Of years. particularly as a member
of the Arts Club. ITO conduct an
organization for the development of
literary, artistic and dramatic talents
and to educate and to give opportunity
for practice in the dramatic arts" is
the purpose of the organization as
set forth in the charter.
No stock will be sold, inasmuch as

AS a child in California she prac-

She did not let it interfere with her
act, however, carrying on with the
next shows as if nothing had hap
pened.
Although her routine Is swift, vio-
lent and complicated. it is SO &C
curately performed that. for example,
she wears a deep bruise on the back
of one hand, because in a certain trick
it always brushes the floor exactly in
the same spot.
She prides herself on the continuity
and flow of her routine, as opposed to
the broken tempo of most modern
adagio performances, which are merely
a procession of disjointed acrobatic
stunts. Hers is closely woven series
of tricks, one moving naturally into
the next. The intermediate pauses
and drum hourishes are missing.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, February 81
(N.AN.A).-Mack Sennett is the
latest American recruit to English
films. The former king of Slss-
stick" is now in the British Isles
film world.
This may sound ironical to those
who know something of this mans
past successes, for the cinema world
has never known any one with a
greater capacity than Mack Sennett
for sensing talent in others.
Sennett's discoveries" who have
made good on the screen range from
the late Marie Dressler to the popular
Bing Crosby. They include such sure
fire box office names as w. C. Fields,
Wallace Berry. Frank Capra, Lewis
Milestone and Charlie Chaplin.
Lovely Carole Lombard. who is
''tops" in popularity today, once
caught custard pies on her classic
countenance for Mack Sennett.
Gloria Swanson's screen success grew
out of a novitiate at the Sennett
Studios. Harold Lloyd developed his
bespectacled genius under the tutelage
of this man, and Polly Moran, Wesley
Ruggles, Roy Del Ruth, Louise
Fazenda. Marion Nixon, Bebe Daniels,
Buster Keaton and Laurel and Hardy
are other examples of veteran film
artists who learned about acting from
this "Moliere Of the screen"
If his career in England is half as
brilliant as it was in America, the
nriffcl, Tel in, fa,-
lations in Turing him over there.
Lionel Atwill Is another who merits
congratulations for neatly and cap
ably stealing the latest picture in
which he is seen. refer to The
Devil Is Woman" which glorifies
the lovely Marlene Dietrich.
Despite the new makeup and ami
mated manner that Dietrich assumes
and the superlatively beautiful cam
era effects that Director Won Stern
berg achieves in this film, Atwill still
steals all scenes in which he appears

and mental struggles of a man whose
part is written in dull manner
compared to the talent Atwill brings
to 1t on the screen Edward Ev-
erett Horton deserves mention for his
work in this film, too.
While discussing recent views,
let me recommend "All the Kings
Horses" the musical film in which
you will enjoy Carl Brisson's en-
chanting personality and the excellent
vocal work Of Mary Ellis.
Eric Blore is another Hollywood
newcomer whose clever work Is al
ready appreciated by motion picture
audiences After the success he
made in The Gay Divorce" Blore's
appearance in any film is now Sig
nal for the audience to applaud, no
matter how small his part is.
Speaking of screen idols, heard
something interesting regarding film
stars recently. Rudy Vallee and Jean
Muir are two top-notchers who have
won the respect of all their fellow
studio workers. Not because they
went out of their way to be noticed,
but because of the day-by-day cour-
tesy they showed to their co-workers

Hayes states quite simply that she has
SO many things in life-husband,
child, the stage, books, the cinema,
etc.-that she has had to sacrifice
something
So Hollywood goes overheard. But
see here. says she, that doesn't mean
that I hate Hollywood. She doesn't.
She just has other things she likes
more. She likes her husband, her
baby, the stage, presumably few
sleep at night With all of these it
seems reasonable to suppose that she
should find it difficult to sneak in
time for the movies
The void that she leaves behind
will, however, be considerable. George
M. Cohan referred to her yesterday
in his speech in Toronto as Americas
first actress, something which is ap-
proXimately true if Miss Cornell is
excluded for not having participated
In the movies. She is inevitably an
important person and one who has
filled many a Hollywood role, which
henceforward must be left a blank.

amount of attractiveness placed her
in position which was the envy of

many a more brittle and possibly
more celebrated Hollywood siren.
THE swan-song that Miss Hayes sings
to the movies is far from the usual
Hollywood SWan-Song. 1t Is not ac-
companied by the shrek of wounded
producers, angry press agents. mutt
lated temperament. The star did not
say-as did recently a Latin Romeo
full of hot air and little talent
gather We around while unburden
my woes to you'-whereupon he re-
vealed nothing so much as a good
deal of bad temper. Nor was she
caught in the act of seeking her
leading man in the java stunt
which might well explain to eager
cameramen why she was leaving the
gilded village.
No-MiSs Hayes leaves Hollywood
with all affection and good will. She
leaves as she came-without fuss,
without Juror. taking back with her
only the good name that she had
when she went out there.
WHATEVER the public and the box
w Office may think about her at
this minute, neither of these two will
ever forget her as the heroine of "A
Farewell to Arms" While THE Sin
of Madeline Claudet" may have net
ted her the greatest amount of tears,
Mr. Hemingway's story heaped upon
her the greatest praise. Nor do We
beIieve-even in Lives of a Bengal
Lancer"-that Gary Cooper has ever
given a finer performance (the lights
and shades he puts in any perform
ance being limited.
As occasionally theatric as Fare
well to Arms" was bound to be, it
was more than bearable by Miss

There are many other roles on the
credit side of Miss Hayes Hollywood
career-and none on the debit. So
far as We can recall she never side
stepped and seldom made a false
move. If, occasionally, her slight
features were hardened by overStrain
OF lights it was not her fault; if she
smiled once too often through mist
of tears. that was her directors fault;
if she sometimes wore dresses that
scarcely suited her size and stature,
that was the fault of Adrian or some
other Hollywood gown merchant.
Miss Hayes erred only on the side
of perfection. A great personality
which probably is better recorded be-
hind the footlights, she, nevertheless,
will be cordially missed in medium
| which from the first instant she was
able to call her own.
