HOOT GIBSON, BILL HART FIGURED BIG AT RODEO

HELD IN HOLLYWOOD (Continued from Page Ten)

sombrere, Indian coat and boots and It became him rather well.

Clara Bow celebrated the occasion by wearing a striking looking get-up Of orchid print frock, with orchid kid slippers and cute ankle sox of fuzzy angora wool. Spectators were cheated from seeing their favorite by a huge pair of black goggles she wore.

Following the rodeo, Hart had twenty guests for dinner, at his ranch. La Loma de Los Vlentes (Rill of the Ninda). The friendship between Clara Bow and Rex Bell, which has been causing so much commotion about Hollywood and questionings of both parties, still seems on. Clara bobbed her hair, she confessed at the Hart dinner table, wholly because Rex said he did not like it long as she had been wear­ing it.

Their friendship started when Rex worked lor a few weeks with Clara in her recent film, Sweetheart of the Navy. Whether this friendship will. become important enough to talk about seriously, remains to be seen. Hollywood is much interested, par­ticularly In view of the oft delayed marriage with Harry Rlchman which never has evenuated.

Whenever any of those at Hart's party mentioned the name of Rich-man, Clara's features assumed a pout of acute disinterest.

During the progress of the rodeo many scenes of the trick riding and roping were filmed by "Breezy" Eason, director of many of Hoot Gibson's pictures. They will be used to a forthcoming picture for P&the.

SUN-UP TO BE LAST OFFERING OF THE PLAYERS

Drama laid in Carolina mountains during the war; Nanette Lan­

caster plays widow A drama enacted within the small

confines of a cabin in the mountains of Western North Carolina, and differing widely from the average run of mod­e m plays, Sun-Up, by Lula Vollmer, has been chosen for the last major production of the season of the Studio Theater Players, by Jane M. Kaeler, director to open at the Studio School of the Theater, 545 Elmwood avenue, on Wednesday evening, May 21st.

The piece sets forth the stalwart emotions of a group of mountain people In June, 1917, when the long arm of the draft has begun to reach for young mountaineers to go to war —war that is to the Widow Cagle a large-sized fued in Prance, which probably is as far as 40 miles away, and to her son Rule, a dim vision of shooting to kill for the protection of his "wimen folks."

Miss Nanette Lancaster, supervisor of dramatics at East High School, well-known to patrons of the Studio Theater, will play the part of the Widow Cagle, made famous by Lucille La Verne on Broadway in 1923. The only other feminine role in the play play, that of Emmy Todd, the young mountain girl who gave up her lover to the war, happy because he was not "afeered," will be played by Miss Virginia Butler, whose characteriza­tion of Amy, wife of The Show-Of f in the Studio Theater Players* produc­tion of the play of that name, the first of the year, will be remembered.

Rufe Cagle, the boy who goes to war, will be played by J. C. Lindley. Other men In the cast will be Clifford Jones, Sherman Enoch, Elliott Ber-ger and Henry Daniel.

Sun-Up will close the season for the Studio Theater Players excepting for a group of one-act plays to be given sometime in June.

THREE OF THE NEW PLAYS GUARANTEED

TO CURE INSOMNIA (Continued from Page Ten)

to buy her entertainment, and the play closed last week.

Stevenson Story In Play Form The best of the author-produced

dramas is Charles H. Brown's adapt­ation of Stevenson's The Pavilion on the Links. He cals his drama The Traitor and has made of It a diffuse and ineffective melodrama that, In this particular day of a truer realism, will have difficulty interesting a city audience.

You may remember the Stevensor story. It is concerned with the sonv times weird adventures of an eccen­tric Londoner, named Huddleston, who steals the funds of an Italian revolutionary society. When the Cabaneri begins to close in on him Huddleston bargains with one, North-mour. to transfer him, his daughter and his loot to a lonely pavilion in northern Scotland. In payment he promises Northmour a clear field with the Huddleston daughter, Clar*.

In the pavilion, with heavy weather outside and the treacherous quick­sands no more than a half block away, Clara finds another and handsomer protector in young Cassilis, and the Cabaneri still threatens.

Finally, Huddleston, realizing that it Is curtain time, walks out onto the links with a fine gesture of courage and is shot. Northmour, not to be outdone in gallantry, follows the Cabaneri Into Italy, and Clara Is left to her Cassilis.

•A palpable fiction and at its best, none too good for Stevenson. In play form the Interest" is scattered and the structure wabbly. The opening night one discouraged spectator shouted "Boor" and all the other sympathetic but fairly polite spectators giggled. Which did not help the play.

