Stevenson says he finds new and
vital literary material among our
studio workers, and has already half
finished the story of Hollywood ex-
ira that he took from an actual case.
In order to get the correct studio
atmosphere this energetic young man
managed to get small part in Anna
Stems picture, THE Wedding Night"
and found that he would have to
say his few lines with decided Pol
ish accent, as most of the story takes
place on a tobacco farm in Connecti-
cut run by Polish farmers.
He mastered the accent so quickly
that the director was interested, and
almost mystified until he learned that
Stevenson, who started as member
of the famous Princess Pat" regi-
ment during the World War, was soon
transferred to the counter espionage
branch of the British intelligence
when they found that he had talent
amounting to genius when it came
to dialects and foreign languages.
Because of his knowledge of IS
languages, which he speaks practi-
cally without accent, he was able to
work under cover against the enemy
and time and time again capture
spies, disguised as Americans or Ca
nadians who apparently spoke good
American English.
Stevenson's war experiences are all
interesting, but his most fascinating
story happened after the war when
he was serving in the intelligence po-
lice in Germany.
Stationed at Bingen, as head of the
passport control bureau, he met
man who took particular notice of
swastika ring that Stevenson wore.
1t happened to be gift from an In
dian chief, received on one OF his
visits to the United States.
But the young mans eyes lighted
when he saw it and he whispered,
"ah, you belong to my party"
'This is an American Indian ring"
said Stevenson. land I don't know
what you're talking about
Which is probably the first time
that Adolf Hitler learned that his
Nazi party symbol was an old Ameri-
can Indian symbol as we'll.

force is fifth in size in California.
This puts Los Angeles, San Francisco,
Sacramento and Oakland ahead of
the 68 men who keep things in order
on the local lot.
Lest you think that so many blue
coats must have too easy a time of
it, let me tell you that some $500
people work every day in this studio
and while there is little or no real
police work to be done, the officers are
kept busy running a lost and found
department that handles more valu-
able articles in a day than the aver
age department of its kind in a week.
Carole Lombard, for instance, once
lost a star sapphire ring worth a
small fortune. Pola Negri once left
$4,000 worth of diamonds on her
dressing room table.
Maurice Chevalier left a diamond
ring at the studio, and only the other
day Wendy Barrie forgot her expensive
fur coat on set.
What happens to all these things?
The Paramount police department
finds them and turns them in to the
head office.

There you have 1.-THE picture Is
authentic and amazingly vigorous. 1t
has its action way off in a pocket OF
the world, with which you and I and
the postman are little familiar Soldiers
in this British colonial army putter
around, do little sniping here and
there, accuStom themselves to the
language and habits of India, and in
their spare moments ride around the
country sticking wild pigs. At home,
they are a we'll trained lot, clicking
their heels at the sound of ORDERS
dressing themselves as If they were
off to dress parade, and keeping
that British lion ever present in their
thoughts.
As Lives of a Bengal Lancer" begins,
and it is now playing at the Palace,
the spirit of Kipling, of the Colony"
of the Grown" and of Picadilly is
very much in the air. Sir Guy Stand
ing, tough old soldier with a bullet
for heart and a map of British
India for a creed, is playing his stern
game of soldier with his underlingS,
reprimanding Gary Cooper for too
great audacity, and fearing the arrival
of his son, Richard Cromwell, into the
regiment.
Tears for his son are justified.
Cromwell is too young to realize that
when his father is playing soldier,
he cannot play father, too. Resent
ment at his seeming coldness frighten
him. Resentment at not playing the
game the way he should be playing
it frightens him too. He is captured
by an Indian chief, and, when his
father refuses to go after him, Cooper
and Franchot Tone desert their posts
and do the trick-but not before
much blood, much drama and much
heroism have gone under the bridge.
There is no way of capturing the
real spirit of these Lancers in words.
The redemption of young Cromwell,
while it is the pilot" of the picture,
is not its entire issue.
The relationship between three
young British of1cers-Cooper, Tone
and Cromwell-their battle to fit them
selves to the mood of the colonial
soldier; their contrast to the stern
old warriors of an older and better
school-these go to make up a fine,
strong picture-one which no boy, or
man, or woman will want to miss.
The acting of Cooper, and especially
Tone and Sir Guy Standing. is greatly
responsible for the authenticity.
Cromwell and c. Aubrey Smith con-
tribute some fine bits, too. None of
the cast falters. None of the charac-
ters fails. Even the cobra has its
moment-and what a moment! The
net result is just about 100 per cent
(Only fault: Somebody should make
up the casts mind whether it is left
tenant" or lieutenant" Some say
one-some say tother.)

