HOLLYWOOD, Calf. May 27-The
new generation of the theater and Gin
ema is an interesting aristocracy that
differs radically in every way from the
famous that have gone before.
Not only have the moderns in the
theater a different point of view about
their work. but the face and the figure
of today has undergone an interesting
change
I, therefore, was prepared to find
Elizabeth Young. Paramount's newest
acquisition from the New York stage.
typical of the new group which has
given us Katharine Hepburn and an
entirely different camera type.
Elizabeth Young has accomplished a
great deal in an exceedingly brief time.
She must be more than the Is or IT
she looks. Born in New York, the
daughter of Judge william Young of
the Children's Court. she attended the
Veltin and st. Agatha's Schools and
was graduated from Miss Spence's. 1t
would follow with the average girl of
her group, that she would perhaps
evince a polite interest in music and
an avid interest in bridge, dancing and
night-clubbing. Nothing Of the kind
for Elizabeth Young. She evinced an
avid interest IN the theater-an inter-
est which took the form of setting out
to find herself a job when her parents
smiled indulgently at what they con-
sidered rather amusing childish whim.
The slender girl with wavy light
brown hair and the clean direct look of
child-a look, by the way, empha-
sized by the fact that she wears abso-
lutely no makeup whatSoever-found
herself a job working in a stock COM
pany. She made good in it and was
subsequently sent for by William Brady,

FAY WRAY is

OF GOOD FILM

Is Excellent.

Fay Wray has once more been re-
moved from the clutches of monstrosi-
ties by Columbia Pictures. and this
time so far and so successfully in Ann
Carver's Profession" in it's world pre-
mier showing at R-K-O Keiths, that
it seems unlikely she will ever again
live the horrific Nightmares which
brought her screen fame.
The Columbia executives. indeed.
merit lusty cheer for bringing about
the rescue of this talented actress, who
is capable of making light moments
more pleasing with her personality and
tense with only a slight pull on that
emotional power she has so plainly ex-
hibited throughout her career of COM
batting prehistoric animals.
Ann Carver's Profession" Gnci-
dentally, this is somewhat confusing
title) is light and an amusing comedy
tempered with a dramatic court room
scene in which Miss Wray plays Portia
and in which also she is little short of
spectacular. The film gives Gene Ray
mond and Miss Wray ample oppor-
tunity in its lighter vein to create a
very likable and personable young
married couple in which, no doubt, you
will find yourself very much interested

plications. Some of these scenes are
slightly exaggerated, but are held to-
gether by Miss Wray's acting.
The story itself is of little conse-
quence in contrast with the ability Of
these two. and it revolves around the
problem that confronts husband when
his wife has won fame as a lawyer
while his has been a rather SLOW moving
career in an architects Office. The film
reverses the old order of lawyer -hus-
band defending wife in court and places
the role of a modern Portia in the
hands of Miss Wray. In this reversal
creeps the improbable moments, but
the artistry of Gene Raymond and Miss
Wray keep them we'll in check.
The blond Mr.. Raymond last seen in
the photographically beautiful ZOO in
Budapest" makes a role which might
easily have slipped into one of pitiable
character stand out as one of strength.
From its lightness to those emo
tional moments in which Miss Wray is
so captivating, Ann Carver's Profess
sion' Is splendid entertainment and
places both Gene Raymond and Fay
Wray in a starring spotlight.

4 NEW TWIST
TO AIR STORY
At THE EARLE
Fredric March Is
Star of Thrilling
Var Adventure.

The unusual success of the film ver-
sion Of "All Quiet on the Western
Front" caused the movie producers to
grind out so many limitations that
nearly everybody has grown tired of
war pictures. This is particularly true
Of aviation cinemas, which had some
thing Of vogue even before the "All
Quiet" era. Despite the fact that it
IS q combination war and aviation
film. however, 1.-THE Eagle and the
Hawk" the current attraction at the
Earle, is well worth seeing, because Of
the excellent acting of that up and
coming young star, Fredric March, if
for no other reason.
Aside from the fact that March's
performance is one of the finest of the
year. the thing that goes farthest to-
ward putting "The Eagle and the
originality Of its plot. The John Monk
Saunders story from which the pic
ture was adapted. is for the most
part unlike any other aviation war tale
you've ever read. And as result
the cinema adapted by Bogart Rogers
and Seton l. Miller is entirely different
from any of the thousand and one
other films of the same general type
that have come out of Hollywood dur
ing the past several years.
THE Eagle and the Hawk" has nei-
ther heroine nor love interest. The
only feminine role of the slightest i'm
portance is played by Carole Lombard,
and her appearance is as brief as a
walk around the block.
March appears as a young American
adventurer who enlists in the British
air service at the beginning of the
World War because he thinks he will
get "a lot of sport" out of fighting. He
soon learns, however, that war has
nothing in common with polo and the
other sports to which he had likened
it-that it Is, on the contrary. nothing
but brutal business in which he has
been hired to kill as many other men
as possible.
All this, Of course. has been told be-
fore on the screen. but there is an I'M
usual twist to The Eagle and the
Hawk which enables the film to point
its moral with measure of force sell
dom attained, either in celluloid or on
paper. What that twist is. and how
March's superb acting makes it the
compelling thing that it is had best

