- Paramount's version of a

u from the engaging pen of
Clarence Budington Kelland
and being shown at the Fox Theater
this week, may be taken as Holly
woods answer to the movie critics
who have been screaming epithets Of
"indecency" and immortality" in their
censorship of recent screen offerings.
It is romance Of the Cinderella theme
done up In the best twentieth century
manner, without a single improper
speech of immodest scene.
As such, it may also mark turn
ing point In the type of movies the
cinema producers may turn to in the
near future. for 1t shows what corking
good entertainment can be made of
real honest-to-goodness modern
romantic story, with only the roman
tic hooey that US moderns have OBJ
jected to all alone left out.
You know that there Is no such
country as Taronia and that modern
princesses as rule are not as pretty
as Sylvia Sidney, even though this
one does ride a bicycle and go under
the nickname Of "Zizzi"; but still, un-
less your romantic sense has been too

drama, you will not find implausible
the visit Of such a princess to the
United States on a good will tour in
the interest of securing a $50,000,-
900 loan for her obscure country.
And the fact that Princess "Zizzi"
is stricken with mumps Immediately

third-rate New York actress, who
is, as the wood carvers say, a split

given the greatest part Of her career,
plays it to the skies to win the hearts
of all America, including one New

Add to this the fact that Madison

SIMPLE AND
HUMAN TALE
OF FARMERS
Realistic Picture Is Con-
structed From, the NOveI
"As the Earth Turns"

Because of its sincere and direct
approach to a rather diffident story
"As the Earth Turns" the current
offering at Warner Bros. Metropolitan,
turns out to be a better film than
many Of its more lively and distinctly
artificial contemporaries. Totally
without the glamour and gags upon
which many Hollywood stepchild
relies for its appeal to the public. the
picture nevertheless owns especial at
fractions in its unobtrusive manner.
The Shaw family, their Polish
neighbors and their poor relations,
stir up very little excitement on the
rocky farmland of Maine, but within
themselves lies the essential stuff of
drama If 1t can be extracted skill
fully and with understanding. Gladys
Hasty Carroll, who wrote the novel
Of "As the Earth Turns" supplied
both those elements to her work. The
cinema version has attempted to re-
tain them, although certain expedient
changes have been made in the in
terests of perturbation.
Primarily, LAS the Earth Turns" is
the tale of Jen Shaw (Jean Muir
and her Polish-born neighbor Stan,
their families and fortunes. The
Shaws were the most prosperous farm
ers in their Maine county, which
meant they could afford to have an
able-bodied son leave the soil long
enough to work his way through COL
lege
Stan, on the other hand, was a
city-born lad who loved the country
and brought his family to 1t hope
fully. When his first laborious days
of settling the farm had ended he
turned to Jen Shaw for companion
ship, became automatically involved
in the fates CT her family, her earnest
devotion to farm life. Because she
did not believe him fundamentally q
farmer, Jen tried to avoid marriage
with Stan, consequently threw him
on the rebound into the arms Of her
stepsister, vixenish wench much
less attractive than Jen's worthless
uncle, the male side of villainy in
the piece.
STAINS family revolt against the
bleak agrariap life and return to the
city. AS he sticks it out unhappily
luck takes a hand, his barn burns
and he surrenders himself to the city
once more, taking Jens heavy rival
with him. Ere the final curtain is
drawn, Stan has returned, renounced
all others but Jen, apparently settled
down to an energetic life on the
rough soil of New England.
Donald Woods, a young man who
needs no introduction to Washington
after his popularity with the National
Players, Is cast successfully in the
role of Stan, although he scarcely
seems the child of first generation
Polish emigrants to America. That
technicality forgotten, Mr. Woods
handles his role capably, supports
well the basic performance of Jean
Muir as Jen. The minor parts are
portrayed with extreme credibility by
Anthony Hohl, Emily Lowry, Dorothy
Appleby, Clara Blandwick and others
who do not insist upon attempting to
steal the show in their necessary but
relatively Insignificant roles.

gram this week are Clark and Nc

"The W1tching Hour" Augustus
Thomas play Of the late COS woven
around the powers of hypnosis.
which has already enjoyed great popu-
larity on the stage, should enjoy a
great deal more in its present form
now showing at the Columbia. De-
spite tagging moments, 1t Is engross-
ing to the average movie fan, and
should any one be particularly in
terested in hypnotism he will find it
q movie much to his liking.
Here is film that has all the ele-
ments Of a murder mystery, all the
dramatics OF courtroom scene, yet
actually has no code of unwritten law
or world menace. Neither Of the per-
sons involved in the murder would
have seriously considered committing
such a crime. Yet the crime was COM
mitted indirectly by one and directly
by the other from the influence of the
formers thoughts while under a hyp-
motto spell.
Both John Halliday, who has a long
record Of performances as a movie
menace, and Sir Guy Standing, an
actor Of keen ability, give portrayals
so convincing that one would believe
themselves under hypnotic influence
from their performances, though Mr..
Halliday Is only half menace in this
film. Nor could the performances of
young Tom Brown and Judith Allen
be justifiably said to be Of lesser merit,
though at no time did they reach the
smoothness of Standing and Halliday.
The plot, melodramatic to the nth
degree, Is nevertheless made into in
teresting material through the ef-
forst of the cast. The courtroom
scene, so popular In drama, came
near to being worn thin, but in "The
Witching Hour" this scene is the
most unusual and engrossing of all
This melodramatic plot begins In
the mansion of Jack Brookfield, in
Kentucky, which Is a haven for all
the Southern gentry desiring to
gamble. Though Brookfield is owner
and operator Of the place he never
CANDLES because Of his ability to read
minds and thereby know what cards
the others hold. Through the rest
Of the film up to the trial there Is
a somewhat lengthy explanation of
the powers Of hypnosis possessed by
Brookheld. He unwittingly, when he
learned the boy who was to marry
his daughter was afraid OF q cats
eye stone, hypnotized him, leaving in
the mind of the young man the
thought of killing his, Brookfeld's
enemy, Helmuth. This was not done
with malice aforethought, but came
rather as q chance happening after
Brookfield had a row with Helmuth.
1t was doubly difficult to convince
q jury that the boy was innocent,
and thereby lies the dramatic quality
that makes the climax Of this film
one of power. J. N. H.

The automobile accident WHICH
swept Dorothy Dell to death on a
Pasadena roadway is one Of the most
terrible ones In local history. Her
escort, DR.. Carl Wagner, a prominent
Pasadena physician, also was killed.
He became a hero In Dorothy Delfs
eyes when he saved the life Of her
mother recently.
Dorothy Dell has escaped death
many times In her brief life. When
she was 3, q dog attacked her and
her life was saved only when her
grandfather shot the enraged animal.
She missed certain death three years
ago when another member of the
ziegfeld Follies took her place in the
party that ended with the explosion
on Harry Richman's yacht. The girl
who took Dorothy Dell's place was
killed.
Miss Dell was severely injured in
an automobile crash in Central Park,
New York, three years ago and was
confined to a hospital for two months.
Once influenza carried her fever to
1O4, but Dorothy Dell cheated death
that time.
She often joked about her narrow
escapes and said: II guess I'll be run
