HOLLYWOOD, Cal, March 8.
That best seller of 1897, "The
Christian" is to be made into a
talkie, costarring the ultramod-
ern Jean Harlow and the ironic
John Barrymore.
Refining of the famous Hall
Caine novel will be undertaken
by David o. Selznick as one Of
the early pictures under his new
associate producer contract at
Metro-G Goldwyn-Mayer.
This announcement should stir
memories for thousands of mo-
tion picture fans who were
thrilled by the book and who re-
member the silent version of the
story made by the old Goldwyn
company in 1928. Then, 1t was
Richard Dix who played the
stern preacher and Mae Busch
who portrayed the self-willed
heroine. Samuel Goldwyn sent
the company all the way to Lon
don to get authentic background,
and the picture was one of the
important releases Of the year.
Though there'll be no London
trip this time, Dave Selznick
also plans to make the new YER
sion into a big picture.

Another effort to have book pro.

Sleeping Beauty
At The Picco|i

"The Sleeping Beauty" pre-
sented by Mr.. Podrecca's edu'
Gated marionettes at the matt
nee performance of The Piccoli"
is a charming musical fantasy
which delighted every child (and
the adults, too) at yesterdays
show.
This well-known fairy tale has
been slightly revised in its pres
ent presentation, but the beauty
of it's scenery and costumes and
the expert manipulation of the
marionnettes enhance the value
of it's retelling.
The princess who is put to sleep,
the bad women who puts the
curse on her, the king and queen
and the prince are all here, sur
rounded by a lifting musical ac-
compartment sung by the accom-
plished troupe. Lighting and
scenery effects were particularly
noteworthy, especially in a spi
der's web-spinning scene.
To see one of their favorite
folk-tales enacted on a stage
should spell enjoyment to every
boy and girl, and the production
by the adept puppets leaves moth
ing to be desired. This will be
repeated at every matinee for the
remainder of the week.
In addition, parts one and

single visit worthwhile. Be-
sides, if you watch the faces
of the natives as the girls

Free Lunch at Bars
The reason for the late din.
ing very possibly lies in the
fact that the better bars in
Cairo insist upon stuffing you
with the greatest variety Of
free lunch since the old Bowery
days. As a general rule, I
don't race from bar to bar. I
sometimes walk, but I never
race. In Cairo, however. that
seems to be the accepted thing
to do. The more bars you can
cover in one evening, the bet
ter the time you are supposed
to be having.
Drinks in Cairo cost, roughly,
about 28 cents each in the
best places. But with that
drink goes the most astound-
ing amount of free food that
you can possibly imagine.
Sardines, various meats, rad.
ishes, pickles, olives, native
concoctions, cakes and differ
ent types of fish are to be
had for the asking-plus any
kind of sandwich you may
wish to have prepared. All
that goes with the drink. So,
for % cents, man can get
deathly sick without any
trouble whatsoever.
Since it is quite the proper
thing to cover two or three Of
these bars before dining, you
can readily understand Why
the good people Of Cairo do
not relish thu idea of eating at
home until late in the evening.
These facts are presented to
you in the event that you
might some day be somebody's
guest in Cairo. Until I got wise
to the racket, I almost starved
to death.
The night life of Cairo is
just about what you might ex-
pect it to be. The cafes, for
the most part, might have
been transplanted intact from
either New York or London.
The shows, the music and the
atmosphere are almost identi-
cal and there is nothing new
for me to describe in connec.
tion with these night clubs.
Accordingly, we'll let that
slide.
