picture vogue.
The role of Silas Mariner is sched-
uled for Lionel Barrymore. 1t is, If
remember correctly, the tale of a
man who, in a trance of sorts re-
sulting from illness or an injury, takes
the church funds. Then he spends
the remainder of his life weaving in
the mills, in order to pay back his debt
in full, and is robbed of the lifetime S
savings on the eve of restoring the
missing sum. 1t is story of middle
England in the early nineteenth CEN
tury.
And speaking of England, note re-
ceived from Alfred D'Eynecourt OF
Elstree Studios is interesting. He tells
me that some of the best pictures
made in Britain never get to America
and that many of those sent here for
distribution do not represent the
highest type of picture which the
British manufacturers are capable OF
releasing. He adds, lone gets, If one
is lucky, about $25,000 (for a picture
which costs $375, 900 to make) for the
entire American release"
American producers are probably
UP against the same thing in releasing
films abroad. I have been wondering
for some time at the spottiness OF
the English product, in that one
picture will be of a high standard
and the next one like Hollywood
''quickie" of 10 years ago.
Director Clarence Brown is wearing
a broad smile because he received
an ovation from the audience which
previewed "Ah, Wilderness!" the
other night. The O'Nein classic. which
was a comeback vehicle for George
M. Cohan with the New YORK
Theater Guild, season before last,
comes to the screen with Lionel
Barrymore in the Conan role.
1t revived delicious memories for
the audience-of the days when
women did burnt etching on wood or
leather; when every boy in the street
was whistling a song called "Dearie,
My Dearie," and of the quaint OLD tunes
wher. parents told their children to
be home at 10 o'clock at night and
sat w and worried about them II
they didn't show up. OF the times
when Swinburne was considered
bad" literature and his books were
burned by a victorian-minded gener-
alton.
When picture producers are building
a player into star, they give him or
her two big roles, two or three less
conspicuous roles and then big one
again. That Is the usual formula for
selecting star material. Gertrude
Michael was in the midst of such
campaign when the accident occurred
which has taken her of the screen
for some months.
She returns to the studio to find
three pictures ALI ready and waiting:

PICTURE SHARES SHOW
WITH ADRIENNE, PSYCHIC
Music Is Magic" Helped by
Some interpretations From
Entertainers.

"MUS1C IS MAGIC" which yeSter-
day opened at the Columbia, is
a rather amiable item in which the
Fox Film people have invaded the
movie plot mausoleum, hauled out a
decadent story, worried it awhile as a
Scottie worries an old shoe, and then
sent it back to its shroudS where it
should have been left in the first place.
If you've heard the one about the
famous star who outgrew her ingenue
days but would not believe it, and who
had a daughter she passed off as
sister, don't stop us. For it is being
told again and you can't do anything
about it. Bebe Daniels does a good
job of acting as the movie star who
wouldn't act her age, though, which
helps some, but there isn't enough
magic in what music there is here to
make it look fresh and inviting.
There are a few good moments,
though, brought about through the
presence of Luis Alberni, Mitchell and
Durant, and Alice Faye Mr.. Alberni
has one scene which is completely
hilarious. Evidently it was inserted
in an effort to brighten things up,
which Mr.. Alberni certainly does. but
the producers of the film made their
mistake in not discarding everything
Else and building new picture around
the Alberni comedy scene.
Mitchell and Durant have a lot of
opportunity to rant and rave and to
knock each other about, and are
mighty good. You have to like them,
though, to appreciate them.
Miss Faye gets in her licks in the
musical numbers. which have been
dragged in by the heels, and a very
loose grip on the heels at that, but
Alice is plenty of excuse for bringing
on song and dance scene, if no
other can be found. She knows how
to sing a song and her mere presence
provokes pleasant sensations.
Adrienne, internationally known
psychic. making a personal appear
ance, is, by far. the most interesting
item on the Columbia's bill. She tells
people things she couldn't naturally
and normally know about them and
amazingly answers all questions re-
layed to her from members of the au-
dience.
A couple of the Columbia's short
subjects, particularly a looney piece
entitled "The Internal Triangle" rate
equal, if not better billing than the
feature film. which, however, is not
saying much. H. M.

