The New Juvenile

In New York Owen Davis, jr, played
in the original company Of Night
Hostess" at the Maxine Elliott Theater.
He also had parts in Garry On"
Cradle Snatchers" and Babes in the
Woods" He was with Bob LaughllnS S
Ohio Theater in Cleveland and has
played stock in Rochester and 81.
Louis.
A featured player in the movies.
Young Davis has two great roles to his
credit one with Will Rogers in They
Had to See Paris and the other IN
"AH Quiet On the Western Front. =
The boy is the protege OF the great
director, Frank Borzage.
In "All Quiet On the western
Front" Davis did notable work IN the
role of Peter, the young boy who
struggles yaliantly against death. His
conDanions in arms in the photoplay
were Slim Summerville, John Wray
and Louis Wolheim.
On both the stage and screen young
Davis has been fortunate in being un-
der capable direction. He was directed
by Reuben Mamoulin, the Theater
Guild director, in solid South" Law
ton Campbell's satirical comedy, IN
which Davis again s.ayed the part OF
a young boy. rEaCurally those roles are
fitted to b.In, since, as one critic says,
he Is lust a mere STRIPPING, a nKeable
lad. with a diSarming smile.
In the movies, again, young DAVIS
played with Edmund Lowe in Good
Intentions" and while on the West
Coast was guest artist with the Long
Beach Players, appearing in The
Ninth Guest" with Alan Dinehart and
William Courtleigh.
Educated at Yale. young Davis sings
'''Boolah Boolah" with the best of them.
His heart now, however. Is in the the
ater, and he hopes from his engage
ment with the National Theater Play
ers to progress toward eventual star
dom in the theater.
The movies, of course, will call him
again. Indeed, he already has an as
signment for the Fall, but in the
meantime the girls of Washington will
see q real movie hero when Owen Davis,
jr.. steps forth on the stage Of the Ma

u~ RAND HOTEL" has a
~ five-in-one star system
~ Next Tuesday evening
postponed now week.
in New York, the world at large
"a world premiere) will have a
chance to see what happens when
five of the screens most glamor-
Gus players merge into single
cinematic unit. AS suggested by
Donald Henderson Clarke, this is
"an expensive experiment"
It is no secret that such actors
as Carlo, Barrymore, Beery, Craw-
ford, etc, do not work for love.
Added further to the list of i'm
posing talent which has been
assembled to shake life into Miss
Wiki Baum'S hotel are such troup-
ers as Lewis Stone, Jean HerSholt,
Purnell Pratt, Ferdinand Gott-
Schalk, Tully Marshall and Frank
Conroy. They, too, do not work
for love. BY adding their salaries
to the giant treasures emptied at
the feet of La Greta, John and
Lionel Barrymore, Wallace Beery
and Miss Joan Crawford, the gold
that has been spilled out of Hol-
lywood Golfers for the benefit of
the actor is something heretofore
unheard of.
Imagine the confusion back in
the hey-day of the snentS if
Wallie Reid had appeared with
Mary Pickford, Ruth Roland and
Francis x. BuShman all in a sin
gle film. Or again, if Lillian Gish,
Nazimova and Mary Miles Minter
had decided to foot it, together.
People would have said, why,
producer so-and-so has gone
crazy!" And in those days he
would have had to be crazy to
even think of such a thing. For
it would have been more than
possible for Miss Minter to stamp
her foot at being relegated to
second place after Miss GiSh, and
Nazimova might not have enjoyed
doing her fiery theatricalismS sur
rounded by jealous eyes. The
entire company, too, might very
well have been hedged in by a
haze of temperament threatening
to dampen the entire proceedings.
The trend of modernism, which
is on the side of bigger and better
mergers in everything, has, how
ever, threatened to take the starch
out of temperament, and to fit
the player where he or she be-
longs. With the result that the
cinema is going up in leaps and
bounds. This is true, whether you
believe it or not. While scripts
are often Stodgy and perform
anceS often limp, there is every
indication that the films are 100
per cent better (as far as the
casual observer and the public
are concerned) than ever before.

