Praise For Movie

Life Begins" the screen at
traction at the Hollywood
Theater, is one Of the finest
motion pictures have ever
seen. It comes very close, in
fact, to being the finest. Com
bining exceptional acting and
expert direction, it treats a deli
cate subject with uncanny
brilliancy. I recommend it to
you without reservation.
I didn't see Life Begins" as
a play. I didn't have much
chance to do so because I
missed the opening highland
it only ran a week after that
occasion. In other words, the
play was an out-and-out flop.
Yet they tell me that the pic
ture is an exact duplicate of the
play, with two or three scenes
omitted. The hackers of the
stage venture lost their money.
The Warner brothers will prob
ably make a million dollars
with the same piece of prop
erty. It's a strange game.
Speaking of the hackers of
'Life Begins" brings to mind an
interesting story. Joe Smalley,
the handsome actor-producer,
hit Broadway last spring after
having spent some time in
Hollywood. Under his arm was
the script of Life Begins" a
play in which he had the utmost
confidence. Other producers
had turned away from the play
because of it's maternity angle.
But Joe was determined to pro-
duce it.
He couldn't raise the neces-
Sary cash until he met Billy
Gaxton, co-star of "Of Thee
I Sing" and one of the grandest
guys on the American stage.
Gaxton listened to the piece
and Immediately wrote out a
check for Santley. The wheels
Of production began to turn.
Caxton Is Loser ass.
On it's opening night in New
York, the first nighters cheered
Life Begins" 1t drew good no
tices from the critics. The play
had all the earmarks of sue
cess, except for one thing. No
body came to see it. And that's
an earmark that can't be over
looked. So the show folded
after a week.
For a producer to participate
in the motion picture rights to
his play, he must keep the at
traction on Broadway at least
three weeks. The owners of
Life Begins" evidently thought
nothing of those rights, or they
would have gambled on keeping
it in town another two weeks.
So, a short time later, the
Warmers stepped in and bought
a remarkable script for the
small sum of $4,000.
They stand to make a for
tune on the picture. And Gax-
ton, who made the entire ven
ture. possible, has nothing but
= few Cancelled checks to show
for his interest. AS a matter of
fact, he was playing in "Of
Thee I Sing" at the time-and
he never even had the pleasure
of seeing his own show!

Inc chautteur Tor Mrs. Van

Eerworth, was breaking in

man, it seems, had gone on the
stage or opened a night club
or something-and Mrs. Van
astorbilt was really most dread
fully annoyed, if you please.
So the chauffeur was doing
his best with the new man
who had just been engaged.
IT know" said the chauffeur,
"that you have never done this
type Of work before, but it's
really very simple.
when Mrs. VanaS t orbit
wishes to step from the ma

\ The new footman nodded.
/ Within an hour, the car was
bowling down Fifth Avenue.
j Stopping before a store, Mrs.
/ Wanastorbilt walked from her
machine. When she came out
again, the new footman did
Jas he was directed. He tucked
the buffalo robe around her
and went back to his place
beside the chauffeur.

the new footman leaned over
to the naughty chauffeur.
"How did I do?" he whis-

She Gets Her Wish

To make a long story longer,
It was not in that file either.
She requested other papers
and got them. Finally, when
the librarians were beginning
to get thoroughly disgusted, she
gave a cry Of delight.
"Ah!" she shouted happily.
"Here it isl"
She spread the paper before
her. drew a pencil from her bag
and began to make some nota-
tions. For some forty minutes
she sat there as the Librarians
eyed her curiously. Suddenly
she arose, put on her gloves and
departed without a word Of
thanks.
The librarians walked over to
the paper that was still lying
there. They looked at it and al
most fell to the floor. The old
lady had merely filled in the
crossword puzzle for that day!
