Andrew. X. Kelley t b o. i d
exhibited on the Fox stage about
a month ago showed just how
group of ham actors and
singers could murder a produc-
ton that once bore the proud
label of Ziegfeld and all that
it implied in the musical comedy
realm.
This fourth rate version of
~Whoopee" served a useful pur-
pose if it ended the idea of cut
ting down these high class
musicals to fit the motion picture
stages. Not one Of these abbrevi-
ated editions deserved to survive.
AS I look back on the tabloids
"Rio Rita" Desert Song" Folio
Thru" etc. the one bright mem
ory is of the hard working Joe
Penner, the only real comedian in
a carload of would-be funny men.
The stories of all suffered in the
cutting process, the singing COM
panies we're inferior and the
poor, tired chor1nes danced as if
they were weary of hopping and
skipping four times a day with
all the costume changes.
Another glaring fault, difficult
to overcome, is that audiences be-
come restless and hard to please
when you ask them to sit from
rs to 80 minutes without an in
termission or break. So I hope
the Messrs. Loew, Inc, have given
us the last of these chopped down
classics.
To return to the screen "Whoo-
pee" It's in color, has some
gorgeous scenes and beautiful girls
as we'll as a good farce story. 1t
will be shown very soon at the
Columbia, where it was exhibited
when first released.
"Sunnyside Up" was one of the
most popular as we'll as the
most profitable of the Gaynor-
Farrell confections. It shows
Hollywood's reigning Cinderella
queen at the heighth of her glory
and the amiable Mr.. Farrell as
her sweetheart. Also it has that
famous dancing number Turn
On the Heat" "SunnySide Up"
will show at the Fox where the
box office records show it ran
up one of those sensational
$4,000 weeks when originally
offered.

- SCREEN AND STAGE
Mary PicAord May Produce Films
for United Artists
BY HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright. 1888, King Features
Syndicate, InC.)

HOLLYWOOD, June 30.-A few
days ago Mary Pickford startled
Hollywood by announcing that
she plans to write play for
Grace Moore. Now, the hot tip
comes to me that she intends to
step temporarily out of the role
of star and to become producer
of a picture called War Horse"
The story, and you'll agree it is
an unusual one, centerS around
the comradeship of a Cavalryman
and his favorite campaign horse.
Mary, as 1 get it, is trying her
best to borrow Gary Cooper from
Paramount for the part of the
soldier.
She also is enlisting Frances
Marion, one of Hollywood's rank
ing writers, to work on the screen
play and is considering George
Hill as the director.
In all likelihood, business mat
ters in connection with the deal
will take Mary East again in
about two weeks. She plans to
call the picture a Mary Pickford
production and to release it
through United Artists.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20. = The mere fact that Paul Horgan of Roswell N M, has won some thousands of dollars with his first published novel, The Fault of Angels" doubtless would give it a send off" MT Horgan thus is automatically admitted to the company of Margaret Wilson, Anne Parrish, Glenway Westcott, Julian Green and Robert Reynolds. all of whom have won the same prize in years past.
 But MT. Horgan's book deserves attention on his own. The artistic life as it manifests itself in a small city is his subject, and it has not been dcne before quite as he does it. The reader is made, tenn porarily, citizen of the small and slightly mad world within a world, and it is a pleasant experience.
 The small city is Dorchester. The inner world is that of mu- sic school, with which is com bined an operatic theatre and a symphony orchestra, all the gift of an industrial magnate whom MT. Horgan calls 'Gunson." Those who follow music in America may recognize the source of the new novelist's inspiration. and those

SPARKLING AND MODERN IS THE
 CAPITOL FILM
No More Orchids" Gives Beautiful Carole Lombard
 'Daugher of Rich Role

|, Carole Lombard carves herself a niche alongside those of Kay Fran cis, Ruth Chatterton and Joan Crawford, in one of the finest dramatic roles of her career in No More Orchids" which Co., lumbia presents tonight at the Capitol Theatre.
 Cast as the attractive young heiress, Anne Holt, Carole delays the sailing of an ocean liner from France for two hours because she takes fancy to bit of late hour drinking in Paris. She also gets herself engaged to a Prince Carlos because her grandfather, a slightly stern and slightly vain gentleman, thinks that royalty would be good for the family. Besides he sends her every month a handsome slice of his huge fortune just for oc- casional purse-change.
 Then she bumps into the at tractive Lyle Talbot, a young not too affluent lawyer who has a great disrespect for idle daughters of wealth. He considers her not worth the ground she walks upon, which is a very novel opinion in her petted and spoiled life. The attitude intrigues her; the intrigu- ing gets her; she falls in love, thereby setting Cupid into competi- ton to royalty.
 Anne finally is able to convince Talbot that her emotion for him is the first sincere thing she has experienced in life, and VOWS to throw over the Prince and have "No More Orchids" in her life if he will marry her. Meantime her fathers bank falls feadlong in the market crash; her royalty-minded grandfather has the money to pre- vent family scandal, but he refuses unless she marries the Prince. How Anne and her family work their way out of that complication is one of the most unexpected turns imag- inable.
 Walter Connolly, Louise Closer Hale and Lyle Talbot, each in his way, makes this Columbia picture thing of rare and fine pleasure. No More Orchids" has the warmth that fine players and excellent di- rection always contribute, so that the celluloid becomes real and vit- ally important to the audience.
 Walter Lang directed the pie ture, adapted from the novel by Grace Perkins and Keene Thomp- son. Gertrude Purcell wrote the screen play.