this. 1t wasn't thrown together

in the theater at this particular
time, when Mr.. GerShwin, led
doubtless by the Inspiration of the
saxophone, has taken over the
field of music and is now sharing
it with the current crooner, to
whom all kinds of love-if, indeed,
there be so many-Seem like a dire
and blighting species of agony,
between rhythmic raptureS; and
poetry, save that of the columniSt,
is almost barred from the public
prints, as a rule, and frowned
down upon in polite conversation,
while the genius of woman is ex-
pended rather upon the pros and
cons of politics and the theaterS
of men have become slaughter
houses of the drama. Times do
change. There is no doubt of that,
but the particular grievance now
seems to be that, with the fermen-
tation of uncertainty which marks
all things mortal, the tastes of
the people change with them, for
few will doubt that more spare
time is expended upon lipsticks
and cosmetics than upon the
beauty that once was the glory of
the ancients, the soul of the arts.
ALL this being true-if 1t be

speaking, our own Helen Hayes will
divert us with the doingS of "the

has been most circumSpect since
her departure from our midst to
seek a career upon the stage. 1t
is equally true that she has Gre
ated a career to excite pride In
the hearts of all who would claim
her as "our own" Her play Sug-
gestS the redeeming memory of
the fairies, and we must not fail
to remember what the gifted
Maude Adams, when she was only
Peter Pan, said about fairies. It
may be a long way around to ar
rive at conclusion, but doesn't it
seem, for the moment, at least.

that mere man is putting forth an

down there have nominated their

for an election with Home Rule
as their slogan. But even if they
succeed, even if they have all
things their own way, will every

New Soviet Film "Soil
Is Thirsty" Opens
Today At Cameo

An old Russian legend, dating
back to the tenth century, forms
part of the plot of the latest sound
film from Russia, Soil Is Thirsty,
which opens today at the Cameo
Theatre. The picture was made on
the edge of the Kara-kuma desert,
where the slight rain fall is aug
mented by deep walls which tap the
underground sources of water, and
supply a primitive system of irriga-
ton. The plot turns on the obstacles
which the engineers encounter who
come to this near desert to provide
a modern system of getting water for
the thirsty land.
One of these obstacles is the old
legend. The people of the district be-
lieve that in olden times the coun-
try was fertile, because it was wa
tered by great river. But the war
rior Tamerlane attempted to sub
due Khiva, and when he failed, Or
dered his soldiers to build series
of distractions which caused the
river to sink into the sand That the
river actually did sink underground
is a geological fact, as the engineers,
both in the picture. and in real life,
were able to prove.
This story. which is based on facts,
was hailed in Russia as showing
THE healthful, merry life," and does
possess the quality of enthusiasm to
an unusual degree. The young en-
gineers, singing and working with a
will, are admirable heroes. How they
conquer the forces of ignorance and
superstition and the forces of ma
ture makes one of the most inter
esting pictures to come out of Rus
sia.

Tammany Cops Try to
Break Up Bronx Rally
by a Worker Correspondent

NEW YORK, May 3.-A fine ex-

by 500 workers at Washington Ave.
and Claremont Parkway today.
A dozen cops attempted to break
up an open air meeting of the Com
munist Party, and only the mill
fancy of the workers prevented its
breakup.
The cops arrested Comrades Price
and Gonschak but Comrade Lands
continued speaking, pointing out to
the workers that the police tried to
terrorize the workers despite the fact
that we had a permit for that loca-
ton.
We we're told that we could only
speak at Park Ave. and 172nd ST.,
a deserted alley bordering railroad
yard. We moved to Washington Ave.
and 172nd st. The police raised their
clubs again and tried to terrorize the
the workers into going to Park Ave.

PAVE WAY FOR

With deliberate stalling and Great
ing friction between the fleet owners
and the individual owners the board
is paving the way for monopoly
by General Motors. The attempt to-
limit the number of cabs to $4,000
will throw 10000 drivers and hum
dreds of mechanics and garage men
out into the streets to starve.

Professional Scabs
Witnesses Against
Organizer Schneider

The hearing on the Jack Schneider
deportation case came up in Ellis
Island Wednesday. The role of the
Kaufman scab agency in this SAGE
came out clearly when the Sklar
Brothers, two professional scabs who
nav etestified against Jack Schneider
in a previous frameup, came out as
the chief witnesses.
The provocative role of the COM
pany union was clearly brought out
in their testimony in which they
charge that Jack Schneider is a Com
munist, that he has terrorized the
furriers, and that he demonstrated
with the Communists on May First.
They asked for postponement of
the hearing till Friday so as to bring
additional witnesses.
This open strikebreaking role of
the agent provocateurs of the Kauf-
man company union must be an
swered b ythe furriers by rallying in
masses to the defense of Schneider,
which means the defense of their
class struggle union, their right to
organize and fight for union condi-
tons.
