crooner, then go get him. And, after
having chased him all the way to
Hollywood, convince him that his atti-
tude is all wrong, hold him If you can,
which is much more difficult than get

At least that is what Marion Davies
finds. AS a French teacher in young
girls school she hears Bing Crosby
sing over the radio and decides that
she loves him. Packing a bag. and
telling the school mistress in no un-
certain terms what she thinks of her
and the school, she goes to her radio
crooner.
Here she encounters difficulty, for
Mr.. Crosby is already quite taken with
the charms of Mile. Yvonne, French
actress personified by Fiji Dorsay. Un-
daunted, she sticks. and through the
help of Stuart Erwin, backer Of Mr..
CroSby's new film, she gets to Holly
wood. Once in Hollywood Mr.. Crosby
is still as hard to reach as before. Mr..
Erwin again helps by giving her job

Mr.. Crosby's fans will find that he

"DINNER AT EIGHT" GAINS
EXTENDED SHOWING HERE

THAT strange menagerie Of mis-
shapen souls, the ladies and gentle
men of Dinner at Eight" is remaining
at Loew'S Palace Theater another week
to sadden and enchant the few local
lovers of gaudy histrionics who have
not already seen it. Glittering and
adept, the cinema production OF the
stage play by George kaufman and
Edna Ferber is one of those events
neither to be missed nor taken too
seriously. for its profundities are
Shoddy, its stately heroes and shapeiy
ladies tainted with bright cynicism and
its story more instructive than uplift-
ing.
Powered with a super-Super -super
Hollywood cast, Dinner at Eight" has
all the charms and variations of
merry ZOO and the peacockish preen-
ingS Of Mr.. John Barrymore as a de-
cayed matinee idol, the fatuous flutter-
ings of Miss Billie Burke as an unde-
voted wife and Miss Jean Harlow's
limitations of screeching wildcat with
her claws sunk deep in a stupid hus-
band (Wallace Berry, are worthy Of
a trip to their FINLAND cage. Lionel
Barrymore, Edmund Lowe. Marie Dress
Ter and Lee Tracy, to name few, also
are on hand to lend their happy gifts
to the festival of stars, and even the
bit players bear such potent names as
will carry the average program picture
twice around the country.
Dinner at Eight" is an episode
affair tracing out the fates and foibles
of dozen people whose lives are en-
tangled by a pretty skein of avarice,
pride. lust and other adornments of the
human heart To relate its history in
detail would both require too much of
your time and soften the punch of its
surprises, but it may be said there are
no glaring faults in the telling and
only occasionally are the artifices of its
creators made obvious.
The supporting program includes a
Grantland Rice sport subject. introduc-
ed by the worlds worst couplets, and
an animated cartoon. R B. p, Jr.

While nothing definite has been said
on the subject, certain foreign players
have been American favorites, while
other very good artists couldn't get to
first base with audiences.
The reason? They couldn't ship
their accents enough to make Ameri-
can audiences unaware of an occasional
broad "a" or a different intonation.
For instance, Give Brook, Ronald
Colman, Lionel Atwill, Herbert Mar
shall, Leslie Howard, are leading favor
ties of the screen in the United States.
Yet they are all native-born English
men. But Englishmen who have
learned to modulate their decided ac-
cents into a cultured English, at once
understood and appreciated by all au-
diences.
This very thing is termed by Phillis
Laughton, diction coach at Paramount
studio, as Cosmopolitan English" And
it doesn't apply only to Britishers ap-
pearing before American audiences.
Take our own players who hail from
the South, whose accent may be con-
sidered romantic. but is certainly not
easily understood.
Miriam Hopkins, Tallulah Bankhead,
and Una Merkel come under this
classification.
OF these three the first two girls
have successfully modulated their def
mite Southern drawl, while Una Merkel
accentuates hers in order to get certain
| comedy effects.
Voice culture is so definitely a part
of any successful motion picture ac-
tress work these days, that it would
| benefit some of our newcomers TO the
| screen to take heed, do away with the
| affected broad "a which becomes "aw"
| to them, and cultivate charmingly
spoken American-English.
There are those newly married
couples in Hollywood who don't feel
] that co-starring in a picture would be
| to their mutual advantage. perhaps be-
cause it would lead to disputes between
them, or again because they see no
| reason for a studio getting publicity
out of their personal happiness.
| Among these are George O'Brien and
Marguerite Churchill and Joel McCrea
| and Frances Dee, who haven't as yet
| concented to appear in film together.
| In sharp contrast to this opinion
Bruce Cabot and Adrienne Ames an
nounce to the world that they are de-
| lighted to have the opportunity to

