Director Archie Mayo turned out a pretty good film even though it wasn't one to get excited over. Miss Marsh has the role of the young girl who would like to go wrong and can't.

best performance we have seen from her in a long time. Glorious Gloria Swanson is back with us again and at her best. In her latest film. "Tonight or Never," Gloria plays a dramatic role and wears beautiful gowus the two things she does best. And not only is Miss Swanson at her best but the picture as a whole is a worthy effort in the way of screen entertainment.

It has been a good many years since we have missed a Swanson pro-duction and it has been almost as good as "Tonight or Another plume In the cap of Mervyn GILBERT SWAN. New York. Dec. 6. (NEA) When Helen Hayes returned to tho Broadway stage in Molnar's "Tho Good Fairy," theater fans made determined efforts to detect traces of Hollywood influence in her acting.

For Miss Hayes has been work ing In the film capital for soma little time, and at the very moment she was reappearing in the legitimate theater it was possible to witness her fine performance in that heartbreaking screen opus, "The Bin of Madelon Claudet." In the theater, she was appear ing in one of Molnar's frothy and effervescent comedies; on the screen sh was good for several dozen tears per reel. One commentator thought thai she played the stage role "Like Greta Garbo, Mary Pickford and Janet Gaynor com-' bined." Not a bad combination! But tho vast army of Helen Hayes fans had left her brand on Holly wood, rather than having been marked by her picture experiences. However, some of the thoughtful New York drama scribes have been writing long pleceH on the challenge of Hollywood. How, thoy ask. are you going to keep them down on Broadway after they've seen the opportunities offered by the film farms? One after another, some of Manhattan's very favorite performers have, been headed westward.

And it hasn't been altogether the clink of Hollywood gold. Good actors are not above desiring good roles. And anyone who has seen Miss Helen Hayes, for instance, as Medelon Claudet must realize what a chance the actress had for versatile playing. No show in which she has been cast in many a moon has given Miss Hayes anything resembling1 such a worthy part. It is.

as they say, "her picture." She follows the entire life of Madelon from girlhood to gray hair. In "The, Good Fairy." Miss Hayes is given at least one act in which to shine most brightly. Briefly, the feathery Vienesse trifle concerns a young woman who is much besought by a very wealthy gent. Sho Is a mere movie usher. She declines his advances, explaining that she is married and is true to her husband.

So the pursuer agrees to give her husband a rich and Important job. Her bluff called, she must produce a husband. She goes to the telephone book and, at random, picks a name. Her selection turns out to be a half-starved lawyer, who is dazed to find himself raised overnight to tho highest pinnacles, only to bo dashed to earth when the rich man changes his mind and gives up the chase. Meanwhile, the speculation goes on.

cocerning the number of excellent performances to be seen on Broadway ns against the poor plays upon which they have been wasted. If they desert for Hollywood, they scarcely blamed. There is, for instance, one almost perfect, performance to be found in "The Lady With a Lamp." It is that of Edith Evans, an English newcomer, in the role of Florence. IMgntingale. This has been quite a success in London, according to reports, but the historic nurse is far better known there than hero, and the play conrerning her has far more biography than drama.

The performance of Miss Evans will not save it. To mention a few others, there is Ruth Gordon who makes "A Church Mouse" something that it might not have been otherwise; Edward Pawley, whose acting in "Two Seconds" is hours ahead of the play; Lee Tracy, who props up "Louder Claiborne Foster, struggling valiantly with "The Woman in and Frances Williams' best job in "Evedybody's Welcome."

(NEA) Once a player scores an outstanding sua-cess in a certain type of role It Is almost impossible for him, or her, to get a crack at anything Clara Bow was one of the greatest examples of "typing." Every one knew even before going Into a theater where a How picture was showing just about what they were going to see. Mary Pickford. Douglas Fairbanks, Colleen Moore. Harry Langdon and Adolph Menjou were, the victims of "typing." Norma Shearer has come into this class with her last four pictures. So has Martene Dietrich.

Before even seeing them, you knew just about what they wero going to do on the screen. Now the industry is facing a new "typing" danger that of directors. With the exception of a scant handful; directors never have claimed much public attention. But just like ship captains at sea, a director 'is absolute king on a set. He is given a script, sometimes good and sometimes bad, at the beginning of a picture, and his job is to make the best possible production out of that story.

