Not knowing their experience or their

tells what she found in Hollywood.
First, Fiji makes it clear that there
is no reason why any girl with talent,
ambition and determination should not
be received in Hollywood. for she found
that every one was anxious to help her
there.
Fla was educated at Asnieres, France.
In a convent. Her father, govern

Light Comedy Her Forte
ON THE SCREEN,

MO Coincidence on the American
4 stage, perhaps, has played wider
variety of roles than Madge Kennedy,
co-star with Otto Kruger in Arch Sell
wyn's production Of the Noel Coward
comedy, Private Lives"
For five years Miss Kennedy reigned
supreme in farce comedy. She was
hardly more than girl then, and she
had q girlish naivete and occurrences
that helped to carry her triumphantly
through such rich diversions as lover
Night" Little Miss Brown" Twin
Beds" and Fair and Warmer"-the
mere mention Of which should be
enough to start many present-day dad
dies and mamas laughing over again.
In recent years, however, Miss Ken
nedy has been climbing the peaks Of
smarter, sophisticated comedy. And it
was her finer accomplishments in this
direction that prompted Mr.. Selwyn to
choose her to succeed Gertrude Law
renee, who created the Amanda Prynne
role in Private Lives" and who shared
honors with Coward himself in the
original London production.
Harry Woodruff, matinee idol Of
pre-war days, discovered" Miss Ken
nedy. That happened during her art
student days in New York, when she did
some dabbling in amateur theatricals
Woodruff took her touring with him In
1.-The Genius" and she fairly charmed
the public with her winsomeness. In

New Arliss Roles?

GEORGE ARLISS, now to be seen at
~ Warner Bros. Metropolitan The
alter in Alexander Hamilton" has long
had an interest in two figures of his
tory as subjects for stage or screen
treatment.
These are Cagliostro. the spectacular
scientific charlatan of the eighteenth
century, and the old Marquis Of Queens
bury. known about London at the start
Of the nineteenth century as "Old c."
The latter was a noted sportsman and
patron of the arts.
II certain remarks concerning these
two personalities contained in q recent
letter from the English actor are to be
taken at face value, 1t would appear
that Mr.. Arliss Is working UP play out
lines during his vacation in England.
Whether or not he hopes to enact one
or both Of these characters in future
pictures under Warner Bros contract Is
not yet clear. He hasn't committed
himself, but the rest of the world may
be allowed its suspicious.

A Glimpse at Noel Coward

DRAMATIST, composer, poet, come
II dian, at 81 an outstanding figure
in the English-speaking theatrical
world-that sums up the meteoric
career of Noel Coward, who wrote the
international comedy success, Private
Lives"
Seventeen of the 81 years comprising
Coward's biography show him dis
playing his versatility In the theater.
He started his professional career at
the age of II, in children's fairy play
produced In London. Except for two
years devoted to study and literary
work and another year in the British
Army during the war, this gifted and
now famous young Englishman has
literally worshiped at the shrine of
Thespis. He lives for the theater and
nothing else. Even in London his
private life is a sealed book. He Is seen
on the stage and also in boxes-a tall,
young man who pays not the slightest
attention to the audience modest
celebrity.
It was after the war that he began
to write plays. His first, "I1l Leave It
to YOU" was produced in London; his
second, THE Young Idea" in New
York, and it was in this rather sopho-
moric comedy that Coward made his
American stage debut. Two years later,
in 1928, he burst to the front in the
dual role of librettist and composer with
London Calling" a revue, in which he
had the talented Ronald Jeans as COL
laborator.
The next year came "Charlot's
Revue" another Coward-Jeans work,
which incidentally started American
revue producers bidding for Coward's

1.-THE Vortex" and This Was q Man."
later on came to the New York stage;
also Bitter Sweet" a romantic oper-
cite described as "Milestones" sort of
play, with incidental music.
The first of the Coward plays to
score an unqualified hit both in Lon
don and in New York is Private Lives"

An Old-Timer.
WHO remembers the old Kalem pic

WHO remembers the old Kalem pic
w lures? The days of the two
reelers. The Carlyle Blackwell days?
If you do remember those days, then
you also recall George Melford, direc-
tor, who made Homicide Squad" now
at the Rialto Theater. It presents Leo
GARLIC, Mary Brian, Noah Berry and
Walter Percival in a powerful melo-
drama by Henry La CoSsitt.
Melford has directed more than 500
feature-length pictures. He did THE
Faith Healer" 1.-THE Sheik," THE Flame
Of the Yukon" "Salomy Jane" and
East Of Borneo"
After he had grabbed his early edu-
cation at McGill University for Z lean
years he was an actor, and away back
in 1911, when pictures were mere babes
in arms, he started directing for the
Kalem company. Alice Joyce was a
screen favof1te in those days.
For 20 years Melford has directed
pictureS-has helped them advance, has
made stars, then watched them fall by
the wayside. Still, he goes on and on,
making bigger and better screen pro-
auctions.

Postal officials have given 1t the careful "once over" have visited the former Boston Furniture Company's building at the corner of Scovill and Brook streets and have even cast an eye in the direction of the present telephone company.

A False Alarm Endangers Bremen Apparatus NegOtiates Dan- gerOus Going Only to
 Find Run Needless

Chief Henry H. Heitman of the local fire department has been answering bells and fighting fires for more than forty years and still gets ''kick"out of it. But there are times when alarms test his pa tience and when he would like to go gunning for certain people. Last evening at 8:39 o'clock the chief was at home enjoying a quiet little smoke and reading his favorite newspaper when the bell hit. Up lie within a few minutes was speeding toward Box 233, Hill and Platts streets. His car plouged through little brooks of water, skidded and swerved on ice-coated patches and bounced t'me and again on the humps of frozen snow and mud. At the same time about five companies of fire apparatus with thirty or m ore firemen hanging on were sireening their way in the same direction and facing the same imminent danger of accident. When the fire fighters reached box 233 they discovered that it was a false alarm. What a night it was to play prank on the fire department. It was in the midst of a heavy downpour of rain and travelling at it's best was no "joy riding" An unanimous vote of the smoke-eaters would have sent the person responsible to prison and hard labor-for life.
 At 5:29 o'clock yesterday after a fire in a garage near the inter- section of Congress avenue and Sey- mour street was responsible for an alarm. Two companies responded and the hiaze was extinguished with cut difficulty. A defective oil burn CT at the home of Daniel F. Ken nelly at 38 Cooke street was the cause of still alarm at 4:35 o'clock. No damage resulted.
