! nerS on the fingers of your right
hand. The others came and, in
stead of conquering, were con-
quered.
This is a sad state of affairs
and one which it seems Hollywood
should begin to take more Seri-
ouSly. Especially at this time,
when cinema audiences are un-
questionably falling off, the matter
should be given real attention.
Not that the system of allowing
stars to appear in person is a bad
one; it is merely that they are
given such hideous material to
work with, and such short time
to prepare it that it is no wonder
they are not able to make last
ing impression.
The case of Una Merkel is one
in point. Miss Merkel said plain
lively when she was here last
week: IT did so want to make this
something big. I looked forward
to it so. And then, when they
gave me just that business, I
could have cried. I was terribly
disappointed. just as I knew the
auQ1enCe was.
It seems as though the time
has come for the studios to de-
vote a few of their waking hours
to preparing f1rSt-claSS SkitS for
their actors If they expect to
have any friends left. After all,
cinema stars come under the
heading of entertainment" and
whether they be as lovely as
Santa Claus, or as whimsical as
Texas Guinan, they should at
least be able to put something
across. Many of these stars, it is
said, are able to act.
If this wholesale Summertime
sport of peregrinating film stars
is to prosper, a firm foundation
should be developed for its sue
cess. AS long as the studios have
fleets of film writer's who, it is
said, are not always as busy as
they might be shades of P. G..
WodehouSeD why not corral
those less furiouSly employed and
turn them over into the "Skits-
for r-actors-off the lot" depart
ment. Imagine the JOY of seeing
Miss Loretta Young and Mr.. Brent
in a new, fresh, almost Beatrice
Lillyian creation! Or Miss Merkel
being able to give full sway to her
very considerable talents as an
excellent comedienne.
None of these recently-com to-
town idols have been seen in any,
thing that approached good en-
! tertainment. In fact, it was said
that people could hear Warren
William gnashing his teeth in in
dignation all the way across the
street from the Earle. He's a good
actor. Why not let him be one?
The answer is-it's probably hot
in Hollywood right now, too!

THE Pantheon de la Guerre, which Is

G street northwest, Is rapidly mount
ing In popularity and is numbered one
Of many places to be visited by tourists.
The famous painting is attracting
thousands daily. The management
states that many who have already seen
the famous masterpiece return the sec
ond time to bring their friends, and
spend many hours viewing the vast
spectacle through fieldglasSeS and
discussing the minute details.
The spectator viewing the tremen-
dous panorama from the observation
decks at the center, forgets for the
moment 1t is the work Of mere artists,
and imagines himself at a point of
vantage some 80 miles out of Paris,
near the Belgian frontier, watching the
progress of the World War, while the
details are explained by competent lee
turers. The nucleus of artists, % OF
them, were members of the Beaux Arts
of France, and the residue of about 100
able artists made up the corps Of some
1913 men who toiled, often under shell
fire. for the four years Q9l4-19lO
until the armistice, when they laid
down their brushes, and people from all
parts of the world now marvel at the
spectacle they created.