Inc reason lAldC all OF CIllS Is allOWeo
Is probably because the action is so fast,
the characterizationS are so adept, and
the actors so unfailing, that there is
scarcely time to get over one laugh
before the other comes along. Even
Dick Powell hasn't time to sing a theme
song.
A better title might have been chosen.
But as it stands you know that the pic
ture tells of one of those conventions
held yearly at Atlantic City, where mer-
chants do less business and have more
fun than any time Of the year. At this
rubber convention Guy Kibbe and
Adolphe Menjou are the two lights
who are doing their best to get them
selves elected sales managers. Mr..
Kibbe arrives at the convention with
wife-Menjou without wife. Both of
them have a pretty good time-but the
sales managers job goes to Frank Nc
Hugh, who has been mildly 'plastered''
throughout the convention and who has
caught the president of the company
going to see a lady who calls herself
an insect eXterminator" at exactly the
right time.
The film is field day for Comedians
McHugh. Kibbe and Hugh Herbert.
They roll through with it with rye" in
their insideS and smiles on their out
sides. Particularly recommended is
that scene where Herbert tries to get
O light from McHughs cigar.
Dick Powell, Joan Blondell and Mary
Astor are also in it-as is Patricia
Ellis. young lady who looks as though
she might have future. But the best
of it is in the three Atlantic City
musketeers. whose greatest problem
seems to be how to get the stern wife
(Ruth Donnelly) of one of them out of
the city-so that husband can have a
drink, etc.
THE new stage show at the Earle is
l. we'll balanced with songs, dances
and fun. Doris Kenyon, who con-
tinues to be one Of the screens greatest
beauties appears in a few of those
song-sketches which she created so sue
ceSsfully a season ago in New York.
While we are inclined to believe that
they are a trif1e too intimate" for the
stage of a film theater, they are beauti-
fully done, Miss Kenyons voice being
we'll above the average and her cos
tunes as attractive as such things could
be- She has particular grace of bear
ing and she uses her hand in an effec-
tive Geraldine Farrar manner.
There is also comed1enne on
hand. Miss Clifford or Miss Marion.
we don't know which, who screams for
Henry and who gets her audience
into continual convulsions; Chayney
and Fox, two dancers way above the
average. who have reached some kind
of a climax of their interesting career
by dancing more than once at the
White House; the Sizzlers, a radio
quartet which knows how and what to
sing and deserves all the applause it
got-and the Great Gretanos who
dance merrily on high wire.

public and private career in Seat
tie since graduating from the Uni

has consistently followed a pro-
gram of non-prejudice where color
or creed was concerned. In fact,
when chief of police, he was large

ing of two colored men as mem
bers of the Seattle police depart

proved splendid officers. This is

RIOT
BREAKS OUT IN
NIAGARA FALLS

NIAGARA FALLS, NY The
wave Of radical clashes that Is
sweeping the Eastern portion of
the United States hit this city
Monday night A mob estimated
at 5000 participated in an inter
racial free-for-all that ended with
some people sent to the hospital
and police quelling the general me-
lee.
William Fisher, 80, is confined In
the Memorial hospital with pos
sible fractured skull. and Walter
Korpolinslxi, white. 40. is confined
to the same hospital suffering
from severe, knife wounds in the
abdomen.
Fisher and Korpoinski are said
to be the central figures in the
fight which precipitated the riot.
Joseph Buckford, 10, is also con-
fined in the Memorial hospital, suf-
fering from a possible conclusion
of the brain.
Many others were injured in the
fighting, which was confined to
the East Side where colored people
and Polish-Americans are inter-
mingling. East Falls and oath st.
is the exact location. White res
idents are said to resent the infil-
tration of colored people.
The rioting was started when an
attempt was made to break up a
meeting of the International Labor
Defense called to rally workers to
the aid of Alphonso Davis, col
ored lad who was arrested and
charged with attacking white
girl.
Property damage was said to be
high in the section and police are
busily engaged in keeping more
than six people from congregating
at any one point
Recent inter-raciaI clashes have
occurred in Philadelphia, New
York and Cleveland.