Features an Italian Star A second author-producer adven­

ture was entitled O, Professor, and must, I think, have been about a pro­fessor of philology who is accused of a theft. I could hear but little of it, and what I beard was badly spoken.

Quitting the ranks of the educators, this professor marries his secretary and puts all his savings in her name. The secretary's brother, who was a seven-months' baby and should have known better, according to the text (I suspect the author, an Italian phy­sician who has adopted the name of Edward Harris as a protection, is also a seven months" child), the secretary's brother invests his sister's savings and loses all.

Then sister and brother combine I their talents as detectives, uncover

a scandal In the life of another and more influential professor, and by threatening exposure induce him to give the first professor a traveling job at $20,000 a year.

"This one also went to the store­house.

evil influenceg seeking to destroy humanity. N# other symbol conveys menace more oonvincingly to the uni­versal mind.

The earliest «f folklore extols mythi­cal heroes because they had slain dragons, creatures of Imagination, of ferocity that made them the most dangerous in existence.

Ancient Babylon had its myth of Tiamat, a great she-dragon, killed by one Morodach. Greek lore has Hercu­les, Perseus and Apollo killing dragons, and becoming heroes. Even in Chris­tian records, the dragon is an em­bodiment of warning evil, as witness the feats of S t George and St. Mich­ael. But it is the Oriental mind ths$ the dragon 1$ given the most mi-" portance.

All of which brings this tale to the point that that's why Florence Ryer-son and Lloyd Corrigan, who adapted Sax Rohmer'i Fu Manchu story for the talkie now at the Buffalo, chose the dragon as the symbol of warning used by the plotting medico, well por­trayed by Warner Oland.

It's unique, perhaps, that an out­standing Chinese character on the screen should be done by an actor of Scandinavian birth.

A new wrinkle in show business ap­pears to have been adopted by RKO, the big vaudeville chain, which has a group of college girls working part time, who go around to the circuit's New York houses weekly, collecting data on acts and theater conditions generally.

The young women were chosen from a group of Columbia students without any previous show-business experi­ence. To each was supplied a set of questionnaire*, and out they went. They are mating their reports to the chief assistant to the head of the chain.

Under cynosure are lights out front, appearance of lobbies and interior, demeanor and appearance of cashiers, ticket-takers and ushers; stage and house lighting, quality of orchestra music and other details of what may be regarded as of casual interest, i n reviewing acts, the co-eds are re­quired to give synopses, opinions of lines and actions, lighting, costumes and how the audiences receive the players.

It all looks like a follow-up of the general censorship idea which seems t o have been initiated a few months ago and which has resulted in many instances in cleaning up dirt pur­veyors.

[ * • • Color Film War Looms

There appears to be impending a war over color in the movies. At the moment Technicolor has a virtual monopoly, but there's another organ­ization, Colorcraft, which has Just built a huge laboratory down Gotham way with an annual production capacity of 10,000,000 feet of colored film. William Hoyt Peck is the sponsor of the procesa,

Peck, incidentally, already has been a factor in the talkies. He is the in­ventor of the nitrogen lamp to make colors photograph more naturally. And it happens to be a noiseless lamp, so the whole Industry has adopted it.

In a Technicolor scene, the footage is twice as great as it would be in ordinary monotone. That is because two film frames are exposed simul­taneously. Behind the Technicolor camera lens is a prism which splits the scene into to identical images. One reaches the negative through a red filter, while the other passes through a green filter. The negative shows two images one bottom side up, the other right side up.

A lengthy chemical process Is In­volved In making the positive of this double negative which is printed on one side of the film. A hardened positive film Is treated with hot water before a green etching is recorded on it. In the same manner a red etching is impressed, though neither color is absolute red or green. Those two etchings are the matrices from which about 100 prints are reproduced.

In the Colorcraft process, the film­ing goes on practically as with mono­tone photography. Peck's principal service will be as developer and printer.

By placing two panchromatic nega­tives in the camera, emulsion to emul­sion, i t is not necessary to employ an optical prism to split the image. "A prism," says Peck, "causes a 10 per cent loss of illumination, so It is possible for Colorcraft cameramen to photograph studio sets with virtually the same lighting used for black-and-white photography."

The film used in Colorcraft is double-coated stock, toughened by a process that makes it four times as durable as ordinary film. Two nega­tives are used, one for each side of the spectrum. In the photographic process, various densities are built up which later determine the color.

