Motion picture companies will
go to the great outdoors to finn
several Of the outstanding stories
on the production schedule for the
next few months. Jack London's
Call Of the Wild; Cecil B. De-
Miles gigantic historical spec
tacle, "The Crusades' and the
Yeats-Brown, drama, Lives of a
Bengal Lancer" will lead the stu
dio parade to the out-of-doors.
The settings for these pictures,
which are part Of the current Hol-
lywood movement to bring the
best in literature and drama to
the screen, will be gigantic in
scope, too extensive to be con-
fined within the walls Of the stu
dos. The same is true of such pic
lures as Booth Tarkington's "Mis-
sissippi," Bulwer-Lytton's "Last
Days of Pompeii," and others on
the distinguished schedule OF pro-
auctions in work.
Many of the productions are
historical in background and will
require extensive construction on
the country around Hollywood.
Efforts being made by major
studios to bring to life the great
dramas Of literature and the stage

Though he fights no duels in
"The 80 Steps" he fights with
rapier-like wits in many a diff

the story is concerned with spies
and a clever plot to steal out OF
the country an Air Ministry secret
in such a way that the Govern
ment would never know it had
been stolen. the papers would
never be missing.
Madeleine Carroll, beautiful
blonde star, plays opposite Donat
with their first meeting coming
when, to avoid capture, Donat
kisses her to hide his face. Later
she turns him over to the police
and then-handcuffed together
there develops a love story that
is already bringing glowing reports
on the picture.

Tries for Comedy

I have always liked Major
Bowes on the radio, both as the
maestro of his Capitol hour and
as the ringmaster for these Sun
day night amateur frolics. If I
have any criticism to make of
his early Sabbath evening inter
lude it is that the Major as an
Emcee presses a little in his
efforts to be funny, to supply
his entertainment with a laugh
every few minutes.
These comedy punctuaMons too
often make the volunteer artists,

humors. Major Bowes is always
the wise fellow, profound and

answers. I can't agree with

$1,000 for Louis

Nate SCel1el, 0Wner-manager OF
the Howard Theater on Tee Street
has just acquired Fay's Theater,
a 1900 scatter at Fourty-fourth
and Market Streets, Philadelphia.
This he will operate in addition
to his Lincoln Theater in the
Sleepy city.
In announcing the opening of
the Howard Theater a week from
next Friday, August %, with Louis
Armstrong as his stage headliner,
Manager Steifel also deposeS that
Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, Noble
SiSsle, Cab Galloway and other
sepia stars will cavort on his stage.
"Looie" Armstrong is admitted by
all musicians to blow the hottest
trumpet in captivity. He can do
tricks with a cornet that almost
melts the metal. He is, if you
please, the Joe Louis of the hot
Harlem music world. It is his
first vaudeville appearance.
Speaking of Joe Louis, Manager
Stiefel will try his best to land
the boy with the dynamite fists
as a headliner for the Howard.
Manager stiefel proposes to
wave five new $1,000 bills under
the Joe Louis nose while he is
here attending the convention of
the colored ElkS. If $4,000 looks
good to him he may have it for
signing up for personal" at the
Howard and another $4,000 for a
second week at the Lincoln in
Philadelphia. This is big money
for a boy who is still year away
from the heavyweight champion
ship. It will help pay for that

der barouche that Fighter Louis
has just bought for himself.
