Already surfcited with queens of motion pic- tures and kings of finance the ad. dition of another seemed no reason to break forth in celebration. So bias.) Beverly yowncd, turned its head toward the mountains. pul. led its feet in from the sea and went back to sleep. For this sleepy place houses the estates of our famous movie stars. However, if one might peruse the real estate pages in the heel papers they would find that the renowned beauty and cinema. queen had pur- chased a beautiful English residence surrounded by four acres of land- scaped gardening and had paid $100,000 outright for the estate. The following day she began work on the First National picture “Declasse.” to be shown at the Bialto Theatre to- dny for a 3 day run. -- Scarcoly twenty years of age. Beverly Hills has become a. “gold mine.” It is the use old story. When first laid out the lots sold for a song. Since then millions have changed hands for choice bits overlooking the mountains. the sea or the plains. The plot selected by Miss Griffith had long been “tho apple of her eye." Situated as a resident might describe it "somewhere over there between Doug Foirbanks‘ cottage and the little cabin home of Charlie Chaplin. " Even lilies Griffith's housewarm- ing and celebration on the begin- ning of "Declasse." in which her home was filled from cellar to roof with such celebritcs as Claire Wind- slr, Bert Lyle", George Fitzmaurice. King Vldor. Aileen Pringie and Florence Vidor, brought forth no lo- cal comment.

He provides repealed comedy touches in “Pampered Youth." the Vitagraph picturlzatlcn of Booth Tarkington's "The Mag- nlficcnt Ambersous." which will be shown at the Palace theatre on Thursday for a three-day run. The great street scene had been dressed and all in the cost were ready for the cameras to ‘slart. clicking when it was found neces- sary to get. a. negro stable boy .to hold the spirited horse of old Ma.- jor Amberson. There had been a slip-up. There was no boy there. David Smith, the producer. look- cd gloomily at the ground as if wish— ing the much-wanted negro would spring suddenly into life. The un' voiced wish “as married instantly- for Otis started to walk post. All that was seen of Harlan was a closeup of the flattest. creakiest. moat individuallsticaily Bagged pair of feet imaginable. but that was enough. Smith started as if shot. “'There‘s the man I want—the man with those feet!" he exclaimed. Harlan had just finished work with another company on the Vita- graph lot in Hollywood when his pedal extremities came within the producer's range of vision. Smith looked up and recognized the re- tund actor. Would Otis accommo- date? He would—just as soon as he could be properly outfitted and his face blackened. So as the stable boy in "Parn- pered Youth" there appears the one and only Otis Harlan. a. role he, never played before on the screen. but one in which he gained fame in the early days of his successful stage career. Dick Talmadge In New Picture Tossing off- a line assortment of death-defying stunts with the non- chalanoo 0’! u mun-about town tak- ing his prohibition cocktail before dinner. Daring Dick Taimsdge tears through a. rattling good melodrama in “Tearing Through" like a Red Grange or an Elmer Layden swirl- ing down the chalk-ribbed field in I. long run. "Tearing Throug. " ~ the latest Talmadge production, is the firstof his new series. and by. the same token it is the best action drama in which he has ever ap— peared. critics claim. It comes to the screen of the Rialto theatre on Saturday only, and local movie buttons will have a chance to Judge for themselves.

Wasteland Used As Background For “The Great Di- vide” Now at Regent The Painted Desert of Arizona. one of the wonder spots of the world. and particularly of the Southwest. which is barely known despite its beauty and fascination. forms the setting for some of the most important notion of "The Great Divide." the Metro-Goldwyn picture which is coming to the Regent 'i‘hc- ater today for three days; "The Painted insert with all its wonder and mystery and lure of color and light and remoteness. with the long of high. cool. lavender blooming mcsas act like islands of rock in shifting sens of gaudy col- ored sand. with the romance and the adventure nnd the movement of the most picturesque horsemen in America." So this unique land is described by Agnes C. Laut. "Go up to the top of one of the red sand knobs—you see these Na- vajo riders everywhere. Gaming out of their houses among the juniper groves, crossing the yellow plain. scouring down the dry arroyo beds. infinitesimal specks of color mov— ing at swift pnco across three sons of sand. Or else you see where at. night and morning the water comes through the arroyo bed in pools of silver. recoding only during the heat of the day; out from the ochre rocks that screen the desert like the wings 'of a theater." Percy l-iliburn. chief cameraman for “The Great Divide," found such inspiration in the Painted Desert that he captured all the beauty and allure of it on the film. Conway Tcuric. Alice Terry.

An international epidemic of de- lirium tremens swept the world in the. last week of April. it was pe- culiarly virulent in the offices of the European correspondents of Amerl: can newspapers and in the head- quarters of the New York city police. Headlines flamed. The Communists had 30.000 armed men in Paris. the German Bolshersils planned a na- tional riot as a warning to Hingcn- burg: Italy was seething with revo- lution; England was in panic be- cause somcone attached to tho Pol~ paper. Thereupon revolution all ov the world. apparently. just lay down. and died. Most of the' papers had no reports whatever of the predicted May Day disturbances. but the faith- ful New York Times printed a whole column of dispatches from its repre. sentatives in London. Paris. Rome. Berlin Milan. Mexico City and Co- penhagen. “May Day in Europe Passes Off Quietly" was the headline, One little aftermath capped the do: in New York. An Irish police mas- lslrate had the good sense to release, the Bomb Squad’s prisoners and to suggest that the police find better things to do. - lsh egatlon said that . a friend of his in Vienna had told him that some one was plotting to kill Austen Chamberlain.
