In "Jamaica Inn," which arrives Thurs- Siy at the Paramount Laughton is id to have a role greater than his Captain Blign, or Javert, as Sir Humphrey Fengallan, a glorious rogue in a top hat, who directs activities of a crew of cutthroats who wreck ships on the English Coast and turn over their spoils to Sir Humphrey. On its own merit the picture, as directed by Alfred Hltchcook from the novel by Daphne du Mauriec, with its air of ruthless piracy against a picturesque coastal background, has more than one element of dramatic entertainment, it is said.

Juveniles Cas In Regular Film; Hollywood's mammoth crew of juvenile players today is lindmg a new ouUet for its varied talents. Studios, instead of searching more or less vainly for stories in which the precocious infants can be starred, art finding spots ior th youngsters in pictures already on schedule.

Billy cook, the Menlo Park 12- year-old. offers a shining example. Under contract to Paramount, Billy had spots in several pictures. Then along came "Invitation to Happi ness." It costarred Irene Dunne and Fred MacMurray, but there was a part, running through the last half of the picture, for a young player. Billy got the Job, and turned in art amaxing performance.

In the 33 previews, given the throughout the country, those who saw it gave almost as much attention to Billy as they did to the stars. The studio now isn't looking for starring roles for young Master Cook. Instead, they're searching for stories into which he will fit natu rally, and will have a chance to dis play his talents. Similarly, 13-year-old Linda Ware has a supporting spot in the new Bing Crosby picture, "The Star Maker." Paramount also thinks that 4-year-old Carolyn' Lee, who makes her screen debut with. Fred Mac-Murray and Madeleine Carroll in "Are Husbands Necessary?" will be an outstanding discovery, And the studio is searching lor stories into which she will fit, rather than for material to star her.

"Sandy," still a baby, had a sup porting role in "East Side of Heaven" and was a knockout Mora pictures are being sought for him or her, as the case seems to be. In past years from the days of Jackie Coogan, Wesley Barry and the rest, it was customary to make a youngster a star as soon as the public showed interest Today the trend apparently is to make run use of a child talent but to surround the youngster with cspable casts and more mature stories. aTrMi'TMieT rTTlnilllli LMtf WMAD OF 01" Da?

PictureUnfolds Sagct of Movies Nostalgic reminiscence has moti vated various efforts to tell the story of the screen on the screen. It has its latest expression in Darryl F. Zanuck's feature length production of "Hollywood Cavalcade" filmed in technicolor, arriving at the Fox Oakland Thursday. It is the story of the motion picture's rise from an amusement enterprise conceived "across the tracks" to a giant art industry. "Hollywood Cavalcade," costarring Alice Fay and Don AmVche, traces the industry through its lusty, brawling youth.

The trials and successes, hopes and disappointments of the director and actress who- are its protagonists are a generalized picture of a hundred careers, many of which are now legend, many of which are still in the making. J. Edward Bromberg, Alan Curtis, Lynn Barl, Buster Keaton, Donald Meek, Jed Prouty, George Glvot and Eddie Collins have important sup porting roles. Due to its importance and length, Hollywood Cavalcade" will be shown on a single feature program. Traveling Light Maureen O'Sulllvan is still congratulating herself on the fact that she "traveled light" when she left Hollywood for England.

When she returned via Atlantic Clipper she had to sacrifice temporarily the contents of Just two small suitcases, left in Ireland. SAYS ft Cm. SAT.aSSet i.ti7.,j. sw jm, mm ror. hku tu n.

I ISLAND of LOST MEN I Anne Mer Wens J. Cerrel Nelth Once again there has been a bit of show stealing in New York This time by a veteran of the stare Glenn Anders. It happens, if we may trust the Broadway critics implicitly, in Gertrude Lawrence's new vehicle "Sky. lark" which is reported as a smart and snappy comedy in which the English player equals If she doesn't top her personal triumph in "Susan and God." "Skylark" is a report of marriage on the tenth anniversary of a sue sessful pair who seem to have lost romantic contact with each other ss result of a series of complications that do not really concern them. The wife is making a valiant stfort to recapture the past on her tin anniversary and finally 1 But while the chief actors labor I 4he-lnterettf-hT ramples off with the show playing, If Mark Barron put it, "Bill Blaka, who is prlcelessly drunk and funny nd caustic, the man who ati itralghten out everyone's life but jls own," Anders is a veteran of Theater Guild dramas.

It must have been an enormous latisfaction to Anders because it wag only last week that Leonard pillman took the count with a ro-rival of "They Knew What" They Wanted" largely because, in the opinion of the critics, the actors were not able to cope' with the Sidney Howard "That original cast presented by the Theater Guild back in Janu ary of 1925" included in its top bracketGlenn Anders as "Joe: Leo Carrillo, who had replaced Richard Bennett at the eleventh hour of rehearsals, as Tony; and Pauline Lord, who had already won lasting fame in "Anna Christie" a Amy. Anders is pushing fifty now, and has spent 26 of ihose years in the theater. California born, in Los Angeles, he was educated at Columbia university and made his first appearance in a Los Angeles stock company production of "Macbeth" as Lennox.