Director Frank Lloyd has ham

but with an eye for the rough old
man of the sea, who can lure man

human flies.

Singing in the streets for cop
perS at the age of ten. .bowing
to a wildly applauding theater
audience at seventeen! That's
the dramatic story our sketches
tell Of the great Nineteenth cen
tury French actress, Rachel.
"She was just a freak Of
fate" you say. But listen to
the story of this amazing de-
velopment of personality.
Rachel was a peddler'S child
with no beauty. A Paris music
director watched the little raga-
muffin singing and offered her
lessons. But the voice that
brought forth coins from pas
Sersby in the street had gutter
harShness; it would never do
for professional singer.
"You can be an actress-but
only if you improve your voice."
her teachers told her. In less
than seven years, the critics
spoke of her voice as irresistible,
her language divine. She became
the greatest tragic actress in
France, and the power of her
voice is still written about to-
day. The shade Of face powder,
rachel, is said to have been
named for the olive-Skinned
Rachel.

How to Cook
Broccoli

Broccoli has two distinct
partS-the flowerlet, which is
quite tender, and the connectiva
stalk end, which is more fibrous
and needs longer cooking. To
economic, it is wise to buy
enough for two meals. Each
part can then be cooked as a
separate vegetable.
To cook the flowerlet, cut
about one and one-half or two
inches from the tip, then coon
in boiling salted water until
tender and pour over it melted
butter or butter with grated
cheese.
The stalks need longer cooE
ing. About 80 minutes is needed
to make them tender. When
preparing for cooking, peel the
less tender parts and slice into
even lengths. Serve with white
sauce made with top milk, OF,
chop and serve in Souftle.

small squares rolled the same
thickness as for biscuits. Fry
these with the chicken until
they are crunchy golden brown.
They are delicious and make
the chicken platter go twice
as far.
For the bony pieces, stew
them slowly until tender and
then make q drop dumpling.
This recipe for dunplingS
comes from a resident of Bev-
erly Hills, Cal. She lives in
and among the movie folks of
that glamorous place. Many
Of them have eaten these.

One-half teaspoon of salt.

der, and salt twice. Beat the
eggs and combine with the
milk. Add little at a time to
the Sifted flour mixture. Beat
vigorously all the time. Air
bubbles will appear on the top
Of the dough. When it is ready
to drop from the spoon it
should be like soft ice cream.

is not quite soft enough. Have

ities which make for success.
You see this on every side. And
do women capable of earning
substantial salaries turn natur-
ally to men who are less Ca
pable?
Perhaps there is something in
the charge brought against sue
cesSful women-that they enjoy
being the Queen Bee in the
hive.
There are enough such mar
riages to give some weight to
that argument. But in spite of
that, such unions seem a bit
doubtful to me. For girl with
a substantial pay envelope to
marry a man with no pay en-
velope at all, or one that's as
flat as tissue paper, seems a
good deal of a risk.
Some people do very well with
such makeshift marriages. But
isn't this complete reversal Of
the roles of the sexes entirely
too much of u makeshift?
If a man is incapable Of get
ting a Job because he has nei-
ther trade nor profession, isn't
it wiser, in these days Of adult
education and free vocational
training, for him to, learn q
trade or fit himself for a pro
fession, before he undertakes the
responsibility Of marriage?
The patience Of a wife who
brings home the bacon and
cooks it too is apt to wear thin,
and the position of a husband
who depends on his wife for
board, keep and pocket money
breeds lack of self-respect.
Again, there is another quail
fly in such a marriage not to be
overlooked. Love thrives on op-
position. Indeed. it might be
