Producers Hurry to Sign
Top-Notch Men for
Iona Periods.

Hollywood has suddenly awakened
to the fact that it is facing fam
inc in first line directors, and there
is mad scramble among the vari-
Gus studios to place the various top
notchers under long term contracts.
Ranks of the directors were deci-
mated when talkies first came in,
many of the first lire producers OF
silent epics finding themselves ut
terly unable to cope with dialogue.
A few recruits were drafted from
the stage, but there has been a
growing shortage of directors for
several years which now, with Eng
land grabbing off number of first
class men from Hollywood, has be-
come acute.
Fox Film is meeting the threat
of a director drought by lining up
a half dozen of it's bright young
men for promotion. They are to be
given a chance to direct program
pictures. If they make good they
will be promoted to the first rank
with great rapidity.
Two assistant directors, Two Writ
ers, an art director and film cut
ter or editor, have been designated
for promotion and are now under
serious. consideration.
On their first pictures they will
be teamed-that is, an assistant di-
rector and the art director will CO.
direct a filnn; the other assistant
and a writer will be paired, and the
second writer and the film editor
will work together.
II the first experiment is a sue
cess, each man will get chance
to direct a program picture on hi
own. If he makes good on that he'll
get a crack at a feature.
Promotions from the ranks in the
past have been rare, and this il
the first concerted move for stu,
dio to develop its own directing
talent.

out to be Elmer White, and Elmer
Ned Sparks) turns out to be not
only theater manager, but mayor,
police and politician of the town.
The boy and girl are taken to New
York for Mr.. Whites new show and
become distinct hits. But the mud
of Broadway gets splashed around
a bit and danger looms when each
falls for another. But all comes out
in the wash.
The dancing of Eleanor Powell is
a highlight Of the show. She does
everything with her feet and the
difficult twirl rhythm is exceptional.
The comedy of Sparks, Edwards
and Rooerti keeps the show from
going sour although there doesn't
seem to be any chance of that with
such music and girls. The choral
routines are not overdone as has
been the case m some recent must
Gals, and are of the satisfying
George White brand.
Jackie Green, youthful imperson-
ator, shines in the stage Offering
with his def portrayals of Joe Pen
ner, George Jessel, George Arliss,
Eddie Cantor, AL Jolson and Jimmie
Ourante. The changes are made
right on the stage and the reSem-
blances are remarkable.
The soft shoe dancing of the
White, Lee and Sue act is only ex-
ceeded by the acrobatics Of Miss
LYDIA Sue who shows great promise
in her solo numbers.
Others on the bill include Tenkai
and Okinu, Oriental magicians;
the Three Radio Rogues, local radio
boys, whose offering includes several
snappy tunes sung via microphone;
Brems Fitz and the Murphy
Brothers in an act of song and slap
stick which has it's moments, and

closes the show with hula and
shimmy dancing and some very
good Hawaiian music.

furore created by the discovery that
it is Beans masterpiece almost ruins
the Haggett family.
Even honest DR.. Haggett becomes
a willy "f1xer" in the attempt to gain
possession Of the portrait so he may
sell it for many thousands, but Abby
remains loyal to her love and refuses
to part with anything that Chris
Bean painted.
Her gentle stubbornness finally
wins and she departs triumphant
in her retention of all his works.
There is the same fundamental
honesty about Abby as there was
about Carrie in Mr.. Towards Ned
McCob's Daughter" but the grim
quality is missing, and a pleasantly
regretful, but none the less firm,
determination to retain all the
paintings because she alone loved
Chris, gives her an heroic stature
among a group Of greedy people.

proper talent for receiving demon
STATIONS of affection, whereas, the
French girl, inheriting skill from
ancient ancestry and precedent,
knows just how far to go.
American girls, according to Boy
err, for lack of experience and prec-
edent, are either too backward or
entirely too forward.
Replied Miss Colbert:
"Frenchmen do their wooing most
artfully, but alas, they all do it
alike. Americans on the other hand,
with no precedents to live up to, are
distinctive, personable and different
in their methods of approach and
In demonstrating'their devotion. No
