STRAND


 Mae West heads the program the strand today, tomorrow ar# Wednesday in "Pm No Angel"
 Mae sings seven 'scorch songs dances the midway, as a remar able dance in which she nov everything except her feet; pu her head in a lions mouth: uttei a succession of breezy wisecracl which probably will be heard ev erywhere, as was "Come up an see me sometime''-until anotheA West picture brings us some nor Westicisms.
 'T'm No Angep' Is a superior pics ture to "She Done Him Wrong because 1t was written directly for the film by Miss West. dt takes her on a magnificent journey from dancer in a cheap carnival show to national fame as the gorgeous Tira, Million Dollar Beauty, courted by society men.
 Since Miss west has set the win- ter fashion mode, 1t should be duly chronicled here that in 'sI'm No An- geI'' she does not wear the extreme gown of yesteryear, as she did SO charmingly in her previous picture. She appears in sfnartly modish clothes of the day-that is, when she is not making a handsome ap- pearance in sill1en tights-and she Always presents a luscious, eye-fiil- ing picture.
 Her supporting cast is well chosen. Cary Grant, who was her "tall, dark and handsome" in "She Done Him Wrong" plays a similar lrole in the new attraction, and gives
 his customary good performances. Kent Taylor plays a second lead. Edward Arnold and Ralf Harolde have menace roles. Gertrude Mich- ael is Macs love rival. Dorothy Peterson, Russell Hopton, William l B. Davidson. Irving Pichel and Walter Walker round out the cast. The companion feature presents Richard Dix in "Ace of Aces" with | Elizabeth Allan and Ralph Bell- amy in the strong supporting cast: Wednesday evening the Strand will: l offer an added attraction on the stage with the presentation of the A. B. c. Minstrels who will offer their latest hit revue. They have had many requests to repeat their show and this engagement Wednes- day evening will enable those who did not see it the first time, to do so, and also enjoy the Strands great screen program.

INTIMATE GLIMPSES- AND INSIDE STUFF ON THE
 MOVIE COLONY
1Y DAN THOMAS
BY DAN THOMAS

BY DAN THOMAS (NEA Service Stan Correspondent Hollywood Beauty without brains is a minus quantity as far as either screen or stage is con- cerned.
 And therein lies a story, story of the hundreds of beauty contest l winners who have been invading Hollywood since 1915. Therein also
 lies the basis for new chapter to be added to that story by 30 young
 contest winners now playing in
 ''The Search for Beauty Just what will happen to these IS girls and 15 men who won cov- cted screen chances as a result of Paramount's world wide contest? All of them possess youth and
 beatty.
 Brains alone will sdetermine
 which are to stay and which will
 be forgotten as soon as this picture
 is completed.
 If the records from previous years are to be considered, very ] few of these contest winners will be heard of in the future. It would | be difficult to say how many hun- dreds of contest winners have in- vaded Hollywood in the past. Most of them soon became dis couraged and returned home. Some still are here, living precarious lives as extras or working at any kind of jobs they could get. Only scant handful have made any marks for themselves on the screen. Lois Wilson Was First Lois Wilson was the first of the contest winners to make the grade in pictures. Hollywood was all agog when the special train pulled into the station here, bringing 30 beauty winners to the Universal studio in 1915.
 But, of the entire. crowd, only Miss Wilson made good. And she
 had brains, having been a school teacher in Alabama prior to enter ing the contest.
 Following the success of Lois, contests became the rage. However, few were able to stay here, among | those few being Corinne Griffith, Clara Bow, Mary Brian, Gertrude | Olmstead, Barbara Kent, and Dor-
 othy Jordan.
 More to It Than Looks | To-day we search for beauty | from a widely different viewpoint, :" declares Erie c. Kenton, who is | directing "The Search for Beauty"
 "There is no use in going to all lthe expense of bringing contest
 winners here without first making
 a sincere effort to determine if the
 winners possess the essential screen qualifications: namely, personality, intelligence, and some talent.
 Director Is Surprised

 "Imagine my surprise when a group of real screen prospects walked on the set the first day. Every one of them looked as though he or she just had stepped out of college class, which many of them had.
 And now that I have been working with them for several weeks, don't mind saying that they have given me far less trouble than some experienced players whom I have encountered.

