Hollywood---The king Is dead
long live the king!
All of which is just another way
OF saying that Edward G. Robin
son is relinquishing all claims as
the king of movie gangsters, a
position to which he assembled with
the making to Little Caesar" a
year or so ago. And he will en-
deavor to become king in a new
field Of characterizations.
In his current film, 1.-TWO Sec
onds," Robinson appears in the
first and last scenes strapped in
an electric chair. The footage in
between shows the thoughts which
race through the mind of a man
about to be executed. I have
known a lot of actors who would
balk at such a finish to their films.
But not Robinson. This little guy
will try anything as long as the
part is a good one.
.
MAY END GANG ROLES.
In facN Eddie is sort Of happy
over this execution scene. He Is
hoping that the public will accept
it as the death of Little Caesar"
and the legend of ruthlessness
which has become attached to him
by his tremendous success in that
role.
It's strange what, pictures will
do to an actor. Before coming to
Hollywood, Eddie was known as
an actor with high artistic sense

similar productions of the Thea

entered pictures. made little
Caesar" and Immediately became
known a ruthless racketeer.
So successfully did Eddie sub
merge his own personality in his
hard boiled screen roles that he
found himself being regarded as
this type of person in real life.
And, needless to say, that legend
which became attached to him has
caused him no slight embarrass-
ment.
SAYS HE WAS MISQUOTED.
ITO further the impression that
I actually am a racketeer with
racketeering principles, even have
been reported as criticizing my as
sociates on the SCREEN" Robinson
told me. 81 actually have been
quoted as making derogatory re-
marks about the work Of my
friends. Naturally, such remarks
are wholly untrue.

and Walter Huston are among my
closest friends and I have high
respect for them as artists. I still
regard Barrymore's Hamlet as
the most magnificent performance
I ever have seen. No, I will not
play Caesar with my friends no
matter how much good such acts
might do my screen career" he
says.
That's why Eddie is glad he is
going to the electric chair in his
new film. He hopes that the exc
cution scene will forever kill that
character in the public mind!

Hollywood - After all these
weeks of arguing with Will Hays
and the New York censor board,
Howard Hughes will release his
gangsater picture, "Scarface," I'M
der its original title.
Hughes went to q lot of work
and spent some thousands of dol
lars in his efforts to please Hays
and the eastern censors. He
changed the title Of the film sew
eral times and shot retakes on a
number of scenes. But still these
gentlemen wern't satisfied.
So the young millionaire pro-
Queer chucked the whole works
and is bringing out the picture in
its original form whether anyone
likes 1t or not.
One prediction Is that the pub
lie will like it just as they
would like other things which
Hays and censors force producers
to eliminate. True to prediction.

All=Star Cast

"Arrowsmith," the masterpiece
of Sinclair Lewis, the only Ameri-
can novelist ever to win a Nobel
prize. comes as a motion picture
to the Fox Poll Palace theater
on Sunday for four days, in a
great production by Samuel Gold
wyn, with Ronald Colman playing
the title role of the crusading young
DOCTOR
Metropolitan critics have al
ready hailed "Arrowsmith" as one
of the most important pictures of
this year. and Sinclair Lewis him
self, after witnessing its New York
premiere, acknowledged publicly
that 1t had succeeded in doing
everything he had tried to do In
the book. The distinction of its
story, the importance of its cast
and the acclaim with which 1t has
been received combine to make 1t
a einematic event.
Helen Hayes, the stage star who
recently triumphed in her first
screen appearance in "The Sin OF
Madelon Claudet," plays opposite
Roland Colman in the role of the
devoted wife who risks her life for
her husbands career. Richard Ben
nett, the stormy petrol of the stage
and father of Constance. Joan and
Barbara Bennett, has q major role
as Sondelius, the plague-fighting
Swede, and A. E. Arson, an emf
nent stage figure making his mo-
ton picture debut, has another rich
character role.
Splendid Support Cast
Myrna 10y, Florence Britton,
Claude King, Alice B. Francis take
important parts. and several Of the
minor roles are filed by the same
galaxy of expert actors who made
every character in Samuel Cold
wyn's Secret Scene" an individu-
al event.
The story Of "Arrowsmith" is
the story of one mans devotion
and ambition in the battle Of hui
mainly against the death-dealing
plaques which have always been
the scourge of mankind. It sweeps
from the mid-western countryside
to tropical island in the West
Indies. where young DR. Arrow
smith and his colleagues go to bat
tie against the black death. His re-
lations with the little nurse he
marries as a struggling country
doctor, continuing throughout the
picture, weave a broad current of
romance through its sitting scenes.
Awarded Nobel Prize
"Arrowsmith" as a novel Is ac-
knowledged by most critics to be
the finest work of Sinclair Lewis.
It's author. It won a Pulitzer prize
on publication, only to have Mr.
Lewis refuse to accept the award
as not representing his work. Last
year his emminence as an interna-
tionally important writer. was rec
ognized by the award of the Nobel
prize for literature, the greatest
such award in the world. previous

':Scarface" Finally Wins
Out As Gang Film, Title

"scarface" probably will be the
last Of q long run Of gangster
films. It il just about the ulti-
mate in such a form of entertain
ment and until someone comes
along who can top It, there Is lit
tie sense In filming any more such
pictures. ID.
Unlike most types, each UNDER
world film must surpass the pre-
ceding ones to be successful. That
has been the history Of gang films
since their start.
"Scarface," according to fits pre-
lude, was made to show the true
conditions in America today and
to ask the government, why and
how long such things are to be
permitted. Every scene in It is
said to have been taken from q real
life incident.
That, of course, doesn't In
clude the romance woven in to
make the picture conform with
movie standards.
