.estIake Terrace
Offers Two Shows

Two floor shows nightly, featur-
ing Gracia and Lamar, Argentine
dancers, and the four young mem
bers of the Cornish Family, this
week are ushering in the still-young
out-of- doors dancing season at
Westlake Beach Terrace, High
School-rd between w. 10th-st and
Rockville-rd.
Providing dance music is Morrey
Brennan's band, with the giant of
Jazz" as master of ceremonies for
the floor shows.
Gracia and Lamar, specializing in
dances from the pampas, recently
have filled long, successful engage
ments in Havana, at Mexico City's
Hotel Regis and Kansas City's
Paramount Club. They are here
presenting their own version of the
Continental.
Fast tap turns are offered by Jan
and Mary Cornish, the feminine
half of the Cornish Family, while
Harry shows his versatility on a
variety of musical instruments
while singing or dancing. Ronald
entertains with accordion and vocal
numbers.
Outdoor dancing IS assured at
Westlake Terrace by the novel con-
struction of the dance pavilion with
its roll-away dome over the dance
floor and the side walls which open
directly on the terrace.

lifted Godfrey Sherwood Qan Hun
ter. a society lawyer, out of the
gutter
Miriam, in making man out of
Sherwood, married him. Sherwood
made a wreck of himself because
Valentine katherine Alexander, ,
who thought she was a lady because
she was born in society, turned him
down and married a Weather man.
Miriam soon learned that her nus
band wanted to go back to his
friends and that Valentine already
was disconnected with her husband
and had her head set on Sherwood.
Then the battle starts with Mrs.
Martin ALLISON Skipworth acting
as advisor to Miriam.
There is one especially smart
scene where Miriam forces Valen-
tine to hurl a grapefruit at her in
a ritzy dining room.
The dialogue is clever and there
are numerous wise laughs present.
Miss Davis is interesting ali of the
time. The cast is adequate.

Morris turns out a grand perform

CaIleia is an expert at creating

makeup and his thirst for blood
when the fight starts. Here is saw
age representation Of a killer and
a gang leader. As such it IS a mas

Grand is just the word for Lionel
Barrymore as the doctor. He can
play a Souse better than anybody

Trade at Home
Policy Adopted
Paramount Gets Props for
'CruSadeS' in America.

The time has passed when home
offices Of major film companies in
New York have to worry about the
state Of foreign commerce and high
express rates.
Production of such a tremendous
feature as THE Crusades" has con-
WINGED Paramount, at least, that
ive-sixths of the properties and
equipment needs of a producer may
be obtained by the film industry
right within the limits Of its own
studio colony, Hollywood.
Goods from England, Japan and
Germany were considered necessary
when Paramount first scheduled this
picture. BY the time Cecil B. Ie-
Mills was ready to start camera
work Frank Richardson, head Of
the Paramount wardrobe depart
ment, found the company could dis
pense almost entirely with import
ed wares.
1--WE found" Richardson report
ed, that American mills and fac
tories could supply just about ev-
erything we wanted and give us as
good a product as we could get
elsewhere, and at reasonable cost.
The advantage the Hollywood
manufacturers representatives had,
too, was that most of them are IA
miliar with the exacting require
ments Of the studios and have done
work for them before.
"One local manufacturer went to
the trouble of obtaining special
loom from abroad-the only one of
it's kind that has ever been in this
country-to knit $500 pounds of cord
into garments for the Crusaders"
Richardson also pointed out how
medieval weapons used during the
Crusades era we're faithfully repro
duced in this country without Para
mount so much as having to send
abroad for patterns.

Wilcox production, Nell Gwyn,"
soon to be released through Unite&
Artists, has left London for holi-
day along the Arctic Circle. She is
to spend a little time in Lapland:
and then proceed to Finland and
Sweden.
Miss Neagle, who is co-starred
with Sir Cedric Hardwicke in Nell
Gwyn," always has shown a prefer

cold climates, the mountain air
and seascapes. On her return to
London she will be starred in an

The play-Whlch two weeks ago
received the Pulitzer award-waS
written by Zoe Atkins and is based
upon the novel of the same name
by Edith Wharton.
The stars, both of whom will ap-
pear on tour, are Judith Anderson
and Helen Menken, and the pro-
Queer is Harry Moses, whose past
contributions to the Broadway scene
have been such important and sue
cessful productions as Grand
Hotel" Dangerous Corner" -Four
Saints in Three Acts and THE
Warriors Husband
The latter vehicle, incidentally,
served as the springboard that pro-
PEELED Katherine Hepburn from the
legitimate stage into world prom
inence as a screen player.
THE Old Maid" will inagurate its
forthcoming road tour in Philadel-
phia on Sept. 30. and will play rs
cities in 33 states before terminating
its travels in Richmond, Va, late in
March, 1886.
This rather closely approximates
the record established by THE
Green Pastures" last year when the
Negro classic visited SO cities in 80
states.
The Old Maid" again like the
Marc Connolly play, will be pre-
scented at more than 20 leading uni
versities throughout the country as
well as play brief engagements in
every major city from the Atlantic
to the Pacific coast and from the
Canadian border to the Gulf of
Mexico
In THE Old Maid" Miss Atkins,
the author, tells a poignant and
moving story of the struggle of two
women for the possession of a child
born out of a fine passion, but not
within the bounds of wedlock.
A compelling drama, replete with
pathos, handsomely mounted, and
every phase of its production &C
complished in superb taste, THE
Old Maid" is recognized as one of
the most worthy ana deserving can
didates ever to attain the coveted
Pulitzer prize.
1t will remain at the Empire
Theater, New York, until the start
of its road tour late in September.
