dies, all to excellent results.

"Borriers" For
MET" Friday

Close to a million dollars was
spent in the making Of the eau
mont epic of railroad pioneering
Silent Barriers" which opens FIJI
day at the Metropolitan Theater
starring Richard Arlen with the
VienneSe actress, Lilli Palmer, and
Antoinette Collier.
The film was made entirely IN
the Canadian Rockies, requiring
the transportation of complete
motion picture studio equipment
5000 miles away from the home
studio and using thousands OF ex'
traS.
Sets built on location were the
most expensive ever to be made
away from home, including a com.
plete reproduction Of the town OF
Moodyville, and the construction
of a whole railway unit,
Milton RoSmer was the director
of this noteworthy production,

of Glen MacWilliams, Gaumont

rapher of the Swiss Alps, was in

good sense of comedy.
Another very pretty girl had the
misfortune to be afflicted with an
infected wisdom tooth, but took
comfort in her dentists prediction
that the swelling which marred
her beauty would disappear in a
day or two.
Most of the boys and girls had
chosen dramatics as a form of
self-expression in either school or
college, many had trained in the
local academies of the drama.
At least so per cent of the pretty
entries protested dancing expert
ence and almost as many had
either sang or spoken over the
radio.
THE FINAL TESTS
One little actress confessed to
this judge that he had reviewed"
her professionally, in his capacity
as critic, on at least two occasions.
Four of the entries had played
Juliet" in either school or col
lege productions, one actress in
embryo had been Lady Macbeth,
others had minor roles in Shakes
pearian productions.
There were artists models,
quite a few magnificent Speci-
mems of physical humanity who
had served as life guards, and a
score of the we'll set up male
entries admitted experience as
football players.
When the preliminary inspec-
ton was completed the entry
list had beer reduced to 80 Of
the most promising aspirantS.
These will appear today at Loew's
Capitol Theater for tests under
footlights and a further elimina-
ton will cut the applicants to 16
who will be voice and screen
tested with cameras and micro.
phones at the Capitol Theater
next week.
Director Eddie Carrier of M-G-M
arrived in Washington today to
supervise these final examinations.
The actual camera and sound reels
made here will be shipped to Holly
wood and the winner will be Sc,
lected from these entries, at the
studio.
There is every early indication
that Washington will have final
list who is destined to go places in
Hollywood, provided the fates are
