A Great Picture

Ruggles, who expressed his delight
by clasping the hands Of Maestro
Gibbons.
In due time "Cimarron" will
be officially reviewed on these
pages. Just a few after thoughts.
It seemed to me that Richard
Dix who has had no pictures of
outstanding merit in some
months has been rewarded
handsomely by being given this
central character of Yancy
Cravat of the Edna Ferber fic-
ton.
Much of the comment which
will eventually bracket "Cimar-

lures of the industry, is due to
the fact that the producers have
followed closely story which
has a dramatic and colorful his

Dix Has Tooth Ache

Mr.. Dix is a modest star and
one who recognizes an obligation
on such occasions as national
premieres. I mention this be-
cause I was informed by none
other than Miss Estelle Taylor
that Actor Dix went through the
opening day hand shaking, dining
and receptions while suffering
from all the distressing symptoms
which come from acute ulcera-
ton of molars. A toothache is
q toothache, and one which
swells the lips cannot be forgot
ten even when surrounded by
elegance and admiring throngs.
In the interest of truth it can
be set down that Richard Dix did
some of his best acting for the
opening night gathering. He ex-
pressed his pleasure and gratitude
for the turnout and hoped when
It was all over his audience
would remember him not as
Actor Dix but as Yancey CraVat.

THIS FIGHT IS
STAGED IN A
LOCOMOTIVE

A desperate hand-to-hand fight
inside the rocking cab of great
locomotive is one of the thrill
ing scenes in Warner Brothers
new romance of the railroads,
Other Mems Women" which is
to be found on the screen at
Warner Brothers Earle Theater.
This was a scene which tried
the energies of Grant WitherS
and Regis Toomey, the fighters,
and the ingenuity of the director
and technical crew to The last
degree. All of them worked un-
der unusual difficulties, but the
spectacular and convincing scene
was worth the effort.
During the filming Of the
scenes the locomotive had to be
under full steam and at good
speed without guiding hand
and both the players and the
crew were literally at the mercy
of the runaway engine. Nat
urally trainmen were held in re-

command if anything went wrong
or the train developed too much
speed or went too far along the

They Were All There

As I exited from the theater
about 11:45 p. m, it was a
pleasure to report informally to
Eddie Folliard, AL Stern, and
other patient members of the Ma.
tional Press Club, waiting for a
second, midnight pre-view that
"Cimarron" was worth losing an
hour or two of the precious
beauty sleep.
Probably it took some time to
round up the galaxy of stage
notableS introduced to the au-
dience before the screening. At
any rate it was we'll past 9
o'clock before Representative
James V. McClintic, of Okla
homa, strode from the wings and
announced the presence of Vice
President Curtis. Being duly vel
coined with the strains of the
national anthem, which meant a
rising salute for the honored
guest, the presiding officer then
made one of the real hits of the
evening by announcing he would
forego making a rather lengthy
prepared speech. He introduced

Little Caesar
Showing at Met

Little Caesar" the record-mak-
ing picture of underworld life ana
romance, has met with such un-
precedented reception from Wash
ington theatergoerS that the at
traction holds the distinction of
being the first cinema in this city
to ever complete a run at one
theater and Immediately reopen
at another. The picture, which
closed Friday night at the Earle,
is now on view at Warner Bros.
Metropolitan.
Capacity audiences greeted this
sensational gangster production
throughout its showing at the
Earle and Warner Bros. re-booked
the First National and Vitaphone
production for immediate showing
at the Metropolitan. This, how
ever, could not be done until per
mission was obtained from the
studios.
Little Caesar" made from the
best seller of w. r. Burnett, IS
said to be a screen transcription
of the life of a well-known Amer
ican racketeer. Douglas Fairbanks,
jr., appears as the pal who wishes
to break away from the mob.
while Glenda Farrell is the girl
that dooms the racketeer. Other
players include William Collier,

No need to go into detail on the

Spectacular Scene

A comparatively new face in
Hollywood - Irene Dunn - really
shares the stellar honors. She
plays Sabra Cravat from the
time that she took for better or
for worse, the impulsive and
poetic Yancey, of Wichita, up to
grandmother age when she comes
to Congress from the new State
of Oklahoma through her own
superior talents. The characteri-
zation is something over which
to marvel, particularly in It's
transition from youth through
middle age to autumn days.
For those who have yearning
to know what Miss Dunn has
done hitherto in the realm of
artistic achievement, the record
shows that she served a full sea-
son as the glamorous Magnolia

D. W. GRIFFITH
CLASSIC AT
RIALTO

1.-The Birth of a Nation" the
D. w. Griffith film classic, all
fixed up in a 1881 dress (synchro-
nized with sound and musical ef-
fects) opens at the Rialto Theater
today. This picture is the most
r arkable production ever
filmed. 1t was made 16 years
ago, and from the outset became
a sensation. 1t has played year
in and year out. 1t has been laid
away (but never forgotten), re,
vived and Immediately started on
q record breaking career. It is
figured by experts that it has
been seen by Fifty-five millions
of people and has crossed at least
twenty millions of dollars.
Problem Of Sounds
Now that it has been remade
with sound it has become an
astonishing sensation again.
David w. Griffith, the man who
produced and directed it, had
charge of the synchronization
work, and it was a most interest
ing job. 1t was found necessary
at times to use as many as five
sound tracks in order to get the
perfect results that Mr.. Griffith
insisted upon.
In fact the problem proved so
much greater than was orig
inally figured on, that new in
ventions had finally to be made
in order to overcome the diff
cultieS.
All Real Noises
It wasn't as simple as at first
expected.
All the sounds heard from
the screen are real sounds.
There is not one foot of taking
in the entire picture. The orig
inal film remains unchanged.
The original cast remainS-that
cast all the members of which
won undying fame through the
medium of this picture are still
there.
The technical task of injecting
sound into a film taken 16 years
ago was staggering problem.
When it was finally overcome by
improvision and invention Holly
wood found that it had learned
something new again in the
curious technical field.
Before Mr.. Griffith started the
work he held a reunion dinner
with his old cast. Everyone was
there but three who are now
dead. Those are Wally Reid,
Robert Harron and George Seige-
man. The others who attended
were Lillian Gish, Henry B. Wal
thai. Miriam Cooper, Ralph
Lewis, Walter Long, Mae Marsh
and others. Seventeen of the

tempt has been made to sweeten
the character of this rowing ad-

But-every SO often he would
wander off and leave his wife
and family while he went where
things were happening. You
find your own explanation for
this queer kink in his otherwise
upright makeup 1t gives the
picture a sad fade-out, but seems
logical enough. AS for Richard
Dix it is far and away the best
thing he has ever given to pic
lures.
