DATRICIA ELLIS, the youngest

DATRICIA ELLIS, the youngest play
er on the First National lot, has just
been assigned to play the leading feml-
nine role opposite Joe E. Brown In
Elmer the Great" the base ball pic
ture taken from the stage play by Ring
Lardner
This is the fifth picture in which
the l7-year- -old Miss Ellis has appeared.
After coming to Warner Bros. and
First National just few months ago
she was given small roles in Central
Park" and Three on a Match" Her
talent was so marked that George Arliss
chose her to play the ingenue role in his
latest picture, "The Kings Vacation" ;"
Miss Ellis was then given the leading
feminine role opposite James Cagney
in Picture Snatcher." Before finish
ing this she was assigned as leading
lady to Joe E, Brown.
Although comparatively new to the
screen, Miss Ellis has had wide stage
experience for one so young. The
daughter Of one New Yorks foremost
directors and producers of dramatic and
musical comedy productions, she has
been before the footlights since child.
Working with her father, she under
studied many leading ingenues. She
soon graduated into leading roles In
her own right.
It was while playing in "Tre Royal
Family" at the New York Rivera Thea
ter that she attracted the attention OF
First National executives, who persuaded
her to take screen test. Within two
weeks she was in Hollywood starting
her motion picture career. And 1t is
developing very nicely.

A Tribute to Kate

photographs and hearsay had proved
dependable.
II knew from her great appeal to the
hearts of the people that Kate Smith
must possess the cardinal, fundamental
qualities. Hers Is not sophistication,
nor wise-cracking, nor cultivation-hers
is the simplicity of the human race;
hers is a voice untutored, unself-con-
scious, utterly natural-she's never, so
understand, had a lesson in her life,
hates to study, and can't read note
OF music-but is endowed with a voice
expressing SO much of humanity that
it brings a response of thousands
throughout the world-not Just in Kan
sas, or Alaska, or New Jersey, but from
the world comes her fan mail Lonely
sailors at sea, mothers Of families, the
folks on the farm, they all write to
Kate Smith, and even the young people
preoccupied with their own affairs, ask
their parents when writing to Kate to
say Hello" for them.
Mind you, it's Kate. She was born
Katherine Elizabeth Smith. She is
known to the world as Kate Smith.
That in itself is an indication. Know
ing all this, was it so very difficult for
ME to have some sort Of an under
standing of what Kate Smith stands for
In the world today?"
But" Miss Hurst will tell you.
there was one thing for which I was
unprepared. had no idea I would find
Miss Smith to be such a personable
woman. When the picture was COM
pleted, I went to the projection room
to see 1t, and there for the first time
I laid eyes on Kate Smith. She has a
pretty mouth, flashing smile, good
features and deep-set eyes, with intel
ligence and the warmth Of human feel
ing in them. A large woman, she
moves with ease and grace, and her
dancing. can well be envied by many of
our most graceful sylphs."

Ingram S Discovery.

D EX INGRAM, discoverer of Rudolph
N Valentino, Alice Terry, Ramon No
varro, and other outstanding screen
stars, has added another to his list In
Rosita Garcia, who will be seen opposite
him in "Baroud," his spectacular North
African romance, which will be released
shortly.
Miss Garcia, for whom Ingram pre-
diets a brilliant future, brings talent,
youth and an exotic beauty to the
screen. Her role in "Baroud," Ingram
says, is one that calls forth an extraor-
dinary versatility, quite amazing in one
so young, and he is satisfied that Amer
ican critics will name her as the SEN
sation of 1888.
"Baroud," on which Ingram worked
for two years, is one of the most pre-
tentious productions he has ever un-
dertaken. 1t is his own story, drama
Of tribal warfare, based on his own long
experience in Morocco.
Ingram has played several small parts
bits in the studio vernaeular-in some
of his latter pictures for Metro-Gold-
wyn-Mayer; but, in 'Baroud," his first
production for Gaumont-British Picture
Corporation, Ltd, he essays the lead
ing role.
Much interest Is attached to "Ba-
roud," for it is Ingram's first talking
picture.

MIND RELIEF

NEW YORK, Feb. 2. U.P) = A
new unemployment relief agency,
this one not to provide food and
shelter to the destitute, but to pro-
vide them with moral encourage
ment and to eliminate melancholia
in their ranks, was being organized
today. John Erskine, writer and
president of the Juilliard School
of Music, is head of the agency,
which has 100000 contributed by
the Carnegie corporation, with
which to dispense moral and men,
tai aid.
Meanwhile, officials and relief
agencies contemplated a statement
of Professor Feliz Frankfurter of
Harvard university, prominently
mentioned as a candidate for office
under President-elect Roosevelt,
that only by leading the way toward
better times could the government
maintain the extraordinarily pa
tient temper" of the unemployed.
Professor Frankfurter demanded
a program of public works, larger
and more ambitious than any here
tofore seriously considered, in an
address before the annual meeting
of the survey associates yesterday.

SNOW VICTIMS

LOS ANGELES, Feb. g. U.P =
Rescue missions were battling win
ter elements in three sections of
Southern California, Arizona, and
Nevada today to bring succor to
several hundred inhabitants, trap
ped in their isolated homes by deep
SHOWS and threatened by pangs of
hunger.
Two forestry service tractors
ployed through six-foot drifts near
San Bernardino, Cal, to open a
road to Cedar Pines park where
200 winter residents were feared to
be confronted by food shortage.
The mountain settlement has been
isolated two weeks. Opening of the
road was expected to require an
other day.
An army bombing plane was
scheduled to leave Las Vegas, New,
today with rations for eight per-
sons snowbound at the Gold Range
mine. 100 miles north of Las We
gas. The marooned party includes
Louis Cramer, a geologist, and his
wife and baby. Their plight was
considered precarious.
Rangers and National Park en-
ployees, cutting through deep drifts
slowly approached the isolated Ha-
vasupai Indian reservation near
Grand Canyon, Ariz., where more
than 200 tribesmen and officials
were reported in urgent need of
food and supplies. Rescuers OPEN
ed a 20 mile path yesterday but
still had Is miles to go before ar
irving at HavaSu canyon where
they expected to meet party OF
tribesmen. The snowblocked trail
from that point led in a hazard
Gus 14-mile path down the canyon
walls, and across the Colorado river
to a small side canyon where the
reservation lies, a clump of huts,
which officials said afford poor
shelter from sub-freezing tempera-
lures.
The reservation has been cut off
from communication for a week.
