Dickens Tale
On Screen at
BeIasco

In the quiet of an English vii.
lage, in the tombS Of its dead,
Charles Dickens exact brain wove
the plot of his last novel. 1.-The
Mystery of Edwin Brood" unfin-
ished by the great author when
death overlook him, is a story of
sinister influence which spread it
self through the Vaccinations of
one man, choirmaSter by vocation
and drug addict by inclination,
until it struck at the heart of the
evil-doer.
Edwin brood was a young Eng.
lish gentleman betrothed in child,
hood to the daughter of his
mothers friend. The troth pleased
neither the boy nor the girl when
they reached their full estate, and
so they were ready to break it off,
amicably.
John Jasper, the uncle of Ed.
win, found envy in his heart for
the boy who was marrying the
young Rose whom he had taught
at music and whose love he
wanted so much that he would
kill.
A young man recently come to
the village loves Rose also, and
she returns his love, but such is
the need for gossip, that she dares
not make known her break with
young Edwin.
John Jasper brooks interference
from no man and sensing the true
state of affairs he disposes of one
lad by death and the other by sus-
picion.
So far did the famous novelist
go and it remained for the scenario
experts and directors to tell the
tale out.
It's stormy night, its appearance
of evil, it's dismal haunts, all con.
trive to make that creepy SenSa.
ton about the spine.
Claude Rains, whose voice must
be rated among the best on stage
or screen, is an actor of excep,
tional ability; you know that dan
ger is just ahead when he begins
to wander about in a dark cloak
with a hat down over his eyes!

of loveliness, the center of the

while David Manners, in the title
role, does we'll enough.

Dave Apollon and his revue that
every effort is being made to re-
book them sometime the latter

Apollon's revue, as revealed by

HOLLYWOOD, March 29.-Just
how to look upon the following
depends completely on the nature
Of ones personal ego: Shocking
as it all may seem and I don't
mean perhaps, the home-Spun
character portrayals of Will Rog-
ers, to say nothing of the jargon
he employs in his multitudinous
cinema give-outs, are considered
by all Europeans to exemplify and
typify that well known brand of
humanity, the American. Not
that there is anything wrong with
being home-Spun, but this should
be quite a shock to the blue
bloods, sophisticateS and those
whose joie de vivre does not ne
cessitate their chewing gum and
throwing a lariat.
An Eastern Mata Hari would
have us to know that all is not
well in Marilyn Miller's latest
matrimonial venture. In fact
'tis claimed that soon Miss M. will
be reciting her woes to a divorce
attorney. All this comes as rather
a jolt, because Miss M. and her
husband. Chester O'Brien, who
was a chorus boy in "As Thou
sands Cheer" have been much
publicized for being definitely and
eternally happy. Undoubtedly,
Mr.. O'Brien will be the recipient
of jolt also, for totally unaware
of this state of affairs, he is plan
ming to open a factory (should he

Howard Cleaning Up
Believe it or check and double
check, Leslie Howard is making
more money on the stage right
now than the movies pay him
per week. Simple enough. He
gives himself a fat salary as the
star of the reigning Broadway
hit, 1.-The Petrified Forest" and
he owns so per cent Of the play.
"Petrified Forest" paid off it's
production cost in the two weeks
it played Boston before reaching
New York.
About Charlie Chaplin
Charlie Chaplin is in the middle
of his new picture, tentatively
called 1.-THE Masses" and Sched-
uled to be ready for release next
fall. AS in his earlier features,
Chaplin will be a pantomime
comic, although the other charac-
ters will speak and there will be
sound effects. For Charlie still
has a Cockney accent that doesn't
fit his baggy trousers character.
It was February IS, 1881, that
Charlie Chaplin released his last
picture. "City Lights" He charged
exhibitors q murderouS price for
his feature and got it, with a re.
suit that "City Lights" crossed
more than $5,000,OO0. Exhibitors
think the biggest Chaplin mistake
is taking so much leisure between
releases but the multi-millionaire
star has his own opinion on that
subject and follows it.
This much has leaked out
about "The Masses" Charlie
will be an industrial slave in a
huge power plant and one of
the gags will have the pantaloon
falling into the machinery and
getting a merry-go-round ride
on a fly wheel. Another has him
riding on a repair truck and
falling off with a red flag in
his hand. He runs after the
machine waving the red flag and
the police mistake him for a
Communist, inaSmuch as crowds
are running with him. They
musS him up and toss him into
the hoose-gow.
Chaplin maintains the strictest
secrecy about his pictures, and
not even his closest friends are
permitted on the set while in
production. When "City Lights"
was finished he refused all re-
quests for pre-views including
those of exhibitors. They had
to literally buy pig-in-a-bag, or
perhaps clown-in-a-bag would be
better. In washington all the
Loew executives saw it for the
first time when it was unreeled
for the first public audience at
the Columbia Theater.
