in charge for its transfer to the

an old-fashioned melodramatic

might be because you can guess
its climax long before it comes and
its hot weather hardships are
routine.
A BUSY ACTOR
Within a fortnight His Broth

to Loew's Palace Theater and
more about the details at that

again a young medico. This time
one who loves to gamble too much
for his own good, finally takes up
his Serums and his research in
the jungle country, makes a name
for himself and straightenS out
his romantic tangle after some
highly emotional misunderstood
ings.
Robert Taylor is present enough
to permit his extensive and fair
audience to enjoy rapturouS
glimpSeS of their hero. His future.
I think, is bright, because, while
the ladies enjoy ecstatic moments
in his screen presence, Actor Tay-
lor is virile type, with no visible
traits of a drawing room sissy.
Men like him for that.
When Mr.. Taylor completes his
Carlo assignment as Armand in

has appeared in six full-length
features in IL months. This is
surely rushing a favorite. but

Evelyn Kaye has the distinction OF
being the concert mistress and
violinist for the Spitalny orches-
ira. Billed simply as Maxine, this
young singer possesses one Of the
lowest vocal ranges to be heard
in long time.
The maestro is of Russian birth,
where he attended the musical
conservatory along with Mischa
Elman, Leon BelaSco, Emil Cole
man and other musical dignitaries.
Upon coming to this country, his
musical talent came to the surface
and he obtained employment with
one of the symphony orcheStraS.
He was able at the time to play
the clarinet and the piano, to
which instruments he has since
added the violin and flute. Every
member of the Spitaly family for
the last four generations has been
a musician. His brother, Leopold,
conducts an orchestra in Chicago.

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 17.-Dear
Diary. Mary Aston has received
so much front page publicity in
the last couple of weeks that eX-
hibitors are yelling for Sam Gold
wyn to hurry up and release
"Dodsworth," in which she plays
prominent role. Due to all the
headlines it will probably be
billed now as Mary Aston in
"DodSworth," with Walter Huston
and Ruth Chatterton. This should
squelch for all time the rumor
that Sammy had thought of cut
ting her completely out of the
pic.
Warner Brothers, for their next
Max Reinhardt production, Dan
tom, would like very much to
borrow Clark Gable, and cast him
as the lead, take on Lee Tracy
as RobeSpierre, and also include
in the cast Basil Rathbone. Since
they are looking for a co-director
for Mr.. Reinhardt, how about Rex
Ingram, who is out here, who d.
rected "Scaramouche" and knows
more than a thing or two about
the period Of the French Revolu-
ton.

playing her as gamin of the
Paris cutters. That is, before she
grows up, and becomes a demimon-
dame. Alswise, if you have an
1847 Paris newspaper in your pos
session, send it on to MGM. To
be authentic, they even have
