DIFFERENT , IS
CLAIM MADE 0F
THIS PICTURE

“Darwin Was Right” a
Riotous C o m e d y
With a Serious Pur-
pose—At Rialto

"Something different."

What an oft-repeated phrase that
is!

And nowhere do they resort to
the repetition more volubly than in
Filmland. where the quest for-the
unique and previously unheard-of
is more persistently indulged in

 

 

than in any other quarter. either
commercial or artistic.
William Fox. one of the fore-

most of the him-makers of the day.
is no exception to the rule in this
eternal set-king of untraversed re-
gions of make-believe. Nor is he by
any means the least successful. In
fact. according to reports emanat-
Ing from all the cities in which his
latest feature production. “Darwin
Was Right." has been exhibited. he
has come nearer to realizing the am-
bition of projecting something real-
ly different than anyone else in his
field. ‘

As the title suggests. this picture
has to do with the Darwinian
theory relative to the origin of man.
and, in view of the fact. that it is
treated in a comedy vein with some
distinctly new twists and angles.
critics seem prone to give it credit

for keeping completely out of the
beaten paths of photoplay as we
have come to know them.

The basis of the plot is the edorts
of three old men to discover the eli-
xir of youth and their subsequent
kidnapping after they have suc-
ceeded in their purpose. and. as
can easily be imagined . a wealth
of humor emerges from the com~
illicatlnn of inevitable situations—
siluailoi‘ which are claimed to be
quite unlike the conventional sort
which enter into the usual "for-
mulas” of photoplays.

If “Darwin Was Right" is event-
ilally set down in the cinema book
of history as a widely recognized
screen production of pronounced
difference. the credit will belong
largely to the perseverance of Mr.
Fox in keeping at his job of tire-
lessly seeking something new to
ilansplant to the. silver sheet It
will be shown at the Rialto today

A counterfeit $5 bill was discover-
ed at the park yesterday. The note
isa poor lmitatino and was detected
by the management almost at. once.
'lhe 35 bills being placed in circula—

superintendent. took the bill. a Fed-

was stamped “counterfeit." He is
keeping it for a souvenir.

The Swedish Evangelist Church of
Gustave Adolphus arrived on the
“Sirius" yesterday with 1.100 aboard.
The weekly Friday excursion from
Ridgewood also arrived, but left.
ahead of schedule because of the
downpour all afternoon. The irony
of the rainstorm yesterday was that
it stopped and gave way to sunshine
at the exact moment that the Tirius
and the Belle Island pulled out for
New York. leaving the park entirely
deserted. The bathing houses did is

CYNlClSM AND
FAITH BATTLE
IN THIS STORY

Percy ‘ Marmont and
Alma Rubens Have
Leading Roles —- At
Regent Next Week

Cynicism versus faith—these are
the two forces that struggle for the
mastery in “A_ Woman's Faith."
Universal-Jewel production to be
shown a the Regent next Monday
and Tuesday. It is a screen adaption
of Clarence Burlington Kellend'e
famous story “Miracle." which ran
as a serial in the Ladies’ Home
Journal. In it is being featured Alma
Rubens with Percy Marmont.

In “A Woman‘s Faith" is found
a man whose belief in everything
has been shattered by a series of
events that left him wandering alm-
lessly in the midst of spiritual dark-
ness. Later this spiritual darkness
became a physical one. for blindness
came to the man whose soul had
been crushed. Sheers and jibes at
the goodness in humanity: sneers
and Jibes at. all and any belief in the
power of the divine and behind it
all the cause-an embezzling father.
a heart-broken mother. a falthless
fiancee and a disloyal friend.

The supporting cast that has been
grouped about the two principal
players can he said to be an all-star
one. for it includes such names as
Jean Hcrsholt. I’lughio Mack. Zasu
Pitts: Andre de Lleranger. Cesare
Gravlna. Rose Rosanova, William H.
Turner and Calvin Roberts. Edward
Lacmmle directed.

Hollywood

By P. P. D.
HOLLYWOOD. (By Mail)——l met
a young lady here this week. right
on the far famed Hollywood Boule-
vard. She hailed me. "Hello
Frank." she said in plain English.

"what are you doing here?" So I
told her in the same language she
spoke .devold of course. of the Call-
fOlnia 'intohatlon.’

“And who is that beautiful little

again smiling

”I said: “okey.”

“Do you know Frank." she con-
tinued with a sadness in her voice,
“I spent the happiest two weeks of
my life in that place. It was three
years ago when I was/working for
l‘athe making “Silas Marner." the
George Ellot'fiovel."

"She stopped speaking and look-
ed longingly towards the Eastern
horizon. then sighed. .
"I'd give anything just to go back
there and spend another summer.
but my movie work prevents that
now and I'm sorry."

The girl was Jean Girard, better
known for herwork as “Epple” in
the above named picture and in
countless other movies that played
Norwalk and the world. Back not
so many years ago we knew Jean
when she was but a kid in Jumpers
and pig-tailed curls in New York.

“I once lived in So'uth Norwalk,"
Jean continued, "and my mother
and brothers came from there too.
The good time enjoyed there I well
remember. to be very easily forgot-
ten. In these days. though not so
long ago. I was a. kid. but see,
Frank, how one grows up in Holly-
wood. Yesterday but a child. today
a woman.

"I knew many people there and
I wonder if they still remember
me? I do wish those dear.friends
would write.. if Just a. postal card. I
would value it. That’s from my
heart Frank. It's real."

And she meant it.

The outside world does not know
what it means to be domicled in a
strange city.

Jean is a Connecticut girl. per-
haps the only one on the silver
sheet hailing from
least to my memory. She was born
in Greenwich. lived both in. South
Norwallr and New Haven and for a
time in Boston where her father
new has an art gallery, being an
artist of no little ability. It was
this same Miss Jean that assisted
this writer in running out of New
York and points East and South the
fake movie acting schools that for
a. time‘ flourished profitably. This
writer's two page Sunday articles
helped put them out of business.