Even studio bosses, while they have the power to fire him, can't make him do what he doesn't want on set. The first Indication we had the battle directors now are waging againct being "typed" came from Archie Mayo at lunch the other day. It seems that studio executives are regarding the directors in the same light they are their stars. If a director "clicks" on a certain picture, he immediately is handed more stories of a like nature. "I had a terrific fight to awnv from gangster pictures after mak ing uoorway to because it happened to he a tremendous box office Success;" Mayo told me.

"My next assignment was 'Public another gangster story. I fought and fought against it until finally I was given 'Svengali' with John Barrymore instead. 'Public Enemy' was by far the bigger success of the two and it would have done me more good temporarily. "However, if I had done 'Public Enemy," I would have been definitely classed as an underworld director. And where would I be now with gangster pictures on the wane? "A good motion picture director should be able to direct any kind of a production.

I don't consider myself a top-notch director, because I don't think I can make comedies, although I have directed a number of them with fair success. I never would refuse to make comedy, though. The only time I kick is when an attempt is made to keep me in one channel. That is sure death for a director, just as it is for a player." Gets New Role. George Meeker, ex-Broadway juvenile, whose most recent film appearance is as the very annoyed young man from West Orange in "Strictly Dishonorable," has just been signed to support Joe E.

Dec. B. (AP) A ceremony in which Clara Bov, red haired film star, reputedly became the bride of Hex Bell, her actor-suitor, was the subject of conflicting reports today. Bell, on whose ranch Miss Bow has been in seclusion several months to regain her health, denied they wei married. Harley Harmon, district attorney here, and William Schuyler, deputy county clerk, declared they were witnesses to the wedding ceremony.

District Judge Orr. named aa performing the ceiemony. would neither affirm nor deny. The Judge, who has married many Hollywood celebrities, said he did not wish to discuss the matter. The wedding, according to Harmon and Schuyler, took place Thursday night.

A marriage license was ob. tained by Miss Bow and Bell a short time previously. Schuyler said. The actress gave her age as 26 and Bell gave his as 28. In denying h.

and Miss Bow were married. Bell intimated announcement of a wedding might endanger certain contracts the actress ha. Miss Bow is expected to return to Hollywood about Jan. 1. to re-enter pictures.

Immediately after the ceremony. Bell and Miss Bow left for the former's nanch, on the desert, 60 miles fiwm here. Miss Bow's career has been one of the most sensational in Hollywood. She never before has been reported married. other players around her.

She may not be on the screen for more than two minutes In an entire picture. Yet every person in an audience will go out of the theater remembering her work. Stardom was handed to Jack Oakie on a silver platter and he couldn't stand up under the load. Yet before and since his starring days Jack proved himself one of the best picture stealers in the business. He has a manner which focuses all attention on himself when he hasn't the entire load of a picture to carry.

Polly Moran has proven a perfect co-star for Marie Dressier. But Polly can't carry the full load of a picture on her own shoulders. She can and does, however, act circles around other players appearing in scenes with her. A newcomer who has put himself into this class with only two pictures is Jimmy Durante. In our opinion Jimmy never will make a film star, despite his success on the legitimate stage.

But as long as he stays in the film racket he will continue to walk away with pictures Just as he did in "The New Get Rich Quick Wallingford" and "The Cuban." And then we have the Gleason family, Jimmy and Lucille. They don't want to be stars. But just put either of them Into a picture and the other players no matter how good they may be have a hard job grabbing anp laurels. Charlotte Gretnwood is In this class, too. So ts Carmel Myers, who played very small roles in both of John Barrymore's latest films.

But how she made those roles stand out, even overshadowing the great Barrymore. Entered the industry as a film cutter, later becoming director for Charles Chaplin. Knlisted during the World war, became a first, lieutenant, and compiled an official film library for the United States army. Since the war Ruggles has made more than 40 feature pictures; has developed many prominent stars, including Laura La Plante, Jack Oakie, Leila Hyams and Irene Dunne. Outstanding recent films have included his "Street Girl," "Condemned," with Ronald Colman, "Cimarron" and "Are These Our Children?" adapted from Ruggles' own Individual story.

"Are These Our Children?" will feature the Midland theater program next Tuesday for three days. "THE CISCO KID" IS FLAYING SUNDAY Although the period of "The CIrco Kid," coming to the Midland theater Sunday and Monday, is laid In the 90's, much of the production was made in a locality visited and occupied by Europeans 80 years before the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth rock.

