Women of Screen.
WOMEN hold the governing hand

WOMEN hold the governing hand In
the production of motion pictures
today, according to Reuben Mamoulian
director Of Maurice Chevalier in Love
Me Tonight" for Paramount.
THE feminine role in this field Is
threefold-creation, inspiration and ap-
probation" says Mamoulian. "As Gre
ators Of art, women play a greater part
on the stage and screen even than in
writing and painting. Recall the great
players Of the stage such as Eleanor
men come later On the screen today
woman stars far outnumber the out
standing man players. Inspirationally.
women find themselves the heroines of
novels and plays more often than men,
1t has been so from the classics until
today. And in art one has only to
mention Mona Lisa and Venus de
Milo
However, 1t is in the appreciation of
motion pictures that women are most
important. 1t is no secret that women
select the family's entertainment. They
likewise establish stars by their critical
Judgment. With this true, women can
control the product turned out by Hol-
lywood. Production of films Is for one
reason only-to supply the demand
With no demand, the supply Of certain
types OF pictures will cease.
Women, therefore can be rewarded
If they logically ask for what they wish.
If they, as an audience, are critical, give
expression to their feelings and are
actively and constructively interested,
the industry will heed. BY viewing films
reputed to be no good and showing by
deductions or suggestions what they dis.
like or like in these pictures instead of
staying away from them, women will
ultimately be responsible for better
screen entertainment"

Movies and Radio Set
Pace for the Theaters

By Arthur Ruhl.

film average has, almost unquestionably,
been more impressive than the theater
has lately found it possible to achieve.
The recent films that I have chiefly
admired have been, almost in the order
given, Million Dollar Legs" Freaks"
Love Me Deep" Horse Feathers" "The
First Year" and Devil and the Deep"
Above all should there be enthusiasm,
it seems to me, for Million Dollar
and quite offhand insanity, but also be-
cause it provides the first real screen
opportunity for one of the greatest OF
modern comedians, the entirely incom-
parable w. c. Fields. Mr.. Fields hasn't
nearly enough to do in the comedy, but
it does offer him his first chance to
create full-length cinema portrait. In
addition, 1t possesses beautifully
casual quality, which made me think
that its wildness must have been acci-
dental until its producers convinced me
of my mistake.
"EREAKs." in which the gloomy Tod
= Browning, the high priest Of NOR
bidity in the cinema, cuts loose, Is, I
am sure, definitely fine screen drama
chiefly because, taking the most repul-
sive Of subjects, 1t succeeds in creating
pity as we'll as terror. This is the report
of a reviewer who finds sideshows
something less than enchanting. Yet
Mr.. Browning took the denizens Of
sideshow and not only succeeded in
creating grand horror tale, but, as his
main achievement, managed to make
the poor victims of cosnic carelessness
seem touching and sympathetic and
human. When the freaks suddenly find
that the physically normal woman who
has pretended to love them Is In reality
revolted by their appearance, you have
a scene Of genuine pathos which ex-
tends the boundaries Of your sympathy.
Love Me Tonight" is the newest
Chevalier musical film, so ably directed
by Rouben Mamoulian, late of the The
ater Guild, that it succeeds in making
the screen musical photoplay definite
dramatic form, and a charming one,
too. Horse Feathers" is the least of
the Marx Brothers pictures, but it is,
on the whole, excellent fun. THE First
Year." splendidly directed by William
K Howard, shows Miss Janet Gaynor
and. in particular, Charles Farrell at
their best. Devil and the Deep" is the
closest thing to good vehicle that Miss
Tallullah Bankhead has yet had.

Lugers, sawed-of shotguns, triggerless
hammer weapons that have made West
ern h1Story-the real Bill Hart of the
screen comes back. That lean, alert
look creeps into his face; that grim,
sardonic look of the hunted with a hu-
man heart. The look, in short, which
won a world and which that world has
not forgotten. He loves to show you
these souvenirs from his friendships
with such men as Bat Masterson and
Wyatt carp, men who gave him the
colorful story OF the young West at
close range.
A shaggy pinto horse may block your
progress at any turn Of the road which
leads from the main highway to the
mountain top. He Is Fritz, the famous
pinto who never used double; Fritz,
who retired when doubling came into
question. Nor did Bill Hart use a dou-
BILE, by the way, and he laughs with that
merry chuckle which is such a sur
prising angle of his personality at men
tion of such an eventuality.
Fritz. the pinto, cost his master $46,-
000-"and he's worth it." Bill Hart
made one entire picture without pay to
own him. Some Of those pictures meant
hospital sessions for Bill Hart, but his
public never knew 1t. Broken fingers
and ribs, and one or two more serious
injuries were the price he paid for his
strict adherence to his code, mo dou-
bling"
Later on, In the great oval swimming
pool, Bill Hart becomes a high school
boy, playing tricks, ducking his guests,
racing them overland to the end of the
pool. Blackie and Brownie, the police
puppies. run along the edge Of the pool
yapping Historically. The sun goes
down on the vast acreage and, far across
the valley, the hint Of a crescent moon
shines wanly in the twilight like q scar.
Why should the king of such realm
come down into the heart and the noise
of the studios to make more pictures?
He laughs and shakes his head in ne
cation. II like 1t here" he says. with
a wave of his hand across El Rancho
that is world in itself.
But the letters still pour In. The
insistence that has never stopped. The
demand for Bill Hart, the bad man, to
come back to the screen.

Picture Notes

COME years ago. Lenore Uric did very
- we'll with a stage play known as
Lulu Belle" Metro -Goldwyn- Mayer,
seeing possibilities in the vehicle, pur-
chased it for screen use. Then, came
difficulties Gar Will Hays put his
foot down firmly against the production.
However, Metro fixed up a new version
of Lulu" and placed a white girl in
the leading role. Jean Harlow was to
have the part, and other characters
were to be Negroes. Again Will Hays
has banned the production-so Lulu
Belle" has little chance of getting to
the screen, unless Mr.. Hays relents.
According to the best of information
from Hollywood, Colleen Moore intends
to try her screen comeback with a
story called Press Agent" William
Haines will play opposite. Sam Wood
will direct. This will be Miss Moore's
first picture since her failure in the
sound pictures.
Carole Lombard will head the woman

Sweden, for the part.

Now that conversation plays such an
important part in the movies, players
on the Fox pay roll have been instructed
to attend more rehearsals and give more
attention to the spoken word. Also,
the company has employed eight die

stories and instruct the actors.
