La, which is all important in the
film, have finally come to light.
When Sam Jaffe had completed
all the miles of scenes Of the role,
it was suddenly discovered that
his makeup for the part left much
to be desired now, when a charac-
ter is supposed to be five hundred
or so years old, you must be per-
feet, so they sent for Jaffe to re-
turn for retakes. Alas, he had
gone merrily off to Europe. Pressed
for time, they put Walter Con-
molly in the part. Shortly after,
they also signed David Terrence,
and it was Immediately assumed
they we're doing the Lama for the
third time. This was wrong, as
you will see when you watch him
as the Prime Minister in the fin
ished picture. Meanwhile, their
cables, which had been pursuing
Sam Jaffe all over Europe, finally
caught up with him, and he rushed
back. They stopped with Con-
molly, with apologetic explana-
tions, and went on again with
Jaffe from scratch.

Is
Revived

Another much-requested picture
returns to the Little Theater Sun
day. It is the screen version Of
Eugene O'Neill's Pulitzer Prize
play, Strange Interlude," star
ring Norma Shearer and Clark
Gable. This was one of the out
standing productions of 1928,
and one that was considered suf-
ficiently important to road-show
before it was released to the pop
ular price houses.
The picture aroused almost as
much controversy as the play;
opinion was sharply divided as to
whether it was superior or inferior
to the original, whether the use
Of spoken asides was more or less
effective on the screen, or whether
or not the picture version should
have been attempted at all!

This is all told with dramatic
vigor and conviction. 1t is di-
rected with fortnight purpose
and it is acted with sincerity and
power by an able cast.
BOGART is SUPERB
Humphrey Bogart conjures a
tragic portrait of an inherently
good man, netted by a vicious
force and held by fear in its
grasp. A splendid piece Of acting.
Erin O'Brien Moore, as the I'm
happy wife who bears the brunt
of the tragedy. gives a sterling
performance. Dick Foran, Ann
Sheridan, John Litel, Helen Flint,
Dickie Moore and Joseph Sawyer
are others who serve with dis
tinction.
BLACK Legion" is shock-packed
celluloid and disturbing in it's re.
lentleSs truth. But those who
like a picture with real backbone
will not pass up this feature which
opens on the Earle Theater screen

THE ANSWER

THE ANSWER
"YOur idea of patriotism
and AmericaniSm is hideOuS
to all decent citizens. 1t viO-
lates every protection guar
anteed them by the Bill Of
Rights, contained in our Con
StitutiOn. The Bill of Rights
assuring to us all freedom Of
religious opinion and security
of person and property
against the attack of illegal
or extra-legal forces is the
cornerstone of true American
ism and must be jealousy
guarded if we are to remain
a free people. We cannot per-
NIT racial or religious hatreds
to be stirred up so that inno-
cent citizens become the vic.
tins of accusations brought
in secrecy. We cannot per-
nit tribunals to pass judg.
mentS or puniShmentS to be
inflicted by a band Of hooded
terrOriStS. Unless all these il
legal and extra-Iegal forces
are ruthleSsly wiped out, this
nation may as well abandon
its Constitution, forget its
Bill of Rights, tear down its
courts of justice and revert to
the barbarity of government
by primitive violence. This

DEEDS OF VIOLENCE
It took courage to make BLACK
Legion" for rowing bands Of night
prowlers still exist in some COM
munities, and the recent Michigan
outrageS actually inspired the
screen fiction. To be sure fore
word reminds that all characters,
situations and locales are purely
fictitious, but the parallel with re-
cent headlines is difficult to eS-
cape.
BLACK Legion" tells the story Of
Frank Taylor, auto factory me-
chanic. He had a good j9b, a de-
voted wife and son, a second
hand flivver and such content
ment as normal village life pro-
Vides.
Then a fellow worker, Dom
browski, got the foreman's job
which Taylor coveted and eX-
pected. Blindly he reasons that
but for the foreigner he might
have won advancement, the new
car and vacuum cleaner.
Taylor becomes a fruitful sub
ject for the poison arguments Of
the Black Legion, ostensibly aimed
to keep out foreigners and protect
American workers, to fight cut
price drug stores and anything
else that suits it's fancy.
He dons the black robe, with
its skull and crossbones, and
takes the deSpicable oath while
a pistol is stuck in his ribs. Here
he recites the actual Black Legion
oath which bound him to silence
and secrecy in protecting deeds

Around, about, and in and out.
Paramount are certainly going the
limit on the new Claudette Col
bert starring picture, II Met Him
in Paris" which Wesley RuggleS
is now readying for the cameras.
The fact that they are taking
q company and crew Of over 200,
in special trains, to Sun Valley,
Idaho, is the least Of their expen-
ditureS.
So that weather can't interrupt
them, the studio is constructing a
complete sound stage with all
equipment and a full laboratory,
right on the grounds in that icy
valley, and shooting can go right
on under cover. They are con-
structing chalets, shops, bits OF
streets and the like taken from
photographs Of the actual village
Of st. Moritz in Switzerland,
which will be matched in, in the
completed picture with actual
shots taken in st. Moritz.
And while we are on such a cold
and snowy subject, the injury OF
the week occurred to Paulette God
dard, who tried a too obstreperous
bit Of skiing up at Lake Arrowhead
recently, and as q result came
bouncing down the hill. AS a re
suit, she has as many bandages as
a mummy, and her enthusiasm is
dashed.
The smallest injury Of the week
occurs in a new Universal film
"She's Dangerous" in which the
star, Tala Birell, after falling
thousands Of feet in a plane, and
being thrown clear when it bursts
into an inferno Of flames, Is seer
in the very shots in bed, display
ing only a bandaged finger.
Speaking Of Miss Birell, 1t Is
pleasant to see the pluck, and the
development she has shown. With
a complete nosedive Of her first
career in America, when she was
Universal's Garbo, she picked ur
the pieces, took roles with small
companies, drilled herself, and to
day is again in line for stardom
at Universal. She puts in g
splendid performance in this pic
ture.
There Is now to be song writ
