they do not enjoy being more femi-
nine. Skillfully they play the games
of their men . :. riding. shooting,

can women about dressing always for
men. They place their men upon high
pedestals and make great fuss about
them. In our country it is the woman
who rests upon the pedestal, and the
men must worry.
Actors Generous.
The important English actors are SO
so unselfish. Time and again !
saw the great star Of repertoire COM
pany eagerly surrender his position at
the close of a shows run and take a
mere bit in the next play in order to
give some youthful newcomer a
chance. The custom is a general one
among actors who love their art so
much they want to see the perfect
person in the role, and are willing to
relinquish their own personal glory to
the success of the whole. What gen.
erosity this Is!
English fans are shy but de-
termined. They do not worry about
autographs Their only interest is to
see their favorite as often as possible.
I used to feel so badly for them, wait
ing for hours in the cold in front of a
theater just to get glimpse of me.
They will follow one on their little
bicycles all over the city. They just
look and look and smile.

"P00R LITTLE RICH GIRL"
HELD OVER AT PALACE
Talent and Her Teeth Still Intact,
Shirley Temple Does Nicely by
a Nice, Old Story.

A PPARENTLY ageless is this shir-
ley Temple. When almost any
other actress of the same age would
be in temporary retirement due to the
loss of her deciduous teeth, the endur-
ingly charming and vastly talented
Shirley continues to beguile Nation
in apparent defiance of the laws of
nature.
In Poor Little Rich Girl" held over
at the Palace for a second week, she
is given not a great deal to work with,
but it turns out to be quite enough.
If there are evidences that the see
narioists relaxed just little, it is ap-
parent that the star of the piece works
hard enough to compensate for their
deficiency of ideas.
Shirley Is given songs to sing, dances
to dance and lines to recite and plot
that adds u pto three such elements,
with the Temples little girl doing the
adding, is eminently satisfactory.
Iconoclastic followers OF filmdom' S
fairy child who venture into the Pal
ace with the idea that by now she
must have begun to decline are
doomed to disappointment. AS just
one more poor little rich girl with a
yearning for a little mud to play in
and a lot less ampering, Miss Temple
manages to climb again inside the i'm
plications of the word enchanting"
Alice Faye, the girl who sings as
throatily as her brother probably
wishes he could, gives the most con-
spicuous assistance to the star of

Earthquake Is Star of M.-G.-M.
Story of Life Along the

saga of life in San Francisco in the
Barbary Coast days preceding the
earthquake, which recently Joined a
select group of cinemas by settling
down at Loew's Palace for a third
week, yesterday opened at the Colum-
bia for its fourth week on the main
stem.
Clark Gable and jeanette MacDon-
aid are announced as the nominal
stars of the Aim, but the M-G-M tech
nical staff rates top billing over cast,
title and everything else. For the M
GIN studio technicians have pro-
duced a reproduction Of the San Fran
cisco earthquake to climax the film
that makes the terror and the fear
and the hideous destruction Of that
rampage of Nature very real indeed.
San Francisco" is an entertaining
film and it has been smoothly con-
structed by Director w. S. Van Dyke,
but it would not be anything to be-
come overly excited over if it were not
for those last Is minutes or so. But
it's worth waiting to hear the quake
rumble, to see tall buildings crash to
the ground, to see the earth open up
in huge gashes, to see fire rage as the
San Francisco of old meets its doom.

the other hand, there are some IN
dividuals (members of an unenlight-
ened minority, of course) who can sit
cold and unmoved, watch Mr.. Fields
perform without even snickering. How
they can do it isn't the point at the
moment. The fact is that devotees
of the Fields humor will go to the Fox
this week without the urging they are
about to get.
"pOPPY," which opened at the Fox
yesterday, Is Mr.. Fields twenty
third cinema. 1t isn't as good as
some of those which have preceded
it, its story is hackneyed and becom-
ing a bit tired after having scenario
writer's rely on 1t all these years, but
withal it is a pleasant enough mild en-
tertainment and an adequate vehicle
for Mr.. Fields waggish humors. 1t
doesn't matter that Poppy" as far as
its plot is concerned, is devoted to the
tale of a young lady who travels with
a carnival until she falls in love with
nice lad in small town, and who
finally, after many difficulties, is
found to be the rightful heiress to
fortune.
Even that tale couldn't become bor-
ing with Mr.. Fields on hand. If the
rumors that he may have to retire
from the films are true, it will be sad
world, indeed, for watching this ami
able clown commit his foolishness is
one Of the major pleasures of life. In
Poppy" he starts the customers roll
ing in the aisles in the first reel, and
from there on he has field day, and
that isn't meant as pun. He scores