nor IS lovelier in it than she has prob
ably been since Seventh Heaven; al
though she has found new leading
man, Henry Carat. who is just the sort
of a person to play opposite her; al
though the music is excellent and Mr..
Carat fine as he sings it-there is such
an abundance of good old whinlsy that
after the first half hour you are likely
to want something a little more sub
stantial-which you don't get.
We may be wrong. A tall, strong sen
of foot ball, fresh from one of the
Southland's better teams, has confessed
that he thought il one of the most de-
lightful films he had ever seen. Going
into rhapsodies over it, this two-f1sted
gridiron gentleman said that he never
had been better entertained, never
found q fairer creature than Miss Gay
nor, never had sighed so and given
himself over to the sheer pleasure OF
sweet sentiment. Lolling back in his

TWO casual homicides which create
L part of the human embroidery OF
that notable piece of fiction about "The
Story of Temple Drake" are mere incl
dents of the book play. as Miriam Hop
kins creates the character OF the
woman. 1t is shown on the screen at
the Metropolitan Theater, and one OF
Washington's favorites touches the
heights of dramatic force with her
masterful creative art. She goes be-
yond that characteristic Of the films
through which the director and the
cameraman have. in some other pro-
ductions, been able to impress an
incident with actors who are only pas
siye or gracefully posing. Miss Hopkins,
like the actors who have ornamented
the stage. becomes the character to
which she has been assigned. 1t Is
an abnormal personality, and doubly
mysterious because the woman under
stands her own defects and is inf1u-
enced by that knowledge. Miss Hopkins
never fails to give that impression.
She has the feminine counterpart OF
one of Stevenson's most famous figures
of fiction. yet less grossly theatrical and
more likely to return to rational lie
after the punishment that has been
inflicted by the distress OF a terrible
experience.
Miss Hopkins has a natural capacity
for display of the qualities of a person
of refinement, an emotional equipment
which permeates every form OF eX-
preston, a mobility of countenance
which impresses the psychologist. an
alertness which means that every de-
cision is quickly translated into motion
and an understanding of the fear OF
popular disapproval which colors her
oIieter moments. She is aided by an
unusually intelligent company, among
whom Jack La Rue is conspicuous for
his fine representation of the COM
plete self-assurance and relentless
cruelty of leader Of crime. 1t Is the
La Rue person who takes the featured
member of the company from her home
of distinction to life among outcasts.
william Gargan, as the young lawyer
who is devoted to Temple Drake and
leads her back to normal after she has
rejected him because of realization OF
her own weakness, does fine piece OF
work, and is especially impressive IN
his attempt to examine her in the
court scene. Others who are excellent
are William Collier, jr.; Irving Plchel,
Sir Guy Standing. Oscar APPEL. Eliza
beth Patterson, Florence Eldridge and
James Eagles, while dozen are well
chosen for minor parts. 1t is play
which appeals to those who admire
pure drama as well as to those who
appreciate action.
In addition to the news reel and
Looney Tunes, Mitzi Mayfair and Hal
LIE Roy offer on the screen preten-
tious and graceful series of dances, with
scenes at a girls school.

who gave her the ingenue role In Sat
urday Night"
1t was her exciting performance, IN
tense and tragic, as the daughter in
The Firebird" which won her a Hol-
lywood contract. The studio feels that
in her they have found valuable ad
dition to the modern group in the the
ater and in cinema. She goes into a
picture titled Big Business Executive"
as starter. She is 5 feet S inches,
although she Is so slender that at a
casual glance you'd think she was taller.
Her weight is ITO pounds weight
favored by the cinema. Her eyes are
blue and her hair a light brown and
OF the same texture as Greta Carlos
She rides and Swims and speaks Ital-
ian and French fiuently. Her one sea-
son as a New York debutante has given
her sufficient social background for her
needs-and it soon gave her a clear
idea that she wanted more out of life
than round of parties.
She's enthusiastic about everything
She can't wait to go to work She's
naive and poised-gracious and eager
all at once. She found the Beverly
Hills Brown Derby most amusing spot
and wanted to know who all the famous
were: but when a camera man for q
fan magazine turned the tables by ask
ing to photograph the famous Miss
Elizabeth Young, she took that as q
matter of course, too.
Proving that you can't compare this
generation with anything that has gone
before in the theater because it is a
type hitherto unknown to footlights,
and type that, because of these
things, and because OF its clear deter
mination to get where it sets out to go,
Is bound TO succeed.

