miss Pinkertcn"


THE appearance of Miss Bette
Davis and Warren William at
Warmers Earle alleviates some of
the sorrow caused by the rest of the
vaudeville show-although these two
excellent Hollywood thespians are
not given chance to show what they
are really capable Of Sketches for
peregrlnating screen stars being diff
flcult to f1nd, these first-rate actors
have happened upon mystery"
bit which is short, not too brilliant,
but blessed with different" end
ing. They accomplish 1t as best
they can-and after the finale come
before the curtain and say that
they are glad to be here"-which
may or may not be true At any
rate, they are handsome, talented
couple, who know what "trouping'
ls-and who probably think as little
of their sketch as do most similarly
afflicted visiting screen heroes and
heroines.
The film attraction, Miss Pinker-
ton" is one of the better cinema
mysteries-due to Mary Roberts
Rinehart's glib pen, the amusing
ways of Miss Joan Blondell, and
the fact that. while George Brent
has been miscast, he rallies man
fully to the colors all the way
through. On account of the droil
mannerisms of these two. the sneer-
ing villainy supplied by John Wray,
the hands and feet let loose upon
the walls in shadow, and only a
minimum of screams and catcalls,
this may be viewed with real salts
faction and no end of speculation
before the final curtain has set.
Miss Blondell who day by day is
becoming more sure of herself as a
top-notch comedienne, and who in
time will very likely crash out with
something phenomenal Gin spite of
the droll angles of here face), keep
the story from becoming too heavy
handed-and makes even such things
as pills and romance seem amusing.
As a bored trained nurse in search
of excitement she finds herself un-
usually well taken care of-and
what happens to her in the house
where the murder took place is we'll
worth finding cut. E. de S. M.

Three Cinema Favorites
Presented at Loew'S Fox.

THE further inrush of Hollywood
L talent this week may be noted
along street, where at Loew's Fox
Theater are to be found mot one or
two stars" as the cheerful advertise
mentS will tell you, but three" This
trio of cinema celebrities Is a def
mite reminder OF the variety of per-
sons that are to be found West of
Malibu Beach. Mr.. George Sidney,
for instance, is quite the opposite
from Miss Una Merkel. and Miss
Anna May Wong is quite distinct
from Miss Merkel. With the result
that by the time you get Wesley Eddy
introducing them you have just
about made the rounds of the en-
tertainment world.
The stage show, called Hollywood
on Parade" which is no more or
less than it usually is Except that
it is less" chorus. presents these
Numerically opposite stars in brief
sketches which suit them very nicely.
Miss Merkel comes first in talk
interlude with Mr.. Eddy, which is
amusing because Miss Merkel is
amusing; then comes Miss Anna
May Wong singing several songs
which are alternately good and Tot
so good: and then comes Mr.. Sidney
in something to remind us that he
is one of the laugh kings Of the
screen. Added to these are the
rough-and-tum5le entics of Bill
Telack, and Gordon's Dogs-and
you have the lo~- but diversified
stage show
The screen fare Madame Rack
eteer," is an amusir farce about a
countess" who is in reality sea-
soned jailbird out on parole. AS
played by Miss Alison Skipworth,
this countess" who has spent 20
years in as manv jails, is an ex-
tremely comic character, and one
which should cause you no end of
merriment. The trials and tribu-
lations she has swindling her wsv
out in the open world cause much
trouble. and by the time she has
married off one OF her children and
saved the other one from marrying
one of her iailbird acquaintances a
good deal Of laughter has flowed
under the bridge.
Miss Skipworth gives an excellent
performance-as does Richard Ben
nett as her harrsssed husband. A
special feature Of the film is the
music box, which helps the count
ess" to make one of her famous es-
capes. This should be watched out
for. E. de S. M.

NEW LINK Barred
TO PRIMITIVE MAN
Palestine Skeletons Belong
to Higher Type That May
Bridge Gap.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

A flood of light is thrown on the
nearest known relatives of living man
by details received on recent discoveries
In Palestine, according to report just
made to the American Association OF
Physical Anthropoloeists here by Prof.
George Grant MacCurdy OF Yale Uni
versity.
This discovery, first reported two
months ago, was of seven skeletons
encased in rock They were OF the
general type of Neanderthal men, the
half human creatures who roamed over
much of Europe about $4,000 years ago
and left fragmentary remains from
which anthropologists have recon-
structed how they must have looked
and acted.
Held Higher Type.
Neanderthal man did not belong to
the present human species, but just
preceded it, and is believed by some to
have been its direct ancestor. others
consider this grotesque monster as
sort of first cousin who was eliminated
when homo sapienS began to overrun
the earth. European fines have been
fragmentary. but the measurements
reported by Mr.. MacCurdy show that
the newly found Palestine man was
probably of a higher type, considerably
closer to true man.
OF greatest Importance is the fact
the frontal and parietal portions OF MS
brain, so far as can be judged from
the skulls, we're more highly developed.
The first is closely associated with
human intelligence and the second
with acuteness Of sensory impressions.
Like his European contemporary. how
ever. this creature had musculature
more powerful than that OF living man,
great, protruding ridges over his eyes,
animal-like teeth and protruding up
per jaw somewhat approaching that OF
the great apes.
One of the skeletons was found clasp
ing to its breast the huge jaw OF wild
boar. The skeleton of one child was
found. All the skeletons were found
associated with industrial remains OF
the Mousterian period which in Europe
was Just at the END of the last great
ice age.
Wide Gap Unbridged.
The Palestine skeletons may consti-
tute an important link between the
more ape-like Neanderthal man and
the true man who replaced him in
Europe. 1t has been impossible to
bridge this gap with the European ma
terial leading many anthropologlstS 10
believe that true man was an invader
from the East, sweeping his crude pred
ecessors into extinction as he over
spread the continent. The possibility
now is opened up that he was derived
from this Palestine branch and made
his way westward from there.
Until few years ago the presence
of ancient man in Palestine was un-
suspected. Then a portion of skull
cap was discovered in a cave near the
Sea of Galilee, but there was not
enough on which to base any compari-
sons. The seven skeletons were found
by Theodore D. McCown of the Ameri-
can School Of Prehistoric Research.
