Marion Davies in
Irish Role Again

Marion Davies as a typical
Irish colleen, is treat millions
of followers of this screen
actress have awaited for since
her earlier triumphant Celtic
roles in Little Old New York
and other films. Now such q
vehicle has come along, in "Peg
O. MY Heart" Cosmopolitan pro-
duction opening soon at a local
theater.
In "Peg O. My Heart" the
versatile and captivating Miss
Davies is seen as a poverty
stricken and motherleSs Irish girl
who suddenly comes into a large
fortune. Her separation from
her father and the obstacles
placed in her path by weather.
members of the family before
she can claim this unexpected
wealth form the dramatic fabric
of the story.
Miss Davies has been &C.
claimed by West Coast and New
York critics as turning in her
finest recent performance and
one of the most competent and
ingratiating of her entire career
as the heroine Of "Peg O. My
Heart"
The new picture was directed
by Robert z. Leonard, who had
previously directed for the same
star such productions as Mari
anna" "The Bachelor Father"
and Its a Wise Child"
In the central male role Of
"Peg O. My Heart" is a screen
newcomer, Onslow Stevens, who
has been pointed to by critics as
one of the most promising Of the
younger players now working IN
pictures. Picture followers will
no doubt be interested in watch
ing Mr.. Stevens in his present
rapid rise to cinema fame.
"Peg O. My Heart" is adapted
from one of the most successful
stage plays ever launched on the
American stage. Written by j..
Hartley Manners, the play in its
original form ran for two sea-
sons on Broadway with Laurette
Taylor starred, and continued to
play first runs about the country
for two more years. Since then
it has been frequently revived,
and with uniform success.
The supporting cast Of Miss
Davies new production includes
such familiar names as Irene
Browne, j. Farrell Macdonald,
Juliette Compton, Doris Lloyd
and Alan Mowbray.

Magic, seances, kidnapping,
mystery and murder-there's
practically nothing missing in
Trick for Trick" which is play
ing currently at Loew's Colum-
bia.
It seems that on the Jersey
shore. just across the river from
the bright lights of New York,
there dwells a master magician in
a spooky house, where doors dis
appear, floors open into huge
abysses and strange things go on.
The master magician is Azrah,
who also conducts seances, con-
verses with the dead and solves
murders.
Azrah, suave, calm and always
willing to do his tricks, has an
elaborate scientific laboratory
behind all his trickery, which
regulates the disappearing floors,
the smoke screen for communion
with the dead and kindred
"spookiness" by electrical i'm
pulses.
Now, Azrah isn't a bad sort
after you get to know him, but
he looks mighty suspicious. And
he has a friend, a former
partner, who pulls lighted
cigarettes from thin air, who's a
bad 'un. His friend is La Tour,
who comes to a bad end, and
serves him right.
The story begins with one
murder, leads to a kidnapping and
another murder and the solution
of everything. But it wouldn't be
fair to tell on the magician.
Ralph Morgan plays Azrah and
he does it well, although it seems
rather a shame to waste Mr..
Morgan on this sort Of picture.
Sally Blame, looking more and
more like her sister, Loretta
Young, plays a very pretty heart
interest for a young man about

Douglas Fairbanks, which wound
up in the divorce courts. AS If
anybody sitting on a movie desk
hasn't heard the steady stream Of
uncomplimentary stuff about
young Fairbanks and the inside
facts which anybody who has
lived a month in Hollywood can
give.
Another story which has been
repeated several times gives me
growing pains. It's about Ruth
Chatterton and George Brent and
Ralph Forbes and their perfect
understanding. Ruth, they would
have you believe, gets more atten-
ton and devotion from Mr.. Forbes,
her ex-husband, than she did
when they were man and wife.
And George Brent, her present
husband, is sympathetic and so
knowing he loves to have Mr..
Forbes hanging around the Chat
terton hacienda. To which I say
nuts again and double nuts. I
speak for those who are out OF
the kindergarten.
One of the most mournful
yarns I ever remember reading
gave an analysis of Charlie Chap
lin as a genius. What it tried to
prove was that mustached Char
lie should not be treated like an
ordinary mortal. It was necessary,
said the writer, that he have his
affairs" and the woman who was
welded to him must understand
it if she would live happily. Again
I say walnutS and hickorieS to
such "boloney."
I know a certain high-hattin'
Hollywood star whose romance is
often written about as a lyrical
poem. The facts are that her
husband has a yen for blackening
her eye whenever they have a dis
pute and once in a while the deco
ration has been applied in pub
lie. The star retorts in kind.
Are stars people? think they
are. Probably no better or no
worse than ordinary mortalS.
Those interpretative writer's on
Hollywood domestic affairs just
simply go overheard in their de-
sire to keep them sweet and de-
mure, gentle and cultured. But
the truth has a way of trickling
through and then these yarns all
sound both fatuous, futile and
silly.

ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN
-ey-

that phrase I can't help won
dering what makes authors
think their readers are gentle
that Florence had her accident.
What good would the story be
and how would she become the
wife triumphant if an accident
hadn't happened?
Here's how it happened: A
few months later, as Jones sat
in his office one morning, the
telephone rang. His secretary
took the message and, at the
conclusion Of the conversation,
turned and gazed at her boss
with some concern.
"Mr. JONES'" she asserted, IT
think you'd better go home
right away. Your wife met with
an accident.
All the way home the man
was in a distracted frame of
mind. When he reached home
at last he bolted up the stairs.
And he was just in time to
meet the doctor coming out Of
his wife's room.
'"Tell me, doc" he cried, sis
1t serious? What happened?
Will she be all right? Is she
badly hurt?"
The medico shook his head
consolingly.
There's nothing to worry
about" he told William. "She's
had a rather nasty fall, and
her hip is dislocated slightly.
But 1 can assure you that she'll
be all right again in a few
weeks if she just keeps quiet"
William drew a long sigh Of
relief and tiptoed into his wife'S
bedroom.
He's So Sorry
Darling" he murmured, and
he never realized that it had
taken an accident to make him
give out the first darling" in
almost a year, I'm so sorry.
Terribly sorry this happened"
His wife made the most of her
opportunity.
."You see, William" were her
words, you were wrong, after
all, and I was right. did have
an accident, and the money that
went into the policy wasn't
wasted. That nice young man
was right, after all, wasn't he?
And because the husband was
still shaken and uncertain, he
wasn't in his usual good form
that day. He merely nodded,
patted his Wife's hand, and said
nothing.
It was two or three weeks be.
fore the insurance company got
around to sending a representa-
tive to investigate the Jones
case. BY that time Alice was
hobbling around with the aid Of
a cane. William had stayed at
home that morning to make GER
tain that things were settled in
a satisfactory manner.
The investigator took down
the facts. And they were just a
trifle strange. He admitted
freely that it was one of the
oldest cases he had ever en-
countered. For Florence, it
seems, had dislocated her hip
after slipping on a lead pencil.
II think I still have the pen
cil," she stated, with some of
the scratches on it. Just a
moment"
She hobbled to the desk
drawer and brought out the pen
Gil. William and the investi-
gator took one look-and both
nearly tainted. For it was the
very same pencil, with the name
of the insurance company
printed on it, that the very nice
young man had given her when
she signed the policy.

clipping that proves this case
completely. I tell you that be-
cause the story of Mrs. William
Jones is a strange one, and you
are liable to.be a trifle skeptical
about it.
But let me begin at the be-
ginning, which, in this case, isn't
a very happy one. We find the
head Of the Jones household en-
gagged in a very lively domestic
battle with his little wife. Mr..
Jones, to make this story slightly
different, was doing most Of the
talking. Because he felt that
he had a very real grievance.
The Facts of Case
The. facts were these, as we
attorneys are wont to say:
Mrs. Jones had succumbed to
the persuasions Of an insurance
salesman. No, not in the mo-
tion picture sense. I simply
mean that, unknown to her
husband, she had made the
first payment on a Sizable In
surance policy. And not a life
insurance policy, mind you.
No, this was an accident
policy. It stated, in complicated
lingo, that if Florence Jones
banged her knee or fractured
her skull, the company would
be only too happy to cover the
costs of her accident. Provided,
of course, that her weekly pay
ments arrived on the dot.
It was these weekly payments
that irked friend husband.
"I don't understand" he
stormed, with all the impor'
tant things we need money for
these days, don't see why you
had to take this blamed thing
out. Heaven knows, I have
enough bills to worry about
now! What made you do it? Can
you tell me that?"
The little lady sighed dream
lily.
"He was such a nice young
man." she replied. "And he was
so anxious for me to take the
policy for my own good. And
look, william; look what he left
after I signed it,"
She went to a drawer and
took out a small leather writing
pad and a pencil.
Look, William" she en-
Unused, "he gave me both of
these. Said they were a present
from the company"
William groaned again, and
gave up the argument for the
time being. But the argument
wasn't closed by any matter Of
means. And as time rolled by,
the insurance policy was Mr..
Jones' favorite topic.
Same Quarrel
Let an argument start at any
given point, it invariably wound
up with a few choice remarks
about Mrs. Jones' stupidity in
signing anything without first
consulting him, and the fact
that his finances were feeling
the strain of those weekly pay
ments. It grew to be almost a
mania with the man and every
time he started anew on the
subject, Mrs Jones sighed
heavily.
For she knew he was good for
at least an hour.

reader-and every time I write