JUNIOR CHOIR GIVES
INTERESTING CONCERT
Pupils of Esther Linkins in Splen-

Methodist Church.
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

The children Of the Foundry Junior
Choir, under the direction of Esther
Linkins, gave program of concert Sc
lectionS last evening at the Foundry
Methodist Church This group of the
Junior choir was formed last Fall and
has had weekly rehearsals throughout
the Winter. Considering the shortness
OF time and the many setbacks that at
tend children's training. the perform
ance last evening was remarkably well
done.
Miss Linkins directs carefully, with
enthusiasm, and she shows a positive
knowledge Of the capabilities of chill
drens voices In the type of numbers
she selected to form the program The
children are permitted to sing without
forcing. and their tone quality Is kept
sweet and pure. They are exact as to
time, good as to intonation and the
two-part harmony, with which they
sang several numbers, was easily sus-
tanned
Az effective junior hymn, by Mrs.
Crosby Adams. opened the program,
which included more ambitious numbers,
such as For He Shall Give His Angels
Charge" by Protheroe; GLORIOUS Things
Of Thee Are Spoken" by Haydn, and
Worship" by Shaw. A secular song.
r. Hinman. set to music by Flora M.
Linkins, both of whom were in the au-
dience, was well adapted to the sweet
character of the children's singing. and
was received with applause
The choir was assisted by Marguerite

and Margaret Yanagita. pianists and
Philip Capell Wright, cellist. Miss Pope
sang the solo 20 Saviour. Hear Me"
Gluck-Buck. accompanied by Karl Holer
at the piano, as well as the solo parts
OF II Steal Away to Thee" by Danks,
and the descant of Haydn's Glorious
Things Of Thee Are Spoken" Mr.
Wright demonstrated a good cello tone
in the three numbers, Gounod's Ave
Maria" Frey'ss" Longing for Thee" and
the second movement Of the Fourth
Concerto in G." by Golterman.
In Chopin's "Nocturne" in E fiat and
Waltz" in fiat. HARLAN Meyer gave
every evidence of an unusual pianistic
talent. Her playing was not only clean
cut technically. but emotionally under
standing. with a maturity of conception
far beyond her actual years. A like
talent that promises future of real
artistic value was displayed by Miss
Yanagita. whose playing of Men,
delssohns "Rondo Capriccioso" and
Poldini's "Marche Mignonne" showed
an advanced and well-grounded technic
and fine rounded quality of tone. The
two young girls were enthusiastically
applauded after their fine performances.
Karl Holer. who Is official accompanist
of the junior choir, adjusted his playing
carefully to the requirements of the
choir in way to give them all support
and musical background.

COMEDY PAIR
IN MAGNIFIED
SCREEN SHOW
Laurel and Hardy
in Setting of
Music at Fox.

INSTEAD OF resorting to the classics
l. in their climb up the ladder OF
cinema fame, two well-recognized cam
paigners along the comic front have
added new and choice fabrics to their
material equipment, summoned the
muse of music, and given their undi-
vided attention to the creation OF hu-
NOR on more elaborate scale. Stan
Laurel and Oliver Hardy are, respec-
lively, Just as slim and as fat as they
were in their days of modest achieve
ment, but as the feature film perform
ers at the Fox Theater this week in
1.-The DEVILS Brother" their output takes
on new importance. Their maneuvers
are placed under magnifylng glass,
their deeds are made more impressive
bye a screenful of other film people,
some of whom are engaged in working
out a romantic tale, and they have the
valuable assistance of Dennis King,
famed as one of the most melodious
of singers, with a chorus which Is nota-
bic for its ensemble effects.
There are several reasons why the
film should be popular. Comedy teams
are rare in the motion picture world.
The public is prepared to speed any
of that class on their misunderstanding
way. Laurel and Hardy have an estab-
lished place, and every little trick Is
viewed with affection. Their monu-
mental modesty and nervous grinS are
among the traditions. They usually
suffer the worst fate among all in their
sphere, the only exception to this rule
being in the current production, when
they are let loose in patr1clan wine
cellar. Their mistakes are choice prod
ucts of simple mentality. and their
pantomime is ever diverting. Recogni-
ton is accorded them in the present
film, upon their first appearance, even
at a distance, as the familiar forms
approach on a horse and donkey.
> Their magnified comedy is enhanced by
the excellent music and the artistic
settings.
The two actors become vagabonds
with funds saved in years of labor:
they are robbed by bandit gang led
by a notorious but polished criminal
who poses as the Marquis de San Marco,
and they join the bandit gang in the
course of a love affair, which involves
an attempt to rob an ancient family
In this romantic adjunct Dennis King
and Thelma Todd furnish the chief in
terest, with the singer as an outstand-
ing figure in the play Other MEM
bers of the cast are James Finlayson,
Lucille Brown, Arthur Pierson, Henry
Arnetta, Matt McHugh, Lane Chand-
Ter, Nena Ouartero, Wilfred Lucas,
James C. Morton and Carl Harbaugh.
The stage program at the Fox is
headed by Herb Williams, famous come
dian, aided by Doris Ewing, Basil
Whitefield and Stanley Van Sax. In
stirring piece of nonsense which is sat
urated with originality. Others billed

veloped dancing feats; Aunt Jemima
