Slim Ann Harding.

Returns to Film Lots
HOLLYWOOD, June Is.

hOLSL1 WOOD, June ID.
-@ HE great trouble with actresses who
return to the movies after long
absences, Ann Harding believes, Is
- they are unwilling to make the
proper transition. They want to
play the same roles of their youth and they
refuse to face the truth-that they are grow
ing older. And while there is still place
for them as mothers or in character parts,
they are completely lost in comparison to real
youth.
Skinned down to 1872 pounds, with hair as
taify colored and face unlined, Ann, very
beautiful woman, could be convincing IN
young roles.
She is back again in an M-G-M thriller,
Eyes In the Night and is so like the Ann
used to see often-it is exactly as if'she had
never been away.

Retains Sly Charm

Naturally they have doctored
up The Gold Rush" but not
enough to spoil any of its orig
inal sly arm, its marvellous
mimicry and its subtle pathos.
Chaplin has done a remarkable
job in the insertion of narration
and>musical score here without
detracting from the appe
which first made fans rush for
The Gold Rush."
The dancing bun" scene, for
example is twice as amusing
when set to music and the quips
which Chaplin tells are directed
so that you laugh with the char
acter, rather than at him.
If the public in general goes
for this as they have IN the key
cities where the picture Is being
shown, there is no doubt that
the famous comedian will do the
same kind of job on Shoulder

at Loop Theaters

WHILE the phrase motion
w picture classic" is as over
worked as a man on a 24-hour
shift, 1t can aptly be applied to
two of the leading loop trans
actions which have been brought
back for reconsideration this
week.
Surely The Gold Rush." at
the Palms-State is a classic of
the silent era. No other star
of the quiet flicker period occu-
pied a more important position
than Charles Chaplin. and The
Gold Rush" is probably his best
known of all Of his pantimime
masterpieces.

NEW CARS VOTED BY FIRE BOARD
Commissioners in Special Meeting Approve of
 Recommendations

Authorization for the purchase of 6 Plymouth special deluxe sedan for Fire Marshal Dennis J. Lahey and an International truck for Cap- tain Robert c. Schlosser of the Bureau of Fire Alarms was granted yesterday at a special meeting of the Board of Fire Commissioners.
 The new truck will replace an old vehicle which has been in serv- Ice II years and netted a turn-in allowance of only $69. Net price of the new truck, which will have a utility body and a winch, is $1. 900.
 The fire marshal's old car brought a turn-in allowance of $275, mak- ing the net cost to the city $S53. Bids on the contracts were sub- mitted to the board by Purchasing Agent Martin J. Sweeney.
 Purchasing Agent Sweeney said there probably will be 8 delay of a month or more in obtaining the truck, as application must be made to the state WIPE board which, in turn, will have to pass it on to the authorities in Washington. He said he anticipated practically no delay in getting the marshal's car, as he need only apply to the local re- tioning board which, he expected, would give a decision within week at the most.
