Colleen Moore Is Back.

DRAMATIC as are the sagas of re-
- tired actresses working their way
back to screen prominence, little more
picturesque even is the force which
brings Colleen Moore back to the
screen.
The star, who breaks her three years
Of retirement to play the leading fem
inine role In Fox Films The Power
and the Glory" Jesse Lasky produc-
ton, was In no need Of money. She has
plenty of money. II wasn't the desire
TO renew her experience with fame, for
fame, she says, is only q temporary
thing"
Her return to the screen is . desire
to work out her professional salvation
after three years Of utter boredom-a
boredom that drove her to tears, thumb
twiddling and even desperation.
Getting back to work means more to
me than any one will ever know" she
said. For three years I've been mis-
cradle trying to occupy my mind by
travelling. But the little satisfaction 1
got out of that was marred every time
I passed q theater.
FOR six months 7 attended IN art
school In Los Angeles, hoping to forget.
Il was an experience enjoyed. but
only for . short time. Then I went to
New York and sought escape in the
study OF music. You see was trying
everything-trying desperately to de-
stroy the motion picture virus that had
gotten into my blood and wouldn't wash
out.
But music, fond as am of 1t, bored
me terribly. Everything would have
been all right, suppose, II the drama
pages hadn't persisted In screaming past
glories at me, and II my friends had
dined me Is the Colleen Moore who had
retired, rather than the Aim star that
was"
There will be no more fapper parts
for her, the star said. Henceforth she
will confine her screen activities to
emotional Northumberland that
will make her feel that she u an
actress rather than q doll"

Athlete With Personality.

RUSTER CRABBE is in the movies
- because he is an athlete with per-
sonality. II he had been an athlete
without a personality. or a personality
without athletic ability, things would
have been different.
Crabbe. World-champion swimmer,
was chosen from among dozens Of ath-
letes considered to play the role OF
the Lion Man in King OF the Jungle"
He met all the requirements set by the
studio for the role-brawny, but grace
full figure, voice to match. a striking
screen personality and some acting
ability
The competition through which
Crabbe won himself the role Vas set
under way as the result Of the dilemma
In which the Paramount Studios, pro-
ducers Of the Aim, found themselves.
after 1t was decided TO produce king
Of the Jungle" It was discovered that
there was no male player In Hollywood
to flt the role Of the studios taste. So
the Lion Man Contest was undertaken.
Numerous prominent athletic stars
were considered in the competition.
Georges Carpenter, sleek French box
ing star. was given camera tests. Max
Baer. "Adonis Of the prize ring" was
considered tentatively. So was Nick
LutZ, former NOtre lame lOOt Ddll SCaI,
now a professional wrestler. Ernie Cad
dell. Stanford foot ball flash: Joe
Savoldi, ex-Notre Dame star; Bob Hall
and Orv Mohler. well known On the
gridiron. were prominently mentioned.
In addition thousands Of members Of
Y. M. c. AS, athletic clubs and Um-
nasiums, who sent In their photos, were
considered. Studio scouts attended the
Olympic games in Los Angeles and
secuted every foot ball team which
played ON the Coast In search Of likely
candidates.
Crabbe, who was ultimately selected
for the role, Is well known to sports fol-
lowers.
As q swimmer, he competed in two
Olympic games, the one in Austsrdam
in 1928 and the last one, held In Los
Angeles. He holds five worlds cham
pionships and IS national champion

N have been known to jot them
i down on notebooks. Some
mark them down on scraps Of
paper. But Noel Coward Is probably
the first author to write play in q
cablerram. And "Cavaleade" Is prob
ably the first dramatic work 50 writ
ten.
1t happened this way, As Coward tells
"Td had q play like 'Cavalcade' in
mind for quite some time. l had always
wanted to do something epochal. And
one fine day. while I was in New York
acting in Bitter Sweet I cabled
Charles B. Cochran, my London pro-
ducer. asking him what he thought OF
the idea. Cochran cabled me to tell
him the story. I sat down and sent
what Is probably the longest cabiegram
I ever hope to write.
There are 81 scenes in the play, and
I outlined them completely, everything
but the dialogue"
With this as a start, Coward. as soon
as he arrived in London, went to work
on it.
Coward talked rapidly and with his
customary animation as he told the
story of '"Cavalcade" 1T has given
me more thrills than anything else
ever attempted-in the conceiving OF
1t, ths staging, the rehsarsing, and
finally when It went before the foot
lights Of Londons historic Drury Lane
Theater."
He is rather proud Of little device
he invented during rehearsak OF the
play. The script called for 500 people
on the stage during several scenes. In
the motion picture version these 500
were multiplied so times over, $4,000
extras having been engaged to appear
in the spectacle. Coward had never
before manipulated so many perform
ers. He devised the scheme Of divid-
ing them into groups, allotting q large
distinctively colored plaque for each
members. Bach plaque bore . number.
And when Coward wanted one or more
members Of one Of the Srosxpe to join
another. he merely called colors and
numbers.
''One a ths greatest thrills Of my
life WAs when the Kings sQuefry noti-
nsd " that tbs entire royal family
would attend . performance Of 'CAyal-
cads.' The word wsnt around like Wild
hre, and the interior Of Drury Lane
Theater that night looked like the IA

all sides. Nobility, lord and ladies, in
formal attire, sat in the aisles because
no other seats were available"
FOR Coward this was in striking con-
trast to . little scene enacted In an
automat on Broadway IL years earlier.
There were two actors in this drama,
Coward himself and Ronald Colman.
whom Coward describes as dear
friend" They were both broke. They
were both out Of work. And they were
both discussing their prospects.
Colman was heading for Los Angeles
to make . try at q film career. He
urged Coward to come along. Coward
had been writing plays that no pro-
ducer would accept. But he kept
right on.
mo" Coward says he told Colman
I'm going to stay on and keep writing
don't care how many times they turn
me down. Sooner or later one Of them
will take . chance"
Neither knew what was In store for
them, but both were brightly confident.
Both have made good in their re-
speetive fields. In "CavalcAde" Coward
for the hrst time strikes into the dra-
matte medium tn which Colman found
his opportunity. But Coward doesn't
