Popular Villain.

TWENTY years of villainy haven't
altered Ralph Ince. The player
who first became famous on the screen
as the Abraham Lincoln Of several
early Vitagraph pictures, and who a
short time after turned his talents to
film villainy, has the chief menace role
in Guilty as He'll" a comedy murder
story now playing at Loew's Palace
Theater.
Today, after lifetime of unpleasant
characterizations before the camera, he
remains one of the best-liked players
in Hollywood.
Ince went on the stage as a boy,
joining Richard Mansfield and later
appearing in "The College Widow"
After several years before the foot
lights he joined Vitagraph, played the
role Of Abraham Lincoln in a series of
successes Of the day and then returned
to directing
Among recent pictures in which he
has acted are The Star Witness, 4"
States Attorney" THE Mouthpiece''
and The Lost Squadron"

Chevalier Wins Highest
Praise in New Picture
Love Me Tonight" Is Triumph for French Actor
Who Is Cast in the Greatest Role of His
Brilliant Career
By Mollie Merrick.

American Opera Co. at Rochester
N. Y. He builds, in this awaken
| ing of a city, a symphony OF sound
that is destined to rouse the enthuSi-
| asm Of all who hear it. It is compar-
able only to things done by the sound
regisseur6 in foreign-made pictures.
But, in addition to this, it has the
camera perfection which only Holly
wood can bring. It has the smooth
ness of a Hollywood cast, the impec-
cable beauty of its women and the
delightful comedy of Charles Butter
worth and Charley Ruggles.
No matter how original the Euro
pean-made production may be-no
matter how brilliantly its effects are
carried QUIT invariably lacks some
patine Of technical perfec,-ol which
this city of the cinema alone brings to
its finished product.
Every player from Myrna Loy-in
one of the finest charaCterizations she
has yet brought to the screen-Aubrey
Smith as the aristocratic head of the
hopelessly dull and vitiated old French
family-to Charles Ruggles as the
charming and od-for-nothing scion OF
that household and the three maiden
aunts admirably done by Elizabeth Pat
terson, Blanche Fredici and Ethel
Griffs-are perfectly in the picture.
The comedy of Charles Butterworth
the suitor who had rank but not
wits the best he has done since he
left the New York stage. Butterworth
must have the correct vehicle to be
a smash hit--and this time he has
found it. The lines suit his type OF
comedy. The situations fit him like
glove and the same may be said for
Charles Ruggles.
Myrna 10y becomes beauty in the
fancy dress costume and her acting
is splendid throughout. She is a
startling exemplar of that chic which
screen women understand in perfec-
ton: her unbelievable slenderness and
beautiful grooming Jeannette Mac
Donald sings those lyrics of Rogers and
Hart as if she had been doing it all
her life.
The whole has a Gilbert and Sullivan
charm-a gay nonchalance and beauty
which we sadly need on the screen
these days. The musical hunt-with
Beagles-a stag rhythmed perfectly to
the obbligato of the orchestra-horses
and humans all perfectly in the picture
is the highlight- of the technical
angle of the picture And the tricks
of camera and sound transcend any
others you have yet seen.
Reuben Mamoulian takes first rank
with Ernst Lubitsch and Lewis Mile
stone in his direction of this picture,
which, regardless of its amazing cast,
becomes a directors product first, last
and always. And, in case you think
I've gone differing gaga over it. wait
and see-especially if you're Cheva-
Ier fan-the French actor has never
made a better picture.

= HOLLYWOOD, Calf, August 13.-
whenever ace directors are
mentioned in Hollywood,
Il 4 Reuben Mamoulian's name
creeps into the foreground OF
the conversation. For some months
now it has been ranking with Ernst
Iubitsch and Lewis Milestone-and II
you know pictures at all you know what
that means in picture production.
These two are the supreme authors IN
gelatin of the motion picture colony
And Reuben Mamoulian now makes the
duo a triumvirate with his recent Maui
rice Chevalier picture, Love Me To-
night"
i've seen the film in its crude stages.
Without doubt it will be cut and recut,
revised and altered to suit the severe
demands of this conductor, director,
and, in this case, part author. Rouben
Mamoulian possibly saw million flaws
in a picture which appeared to me 70
be sheer enchantment and perfect
release. A jammed theater Thought
the same thing-it resounded with
laundering applause for good min
utes at the finish of picture destined
to make you forget that depression"
is a significant part of the 1882 picture
and that the world is down-in-the-
mouth for very good reason.
When first I talked with Reuben
Namoulian about the Chevalier venture,
he told me his ideas about making this
picture. 1t is briefly, the story OF a
tailor who falls in love with princess
and wins her. Such things happen
chiefly in fairy tales-as Reuben
Mamoulian well knows. So his chief
intent was to capitalize on the charm
of Maurice Chevalier and the talents
oF Toapnffa MPnnYald nnd
yet to keep the story well within the
fictional bounds which must, Of neces-
sity. be the outpoStS of such concept.
The net result of Mamoulian's effort Is
sheer enchantment in gelatin form.
No vehicle made by Chevalier in his
Hollywood career so utterly reveals his
many talents-none so utterly suits
him In none of his previous efforts
has he attempted anything beyond the
role of entertainer which made him
famous Bat in Love Me Tonight" we
see a Chevalier turned actor-and doing
the Job amazingly well. We see love
scene hung between laughter and tears.
And nothing an actor can be asked
to Go is more difficult than this. Chev-
alier and Jeanette Macdonald carry
it through to a perfect and triumphant
conclusion.
A love song, blown on the winds
Of chance, drifts quite naturally from
tailor's shop in an humble quarter Of
Paris to tie chateau Of a lady Of noble
birth The technique used in the
progress Of the song is smooth and
amazing.
In the opening scenes Of the pic
ture-PariS awakening to the dawn
Reuben Mamoulian shows his fine mu-
sical training He was brought from

 The defense efforts to introduce evidence of the activities of Foshay bearing on proposals to establish a chain of country newspapers m Minnesota was defeated by the prosecution on the grounds that this was immaterial. The cham was never established although Foshay obtained options on many papers and outlined a plan of max ing purchases by stock sales.

 "Mannerisms and limitations Mrs. Fiske has; but her combined talents of intellectual judgment ir selecting plays, her imaginative skill in stage management, and her nervous intensity and spiritual in- sight in acting, make her, though she be a woman, the leader of the American stage today"
