You've seen Mr.. Williams hundred
times in vaudeville. For something
like 80 years he has performed that
act which still is one of the funniest
on the market. Only few months
ago audiences at a local cinema house
were rolling in the aisles over his
gags and gadgets probably not aware
that some of their grandSires may have
done the same over the identical ma
terial. He has kept to the straight
and narrow of this performance for
so long that when interviewed not so
long ago he indicated that he would
continue thus until his curtain came
down for the last time.
The fact that Mr.. Gordon was able
TO wheedle him from this popular
pleasure is a further tribute to his
skill. Nor should we forget that at
the same time he has converted

DeMille. But, for that matter, his
tory does no more. Take the most
famous of the Queens of Egypt, Cleo
patra. About all that is positively
known of her is that she was born,
had two love affairs, and died by her
own hand. We know the dates and
a handful of names and hardly much
else"
But that little has been enough TO
set her up for all time as the symbol
of regal wantonness and tragedy and
Inflated passion. No woman in his

mo one can be quite sure of that"
says DeMille, who has looked into
this subject, as much through curl
osity as to get material for his latest
Paramount picture, Cleopatra"
"A lot of homage has been paid to
her brilliance. No doubt 1t was de-
served. She really made very few
mistakes. Her diplomacy was clever
in the extreme, even when she was
very young, and no more than a hoy
deniSh fiapper. Who were her ad-
viserS?
All famous rulers in history had
advisers. Caesar had. So did Ma
poleon, who saved himself twice by
listening to wise counsel. Elizabeth
had Essex. Catherine of Russia had
Orlof. And it is probable that Cleo
patra wouldn't have lasted long with
out Appolodorus whispering into her
ear at'this juncture."
DeMille thinks that Appolodorus
deserves break. and gives it to him
in the screen play, where he is en-
acted by Irving Pichel.

known in his day. He wrote a gram

Mr.. Baily said: "She is the only
star I have ever known who didn't
change from the time she came into
our studio to the time until she left,
and Just before she left she was the
most expensive screen player in the

Since we have never been cham
pion of Miss Bow as far as her screen
work is concerned, this somehow does
us good. Too many of the stars when
they get their thousands grow from
docile little ingenueS into fighting gals
with violent tempers who fly into a
rage when they are asked to pose for
a picture Miss Bow, it seems, was
willing worker at any given moment
and endeared herself so to Paramount
people that she is not likely to be
forgotten.
And if you want to know what has
become of Miss Bow all we can tell
you is that she is leading a very con-
tented life as Mrs. Rex Bell and that

While contemplating such pleasant

tude toward them the nice cenSors

improperly in the drama. Will they
decide that the lessons taught so per-
suasively by Messrs. Nugent and Van

be edited for the benefit of the young

THE talented spewacks, Bella and

happier solution of the eternal prob
lem in their ghetto tragedy entitled

Larimore is a trampled though a

The play has little besides its sincerity
and its veracity to commend it to the
average showgoer. In Miss Larrimores
hostile and uncompromising imper-
sonation of an irritating East Side
brat there may be seen the reasons
why she was not SO sinful as her sister

Shirley Temple Star
In Bright Eyes Film

Shirley Temple, most sensational
screen discovery Of the year, at last
has the perfect screen vehicle, >
That. at any rate, Is the gist OF the
enthusiastic advance accounts which
precede Fox Films Bright Eyes to
the Paramount Theatre, where it will
begin an engagement on Friday.
Hollywood ami New York have pre-
viewed this newest Of Shirley's films
and have voted it a story ideally
suited to the extraordinary talents Of
this child star. It was written cspe-
clally for her and is described as a
remarkably human and heart-warm-
ing narrative.
The dramatic story OF Bright
Eyes was suggested to David But
Ter, director, by q real-life incident
occurring at a commercial airport
near Los Angeles. He told it to So.
NJ. Wurtzel, Fox Film producer, who
at once grew enthusiastic about the
IDEA as a vehicle for the remarkable
child star. Butler and Edwin Burke.
famous screen writer. elaborated on
the story, which was then ADAPTED
to the screen by william Conselman.
Butler himself has directed Bright
Eyes" and, according to advance re-
ports, has done one of the most not
able jobs Of his career. Bright Eyes
is said to be an entirely new type Of
vehicle for Shirley. Its action takes
place at large commercial airport
and in . wealthy Pasadena home
nearby, at the Christmas season.
