THE screen gives continuity
to the story.
"The cinematic stage can
show Romeo and his friends
setting out for the CapuIet ball,
then show the ballroom. In
Shakespeare's time, as it ap-
pears from stage direction,
Romeo and his friends marched
about the stage to indicate
their procession through the
streets of Verona to Capulet'S
castle. The screen shows them
actually going through the
street, entering the portals of
the castle. and being escorted
through tOrch-lit Railways to
the ballroom. Which gives the
stronger impression of reality?
"On the stage, the riot in the
streets of Verona, which opens
the play, is confined to one
small spot. The screen, without
classifying Shakespeare's inten-
ton, but rather for the first
time doing it justice, shows it
as a great outbreak, menacing
the peace of the whole city.
"The audience must, above
all things, be made to feel the
intense hatred existing between
the two factions of Verona.
Romeo is a Montague and Juliet
a Capulet, and those two hate
each other with a deadly hatred

HOLLYWOOD, June 6.-Prof
William Strunk, jr., the genia
and scholarly Shakespearean au
thority from Cornell University
who has been in Hollywood fol-
the past year, is delighted with
the motion picture as a medium
for prese Romeo and

its beauty.
"After seeing the careful
preparation that went into the
picture and watching the &C

to its audiences as Shakespeare
intended his romance to be
presented.
''It shows every scene that
Shakespeare wrote, something
the modern stage is unable
to do.
"It unquestiOnably gives a
ShakeSpearean scene greater
depth and scope, without add
ing a single word of spurious
dialogue.
"My primary consideration
and reason for being in Holly
wood has been the assurance of
a script that would be faithful
to Shakespeare. That this aim
was realized is to the credit of
Irving G. Thalberg, who has pro-
duced the story at MetrO-G Gold

and Leslie Howard as the fam

Harlow Says It'll Be a Blonde,
Brunette or Groy-Hoired
If Boss Says So"

OLLYW GOD, June G..
Jean Harlow has no qualms
about changing the color Of her
hair a dozen times-if her charac-
terizations demand it.
1.-THE color of hair has nothing
to do with ability or personality"
said Miss Harlow.
And to prove it, she recalled
the following incidents:
She was a platinum blonde in
"Hell's Angels" her first big
screen success.
She was red-haired in Red
Headed Woman"
She became a "brownette" for
her role in Riff Raft" and re-
tains that natural color of hair
in her newest Metro-G oldwyn-
Mayer picture, "Suzy."
II was red-haired in Red
Headed Woman, because the
color of the hair was a part of
the character. 1t was a role that
could not be played by blonde.

Take "Under Two Flags"
as an example. In it you will
find shots where Claudette
Colbert is photographed to
anything but the best adj
vantage. You may notice,
without being a sharp OBJ
server, that Miss Colbert in
some scenes has been cap
tured by the camera with
her high cheek bones accen-
tuated, and in others where
she looks like square head.
Now Claudette Colbert is

has been described as "a

These records were impoundcd
when it was charged they were

that they showed motorists had

In a number of these cases, in

had deposited collateral to cover
the fine and costs in the more
serious charge and had been told
they did not have to appear for

Charles Hamilton Cowne wanted
to see the world, and so he joined
the Marine Corps, and saw the
world and plenty Of excitement as
well.
Then in 1892 he joined the Met
ropolitan Police Department and
had plenty of excitement for the
next SO years until he was retired.
One Of his narrowest escapes was
in Goat Alley, shortly after he had
joined the force, when a tough
armed with a razor attacked him,
but he managed to disarm the man
and take him prisoner.
Another time he was attacked
by a mob in Bloodfield, but by
drawing his revolver managed to
disarm and overpoWer the leader.
