1 ing mighty well all along. The first film ever to tell a story was in the western pattern-"The Great Train Robbery" in 1903. The first series of pictures starring the same play CT were sage-brush shorts presenting Broncho Billy Anderson, beginning in 1907.
 The first three-reeler was Buff falo Bill" made in 1909 From those days until now approximately 60 per cent Of all movies produced have been Westerns-a ration that's al- most unbelievable for the present time unless you know that there are many small, independent companies which grind out nothing but six gun stuff.

 Never before, though, have there been so many big cowboy -and-In- jun flickers on the schedules of the major studios, and with so many top-flight stars who don't know the difference between cantle and a canter.
 Imagine Alice Faye playing Belle Starr and not looking startled when q gun goes off. Or Bette Davis, as Calamity Jane, drawling, Don't go fer yore shootin' arns, bub: I gotta bead on yore gizzard!" Those char acters will be the title roles in two future epics.
 Of course a lot of stars came up from westerns. Clark Gable made his first hit in "The Painted Desert" in 1880. Arizona Bound' and "Ne- vada" pointed the way for Gary Cooper.

TWO NAME STARS.
 POLL FILM LEADS
"The Son of Monte CristO" Starting Tomorrow Rated
 One of Years Best

An exciting and dramatic event in the history of motion pictures takes. place tomorrow at the Loew Poli Theater, where Edward Small's production of The Son of Monte Cristo" will be unreeled as one of the outstanding screen hits of the current season. Directed by the brilliantly talented Rowland V. Lee, who previously gave film fans the extremely successful "The Count of Monte Cristo," the new picture cas- fly scores as entertainment plus.
 The picture opens a four day en- gagement at Loew's Poli tomorrow. It is not only excellently and thrill lingly staged, 1t Is acted by a cast of topnotch actors who were chosen carefully for their special talents. Heading the lineup are Louis Hay ward and Joan Bennett, who play the starring roles, while featured in their support are George Sanders, Florence Bates, Lionel Royce, Clay ton Moore, Montague Love and many others.
 Hayward Is starred in the title role, playing daredevil, romantic audacious character with grace and verve; Miss Bennett is seen as the lovely and alluring Grand Duchess Zona, who is held captive in the mythical principality of Lichten- burg by its villianous and unscrupu- lous dictator, played by George San- ders. When the story opens, Zona is recklessly driving to Paris to plead for aid from Louis Napoleon. Her carriage is overtaken and she meets the Count of Monte Cristo, never guessing his real identity. Smitten with her dramatic beauty and charm, Cristo lets himself become involved in Zona's cause. His pres ence in Lichtenburg leads to many exciting complications and involves him in a number of exciting duel- ling scenes, providing the screen with some of the best swordplay yet photographed.
 On the same program is another smash hit, "Bowery Boy" with Den- his O'Keefe, Louise Campbell, Rog- CT Pryor and Jimmie Lydon. Here is the thrill-packed story of a youngster condemned to a life of crime in the famous Bowery sec- ton of New York.
 Attractions which will come to a close at Loew's Poll tonight are, "The Trial of Mary Dugan" with Laraine Day and Robert Young, and "Petticoat Politics" with the Hig- gins Family. If you haven't already seen this splendid smash hit screen program, plan to do so this evening,
