Hollywood.-Hav you favor. ite film star? If so, why? Why is he or she your favorite? Is il because of appearance, or because of his or her actions?
 For years Hollywood producers have sought beauty, handsomeness and the so-called sex appeal in their players, both masculine and feminine. Now, as result of a canvass made of Southern Cali fornia theater audiences, they are wondering if they have been on the right track. Strangely enough, few persons pick their favorites be- cause they happen to be good look ing or have quantities of sex ap- peal.
 According to answers received from these audiences, players are remembered mostly for peculiar mannerisms or slight distinctions in appearance.
 COOPER'S SPEECH
 The qualities which have made Gary Cooper favorite are his lean height and his soft speech. Mar lene Dietrich's husky voice is the one quality above all others which has attracted followers to her camp. She's beautiful and good actress but she would <have been just one of the crowd in silent films because of the absence of her dis tfnctiye voice,

Whenever Richard Barthelmess is discussed, his eyes always are the chief topic of conversation. Ac- cording to those who pick him as their favorite, he can do more with his eyes than any other person on the screen.
 Maurice Chevalier has a peculiar manner of walking and of using his hnads that apparently means more to theater audiences than his highly touted singing.
 Charles Laughton excels all others when it comes to assuming an air of boredom. He can be the most bored person in existence. which apparently appeals to a number of persons. Stuart Erwin, on the other hand, is best liked for his ability to look dumb. Fans like him because they feel sorry for anyone who even looks as dumb as Erwin does on the screen.

 James Cagney gained his large following because he was rough on women. And Clark Gable got his because of the way he dominated girls. No screen hero ever was rougher on the fair sex than Gag ney and none ever dominated them more than Gable.

He is rescued finally, the family for tunes return to their pre-war con- dition, and everything is lovely, with Sari Maritza and Kent Taylor on the receiving end of the TO- mantle interest.

aThs Death Kiss"
 Thrills al Garden

How good a detective are YOU :! "The Death Kiss" the murder mystery now on the screen at the New Garden theater will test all your powers of deduction and the, like practically everyone else who has seen the picture, you will ma out that you have probably buiit up a case against the wrong per- son. In the picture suspicion points towards a beautiful and charming actress. a discharged studio em- ploye, a producer and any number of Jealous sweethearts as the pos- sibie murderer of the handsome leading man, but the final expose is leaving audiences breathless. .The Death Kiss" provides several novel angles, unusual even Tn mystery stories. It's action is con- fined to the ''lot' at the Tonart studios in Hollywood, and its char acters are all motion picture play CTS, studio executives and studio employees. Intimate details of &C., tual motion picture production figure largely in the story, and pie ture "fans" will enjoy the real low down on movie making. as well as the story which practically defies solution. In the cast of ''The Death Kiss'' are David Manners, Adrienne Ames, Bella Lugosi. John Wray and many other important film actors.
 The companion picture is Beau ty Parlor'' with Barbara Kent, Joyce Compton, John Warren, and Dorothy Revier. The comedy fea- ture is .Iron Minnie's Revenge" Also on the bill are several good short subjects.
 The special added attraction Thursday night is Auction Circus with some very timely articles that can be purchased at your own price and you may be lucky, and get the entire receipts of the sale. Two outstanding pictures for Fri day and Saturday are ''The Key hole" with Kay Francis and George Brent and the sensational Paramount picture Murder in the Zoo."
