Sheriff Moore directed an in

Moore said.

'DisraeIi' Returns
ToMetropoIitan
Theater

"Disraeli" with the incompar-
able George ArliSs in the title role
returns to the Metropolitan The
alter, maintaining its established
place as one Of the finest pictures
ever filmed. A third viewing only
serves to recall again that this
memorable production is one Of
the classics Of the screen.
Never has George Arliss been
more superb as a finished actor
and versatile artist, than in obs
raeli." The story Of the great
Jewish statesman, prime minister
to Queen Victoria, is thrilling
drama in itself, which with Mr..

distinct contribution in the Gin

to enhance the exceptional
quality, while those who may
not have seen it, have indeed
been denied a rare privilege.

Of this last century provides a

Some years have passed since
first "Disraeli" was shown as a

are noticeably delighted with
each performance, which Is in

Many Subtefuges
Used to Crash
Studio Gate
BY RENE DAWES

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 15.-The
motion picture studio gate teens
with life. The city gate to ancient
Babylon was never more colorful,
and life to the studio gate keeper
is a glittering kaleidoscope, an
endless professional of cinema
queens, masculine screen idols
and extras in bizarre costumes.
And according to w. D. Long,
officer in charge Of the gate at
the RKO Studios, no ancient city
gate was ever Stormed by such
artifice and subterfuge as is used
by modern gate crashers. Of

car of Russia swinging along
arm-in-arm with a Bolshevist, but
gate crashers never fail to raise
his blood pressure.
One day an ice truck, making
its regular delivery, passed
through the gate. But Officer
Long noticed something behind
one Of the blocks of ice that
looked like a bundle of old cloths,
so he halted the truck and in

bundle metamorphosed into an

who had been wrapped up in a
dark cape and was attempting to
crash the gate.
It developed that the girl was
without funds and hungry. She
knew the extras had been called
that day for a banquet scene, and
she had hoped that she might
eat, even if she could not receive
an extras check. Players on the
lot raised a small purse for the
girl and the casting director put
her on for days work.
But Officer Long admits that
his eagle eye is not always so in
fallible. During the filming OF

Trio Of StarIets
Seen in Earle
Film Feature

Ginger Rogers makes her debut
as an actress instead Of her usual
comedy roles in Chance at
Heaven" which is the current at
traction at the Earle.
The film story is credited to
VIVA Delmar, but her accustomed
tlamboyant, outspoken style is
missing, and they've replaced it
with a very sugary tale Of the
Small-town boy who falls in love
with a society girl, finds out his
mistake and returns to the beauty
who has been waiting for him.
Chance at Heaven" is an abso-
lutely spotleSs picture. There is
nothing offending or suggestive in
it, which should, and does, recon-
mend it. But it also lacks Origi-
nality and suspense. And so in
the final reckoning, it is a harm.
less, innocent and trivial tale. en-
tertaining, but soon forgotten.
The action makes no great de-
mands on the members Of the
cast. Joel McCrea, as the male
around whom the plot revolves, is
satisfactory. Marian Nixon,
strangely enough, has the role of
a sophisticated debutante who
tries her hand at love in a cot
tage. Ginger Rogers, on the other
hand, Is the sweet homebody,
Tilted at first, but finally declared
the winner.
On the stage. the headliner
and worthy one. too, is James
Melton, who has risen high in
radio popularity since he sang

He is possessed of a beautifully
clear, true voice, a remarkable
ease Of delivery, and fine stage
presence. which made his offer

entertainment value.
