HOLLYWOOD, April 29.-The
most perfect picture ever made
was Greed" except for it's length,
which embodies some ~ reels. At
this rate, six reels per hour for
eight hours to see this little epic
would have dazed all but the brave
for that length of squatting.
When it finally reached the screen
it had been shipped away to some
thing like II reels, which left it
still a very good picture. And now
there is very interesting story
connected with the making of this
cinema. It took one year of actual
shooting when the production
schedule was actually only to have
been about two months. Eric Won
Stroheim, the director, took his
company to San Francisco for a
two weeks location trip and stayed
six months. From there the COM
pany moved to Death Valley,
where, because OF non-hostelry,
they lived on a train. They were
supposed to stay there but seven
days, and after the location trip
stretched out for weeks, with Won
Stroheim refusing to come back,
the studio took drastic steps to
force their return by cutting off
supplies one by one until they had
finally starved the company into
returning to civilization. Some
fun the movies, even if it was dur
ing the old days. Or do you care?
Sooch carelessness: While in
Palm Springs, Dolores Del Rio
took off a diamond pendant on a
platinum chain, laid it in the
grass and returned to Hollywood
without missing it. When a week
had elapsed, she telephoned fran
tically a description of the bijou
and the location of it's misplace.
ment. A group of scouts did a
haWkshaw and retrieved it, much
to Dolores delirious delight.

.Hinda Wausau
At Gayety

Although the flag end of the
theatrical season approaches, Col.
James Lake, of the Gayety thea
ter, introduces his patrons this
week to the best bill of the season.
Headed by the blonde and vica-
cious Kinda Wausau, the present
company, from the platinum
haired idol - burlesque right y
through, presents a stellar caliber.
Miss Wausau, appearing more
youthful and exotic than ever,
demonstrated again her power of
bringing down the house" Her
dancing is uniqU" and her cos
tunes daring. but more than that
she has a vibrant personality.
1.-THE Beauty Revue" as the cur.
rent offering is called, is well
named. 1t is packed with becuty.
Vida Leslie, a new conner to the
local stage, is quite the prettiest
thing we have Seen-Well, in a
long time anyway. She has a
pleasant stage presence, magnifi-
cent figure and good voice.
Clique Rion, a platinum blonde,
presents an exotic number or so.
She is also very beautiful and
splendidly proportioned.
Bee Kellar is one of the few in
the company seen here before. She
goes over we'll in some song and
dance numbers.
The best novelty dancing of the
spring season is given by June
Morgan, a comely little lass who
would rate well on any bill. Her
speciality is distinctive and excel
lently done and marks the high
point of the whole show as far as
sheer merit is concerned.
That humorous Frank x. Silk,
whose fun is as smooth as his
name, is back. He is good as ever,
which is saying a good deal.
Harry EvanSon, a comic with a
great deal on the ball, also car
ries equal honors.
All in all, we repeat, the best
show OF the year. r. S.

Here is a comedy of manners
that is neatly acted by the very
competent company which has
been assembled for the E Street
audience. The ripe and juicy
acting plums Of the Samson

Sheridan and Raymond Bramley
this week.
Smoothly Acted
Mr.. Bramley is the playwright
and contributes in this as fine
a performance as he has yet
offered on the National stage. In
its battling love perplexities the
role of steven Gay presents
rich opportunity for sly and subtle
comedy and these moments were
made deliciously funny by the
quiet force of the actor who was
playing a part he seemed to enjoy.
Nancy Sheridan is the little sec.
rotary whose repressed yearnings
are vigorously expressed in one of
the lifting first-act moments,
whose delightful ability to get
what she goes after is one Of the
big reasons why Accent On
Youth" will appeal to the ladies.
Miss Sheridan applies the neces-
sary bounce to her smartly written
comedy scenes and rises beauti'
fully to the occasion for the emo
tional cliches. I have never seen
her look or play better than last
night.
Forrest Orr is the droll gentle

responsible for many Of its
gustiest laughs. For he makes this

a bit about Indian wrestling.
