SPLENDID COMEDY
REMAINS AT APOLLO.

The trials and joys, the bliss and
kisses of THE First Year." that
most trying adjustment period of
young love, constitute the dramatic
motivation of Janet Gaynor's and
Charles Farrells latest Fox picture,
now is its second week at the
Apollo.
THE First Year" presents a new
Janet. Petite and piquant as ever,
she has forsworn the pathetic for
the positive in her characterize
ton.
With new hair dress, with smart
modern frocks, she is said to bring
an entirely fresh and inspiring por-
trayal to the screen in this, her
first entirely grown-up role.
Farrell, too, is different. He is
seen as an ambitious young business
man, haraSSed, it is true, by the diff
ficulties of becoming established in
a strange town, but on the whole a
capable, energetic young fellow out
to prove that he can make his way
in the world.
among the supporting players OF
THE First Year" are Minna Com
bell, seen in a hilarious comedy
role, Leila Bennett, Dudley Digges,
Robert McWade, George Meeker,
Maude Eburne and Henry Kolker,
all Of whom portray important
parts suited to their capabilities.
William K. Howard directed THE
First Year." a screen adaptation of
Frank Craven's successful stage
farce by Lynn Starting.

them famous on the screen-al-
though they are not in the army
this time.
McLaglen portrays a detective
captain, and Lowe has the role OF
a police reporter.
Guilty as He'll" besides bringing
this acting team together on the
screen once more, is said to be dis
tinguished by the fact that it is
different from previous murder sto-
ries.
The audience sees the murder be-
ing committed in the opening scene,
knows who the criminal is, and
watches an innocent man become
entangled in a web of circumstan-
tial evidence that leads to his be-
ing sentenced to hang.
At the outset, the film shows
physician numbering his wife and
covering up all traces of his act.
He places in her hand a broken
watch-fob to incriminate another
man. McLaglen and Lowe, work
ing on the case, trace the fob to
Richard Arlen. He admits he had
been intimate with the slain wom-
an, and insists he is guiltless of the
murder. This, of course, the audi
ence knows him to be. The doctors
cunning tricks and well-planned
evidence causes Arlen to be con-
victed.
Meanwhile, Lowe has fallen in
love with Adrienne Ames-cast as
Arlen's Sister-and he decides to
help her free her brother. Bungling
along more or less blindly toward
this end, he gets himself and Nc
Laglen into many an amusing stu
alton before finally succeeding. A
surprise twist at the end leads to
the climax.
Short reels include Campus
Spirit" with Douglas Stanbury;
"Napoleon's Bust" and a Paramount
sound news reel.

my mouth and nose. When the air
comes out with the sound, it is in
much higher pitch than it ordinarily
would be. I studied the scientific
construction of a trumpet and it
proved a valuable aid to me-"
Herbert, 10, who initiates the sax
ophone, manages to produce a true
effect by use of his mobile lips,
which he manipulates according to
the tone he desires.
Donald, II, who sings the lead,
has learned all the tricks of his
senior brothers, and when it is nee
essary to modulate, he can carry on
with any of the limitations.
Their repertoire also includes
trombone, clarinet, baSSoon and
oboe. Their only instrument is a
$3.50 mail order guitar bought many
years ago. 1t is their mascot.

Millions of radio fans are, of

though all of these fans are fully
aware of the fact that there are

duce music they do. 1t is easier to
believe that a large orchestra is
playing.
In Roar of the Dragon" con-
trasting to the rollicking, light
hearted character he usually por-
trays, Dix is seen as a cynical, dis
illusioned skipper of the Chinese
river service, with little faith in
men and none at all in women.
His boat disabled by Chinese ban
dts, Dix and his varied group Of
passengers take refuge in a small
interior village, where they convert
former mandarin's palace into a
stockade.
Here, under fire from the ban
dts and threatened by the plague,
Dix meets and falls in love with a
beautiful Russian woman of mys-
terry. Her calm courage, her will
ingness to risk the meanest priva-
ton to remain with him, rejuve-
nate Dix and he changes from a
selfish sluggard to a daring leader
of the beleagured refugees.
Supporting Dix is Gwili Andre,
young Danish actress, who created
a sensation in Hollywood. The cast
also includes such well-known play
ers as Edward Everett Horton, zasu
Pitts, Airline Judge and Dudley
Diggs.
A Paramount sound news reel and
other short features will complete
this program.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Aug. 6. =
There are more marriage cere-
monies performed in a motion pic
ture studio than any place on earth.
Not only that, but the forms of
every creed and denomination are
represented. 1t doesn't matter if it
is the terse "do-you- this
woman" justice-of-the-peace type,
or the elaborate ceremonial of the
church, with bridesmaids. usnerS,
flowers, vestmentS, and all.
Any prop man can tell you off
hand the general procedure and
some of them can even recite the
service.
Most of these forms are we'll
known to movie goers who are used
to seeing them on the screen, but
the one most rarely seen and so
far conceded to be the most color
fulis the marriage ceremony of the
Greek Orthodox church, the official
religion of Russia under the car.
It was this form in which Douglas
Fairbanks Jr. and Nancy Carroll
took part in filming their Russian
revolution picture, "Son of Russia"
at the First National studios not
long ago.
There were no elaborate prepara-
tions-at least so far as the story
went. The marriage was a hasty
one, with two witnesses picked up
on the street and dragged into the
church without half knowing what
they were going to witness. But the
art and technical departments Of
the studio had worked on the de-
tails for weeks.
The set representing the interior
Of the church had an atmosphere
all its own with its burning candles,
smoking incense burners, ikonS and
holy pictures.
The priest, with flowing beard and
gold and silver veStments, presided
over a little satin covered altar on
which were placed the properties
necessary to the Greek Orthodox
marriage service.
The Ceremony
The bride and groom each held
a long, narrow lighted taper, which
was tied with pink ribbons and dec
grated with orange blossoms. Amidst
the smoke of candles and incense,
the priest intoned the service, in the
midst of which he hands the best
man and bridesmaid a jeweled crown
which they are to hold ever the
heads of the couple.
These crowns are fashioned in
much the same manner as the for
NAL crowns of a King and Queen,
made Of gold and studded with
jewels.
The groom does not place the ring
on the finger of the bride. Instead,
the priest picks out two wedding
rings from bowl on the altar and
places them himself on the fingers
OF both bride and groom.
The hands bearing the rings are
then joined and a scarf or handker-
chief thrown over them, as though
tying them together.
Then begins a procession around
and around the altar with the priest
leading the way, chanting his bene-
dictions, and leading the bride and
groom by their scarf-covered hands.
With their free hands they carry
their lighted tapers.
Following them come the best
man and bridesmaid, holding the
crowns over the heads of the young
couple until the service is ended.
This wedding ceremony in Son of
Russia" will always be a part of
First Nationals research files. Judg-
ing from the mass of detail worked
out for it, it should easily become
Hollywood's authoritative version of
such a rite.