Secret Bride" no doubt, would
have been a much better effort except
for the young lady starred in it. La
Stanwyck, for once in her career, at
least, fails to throw much emotion into
her role, and if the Governors daugh-
ter cannot become tolerably aroused
over her fathers troubles and i'm
pending impeachment, no one in the
audience is going to become aroused.
But Miss Stanwyck Just smiles half
heartedly and frowns equally half
heartedly and let's the film go on
without her. Or at least it would 60
on without her, if hers we're not the
central role about which the piece
revolves.
When "Secret Bride" rests on Bar
bara's shoulders it does not fare so
we'll, but when 1t slips of and the
brunt is born by suave Warren Will
liam, or by Grant Mitchell, it picks
up immeasurably. Mr.. Mitchell, in
fact, turns in about the finest piece
of work in the piece as a methodical,
hard-Working secretary, who gets
tricked into committing various das-
taroly ceeQS.
THE story itself is one about which
there can be no complaint; it is
moving and entertaining 1t seems
there is political faction set upon
the removal of the Governor of the
State, and few murders or the ruin
of a few careers are small matters
which do not stand in the way.
Evidence plainly showing the Gov
ernor's guilt-planted, of course-in
due time comes to the attention of the
district attorney, but this is where
the catch comes in-the district at
torney, having just married the Gov
ernor's daughter, is intent upon prov
ing his newly acquired father laws
innocence.
To reveal the marriage would, of
course, prevent his doing this, but
then along comes a murder, witnessed
from her husbands apartment by Miss
Stanwyck, the commission of which is
charged to hubbys secretary, Glenda
Farrell. Then Barbara, very nobly
and just in the nick of time, steps up
to reveal her marriage and free Miss
Farrell, who, incidentally, offers
another of her superb performances.
Finally everything reaches a happy
conclusion, but We still think Bar
bara Stanwyck should have been more
worried over her dads tribulations.

FOR several years past there has been
radio program featuring a we'll
known comedian and 'Rubinoff and
His VIOLIN" with the latter duo being
for much of the entertain
ment on that program. On the Earle
stage this week, Rubinoff adds a
twinkling eye, rouguish smile and
a warm personality to the familiar
strains emanating from his violin, and
in about IA seconds completely wins
any audience in the theater
Rubinoff's master touch on that
Stradivarius is marvel to hear-he
makes his violin sing, laugh, talk,
moan, and, in fact, makes it do every
thing but sit up and beg. His inter-

considerably by Romberg score, plus
Charles ButterWorth.
Mr.. Butterworth, who is fonder Of
MitZi, his horse, than he is of Una
Merkel--a situation which is greatly
to be deplored, but is nevertheless very
funny-makeS up for this antique
story and for some of its failing by
being as funny as he can in the midst
of a GrauStark situation, which has
the courtesy however, to end when it
should. Instead of the grand duke
marrying the ballet girl. he leaves her
fiat and departs to wed the ugly
princess, who can knit l08 socks In a
single year.
The rumor that Mr. Romberg's score
is a weak sister is for the most part
unfounded. There are at least two
songs that are very pleasant and an
other which is as good as the third
best tune in any show has any right
to be. While these are not sung with
any particular brilliance - neither
Evelyn Laye nor Ramon Novarro hav-
ing a voice out of the ordinary-they
are at least nicely orcheStrated and
bind up the plays lightness with grace
full melody.
Miss Laye is a popular British
actress, who continues to defy de-
scriptjon before the camera. Having
seen her once on Broadway as the
heroine of Bitter Sweet" we know
that she is a beautiful creature, slim
and vocally competent. Why. then.
when she comes on the screen, her
beauty should dim and her voice
narshen. we have no idea. She is
handsome-but she isn't handsome
enough-and her actions are some
how vastly unimportant.
Miss Laye's best moment comes in
ferris wheel So does Ramon No
varro's. They sing a duet, the theme
song. by the way, which is musically
the most attractive thing in the film.
Try as they will, however, neither
they nor Charles Butterworth, Edward
Everett Horton. nor Una Merkel can
rush this over the top in 4 big way.
It's a tuneful, graceful operatta, that
unfortunately doesn't amount to
row of beans. Ladies will like 1t.

periods Of enforced idleness should b
devoted to this"
Mainly, however, these remaining
three weeks are devoted rather stren-
uously to the business Of learning to
fly. With competent teachers at the
major controls, the students are put
through a rigorous routine Of 10 az
tual hours in the air.
The first "hour" Is given over TO
taxing, straight flying, turns and
glides. The second hour repeats all
this, adds take-offs, climbs and land
ings. The third and fourth hours
drive these lessons home.
The fifth hour introduces the tyro
pilot to the intricacies of spirals and
approaches, and continues recapitu-
lationS of first lessons for three more
hours.
The ninth hour teaches of stalls
and spins, and in the barracks after
the school day is over the boys recall
events of this particular part Of their
training with joy-that it is over.
Their last hour, too, Is one they
will not forget 1t gave them a prac-
tical knowledge Of emergency land
ings-without actually landing, and
one must hear the students tell how
their instructors cut of their motors
over forests and swamps ano gave
them the stick, to know precisely how
practical this lesson may be.
AS each hour of instruction is
passed the teacher rates his pupil in
the students jacket, a sort of log
book of progress. The students final
flight mark and the final aptitude
mark in the jacket are added to-
gether. A rather complicated system
of ratings determine the students
final mark. Upon this total eventua,
selections are made.
After the tenth hour of instruction
the student is ready for the two 30
minute check flights. During These
flights his instructor puts MIN through
all the lessons he should have learned
and notes his reactions carefully for
a numerical rating in the jacket.
Finally comes the solo, the stu
dents first half hour in the air alone.
He signs take-of time in the Jacket
and hopes he'll be able to sign landing
time when he comes down.
After that there's Pensacola to
! look forward to, and four hard years
