Some years ago. when the film
makers engaged in a scramble for
the big names of the stage. Famous
Players snared Ann Pennington. then
the darling of the Follies. and at-
tempted to make a star of her. As
we remember it. they provided her
with Marguerite-Clarkish roles in
“The Rainboy Princess." "Susie
Snowflake." "Little Boy Scout." Ann
wasn't a. success. After a time she
went back to her first love. the stage,
with her famous dimpled knees.
Now Ann is gomg to make an-
other bid for fame in the movies.
She has taken leave of absence from
M. Zlegfeld‘s celebrated school for
would-be wives of millionaires, to
play opposite Julian Eltinge. the
female impersonator, in "Madame
Lucy." a feature—length Christie
comedy. She recently had a small
part in "A Kiss in the Dark." with
Adolphe Meniou. ,
While Ann is in Hollywood, she's
gathering some $5.000 a week as a
dancer at one of the super-movie
houses. Between the theater and
studio she‘s kept busy. but has
managed to grace several parties
given by film notables.
Ann married Brooke Johns, musio
cal comedy performer, more than a
year ago.

his new film. “Shore Leave." . . .
Warners are filming another auto
racing story. Patsy Ruth Miller and
Monte Blue are the principals. “Red

SCHOOL CLOSED
TO AID MAKING
OF THIS FILM
Children Enact Winter
Sports f o r Agnes
Ayres Picture “The
Awful Truth”
The closing of schools that motion
pictures might "carry-on" is some-
thing docldediy new in the annals of
film making. but to Paul Powell. di.
rector of “The Awful Truth" the
comedy feature being shown at the
Rialto Theater today falls the credit
for having not such a precedent.
The story cells for several scenes
showing a winter sports carnival at a
fashionable winter resort. To film
these econ-3e it was necessary for the
entire company to move down to
Truckee. Cel.. one of the few places
near Hollywood visited by Jack
Frost.
The picture calls for several fancy
skaters and ski Jumpers and as most
of the town's devotees of these has-
ardous sports are of school age some
means had to be found to get hold
of them. The scenes had to be taken
in the early part of the day so that
there would be sufficient light and
that was just the most inconvenient
time for the necessary performers.
Powell went to the school super-
visor and finally prevailed upon him
to dismiss the high school classes
for the day so they might do their
stuff for the camera. Now every kid
in the town is anxiously waiting for
"The Awful Truth" to make its ap-
pearance at the local theaters.

weekly men ure not allowed through
to record the quake on celluloid,
there is a. lot of arguments. but the

"It. “as like the end of the world

.And the ‘naflve' sons tried to laugh
it away as a joke. If this beautiful
state would be truthful occasionally
and 'come clean' with its news the
world at large would treat it but
for. The news leaks out anyway
even it' the local scribes and boos-
lers try to hush it up as they are
doing in this present instance. The
men of the press generally have the
right of way but not here. Even
when two trainioads of Red Cross
medical supplies and nurses left
Los Angeles for Santa. Barbara they
refused to admit this fact. What
they gain by 'kidding' the local
people is a mystery even to the lo-
cal people.

can't find out.

sors get busy. pm! the residents are
kept ignorant of everything. They
might pull up stakes and leave the
glorious state behind if the true
facts were‘ disclosed and real estate
values must be protected, also the
tourists that may come here to buy

Santa Barbara. How many more
sliding acts are in the program is
the question people are trying to de.

forcast by the unusually hot weath-
er of the past week. It would be
very hot. sometimes unbearable
with a leaden sky and dark fore-
boding clouds. with freakish storms
of bail and wind and rain, then
sunshine and hotter than ever. The
railroad stations are crowded and
the reduced fares back East are at.
tracting a. pile of Easternere and
those that never saw the East. And
there are those who would love to
leave if they had the railroad fare.

Claire Windsor in
Two Roles—Days of
1897 Shown

Mayer. will be at the Palace Theatre
today and tomorrow. It is a. story
of two periods-of today and the
time of the Spanish-American .war.
showing the outcome of two N‘-
mances that were beset with similar
difficulties.
Claire Windsor plays the leading
role. She appears both as a girl of
1897 and as a. mother of us at the
present day. The part is a. distinct
novelty for this actress.
William Heinee is the 1897 youth
with whom Mildred (Miss Wind.
sor) is in love. Bert Roach. who
made such a. hit in "Excuse Me" as
the bibulous salesmen. is his rival.
Edward Connolly. the Metro favorite
and Emily Fitzroy appear as the
girl's parents. one meek and quiet.
the other domineering and ponder-
ous. ‘
Billy Eugene plays the role of
Mildred'e brother who gets mixed up
with an 1897 “fast" women. while
Vivia Ogden appears as the goselpy
Aunt Edie.
In the modern sections Lucille
Ricksen. the film sub-deb. and Rob-
ert Agnew are seen as the lovers. ‘
“The Denial" is based on the play.
"The Square Peg." by Lewis Beach.
and in lie screen adaptation by Ag-
nes Christine Johnston has been dlq
vided into a prologue. main story
and epilogue.

Joseph Rickson, who appears in,
“Baree. Son of Kazan." as Pierrot,

"The Code of the Wilderness." He
had important roles. too, in "The
Border Patrol." with Harry Carey.
and "The Riders of the Purple
Sage." with Tom Mix.
Jack Curtiss. remembered for his
impressive work as Wolverstone, the
mutinous buccaneer in "Captain
Blood." has the heavy role, that of
McTaggart. the post factor, in
"Baree." He had important parts in
such earlier Vitagroph productions
as "The Courage of Marge C'Doone."v
“The Flower of the North" and
"Masters of Men." and. more recent-
ly. has been seen to advantage in
"The Snob," "The Last of the Du-,
snes.” with Tom Mix. Marshall Nell-
an's production of “The Slranger's
Banquet." the Rupert Hughes pro-
duction. “Reno." and “The Gypsy
Romance."
Donal Keith. everywhere recog-
nized as one of the coming men of
the screen. and already command-
ing a large following. appears as
James Carvcl, who figures in the
romance with Nepeese. Mr. Keith
played with Miss Stewart once be—
fore. He had the juvenile lead op-
posite the star in "The Boomerang."
