ing the Spring OF 1880 he went to
China and found it very big. Then he
looked in on Japan and saw that 1t was
little. Having settled those matters to
his own satisfaction, he incorporated
them In a play called Private Lives"
which he wrote during an attack Of the
flu in Shanghai and in which he ap-

exactly three months apiece.

- TAGE folk don't belong to their
audiences - their public - but
motion picture players do.
~ That's what Bette Davis
thinks.
That's what she discovered, she says,
on recent trip to the Atlantic sea-
board to make a personal appearance
at various theaters.
Bette, currently of 10000 Years in
Sing Sing" fame, was a successful
Broadway player prior to going to Hol-
lywood. And as that was only mat
ter of little more than a year ago, she
knows by comparison what she is talk
ing about.
Never, while on the stage. was she
accosted in the street by fans she de-
clares. Never did she receive fan mail
| and rarely was she approached by a
stage door Johnny.
It was never so when she was living
| in New York and playing in person in
| theaters right on Broadway. She could
shop, or walk down Fifth avenue, or
stop for a drink of soda water at the
| corner drug store without arousing the
| interest of any one.
Now everything she does is observed
People whisper, There's Bette Davis"
when she passes. Some Of them seek to
talk to her.
Bette says it's because of the diff
ference Of the two mediums of enter
tainment-stage and screen.
stage people have always been a
little superior" she says You never
heard your grandfather or grandmother
speak of going up to Sarah Bernhardt

! subject of her heart affairs. Her man.
nerS are impeccable and, when inter
viewed by those who keep inside the
allotted conversational area, she is
gracious, highly intelligent and so
amazingly lovely at close range that it
is hard to believe a human face could
be so f1awlessly perfect.
On the screen she ideally exemplifies
the woman of mystery and allure She
is the loveliest Siren-with-a-past type
that the screen has to offer today. She
is convinced that Josef Won Sternberg
can do more for her as director than
any one else. Formerly a cameraman,
he personally attends to all her close
ups and sees that she is lighted and
presented in manner best calculated
to set off her incredible pulchritude
That the tempo set for her by Won
Sternberg had begun to pail on critics
and public did not seem to concern her
She discredited the oft-expressed notion
that she would be tranScendent with
another director-even when that idea
was expressed by Paramount officials.
Will her place, should she leave, be
taken by a foreign star? There's Tala
Birell of Universal, for instance. who
might step in and become the next
siren with-a-past type. Tala Birell has
made two pictures here. In one she
has appeared as the peasant wife of
peasant during the World War She
made but a passingly pleasant impress
sion on the public with this Her next
role, as the heroine in Magma" a
dramatic story of Africa and the sleep,
ing sickness plaques there, may do more
for her.

haps the wise Mr.. Goldwyn has been
waiting for lust such a break as this.
There is Vera Engels of Radio, at
present pretty busy introducing Holly
wood to the charm of Crepes Suzettes,
but very charming herself if the truth
be told.
Irving Thalberg has a German star
up his sleeve-Charlotte Susa by name
A beautiful blonde, she had a high
position in her own country in films
and is now learning English on the
M. G.. M. lot; she could quite well be
a successor to the crown Dietrich is
laying aside so cavalierly. In appear
ance she is much like Wilma Banky,
who was one of the first foreign stars
to make good in a big way in silent
! films.
| Meanwhile If Marlene Dietrich re-
SumeS work in Germany will she be
seen here, and loved here, as she was
in Blue Angel" or will she become
one of those names like Kaethe Won
Macy, Brigitte Helm, Frau Kenny
Porten and other German stars, ex-
cellent artists all, but practically IN
known to the vast American public,
which is, after all, the worlds great
fan center.
If Marlene Dietrich passes up $4,000
week and the American public in the
| interests of art, it is a great devotion
! to her concept of the artistic and it
| should be rewarded by some exception
ally fine films Of that type known in
official circles as artistic but non-com-
mercial." No four thousand week
salaries grow out of those, but Marlene
Dietrich frankly says she does not live

his newest play he will not allow him

Marion Davies
Film Finished

An important musical screen
production, Going Hollywood" in
which Marion Davies is the star
with Bing Crosby as her grooming
leading man, has been completed.
The new Davies film, which Raoul
Walsh is directing for Cosmopoli'
tan for Metro oldwyn-Mayer re-
lease, is to be backgrounded with
lavish spectacle and q tunetul
score, composed by the popular
song-writing team of Naclo Herb
Brown and Arthur Freed.
In the picture, Crosby plays the
convenient role of radio crooner
who goes to Hollywood to make a
motion picture. Naturally, this
places him doubly in an advan
tageous position to sing the mum
bers. In several of the scenes
particularly romantic passages
he will share song numbers with
Miss Davies. A Hollywood studio
is the locale of the major portion
of the story, an original by Donald
Ogden Stewart and provides ideal
opportunity for the presentation
of ensemble spectacles, staged by
Nine. Albertina Rasch.
There are six song numbers, in
Guiding a romantic theme song
which is to be heard at various
intervals in the production. Miss
Davies is featured in the Rasch
ensembles which were made with
a wealth of production value and
thrilling camera effects. The COS
tunes are by Adrian.

Brent in From Headquarters Opens
At the METROPOLITAN

"From Headquarters" which
opened yesterday at the Metropoli-
tan, presents graphic panorama
of the efforts of the police de-
partment to solve a murder mys-
terry.
This perturbation of the inside
workings of detectives, finger
print experts, scientists and the
like, all undoubtedly authentic,
necessarily limits the story and
acting possibilities. The death Of
a Matchmaking man-about-town,
with several suspects forms the
background, against which is
shown the actual methods en-
ployed to ferret out criminal.
There is none of the secret
panel-sliding- door-shots in the dark
plot in the film. Neither are its
detectives the super-sleuth type,
George Brent represents the ana
lytical, scientific species of detec-
tives, while Eugene Palette advo-
Gates the third degree and rough
treatment.
The story moves to a fast and
logical climax, which the ba1istic
experts and their like have made
possible. The members of the cast
serve acceptably. George Brent
portrays his character in some
what stolid manner, in love with
the inevitable girl, under suspicion
of murder.
Margaret Lindsay, Palette,
Hugh Herbert and others complete
the roster. Dorothy Burgess con-
tributes an effective bit. For those
who are curious about what goes
on behind detective bureaus walls,
From Headquarters" should
prove entertaining and instructive.
On the supplementary program
is a musical short featuring Eddie
Duchin's orchestra, a Harry Lang
don comedy and the newsreel, pic
turing the recent California and
! Maryland lynchings.
