About as powerful melodrama as the screens have reflected in a considerable period is San Quen- tin, ~the First National production laid in and about the famous Cali fornia penitentiary which had it's first local showing yesterday at the Coliseum Theatre.
 San Quentin Pat OBrien is cast as Captain of the Yard Bar ton MacLane as the man whose job he takes and who hates him for it. Humphrey Bogart as desperate prisoner; Joseph Sawyer as an- other; Joseph King as the Warden.
 Breaks for freedom? Certainly
 Yet at the same time there runs throughout the stern tale a nice note of romance. with the lovely, red-haired Ann Sheridan its in- spiration.
 Pat O'Brien is seen first as an eX-Army captain appointed to command of the prison yard in the hope he can, with square dealing, maintain discipline, which has slack ened through the old-school meth ods of MacLane, who has been de- noted.

CINDERELLA BUSINESS IS
 PICKING UP
By ROBBIN cOONS

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, May 30-The Cinderella business is picking up.
 For a time Hollywood wouldn't even look at the fabled heroine un- less she'd been in a Broadway hit, toured in stock, or at least brought some little theater experience with her to Hollywood.
 The old silent film custom of looking behind five-and dime coun- ters, in restaurant kitchens, in barber shops for potential movie stars was forgotten People like that-the studios said arily-couldn't talk. You had to have training, and long years of it, to be a talkie actor or actress.
 They were forgetting that Garbo once worked in barber shop, and that Clara Bow was a Brooklyn kid with her picture in a beauty con- test. Each in her way, was a Gin derella, just as later on was Alice White, studio script clerk.
 Last year Lana Turner got break just a school kid spotted in a soda fountain by talent scout Then Margaret Tallichet, a studio stenog, got a boost from Carole Lombard and a contract.

TEXAS TYPES
By JACK STINNETT AP Feature Service Writer

NEW YORK, May 30. = In the night club and theatre chorus busi- ness, all tall girls work.
 Not only is 6-foot height an advantage to chorus girl, but the demand for really tall chorines far exceeds the supply.
 The reason is that tall girls are more stunning on the stage than short ones, say chorus directors. They wear clothes better, are more graceful, and are more command ing in appearance. Their duties rarely involve real dancing, but by weaving through rhythmic d lane e patterns, they lend glamor to the chorus numbers.
 Chorus Equity estimates there are 5000 girls in the United States capable of stepping into chorus jobs, with probably 1000 of them living in New York City. Yet Georgie Hale, producer and dance director, seeking six-footers for a chorus to send to London, could find only four.
 Heights Not All
 There are only 18 chorus girls in New York six feet tall or tall er,' Hale says, and they are con- stantly employed.
 of course, it takes more than just stature. Beauty and good fig ures are requisites but if tall girl is sufficiently endowed, she won't have to worry"
 Last year he sent a chorus of 16 abroad. The girls were all about five feet, three inches tall. Both on the continent and in London, the only complaints were that the girls were too short.
 "Englishmen like 'em tall" says Hale, because the tall American show girl sets a mark that the British would like to have his ladies shoot at Most English woman are tall, you know, but those with grace and beauty are the excep- tions, not the rule"
 Big and Little
 This year Hale's chorus is com posed of eight girls of average height and four who are six feet or more.
 The four are: Bunny Waters, Santa Monica, Calf, "the tallest showgirl in New York" feet, 21A inches, two years in the chorus and never out of a job yet"
 Anita Arden, Brooklyn, feet, ? inches, who started work in Billy Roses "Jumbo" three years ago

THE BOOK OF ALASKA WILD FLOWERS
By ADA WHITE SHARPLEs


 Residents and visitors to Alaska have had the same experience of seeing whole fields of wild flowers with no book or guide to aid in iden- tifying them.
 With more than one hundred and fifty photographs, the book IS a thing of beauty as well as a prac- tical guide.
 The book is also a clever solution of the gift problem; what to give that is useful, beautiful, lasting and economical.

Last February she was hurt in
