne, beloved coach of the
Fighting Irish" who fell to his
death in a disabled airplane.
All the available Rockne stars
are to appear in the picture, in
Guiding the famous -Four Horse
men," The picture will be made
partly in South Bend and partly
in Hollywood. 1t is not to be
confused with the series of short
subjects that Universal is filming
with the Irish squad.
Naturally, the leading parts
will be taken by professional
actors, all of whom are yet to
be chosen. Lew Ayres would be
a natural selection for the lead.
Production gets under way some
time in the summer.

Saloon Drama
Repeats at "Met''

Ten Nights in a Bar-room, ,"
the old-fashioned, dear little story
about the sick child who travels
the streets at night to bring her
drunken father home from the
saloon, is being held over for a
second week at Metropolitan.
The moral Of the tale is evi-
IDENTIFY not obvious enough, ac-
cording to the producer; there
fore, he has inserted a prologue
and an epilogue to make his
point clearer.
William Farnum, as the
drunken sot, does a good piece of
acting, as does Tom Santschi.
In the supplementary program,
the audience is taken on trip
through RhodeSia in the African
Bomba; a Vitaphone variety,
Sky High" is very entertaining,
and Graham McNamee, Universal

fight-in the ring and off. Ayres
hits like he really means it and
takes a handful of hard blows
himself to end the picture as a
dethroned champion.
Ayres as Fighter
Robert Armstrong does a very
convincing fight manager. It
takes Armstrong; smile to lift
the story out of its brutal
tragedy. Jean Harlow plays the
cheating wife of the champ.
In it we see Ayres as boy
fighter raised to a champion
after his wife deserted him be-
cause he lost one of his first
fights. Under the careful hand
ling of Armstrong he plunges to
the top but his wife completely
upsets his ring career.
The fight sequences are we'll
directed and there's one good
punch in the story that happens
out of the ring. It's really a
great surprise. It keeps you
from comdemning the wife SO
much. for she takes it on the
chin herself.-F. M. S.

amusing and somehow pathetic
little comedy of a millionaire,
forced into retirement by doctors

Ridges Is Star
Death Takes a Holiday" is es-
sentially a stars play. The char
acter of death, in material form
Prince Sirki, is fantastical con-
ception surrounded by an aura of
eerie mystery, coldly fascinating to
the women folks, a creature who
conjureS fear and dislike among
the men. Stanley Ridges blows
life into it's incredibilities, infuses
it's philosophical musings and SOM
ber speech with earnest sincerity
and gets some fun out of his brief
fling with earthly romance. It
was a rounded and letter perfect
performance of a difficult role by
an accomplished actor.

Lang Gets Break

Independent studios dub along
and then, ever so often, one of
them turns out an exceptionally
fine picture.
One of these is Hell Bound"
a gang picture starring Leo Car
rillo. The James Cruze Company
wakes up to find itself very much
in the spotlight as result of the
comments on this film.
Garlic promptly signed a long
term contract with Cruze and
flew to New York for the open
ing. Another who benefits is
Walter Lang, the director. Lang
is a veteran in the business, hay
ing worked of late years with Mrs.
Wallace Reid. He's been given
a Cruze contract. too, and will
start work on Women Go On
Forever" in which Mary Boland
appeared on the stage.

No Time Lost

Several days ago I printed that
Mary Brian's option was not be-
ing taken up by Paramount. My
prediction of a scramble of other
studios for her services already is
borne out.
Universal is negotiating to buy
up the rest of her contract. with
the idea of giving her the femi-
nine lead in Strictly Dishonor-
able" If they are successful, she
is practically set for the part.
The Preston Sturgess comedy
would have reached the screen
long ago but for protective clauses
which Brock Pemberton had put
into the sale contract to Uni
versal. Now that the road COM
panies of the play have skinned
the cream of the cities, the film
can be started. John BoleS will
have the Tullio Carminatti stage
role.

*Death Takes a Holiday"
By National Players

This week the National Players
dip into the realm of fantastic
comedy, presenting Albert Casella'S
imaginative drama, Death Takes
a Holiday"
Something of a gala atmosphere
enveloped the National Theater
last night, for the usual Monday
premiere had been moved up to
provide this special performance
for the Board of Trades Boost
Washington" movement. Accord
ingly. the seats were occupied by
an audience exceedingly cordial
and rewarded with an incredibly
smooth presentation of an un-
usual play.
Problem Ending
Walter Ferris made the adapta-
tion from the Italian playwright
and has fashioned a drama
which accentuateS the ironical
humor inspired by the weird
realities Of Death Suspending mis-
usual activities and spending a
three-day vacation at an English
manor. There is an undertone
of tragedy when the vagabond
of space falls in love with the
delicate Gracia and threatens to
carry her off with him to the
Great Beyond.
There are available two endings
for this provocative play. In the
one the lovely Gracia departs
with her grim suitor. In the
version which the National Play
ers are using-and which Phir:p
Merivale found the most salts
