''Fl0RIAN" E BEING SHOWN,
 CAPITOL FILM
Spectacular Sequences, Ringing on World War,
 Produced on Screen

A laundering cavalcade of world turmoil and the collapse of an em- pire, against which is traced a tender romance, is now showing at the Capitol Theatre, in "F'lorian,' ong-heralded adaptation of Felix Salten's famous novel of the fall of the Hapsburgs following the World War.
 Filled with spectacular sequences showing the pomp of Imperial Aus tria before the war, the picture follows the nations fate through the World War, revolution, and col lapse of the Empire, tracing their effects on pair of lovers and a magnificent stallion, once the steed of the Emperor
 Robert Young, as groom in the Imperial stables, and Helen Gilbert new acting discovery, fall in love despite their difference in station, drawn together by mutual love for the horse. The girl, royal duchess. is hetrothed to an archduke, played by Lee Bowman, by order of the Emperor tReginald Oven The archduke has an affair with a ballerina, played by exotic Trina Baronova, brought to the studio from Europe for the picture. The war, revolution and fall of the Hapsburg dynasty wipe away social barriers and solve the problem of the lovers.
 The picture brings to the screen an amazing horse actor in Flor ian Lippizan or Imperial horse presented by the Austrian Govern ment to Maria Jeritza, opera star. The animal is seemingly human in it's intelligence.

COMEDY BEING FEATURED NOW,
 10TH CENTURY
Those Were the Days" Is RoIIi1king Story of Het-
 fie College Days

When George Fitch wrote his famous Siwash Stories for the Sat- urday Evening Post, he couldn't have had one eye on Hollywood, which was just beginning to feel growing pains. Nor could he have had an idea that his yarns would be adapted in grand style for the screen as Those Were the Days, the new Paramount comedy TO- nance which came last night to the Century and is to be seen for the last two times tonight.
 With William Holden Bonita Granville, Ezra Stone, Judith Bar rett and Vaughn Chaser heading the cast, Those Were the Days" shapes up as a successful screen synthesis of all the Fitch stories. The cast brings the famous Siwash characters to life gloriously, shows them at their prankful best Hold n, as the renowned "Petey' Sim mons, Miss Granville, as the girl ne courts, Stone as Allie Bangs Eoldens fellow prankster, Miss Barrett as Allies girl. and Glaser IS Judge Scroggs are all the living, breathing counterparts of the char acters as he described them.
 The story of this picture need not be told in any detail to con- vince the moviegoer that the pie ture is worth seeing. It is suf-
 icient to say that it starts with Petey arriving at college as a Freshman, and starting right off on a hectic career which leads him to upsetting trollies, annoying girls, battling sophomores and in- dulging in every kind of mischief which college boys of a robust era could devise.

 In Sergeant York" the Gary Cooper film, audience old-timers may not recognize an old familiar blackface-now washed as white as the minstrel shows it once made happier.
 Lee CLasses) White, now 52, has stored away his blackface and is trying for character niche in the movies. Pictures, he says, did away with his speciality Minstrelsy needed intimate theaters, not pie ture palaces, and it lost it's footing when the loudspeaker era dawned. In his year here 'Lasses, who got the name from his fondness for hot cakes and syrup, has appeared in 20 pictures and he thinks he's doing well.
 1t mas been five years since he took out minstrel show con- densed for picture houses = and 12 years since he had real show on the road. but for four years down in Nashville he had a minstrel program on the air.
 Lasses today is a plump bright-eyed, stocky little fellow with the map-of Ireland face behind his temporary red whiskers. In Ser geant York" he plays the noun tain mail-carrier who travels mule back and sings mountain music.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, April 3. - Hollywood is getting along. There is no stopping progress.
 Once q take the word of a cyn- ical friend, doubtless dyspeptlc) there were producers who made pictures with no idea what they were doing--from start to finish.
 Today there are couple of pie lures in progress whose producers have everything in hand except one-the finish. They have ideas on that score, too, but they haven't made up their minds.
 Tom, Dick and Harry" is one. George Murphy, Burgess Mere dith and Alan Marshall are the three men in Ginger Rogers life. Ginger can't decide which to marry. You won't know until the end of the picture which she i chooses-and to make the sus- pense genuine, Ginger isn't know ing either. Neither is anybody else as the shooting progresses. It's to be decided later.
 "The Night of January l6' IS the other. Ellen Drew is on trial al- ready for murdering somebody, but who has been murdered hasn't been decided yet. The killing occurs al 1 the start of the film, but the pro- ducer hasn't selected the victim In the play, on which the script E based, the audience by jury vote had to decide the guilt or innocence i of the heroine, thus leaving hei fate in doubt from performance tc performance.
 l The screen play, which has changed the plot considerably E now has half a dozen possible endings from which one will b' chcsen-but not before it's de cided who is to be killed.
 So here's Ginger not knowing whom shes to marry, and Ellel not knowing whom she's killed and the. suspense is killing us all If Robert Taylor were Tom Q
 Dick or Harry, there'd be n doubt, but with trio like Mur phy, Meredith and Marshall, non of them fore- ordained girl-win ners, Ginger has a problem. K. lens is, on the whole, simpler She knows. at least, that the kllie is not going to be Robert Preston
