Out Of Is players comprising
the principals Of the splendid
cast of "Skyscraper Souls" coming
to the Fox Theater for a world
premiere next Friday, the new
Cosmopolitan picture from the
famous serial story and novel
by Faith Baldwin only Maureen
O'Sullivan and Anita Page were
not developed on the speaking
stage. And with one further ex-
ception, all of the rest were re
cruited from Broadway, and came
to Hollywood with regulations.
Miss O'Sullivan was discovered
singing in a cafe in Dublin, Ire
land, when Director Frank Bor-
zage went there to film scenes
for a picture starring the singer,
John Mccormack.
Anita Page was visiting Holly
wood from New York, where she
expected to become a clothes de-
signer, when her beauty won her
a film contract. Following her
great success in Broadway Mel
ody," she has remained con-
stantly in Metro-G Goldwyn-Mayer
productions.

On the other hand, Warren Will

Ivan in "Skyscraper Souls" re-

in every move, word and gesture.
He was taken from the Broadway
cast of THE Vinegar Tree" for
his first screen role.

An Irish Actor

Mr.. Brent can be further iden-
titled as the leading man of the
last Ruth Chatterton picture,
The Rich Are Always With U.s."
Some critics insist he stole the
honors of this picture, but III
let it go by saying he was very,
very good. Although he looks ike
Clark Gable, his intimate friend,
he dislikes the comparison.
Brent is an Irishman, being
born in Dublin in 1904 and hav-
ing a degree from the National
University in his native city. He
liked the stage and so appren-
ticed himself to the Abbey The
ater and the Irish Players. Hav-
ing acquired knowledge OF foot
light fundamentals he came TO
America. Insofar as I have been
able to discover his Broadway
appearances were confined to a
group of we'll forgotten flops. So
he turned to stock. 1t is told
that he would have preferred to
join Steve Cochran's stock COM
pany but no vacancy being
available he did the next
best thing, signed up with the
Glitch Gardens troupe at Denver.
He served there for two repertoire
season. Then he went to Holly
wood, where Clark Gable, already
established, was able to put in
good word for him and hasten
the big chance. Once before the
camera and microphones he sold
himself to American audiences.
80 Big" weekend Marriage"
and Homicide Squad" are some
of the pictures in which he has
appeared.
With the warner Brothers
studios closed for summer lay
off, Actor Brent was invited to
take little tour of the Warner
Brothers theaterS before resuming
Hollywood activities. Just what
he and Loretta Young (another
favored w. B. contract player)
will do for vaudeville audiences
remains up to the minute of
going to press a profound secret.

eral hundred thousand pounds

ton to the millions already ex-
ported, irrespective of the fact
that the majority of foreign
films are totally unsuitable for
exhibition here on Sunday eve
nings. 1t is perfectly true, as
Mr.. Carroll says, that there
should be one evening in the
week on which the public could
be freed from the "SubverSive,
destru tive, anti-ethicaI, and
anti-sOciaI'' films sent to us
from aboard. No person Of
sense wishes to see the British
Sunday" preserved in its en-
tirety, and there is no good
reason why the stage should
not share in the Sunday privi-
leges granted to the screen, but
there is every good reason why
the British Sunday should be
reserved for English entertain
ment. The British Sunday is
passing, but there is still time
for the legislation that will
make Sunday British.

two basketball teams were calm and
collected, waiting patiently at the

part for Benton City to play a game

started for Benton City. Did they get
