Newman Talks on
Exposition
At Paris

One would hardly countenance
a continental tour of any con-
sequences unless the alluring cap
ital of the Republic of France
was visited and especially re-
Gently, since the French were
holding their Colonial Exposition,
in the Bois De Vincennes. on
the outskirts of Paris.
1t was to this fantaSticdl
fairyland that E. M. Newman,
veteran raconteur, selected as his
lecture theme to inaugurate his
tWenty-third season at the Ma
tional Theater yesterday after
noon.
Here in this veritable land of
magic, France has assembled for
the edification of her subjects,
many architectural gems, art
treasures, and displays, each rep
resentative of the particular coun-
try from whence it came, along
with other contributions from
Belgium, Holland, Italy and the
United States.
The most magnificent bit in
the entire assemblage undoubt-
edly is the Temple Of Angkor
a true likeness of the famous
architectural curiosity in Indo-
China. Reproduction of the
Marakesh aptly served to repre-
sent Morocco, while the souks
from Tunis and bazaars of Al
geria each seemed literally to
have been transplanted from
their native soil.
A tone of regal splendor was
added to the pageantry due to
the presence of the Queen of the
Netherlands, who officiated at
the ceremonies opening the build
ing of Holland, while many nota,
bles of our own country assisted
in the dedication of the Mt. Yer
non mansion, the contribution OF
the United StateS.-CWAR.

The past few months have
given up football from almost
every angle: the glorification of
the fullback, halfback, quarter
back only opened the way for
the ultimate aggrandizement of
the coach. 1t remained for Co.
lumbia pictures, however, to give
us a story of the coach'S son.
Young Dudley had heard foot
ball since he was born; he was
to be the greatest pigSkin hero
of his day. Perhaps they rubbed
it in too deep; anyway, the kid
rebelled when his coach-father
goaded him TO desperation, called
him yellow" He went to a
rival college, where he proved
himself a chip off the old block
and won the greatest game OF
his career, a game against his
father.
Guess on Solution
Emotionally, this screen play
will leave you bit muddled as
to The ethics involved; it seems
improbable that a person VINO
harped on fotball as did this
coach, who boasted Of knowing
his game letter-perfect, could
have been so ignorant as to the
fighting lineup of college
whose yearly challenge was foot
ball history.
On the other hand, the son
apparently needed only a sharp
slap to wake him up to his own
strength and capabilities. I'll
leave the solution to you O. you
or you; the time-honored scramble
for pigskin glory may be more
in your line.

appealing presence. In her duets
with her Prince Charming the
little bar maid was especially eff
fective and Deep in My Heart"
is still something to cherish.
Allan Prior plays the role Of
the perturbed Prince Carl Franz
who was unable to follow the
dictates of his heart and proved
a romantic actor competently en-
dowed to make his vocal mo-
mentS worthy.
Daveny Sing Well
Hollis Daveny, pleasantly re-
called as the earlier Franz Shu-
bert of Blossom Time" is the
DIR. Engel' and graces this char
acter with a sympathetic whole
someness besides contributing a
beautiful voice.
The comedy reposes chiefly, in
the role of "Lutz" and George
Hassell contrives to milk this
character of it's laugh possibilities
with grotesque buffooneries that
register solidly. Marion Weeks,
Gus Alexander, Belle Sylvia and
Tom Ahern are others who
helped out on the lighter side.
COIOrful Costumes
Margaret Cantrell, Charles Ches-
ney, Robert Long, Edwin Fosberg,
and Robert Horn were among
those who furnished fine assist
ance in an acting and singing way.
The Student Prince" has color
full costumes which help to make
this a thoroughly enjoyable pro-
duction of Dorothy. Donnelly'S

1892 Pictures to
Film Many
Horrors
BY HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright, 1882. King Features
Syndicate, Inc)

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 25.-Mo-
ton pictures of 1882 will venture
farther off the beaten track than
ever before.
Consider these three titles,
which are on Paramount's pro.
duction schedule: THE Island of
DR.. Moreau," by H. G.. Wells;
THE Man With the Red Hair, "
by Hugh Walpole, and "R-U-R,' -
by the CapekS.
Compared to the movies of yes
terday, these stories represent
giant strides toward unconven-
tiOnal screen enter a nment.
THE Island of DR.. Moreau" is
the tale of a scientist who turns
beasts into men, The Man
With the Red Hair" a pure hor-
ror story, is a study in progress
sive sadism. "R-U-R," familiar
as a play, relates the conquest
of the world by robots.
Due to its similarity to Or.
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" the Wal
pole story is in allegiance, but
one of the three doubtless will
get under way this spring.
At the time of it's purchase,
Paramount intended THE Man
With the Red Hair" as vehicle
for Irving Pichel. Now, Charles
Laughton, the English actor, has
been put under contract to re-
create his London role. Laugh
ton also is slated for the lead in
The Island of DR.. Moreau."
B. P. Shulberg looks for this
actor to create a sensation on
the screen.

1t is a genuine pleasure, once

mend a film without reservations.
Usually the conscientious reviewer
feels impelled to insert a few

what he regards an entertaining

But there need be no butts
about Union Depot showing at

unusual, original story, well

Assemblies Authors

. y
THE authorS-and they in
cluded some of the best writing
names on the coast-looked at
each other with wry faces.
This was the new boss, how
ever, and there wasn't much
that they could do about it. So
one by one they began to out
line plots.
: The alleged expert didn't like
anything. Before the author
could get half way in his tale
the expert would begin to shake
his head in a decidedly negative
fashion.
"'No good he would MUIR
mur. absolutely no good. Sucn
a plot would not contain the
basic values of the dramatic eS-
sence. I'm afraid you will have
to get something else
This went on for a couple OF
hours and the writer's were just
about ready to take solid
punches at this pompous dope.
One of them-a man you know
very we'll. Mark-suddenly
made up his mind to put an
end to this foolishneSs. He de-
; cided to ad lib a ridiculous
plot and let it go at that.
They Outline Stories
so, while the others lis
tened, with subdued grinS, the
author began to talk. 1t was
obvious that he was making up
the fantastic tale on the spot.
He started off with horse race
idea. switched to a girl in the
five and ten cent store, threw
in a society marriage, had the
heroine leap from the hand OF
the Statue of Liberty to elude
the villain, and so forth. When
he finished he pounded the
table.
"That's my picture he an
nounced grimly. and the title l
would like for it is Emma"
ITO everyone's amazement the
expert was nodding his head
slowly. The other authors had
expected the creator of the fan
tastic tale to be bounced from
the studio Immediately. But
here was their new boss smiling
very affably for the first time
since the meeting began. Sud-
denly he spoke.
"'My friends was his aston
ishing announcement, we have
finally hit something. That is
my idea of a real motion pic
ture plot. And do you know
why 1 particularly like it? My
wife's name is Emma.
Here's a New Racket
"Talk about your different
rackets," writes Murray K.
Here's one that's WOW.
"The racketeer puts an ad-
vertisement in reliable paper.
It reads that a young man is
wanted as a clerk and that
the salary will be $50. Naturally,
times being what they are, the
racketeer receives anywhere
from 300 to 500 replies. He
then takes the names and ad-
dresses. prints phoney tele-
grams in connection with the
job and delivers them himself.
1nasmuch as he gets some rs
cents for each wire. you can
see that he nets several hun
dred dollars on each ad.
Not bad, eh?"...
