GLOSS Beaeon Joarnal Theater Kdltor JAMES DUNN, busiest boy on the Fox tot, if not In Hollywood, Is at the Colonial theater again, this time in "Hello, Sister," which Is presented with Dunn advanced to starring capacity, though the official billing gtiU keeps him as a featured player. "Hello, Sister" reveals itself pretentious drama with every inch of its seven reels aimed directly at the feminine trade. They'll find in it a love story In which the bad boy Is really good and the good girl never really bad. WONDER if Diana Wynyard whoej latest picture, "Reunion in Vienna," will be Loew's feature on Friday, was taking a sly dig at some of the film colony's best dressed stars as well as being to all surface appearances, exceptionally tactful? Diana, before boarding a train from Hollywood for York where le took a boat to England, loaded a trunk with gowns designed by Gilbert Adrian, ace M-G-M fashion creator.

It is to be recalled that several other stars recently sought publicity on trunks of clothes brought back from Paris! WE WERE speaking about "Hello, Sister" before that example of an English actress "buying American" popped up and just had to be recorded. There will be some of you who won't find the least bit to recommend this talkie because of the situation it employes for its final problem that of the girl breaking the news that the benefit of clergy is the only thing the hero can honorably bestow upon her, things being as they are. But it is something not too far removed from life to exclude it from the tool chest of the scenariast who would fashion stories on experiences almoft anyone in his audience can understand. Small Town Boy Jimmy Dunn portrays a small town boy in the big city and shown its after dark sights by a wise, though cheap sport. They pick up two small town girls smitten by loneliness and the romance follows.

Now don't put the hero in the wrong light. He is wiling to do the right thing, but his pals assure him the girl is only after his money. And it an explosion in her apartment house and a heroic rescue on his part to awaken him to the true situation. Boots Mallory is the sweet and innocent girl and ZaSu Pitts is her Toommate. ZaSu plays her first "mean" trick in a dozen or more pictures in this, but relents as does everybody In time for the ending to be eminently happy.

Performances are not startling, cither for merit or ineptness. It is, to repeat, aiiwd at the feminine trade and the romance is frequently relieved by laughs. LOEW'S Diana Wynyard continues to stay right at the top of the Hollywood list, a spot she was put in when she made "Cavalcade." She follows It up with "Reunion in Vienna" and plays opposite John Barrymore this time. The picture opens Friday at Loew's Akron theater with its story of an old world romance that held New York happy during a protracted Broadway engagement and has won renewed praise since it returned as a talking picture. STRAND A title that appears to be directed at all of movie fandom was selected for George Arliss' newest talkie which comes to Warner Bros.

Newton, J. Farrell MacDonald and Charles Evans. DIFFERENT Hollywood set its cameras up in new and, for it, strange fields, when Jesse L.

Lasky went over on the Fox lot and made "The Warrior's Husband," a coming Colonial feature. The plot drops back to the mythical age of Amazons and you find the women dominating the men, making love to them when and how the please. Of course this feminine Utopia is suddenly disturbed. It has to be for the sake of drama as well as comedy and the disturbance arrives in the form of a man, who instead of waiting for love, goes out after it. A strong cast including Elissa Landi, Marjorie Rambeau, Ernest Truex and David Manners, plays the film which will be at the Colonial beginning May 20.

A button inside the cockpit operated the camera, mounted on the nose of the plane. Arlen Is Studying To Become Director Richard Arlen wants to be a film director.

AP An augmented force of Mississippi national guardsmen today patrolled the Tallahatchie and Yazoo river levees as a result of another flare up in the flood -harassed delta's leves feud. Expressing the opinion that the situation has grown "much more serious," Governor Sennett Conner ordered the troopers into the flood zone yesterday because of the cutting of the Wasp lake levee north of Belzoni and the unloading of cases of dynamite at Clarksdale.

The motive apparently was retail-ation for levee destruction elsewhere and the relief of other sections from the pressure of the high waters. Director Reveals How Job Is Done Director John Ford never boasts of being a courageous man, yet he did a brave thing. An actor who was to have a pipe shot out of his mouth in "Pilgrimage" wavered at the last minute, undecided whether to go on or quit. It wasn't easy to convince the actor there was little danger to the shooting, so p'ord got a spare clay pipe, clenched it tightly between his lips and invited Pardner Jones, old time frontier sheriff, to shoot it into bits. 1 LAST TWO DAYS MAT.
