Marion Davies |.
Peg in Story
Of Romance

The swing of the motion pic
ture pendulum is back toward the
old-fashioned type of sweet 70
nance.
So believes Robert z. Leonard
who last directed Strange Inter
lude" and now is screening "Pee
O. My Heart" with Marion Davies
starring.
"Styles in film entertainment
change at the peak Of every
CYCLE" Leonard declares. "They
swing like pendulum from one
trend to another.
"The public brings about
these changes by its approval
or disapprOval at the box office
of current vOgueS in film enter
tainment. when a decline is
noted, producers at once begin
to look to see which way the
pendulum is swinging. The pOpu-
larity of sOphiSticatiOn brought
a modern type Of story to the
screen that marked new dar-
ing. But, like all other trends,
it lived its day.
''NOrma Shearer's 'Smilin'
Through started the pendulum
swinging back to the old
fashioned type Of sweet romance.
One reason why it is coming
back into style as film enter
tainment is because it is so
distinctly opposite to the ultra
sOphiSticatiOn that has gone be-
fore. Motion picture trends are
made up Of a series Of OppOsiteS
tragedy follows comedy;
adventure films are succeeded
by drawing-rOOm farceS, and so
on.
I'm Peg O. My Heart we
have all the essentials of
sweet romance Of popular
appeal. Peg is just the kind
Of part that Marion Davies
plays best. The little Irish
gamin is ideally suited to her
talents and piquant personality.
Today, more than ever before,
is this type Of play acceptable,
1 believe. People have had
"their fill Of sOPhistricry for the
time being. The trend is to-
ward the opposite, the Peg o.
My Heart plays to tug at their
heart strings instead of stirring
pulses"

Mae West Plays
Lion amer in
Her Next
By HARRISON CARROLL

HOLLYWOOD, March 3l.-Mo-
ton pictures are not going to
tame Mae West any more than
she can help.
SO declares Hollywood's newest
sensation, who lounged into Para
mount yesterday wearing a big
coat of summer ermine (that
canary shade OF the very early
pelD and carrying a brown bag
with golden clasps cut into her
initials.
Five years ago I don't know
how 1t would have been," says
Mae, but now 1 think the public
is educated up to my stuff.
Maybe 1 won't be able to get
away with some Of the hot love
scenes 1 used to give them on the
stage-no more than I was in
She Done Him Wrong when
they kept the men three feet
away from me.
But I'll have a lot of good
comedy lines and I guess I'll be
able to work in few Of my
tricks"
Mae admits she didn't expect
her film to go so we'll in the
cities where they didn't know her.
She wanted to do Sex" her
banner play, as her second film,
but the Hays office wouldn't
okay it. NV she'll make a
circus story in which she plays
lion tanner. If Paramount can
clear the title. it will be called
''The Beauty and the Beast"
And, as for Hollywood, Mae
thinks it is so swell that she has
signed a four-year contract with
Paramount.

wait about three months before
everything was final.
Meanwhile, although the hus-
band had been wise enough not
to contest the divorce he was
growing more and more desper-
ate as the time went by. He
knew now for q certainty that
Ethel Smith was the only girl he
had ever loved, and that she
was the only woman he would
ever love. He did everything in
his power to bring her back to
him-but it was no use. The
scene on the dock had been the
absolute end.
That was the story that Ethel
Smith unfolded to her friend
on the boat; her friend who ION
her sacred word of honor wasn't
going to repeat it to a SOUL"
Falls In Love Again
I'm ony a young woman"
she said, "but I've learned my
lesson. Love is the bunk-and
if you fall. you deserve to suf-
fer. I have very little pity for
my husband because he didn't
know when he was we'll off.
Or perhaps I should say my
ex-husband.
"I just don't love him-and
what is he going to do about
it?"
Know how these cases work
out in fiction? Well, that's
pretty nearly the way it worked
out in real life in this particu-
lar case. There was a Swiss
chap on board-young, hand
some, personable. He hadn't
been with the cruise since the
beginning; he had boarded the
boat at Athens. He had discov-
cred Ethel Smith. She had dis
covered him. And they played
deck tennis the next day. And
they dined in the grill. And
they danced beneath the stars.
Well, there aren't many more
'ands.' Ethel Smith, who knew
for a certainty that love is the
bunk, fell madly in love with
the boy. And the boy? Well,
you couldn't blame him very
much. The nights sometimes
grow very long on a cruise,
and Ethel Smith was very
pretty. So why not?
The answer to the why not"
came to pass a few weeks later.
Ethel Smith began to speak of
marriage as soon as she was
completely divorced-and the
boy began to speak of the situa-
ton in Peru in regard to the
Swiss national debt.
She grew more and more Seri-
Gus, and he grew more and
more frightened. So, eventually,
he took the easiest way out.
Just before the boat neared
Siam, he had himself sent a
cable that called him back to
Switzerland Immediately. He
didn't tell Ethel Smith about it,
but he did show it to a number
of people who would be certain
to tell Ethel Smith.

And so, when he arrived in

CONFER
. ON CANADA TREATY
Chicago Meeting Seeks Rati-
fication of st. Lawrence
Waterways Pact.
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. May 16.-Representative
Of 20 Midwest States met In executive
session today with officials of the
Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Tidewater
Association.
Their purpose repeatedly was to de-
wise ways Of obtaining ratification Of
the treaty with Canada for construc-
ton Of the st. Lawrence Seaway, which
would make 1t possible for ocean,
going ships to enter the Great Lakes.
The treaty was signed by Herbert
Hoover during the last year of his term
as President, but has not been ratified
by Congress
Leading the opposition to the treaty
were States interested in the Illinois
waterway from Lake Michigan to the
Gulf Of Mexico, to be dedicated May 27
Illinois particularly has opposed the
st. Lawrence treaty, on the grounds it
would place such restrictions on diver
sion Of water from Lake Michigan as
to make the Illinois waterway useless.
c. p. Craig, secretary Of the Tidewater
Association, was chairman Of the meet
ing and was expected to make the main
plea in behalf Of ratification of the
treaty.
THE association is convinced" he
said, that the benefits resulting to the
Midwest and the Nation as a whole
from completion Of the st. Lawrence
Seaway should be of first consideration.
Chicago and Illinois would derive
great benefits from facilities for ship
ping products direct to the sea. We are
convinced that aid to agriculture and
industry would overshadow any harm to
the Illinois waterway. and we also be-
lieve the treaty makes ample provision
for operation OF the lakes-to- the gulf
channel"
Sponsors Of the meeting surrounded
it with secrecy refusing even to make
public the names of Governors and
other representatives attending.
