DICK BARTHELMESS chose beautiful little Lois Moran, the 16-year-old star, for his leading lady in the romantic film, "Just Suppose," which comes to Keith's Majestic next week. Lois, who possesses an unusually lovely skin, claims that she owes her clear complexion and bright, sparkling eyes to the fact that she eats only light diet which is composed mainly of fruits, vegetables, figs, raisins and nuts.

Miss Moran also shuns sugar, salt and all starches. She touches neither coffee nor tea, but drinks cold water during the day and eats the skins of potatoes. The petite star is 16 years old, slender, and blue-eyed. Her hair is blonde and unbobbed, and she rides to the studio every day on a bicycle instead of in a motor car. While dancing in the opera ballet in Paris, she was discovered by Goldwyn, and came to this country to play in "Stella Dallas." She plays an exceptionally good role as Linda Lee Stafford in "Just Parisian society comedy.

It is said that "the Amundsen Polar Flight" film takes the spectator on a personally conducted trip with the daring explorers who trusted their lives to Providence and two super-airplanes. Captain Raold Amundsen, discoverer, of the South Pole, who at 63 sought to reach the North Pole by air, is first introduced.

Then, Lincoln Ellsworth, the only American in the party, makes a close-up bow. The two giant Dornier-Wal planes are, shown. Each plane carried a crew of two besides the leader. With Amundsen in the X-25 were Lieutenant Riiser-Larsen, Norwegian Navy, and Master Mechanic Karl Feucht. In Ellsworth's plane, the N-24, were Lieutenants Omdal and Dietrichson.

The entire flight North is shown, their loss in the fog, and return to Oslo Harbor after having been missing for several days. The fact that the Amundsen party did not actually reach the Pole is of little importance, since the place where they landed is similar to that at the Pole, located 134 miles to the Northward. Also, the observations taken by the fliers exclude the possibility of finding land on this side of the Pole, confirming the contention of Admiral Peary, the discoverer of the Pole. The aerial trip revealed In the film is said to have all the thrills and amazing scenes that could be taken on such a trip whether the Pole was actually reached or not.

tenths of the screen features and comedies released up to five years ago, the titles were terribly atrocious enemies of the English language and common sense. Today the title writer is the "big boy" in the production camp; someone everybody from the bops to the office boy looks up to aa a chap of great distinction. There were no "wages" for the title writer in the olden days, because there was no one in the studio to hold such a title. The picture was completed and then anyone who happened to handy wrote in a set of words to fit, or misfit. Probably the first picture to bring producers to their senses about th title-writing business was "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court." Through some trick of fate Ralph Spence, author of "The Gorilla" at the Brown this week, was asked to write the lines for this film, Spence at that time was a writer of short stories.

He injected so much comedy into typo that the picture's entertainment value was Increased about 50 per cent. And Spence became ao popular overnight that he had to quit writing stories and open an office devoted to title writing for motion pictures. Now he gets, it is said, anywhere from $1,000 to $2,500 for throw-ing Lu wit into feature pictures.

This, by tha way, was another Ralph Spence Jot, Some other pictures that have been helped over the road through the brilliancy of Spence are "The Dark Angel" in which Ronald Coleman and Vilma Hanky were featured; Constance Tabnadge's "His Sister from Paris" and Al Christie's "Seven Days." "The Gorilla" is said to be characteristic, of Spence 's humor.
