course and tell their amusing st,
Great stars have been acclaimed as
q result Of this era in motion pictures,
but perhaps the greatest change of all
has been wrought in Hollywood itself.
Some of the greatest names of the
time have passed in and out of its
cinema portals during the past few
years. In fact, Hollywood has been
host to more outstanding talent than
any other quarter during the last half
century.
Some have left a definite mark en-
route: others came and left without
ever hitting their stride, and a great
many have remained to add their
talents to the screen.
George Bernard Shaw, that enfant
terrible of English letters, was one of
those who came to make big splurge
and didn't cause so much as a ripple
on the cinema surface. Shaw didn't
come to show Hollywood how things
should be done, but his visit neverthe-
less was disappointment.
Dorothy Parker, that superclever
person who writes poetry, humorous
sketches or short stories with equal
facility, spent a season in Hollywood
a few years ago and then fled in terror
back to New York, where her stories
of the movie village were the talk Of
the town. Life in the motion picture
capital was too much for her, and she
admitted it.
But that was three or four years
ago. Today she is back here, ap-
parently happily working for the
movies. She has found work that is
congenial to her and will add some Of
her priceless lyrics to 1.-TWO on a
Tower" the scenario she is now pre-
pairing for Mary Ellis, the singing act
ress recently signed by Paramount.
Sergei Eisenstein came to Hollywood
and made a vast impression with his
picture, Thunder Over Mexico" The
photography in this film is perhaps
the loveliest even to reach the screen.
So, for this if nothing else, the Rus
slams lone effort here was by no means
q failure.
Josef Won Sternbergs genius with
the camera is permanent thing in
motion pictures, and much Of the sue
cess of his films is due to the ex-
quisite Photographic effects in them.
Theodore Dresser tried to do busi-
ness with the motion picture pro-
ducers, but departed in a huff when
his demands were not met at once,
He is one Of the masters of literature
who do better to have some one else
attend to the details Of everyday af-
fairs
Hendrix van Loon, literary his
torian, has been in Hollywood, but
stayed only long enough to call the
town welter of "Jeromes," whatever
that is. And H. L. Mencken took
but one good look around and then
fed North to recover behind the
brownstone front of San Francisco's
Bohemian Club.

DR. JOHNSTON HURT
IN CRASH IN ENGLAND
Sister.in-Law of Ex-Pastor of St.
Johns Episcopal Church
Is Killed.

Rev. DR.. Robert Johnston, for many
years rector of st. Johns Episcopal
Church at Sixteenth and H streets,
was severely injured and his sister
in-law, Mrs. Florence Crow of Can
terbury, England, was killed yester-
day in an automobile accident at Ep-
som Downs, near London, an ASSo-
ciated Press dispatch stated last night.
DR.. Johnston's injuries consisted of
head cuts and conclusion of the brain,
and we're said to be not critical. His
sister r-in-law, whom he had been Wis
iting at Canterbury, died of a frac-
tured skull in a hospital near the
scene Of the accident.
Their car collided with another.
DR.. Johnston was rector of ST.
Johns from 1921 until last year, when
he resigned and went to England for
his health
When the President and Mrs. RooSe-
welt were on their way to the White
House on Inauguration day. they
stopped in at St. Johns. where Mr..
Johnston conducted special service.
Considered one of the outstanding
clergymen Of the Episcopal Church
in the United States, DR.. Johnston in
1928 was chosen as a candidate for
election as bishop coadjutor of Penn
sylvania. His friends here said that
he did not desire this eminence and
remained in the National Capital.
Mrs. Crow was q native of Canter-
bury, as was her sister. the rector's
wife. She had never visited the
United States, but one of her three
daughters, Miss Nora Grow, was we'll
known in Washington. She taught
music for several years at the Cathe-
dral School for Girls.
