About Sylvia Sidney


When Accent on Youth" arrives
on the Earle screen tomorrow,
moviegoers will be witnessing the
film version of the play which has
been an overwhelming favorite
this season with Americas stock
companies. E Street regulars will
recall that it opened the National
Players season in early May.
There will be the chance to COM

wright of the Samson Raphaelson
drama, a well written character1-

BY the immutable law Of aver
ages, Sylvia Sidney should land in
a good picture this time. She has
appeared in more mediocre stuff
or plain trash than any actress
who comes readily to mind, her
last feature, Behold My Wife"
being among the worst.
I observe by the Hollywood bull
letins that Paramount plans to
remake "Burlesque," and Sylvia
Sidney will be the "Bonny" Of
this touching drama. This was
the role that Barbara Stanwyck
won fame with on Broadway as
the coStar of the late Hal Sicily.

greatest plays of all time, insofar
as personal enjoyment is con-

Paramount made it as pic

Carroll, called it The Dance of

the red-headed Nancy and was
only mild success. With Sylvia
Sidney it should be a winner,
since she is among the finest
young actresses in Hollywood.
The male lead has not yet been
selected, but would like to see
Jim Barton get this role. He
surely could play this rummy.

SETTLEMENT
AGREED ON IN
SEWELL SUIT

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 81. U.P)-
Mrs. Leah Clampitt Sewell aband-
oned her self-Styled role of Mrs.
Sue-all' today by accepting a prop
erty settlement with. her former
husband, Barton Sewell, millionaire
yachtSman.
For $4,000 cash and $1,000
monthly alimony, she agreed to
withdraw a S250,0O0 alienation OF
affections suit against Mrs. Walter
Emerson, her onetime close friend,
according to her attorney, Henry
c. Bodkin. Another suit, demand
ing 100000 damages from the same
defendant, also will be dropped.
Thus ended a turbulent battle
which broke into the open several
months ago at the Emersons' con-
tested divorce trial which was fea-
tured by testimony of alleged
''wife-swapping." The Emersons
were both denied a divorce by Su-
perior Judge Ben B. Lindsey but
Sewell later obtained a divorce in
Las Vegas, New.
Mrs. Sewell is not yet free of all
litigation, however. Still pending
against her is a $150,000 aliena-
tion of affections suit brought by
Mrs. Elizabeth Keaton, former wife
of Buster Keaton, the film COM
edian. Mrs. Sewell denied Mrs.
Keaton's charges that she caught"

did not know how to open it wit
nesses stated.
Finally Steve Crabtree, cook, ar
rived, and Zimmerli opened the
safe, setting the money drawer on
top of it. AS Manning started to
scoop up the money, zimmerli said,
the latter grabbed the pistol, which
had been stolen previously from
the pool hall A fight ensued.
Officer Morford came up at this
time, taking Manning into custody.
Suddenly the youth attempted to
grab the gun which zimmerl now
held, and dove through the window.
Morford caught his leg, the officer
testified, and held him until the
other men could get outside and
grab Manning.
The youth was given first aid at a
