Mute Messenger
 In any place but Hollywood this story might be doubted. It isn't here. because we all know so well that anything can happen.
 Working as an extra in Now and Forever" is a Swedish girl, Elizabeth Le Greta. Back in 1917 she fled from Russia with a nobleman. They were married in Paris and spent several years touring Europe. Miss Le Greta continuing her career as an ac- tress.
 Then they came to America. A couple of years ago, the nobleman returned to his native land under an assumed name to visit a brother and a sister. He told his wife that if anything happened to him, a certain ring would be sent to her.
 A few weeks ago she received the ring, a crest in black onyx mounted in old silver. That ring now reposes just above her slim gold wedding band, silently tell ing a tragic story.

"Hand Double"
 She's not a raving beauty and she believes she never will be a screen star. But Orah Cormack knows that she always can earn a good living working in front of the movie cameras. Most of the time, however, her hands are the only part of her photographed.
 Miss Cormack is said to have the loveliest hands in Hollywood-at least they areso near perfect that the RKO studio has insured them for 00,000-and for that reason she gets considerable work as a "hand double" for many feminine stars.
 Her hands were used for those of Katharine Hepburn in 'Christo- pher Strong" Again in If I Were Free" it was her hand that was photographed when Irene Dunne was supposed to be admiring a wedding ring on her finger. In '"The Right to Romance" there was a scene calling for Ann Hard ing to knock on a door, but 1t was Miss Cormack who did the knock ing,

Getting a Head Start

Getting Head Start
 Answering the thousands who want to know how to crash the movies, there is only one sure way That is, to make a short picture yourself. If it shows exceptional talent on your part, a studio will surely want you.
 John Flory, 24-year-old Cleve- land youth, tried this and today he has a seven-year contract with Paramount which calls for him to spend two or three years learning the business, after which a direc- torial assignment awaits him. Flory attracted the attention of studio executives with a film he made for $400 with a home movie camera.

year. There is so much to see and

evening, as well as all day Sunday

times for many.
This year the big coaster dips
have been made peppier in spots,
and a new, original lighting effect
has been applied to the aeroplane
swing. The old mill, carousel,
dodgem rides, midway, bowling
alleys, shooting galleries and other
diversions are a constant source of
pleasure.
The picnic groves have been en-
larged this year with more and
better free facilities, and from the
many bookings of Sunday schools,
churches and fraternal organiza-
tionS already received, the grounds
will be well patronized throughout
the summer.
In the beautiful Spanish garden

Road to Rome "
Players Bill
Monday

Robert Emmett Sherwood's S
Road to Rome" greatest comedy
success in the Jane Cowl career,
will be the next attraction of
the National Players opening
Monday night.
There was a significant and
wise shaking Of certain heads
when this comedy was first pro-
duced for it was bold and daSing
and deemed a bit defiant of
many of the theater's conventions.
Nevertheless it proved to be
exactly the type Of entertainment
for which Broadway is most
willing to make the spectacular
sacrifice and pay double fees. 1t
enjoyed 159 performances at the
Playhouse before taking to the
road for two highly prosperous
seasons.
While it is a quasi-historical
romance its humor and its rib
tickling situations are thoroughly
up-to-date. Beneath it's flowing
robes and Roman backgrounds
are luSty laughs and insinuating
fun, risque sometimes, but always
smart, sometimes subtle, generally
full of meaning.
The story is Of Hannibal and
why he turned back at the very
gates Of Rome on his triumphant
tour aimed to conquer the world.
The lovely Amytis, wife of Fabius
Amaximus, came to his tent to
plead for her own life and the
safety Of Rome. Before she leaves
Hannibal is sufficiently impressed
to order his armies to withhold
attack and he spares his enemies.
Why did he do it? Mr.. Sher-
woods guess is that he had a
reason particularly his own, and
this guess serves as the mott
waiting inspiration of this comedy.
Road to Rome" offers abund-
ant opportunity for. the players
leads, Miss Ruth Abbott and Roy
Roberts. Miss Abbott will be
seen as Amytis, in a role that is
rich in racy lines and clever
innuendo. Roy Roberts will be
seen as the young conqueror,
Hannibal, who was able to i'm
pose his will on nations and
armies but found Cupid too alert
a foe.

It is interesting to note, since
the passion play at Oberammer-
gau is to be enacted again this
summer, true story about AN.
TON LANG (the only man who
has ever played the role of Christ
for three successive times, in other
words, once every 10 years when
the passion play is performed)
MR.. LANG came to America as q
sort or unofficial ambassador
from Oberammergau to more or
less establish a connection in
America whereby they would be
able to sell to us wood carvings
and pottery so famous from that
section of the world.
He was highly feted and hon.
ored by the American people, and
when he returned to his native
land had, among other gifts, a
radio and six fountain pens (each
one inscribed to one of his six
children). Upon his return home
he discovered that the entire
population of Oberammergau had
turned against him because they
felt his trip had been only q
selfish mode of exploiting him
self. This unfortunate experience
may be the reason why he will
not enact the role of Christ in
the Passion Play this year, or an
other reason may be that the role
is so strenuous and that since he
is a man now 46 years Of age. and
broken in health, he cannot enact
it.

rently responsible for the gales of
laughter in the vicinity of Thir-
teenth and F.
One of those utterly ridiculous
picture plays which starts out on
a gorgeous yacht and ended on a
kiss.
The cast is a merry one and the
very faintest outline of a plot sug-
gests "The Admirable Crichton";;
only suggestion, however, for
our hero is young architect see
ing the world as a sailor-lad
aboard the yacht of one Doris
Worthington, a person surfeited
to brooding dullness by too much
money and too much freedom.
There is gay abandon, in crew
quarters, what with singing to an
invisible but very accommodating
orchestra; the young lady's fancy
is caught by the voice, and the
charm of the lad who is indiffer-
ent to her.
The boat hits a reef, sinks, but
not until our hero has rescued,
first a bear, pet Of the boat, and
then his lady, whom he secretly
loves, but can't think of anything
to do about it; hence the boat
wreck.
All the principals land, va
riously, on a lovely island, with a
prop moon lending romantic at

scene; the island is not deserted,
however, for on the other side, a
naturalist and his wife, with prac-

are collecting flora and fauna.

clans are baking on an impro-

until the lady tricks the hero
into a round of half-hearted love-
making, and then the usual mis-
understanding and the makeup
follow.
Sounds trite, and it is, but
there is so much fun in the un-
folding of this tale Of the sea
that one can laugh with the
comic antics Of Leon Enrol and
Ethel Norman, hum along the
many tunes with Bing Crosby,

orsotten Men "
Met Feature

"Forgotten Men" was first
shown in July, 1888, at the Metro
politan. It was hailed as a vigor-
Gus and effective demonstration
against war and its horrors. In
these troubled days, when war
again seems to be the main topic
with many governments, Forgot
ten Men" is even more puissant
in its return engagement at the
Metropolitan.
The film is a compilation from
official Government records, Of
the conflict, on land, sea and in
the air. Nationals of the various
nations explain the sequences. All
of the bitter hatred and useless
misery that are synonymous with
war is contained in this feature.
You see the lands. ravaged by
shells; the wholesale slaughter of
women and children; the blood
lust aroused by the struggle, while
all the while calculating minds
contrive new methods of murder.
Every important battle is shown,
beginning with the German in
vasion of Belgium after the as
saSsination at Sarajevo to the
signing Of the armistice and the
squabbles of the peace conference.
Forgotten Men" is nonpartisan.
It does not strive to blame or
condemn. It simply demonstrates
the utter folly of conquest.
