"Some can act; some can't. Some are ingenues and some good only for mother roles. There are horse heroes, villains and comedians. Once in a while you'll find some awful hams. Some horses are good for the kind of action roles Errol Flynn plays.

Some are better for dialog actors, like Leslie Howard and Herbert Marshall. SATS THET REASON. Hudkins has absolutely no doubt that horses are reasoning creatures, that, they feel happy, ornery, sad or playful like humans. "Any trainer of a racing stable will tell you that." he insists. "Horses that are worried abovit something or resentful of some HI tie slight, just won't run, even If they could make the race a walk away.

Actin 1 horses are just the same.

Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, places on the screen the problem revived by Author Christopher Morley in his book, written about the white-collar girl who must make a woman's choice between marriage mid security and love without, marriage. The problem is one of the always old nnd ever new questions about which authors probably will be writing for years to come. "Kitty Foyle" answers it for one woman but doesn't settle it for oil women to the end of time. What the novel ami picture do accomplish, however, is the presentation of the old debate in modern day setting. The chief character is a working girl, a typist, with a commonplace background, who marries out of her class but finds herself emotionally tied to the man she leaves, so much so that che cannot quite make up her mind to marry a man who offers her security and a home.

LEADS TO MARRIAGE. Born of Irish parents, "Kitty Foyle," grew up in Philadelphia with vivid Impressions of the superiority of the Philadelphia "Main Line" society composed of the pioneer industrialists of the city. When a secretarial Job leads to marriage with one of the Main Liners, Kitty finds that she can't live with a man who is dominated by his family's ideas of social prestige. She returns to New York and over a period of years becomes successful in her work. At this point, her former husband, who lias remarried, appears again.

In the book the author filled in Kitty's past background by the mental images which pass through her mind as she considers her decision. The film producers have solved this technical difficulty in an Ingenious way. SHORT SUBJECTS, TOO. On the program with the feature Ls a news reel and color cartoon.

A "Djan Jaeger could call It a Betty Grable, or a Tyrone Power, or a Mar; 1 Martin one of Hollywood's perennials: the actor, tried by Hollywood and released, comes back to Hollywood and makes good. It has Its variations, among them the actor who flops at one studio and makes good at another.

The Doan Jagger variation you probably know: strapping Ohio-Indiana farm boy from Wabash college got the stage bug and, after assorted vicissitudes and minor triumphs in stock, arrived in Hollywood. He stayed three years playing cowboy and Indian, and then returned to the stage. It was New York this time, and better and another chance at Hollywood; two years of Indifferent roles in 30 pictures and another departure. Finally real stage success and more movie offers. "Brigham Young," the one he accepted, won him stardom in the current "Western Union." This time Jagger seems to have licked Hollywood.

SEES THEIR SIDE. "Knowing what you know of Hollywood now," I asked him, "and supposing you were back at Paramount, getting nowhere, what would you do to get out of the rut?" Jagger is a deliberate fellow and he thought it a good question. But he hadn't any ready answers on tap. "The studios have their side, too," he said. "They were friendly nbout it, but after all they needed 'names' for the top" roles.