The Colorcraft plant has a printer which excludes the sound track until the final operation. Film is finished at the rate of 2,100 feet an hour. All colors are held in chemically and cannot be washed out. Prints are said to be wiiform because the silver | image is changed to a dye image by a quantitative chemical method.

What keeps the colories from being entirely natural is their lack of a third primary. So far, only two pri­maries, red and blue, can be repro­duced. If the third primary, yellow, is ever ftwnd, color photography should simmlate nature so faithfully that realism In the movies will be; nothing short of spectacular. With the building of special theater audi­toriums to accommodate much larger j screens, cinematics will advance c n ; three distinct fronts: color, sound and j wide-angle photography.

DR. FU MANCH AGAIN IS SEEN AT THE BUFFALO

Warner Oland plays title role once more in Further Adventures;

Kahn heads revue Shea's Buffalo this week is present­

ing on the screen The New Adven­tures of Dr. Fu Manchu, pictarrization of Sax Rohmer's novel, with Warner Oland again in the role. On the stage is the Pubiix revue, Dancing Keys, with Art Kahn, "Monarch of the Keys," as guest master of ceremonies, the Six Maxellos and other ejntertain-ers. Rubinoff, maestro of the baton, is making his farewell appearances, on the stage with his violin and in the "pit" conducting the orchestra in Living Masters. Henry B. [Murtagh,

at the organ, is playing j Don't Be Afraid, I'm Here.

In The Mysterious Dr. Fu( Manchu, the Oriental villain died through the agency of poison which he took him­self to prevent being captured.

But in the new picture the crafty Medico is shown to be not a dead one, but a very much alive plotter. How did Fu Manchu come back to life to continue his vicious plans for the death of Dr. Jack Petrie, only sur­vivor of a great English family? That is one of the interesting incidents in the early sequences of the film.

Paramount has cast the same play­ers in the principal supporting roles which they interpreted in the original Fu Manchu picture. O. p. Heggie again is seen as the Inspector. Arthur and Neil Hamilton are cajst as the sweethearts. William Austin again has the comedy role.

Art Kahn, the guest master of cere­monies in Pubiix revue, Dancing Keys, hails from Chicago, where tor several seasons he presided on the stages of various theaters. The Six Maxellos, the acrobatic troupe that is cp-featured with Kahn, come from Germany where for an entire season j they were starred at the Berlin Wlntergarden. Following came a tour thjat carried them through France, Spain, Russia, Africa and South America! In 1922, they made their first appearance in this country. John Maxeulo, leader of the troupe, is said to be capable of executing acrobatic feats that no other person has been able to dupli­cate. Others in the personnel are Nelson and Knight, comedians; Town-send and Bold, dancing artists; Lucille Peterson, soprano; Al and Jim Johnston, masters of the Jxylophone, and the Foster Girls ballet.

Paramount Sound News] and other film subjects are added.

rpAKE it from Jack Miley, there Is a x guy on Broadway with a racket unlike those of all his competitors. He Invents things. Then he peddles them and makes enough to live nicely.

"In a closet of his room at a West 54th street hotel he has 104 inven­tions. He always keeps that" closet locked and guards it. In fact, the chambermaid believes it is full of booze. Not so long ago he invented a chewing gum that will cure a head­ache. He installed slot machines in the dlme-a-dance halls around Times Square.

"The flappers and their boy friends, however, complained. The gum cured them but it didn't taste like medicine. The inventor then changed the for­mula. He cut out a fruit flavor and gave it an acidy taste. That pleased the flappers and their boy friends.

"Then the ballroom operators com­plained. The gum stuck to their wax­en floors. The inventor wasn't puz­zled. He is now changing his formula again, making the gum non-skid.

"This guy invented a trick carbu­retor for a Ford. All the dealers were set to buy it. His fortune was to be made at last. Then Henry Ford de­cided to change his frlvver and brought out a new model. So the fel­loe put his carburetor back in the hotel closet.

'fHowever, this gent has a hobby which is as interesting as his profes­sion. He hypotizes people and Is a mind reader. He won't take any money for doing this, for he claims it gives him pleasure. He hynotized a fellow In the Claridge Hotel not long ago, and couldn't bring him out of it. They had to call the house doctor.

"At present tbia chap is being tak­en up by the Park avenue set. At a party there recently he told a society dowager something about herself, when he was in the middle of his mind reading act, and she fainted. Her husband followed this fellow all the way home and wanted him to tell him confidentially If he was really the father of bis own child."
