BULLDOG DRUMMOND"
HELD OVER AT PALACE

Word having spread around town
that Charlie Butterworth is at his
funniest and Ronald Colman suave
and handsome as ever in Bulldog
Drummond Strikes Back" that d.
Verting fable has been retained at
Loew's Palace for a second week.
Things are all turned around in
the storytelling world these DAYS. and
mere Is another yarn to prove it. De-
tectlVeS were once decorated with
cigars, derbieS and barbaric speech:
Villains wore oversize flngernails and
screamed Boo" mercilessly at little
girls; crimes were bloody and cruel.
Today our SleuthS are built in Bond
street. borrow their solecisms from
Coward and LonSdale and are very
gay, cynical, dashtng fellows, indeed.
Their quarry have been robbed of
their claws, have adopted Oxford ac-
cents and confine themselves to evil
! deeds motivated only by the best
regulated passions. Brutality has be-
come a vice observed only in drawing
rooms
Welcome is the change and happiest
O all Tie LnjSctlon OF 3 sense OF
humor into the darker mysteries.
Bulldog Drummonds striking back is
done with his tongue in his cheek,
while many bright phrase falls from
his lips, relieving charmingly the dull
business of uncovering certain das-
tardly designs of an Oriental prince.
Miss Loretta Young is on hand to
embellish the Sundry scenes as Cap.
Drummond canters about in search of
a code for the mysterious cablegram
and eventually when the villain has
been properly foiled, she reans grace
fully into th arms of the brave cap
tam. One gathers they are about to
settle down TO the blissful business of
raising hollyhockS and such In q
sylvan retreat.

does not believe the latter guilty OF

However, the denouement comes
when DR.. Redmayne is discovered IN
the basement of the sanitarium under
some sort of machine he has invented

it he appears as a skeleton, but Joe
stumbIingly turns it of and reveals

Harold Lloyd is sufficiently young
to play the part Of a chap leaving
the parenaI roof for a fling at life
He adds to the CONTINGENCIES of the
role a certain essential youth Of
spirit. an untouched quality, irteg-
rity and honesty and cleanness.
After the preview. he threw open
the vast Lloyd estate to the press
representatives assembled. They wan
gardens-the most extensive and
beautiful in all the Beverly Hills dis
trict. They spent the warmest evening
of the season on lawns clipped smooth
as velvet and broken by groves Of
young birches and lovely little lakes
They had supper about a blue-tiled
swimming pool larger than most
hotels provide for their guests, and
they danced to the best orchestra
I've heard in many moons.
The luxury Of the Lloyd establish
ment is peculiarly interesting in that
1t has been derived from an income
made exclusively by clean pictures
Harold Lloyd never has had to retake
because Of censorship troubles and
his pictures have always come out
of the test without cuts or arguments
Of any kind.
He's managed to roll up q larger
fortune than most Of the purveyors
of cexology. His three children live
in manner that few royal small
folk can boast. His friends are the
same ones he made in the long ago
when he was struggling to get foot
hold and the new ones that are
added are chosen for the same quail
tiles that made the old ones.
Harold Lloyd is Hollywood's most
interesting chapter in clean living.
LYDIA Roberti is back In Hollywood.
She's sometimes called the Tell 'em
the truth GIRL" because she's funny
that way about speaking her mind.
LYDIA Roberti is non-socia1 from
choice. She was, when she first
made hit In pictures, an object Of
considerable curiosity because she
liked to be alone so much.

UTHEN Donald Cummings was a
Nv kid in grammar school, he
swiped a clothes line from neigh
bor's back yard and began to prac-
tice stunts with it. All the young
hopefulS were trying to do them,
emulating William S. Hart and the
other movie heroes, who could sit
around their papier mache ranches
and lasso villains from so yards.
Cummings started the game be-
cause the other boys played 1t. but
he kept on because he discovered he
was unusually adept and he liked it.
The trail from the clothes line led
him straight TO the Earle stage,
where he is playing this week, to
vaudeville houses all over the coun-
try, to a nd-the-world exhibition
tour before he was of legal age.
Until the time that earnest exter-
minator of cinematic horse thieves,
Bill Hart, sponsored a roping contest
for boys in Los Angeles, Cummings
had made his tricks merely hobby.
Then he went into the competition
and won 1t three years straight, at
