Comedy Vamp Yearns to Do Serious Roles Lita Chevret, Promising Screen Siren, Would Prefer 'Sophisticated Drama' Ts 'rib. 7 1 Thus adds her approval to a growing list of endorsements of the Frank Seder Lowr Price Policy: AND I feel it is very dable for, your firm to make it possible for the masses to make purchases at a price which they can afford. A person By DAN THOMAS JJOLLYWOOD. July 6-There may never be another screen vamp to match the technique of Theda Eara. but unless critics in these Parts are predicting wrong, little Lita Chevret, dimpled, dark-eyed lass from Oakland, will prove a close runner-up.

Litas jump to prominence came because she kept her eyes opened and took advantage of every opportunity that came her way. At 16 she joined a stock company and it was natural she should soon gravitate to Hollywood. From then on her opportunism got her places. "I'm a product of selection rather than evolution," she says. -I got my first contract when 50 girls were selected from 2,000 tested.

The second contract was the result of another process of elimination. Sixteen pirls were selected from 1,500 two ago. Now I am the only one left at the studio of that original .1 lilMH neatly dressed is in a better frame of mind, and better able to cope with adverse circumstances, and with the world in a happy 'frame of mind and with co-operation in all lines, such as you are giving in your particular one, makes for a quick turnover and creates work for the unemployed, thus restoring confidence."

That's the situation today with regard to SPENDING.

EACH PERSQN says, "Oh, I'm going to SAVE MY MONEY: there are-plenty of others who will SPEND:" then no one will spend and the depression will continue.

If you can remember the drunk scene in "Rio Rita" you will recall Lita's auspicious start. After that came "The Cuckoos" and subsequent small parts with Lowell Sherman, Bebe Daniels and others.

I tried to get all I could out of the part, and so far the critics have been kind." Like Charlie Chaplin, who hankered to do Hamlet, Lita also yearns for roles outside of comedy. "I don't feel," she says, "that comedy is going to be my forte.