Did you ever try to scrape up

interrupting him. She may be
jealous, Dick, but the fact remains
that she is important to the show

RAINEY GIVEN BACKING
IN SPEAKERSHIP RACE
More Apt to Work for Roosevelt
Power Program, Says League.

BIZ ScrippS-HoUdrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON. Jan. 20.-As
Speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives, Henry T. Rainey Dem,
Ill), is more apt to work in behalf
of President-E Elect Roosevelt's power
program than any other man in the
Speakership race, data made pub
lie by the National Popular Govern
ment League today indicates.
The league made a survey of
votes and speeches on the power
issue of Rainey Joseph w. Byrns
(Tenn), John McDufie (Ala), John
E. Rankin (Miss0, and John j.
O'Connor IN. ", during the time
each has been in the house.
Concerning Rainey the league
summarizes:
Out of fourteen important roll
calls on the water power issue since
1908, when the fight began, Rainey
has voted twelve times in the public
interest, once for a private interest
(the Ford offer on Muscle Shoals
and did not vote upon one-the
power bill of 1918. Aside from the
Ford matter he has consistently
voted for public ownership and
operation of Boulder Dam and
Muscle Shoals and was a pioneer
in the fight for regulation"

CHAPTER. SIXTEEN

TINE second important happen
a ing of the day came only two
hours later When Dick Stanley
put down the telephone after talk
ing to Sheila, he walked rapidly
across the living room, lighted a
cigaret, tossed it aside within five
minutes. Then he sank impatiently
into chair and called Trevor
Lanes number.
IT'S bad break all right" Trevor
replied when Dick had told him how
Shella had left the new show. 1T
doesn't mean that she wasn't a sue
cess, though That little Tillie Lee
who has the part now can't compare
with Sheila.
"but Marion Randolph is bound
to have her own way! Two pearly
tears from those blue eyes and she
practically could put Mandrake
himself Out!"
Dick interrupted to say precisely
what he thought of that producer.
There's no use taking it that
way Trevor assured him. And if
you want to help Sheila, you won't
even mention this to Mandrake. You
say they're both coming to tea?
Well, suppose 1 drift in on the
party?"
He did just that.
Nothing was said about Sheila's
departure from the cast of when
Lights Are Low" Sheila drank
her tea, looking wide-eyed and
serious, smiled and answered des-
ultory questions. She even sang
a little when Trevor asked her to
sing.
While she and Dick at the far
end of the room were hunting
through sheets of music for the
song they wanted, Trevor talked to
Mandrake.
Sheila was never to learn Just
what was said in that conversation
but next morning she was again in
rehearsal. The part was in the road
show company of a Broadway hit.
4 This time the contract was
signed. Sheila's flat little purse
contained the precious document
when she met Dick after the re-
hearsal.
And that's that!' he said, fold
ing the document after he had
read it and handing it back to
her. Lets celebrate!"
There was another rehearsal at 7
which would end an hour later
since most of the cast was playing
IN another show about to close.
Until 7 Dick and Sheila drove
~ She had a new Job. He had
been hard at work on his play and
only the night before had reached
the turning point when every part
of his drama seemed to dovetail.
Were going to have a lot OF
fun this year together" he said
His eyes, straight ahead on the
pavement. turned for an instant
to meet hers.
But I won't be here! 7 thought
you knew, Dick. It's the roac
company I'm going in!'
The road company" His face
was blank. But. good Lord Sheila
you can't take it, then The roac
company! Why, that means travel
ing"
"Of course it does" Sheila put in
And I love it,"
He turned toward her a face sc
filled with diSmay that her owr
expression softened Her hand crept
out on the wheel to pat bis own.
But, Sheila, you can't" he in
sisted. "Oh, please-I want you
herel"
I've been here all the time
Dick" she replied uncertainty.
1t was so exactly like a man tc
suddenly discover that girl was
indispensable just when she was
leaving.
Il know you have, honey. But
somehow 1 didn't know how much
you mean to me until now"
They had driven far up the
drive and were nearing Inspiration
Point. 1t was barely $50.

A deep valley lay below him. Through its
center, dense vegetation marked the course of