and played by Wheeler and Woolsey.
While THE Green Pastures" is in
good taste, is well cast and intelligent
ly directed as a picture, it does fall
trif1e short in one respect. The
warmth, the intimate sympathy that
existed between audiences and the
stage performers is somewhat lacking.
This is a condition arbitrarily i'm
posed by the nature of the cinema as
a medium, and is not to be blamed
on anything other than the fact that
it is impossible to get contact and by
play via the silver screen that cast
can build up in the more flexible
medium of the stage. Nevertheless
the approach to this alternately gay
and solemn fable is so intensely
human, so alive with humor and salty
wisdom that it may by no means be
accused of being a cold potato.

IS minutes for the safes to open, with
the police certain to be on their way
bearing machine guns, tear gas and
handouts. They can't endure stand
ing, guns in hand. while canny pro-
duct of the machine age thumbs its
metallic nose at man, custodians of
money and would be custodians alike.
DELAYED action locks are clocks
fitting over the dial The banker
winds up the timepiece, usually set for
a lapse of Is minutes and when the
time has passed the clock head is re-
movable and the combination lock is
in position to be worked
Since the average successful hold-up
takes from one and half to three
minutes, forced opening vaults under
firearms, possible shootings and all, it
can be seen that the time lock severely
handicaps thieves.
Robbers are impatient by tempera-
ment, it seems. They like to scoop UP
things and be off. Raymond can only
recall two instances in which gunner
accepted the challenge of the dignifed
notices announcing the presence of de-
layed action locks to those it might
concern.
In one hold-up the robbers waited
silently almost the full Is minutes
without an interruption. But two
hysterical stenographers, weeping and
wringing their hands in a corner, so
got on the bandits nerves that they
left in disgust. 1t happens that the
robbery might have terminated Sue
cessfully in that case, if the hold-up
men had had more stamina, Raymond
says.
Delayed action locks have only one
disadvantage. If some one started the
clock, and then got busy and forgot
about it, carload of bandits arriving
fortuitously that day would find the
job a pushover. 1t hasn't happened.
SO far as Raymond knows, but as a
precaution time lock has been manu-
factured that relocks itself if not
opened three minutes after the clock
has run down.
Police may be summoned to the
scene of robbery by dialing specific
combination on your safe. When forced
to open his safe the owner dials head
quarters first, without clamor except at
the station house. Then he dials his
combination, hands over his money
and the law retrieveS it at the door.
Burglars who know about this de-
vice are jittery about forcing people to
open their safes, Raymond says
Science has also made it impossible
to get locked in a vault, forcing the
predating of all horror and strangula-
ton stories on that subject. Some one
thought up a contrivance that projects
a wedge of steel against the door, pre-
venting it from closing further than
a fraction of an inch shut. And it
won't reopen. The bandit can't enter,
probably with irritation, and drag you
out. when he discovers that he can't
barricade you in the vault.
The victim showed inside a vault
may not only get plenty of air, but he
may sit down on a stack of thousand
dollar bills and smoke cigarette while
the robbery is being completed outside,
if he is careful where he throws his
cigarette stubs.

lures" which would have been in
evitable even if he had assumed only
the part of De Lawd. Ingram'S
characterization is sincere, studious
and quite as effective as one could eX-
pect from a youngish man required to
transform himself into an aged, highly
spiritual and at the same time
benevolently human lord of all the
air and the earth. The support
afforded by an all-colored cast is
uniformly satisfactory and the sing
ing of the Hall johnson Choir is
superb.
With such a long and superlative
screen entertainment on its bill, the
Earle could not be expected to throw
in Eddie Duchin and the four Marx
brothers on the stage for good measure.
The vaudeville half of the program
consists of some mild but acceptable
turns known as the Twentieth Century
Revue, the Three Kanes, Larry Blake
and Refs and Dunn.