Crux rtnsert and the rugged Catalina mountains of southern Arizona, was the region selected by Director Irving Cum-mings to make his exterior scenes a region noted in Arizona history as the spot where Spanish missionaries settled in and where Coronado came two years later on his search for the mythical Seven Cities.

being reared DAN THOMAS. Hollywood, Dec. 5. (NEAS) "The Greeks Had a Word for Them." This title might have been put on almost any picture and it would mean just as much as it does to the opus to which it now it attached. There isn't a Greek in the picture.

The title simply applies to three little gold diggers turned loose in a great big city. Zoe Atkins had a great idea when ahe wrote the stage play and she must have had a regular brainstorm when she put that title on it. But by the time the story and dialogue were altered sufficiently to meet our silly censorship regulations, there wasn't much of Miss Akins' original work left. That happens so often when sensational stage successes are brought to the screen. The very things which made them successful have to be eliminated in order to please a flock of censors who are afraid we might see or hear something we shouldn't.

Ina Claire, Madge Evans and Joan Blondell portray the trio of gold diggers and the picture simply shows to what lengths they wilt go in order to get sufficient gold to keep them in style to which they have accustomed themselves. Miss Claire has the leading role of the girl who will stop at nothing, even to chiseling her own chums if it will bring her any financial reward. Lowell Sherman, who also directed the film, and David Manners enter in as two of the trio's victims. Dave is a wealthy society youth with whom Madge is in love, but she won't marry him because she doesn't think she is good enough for him. Sherman is a famous musician who is about to take.

Madge under his wing when Miss Claire steps in and grabs him. This film should be a success in the larger cities, but we aren't so sure it will appeal to the smaller towns. The answer to what a woman should do when her husband becomes involved in an outside affair is found in "Husband's Holiday." It is simply that she should wait until friend husband tires of the other wo. man and comes home. This idea is well presented, but we are afraid it Is a little too sophisticated to have much of a general appeal Individual performances in the picture are excellent, however.

Clive Brook, as the wandering husband, does a swell job. So does Vlvienne Osborne as the wife and Juliette Compton as the other woman. And sure-fire Charles Ruggles is good for just as many laughs as you expect from him. No doubt you have heard the story of the little girl who wants wealth, but who places a higher value on her virtue than riches. It has been used as a picture theme before.

Nevertheless, that's the story of "Under Eighteen," featuring Marian "Flying Hign Brings tne ewarK Katherine Crawford, Tat O'Brien, Bert Iahr, from the legitimate stage, and that comedy tar, Charlotte Greenwood. As the title Indicates, it is all for fun. "Flying High" is playing at the Auditorium theater for three days, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Harry Carey, another favorite of western films, is the featured player at the Gem theater in "Cavalier of the West." This picture is screened but the one day. H.

Those bright clashing colors are gone and in K'lna May Oliver's first starring vehicle, "Kanny J'oley Herself," which opened at the Midland yesterday, some lovely effects are secured. This Radio production, staning Edna May Oliver, who gained her first real recognition as a gossipy, snobbish woman in "Cimarron," is a Btory for the entire family. It lias plenty of lauetis and also a few tears, and Miss Oliver proves herself worthy of the prominence givn her by Radio pictures.

Fanny Foley is a Brand old trouper of the vaudeville stage. In her youth she married the son of a wealthy man. and he was disinherited at once. Fanny supported the family, her two daughters and her husband, while he took of the girls, to permit her to continue on the stage. She is a beadliner.

and after her husband dies the wealthy grandfather endeavors to win the affection the daughters from their mother. These two girls are charming, and both plenty pretty. Especially Kochelle Hudson, who plays the part of Carmen. Helen Chandler has the more difficult role of Lenore, who is Inclined to the snobbishness ot ner father's family. She ts very clever in the paiU Hobart Bosworth turns in the always, finished performance gives, as the grandfather.

1'lor-Tence Roberts is well east as Miss Foley's maid and Robert Emmett O'Connor, is really quite handsome under Technicolor. Miss Oliver shows unexpected Ail-ity to dance, and her clowning is always done with restraint, and in exceedingly good taste. The "Our Gang" comedy is "Kly. tog a Kite," and has quite a story to it about grandmother being fleeced out of her money, and the dog and the "kids" saving the gold bonds. News events include flashes of the late football games.

H. T. K. THIS AND THAT IN HOLLYWOOD Holly wocd, Dec. 5.

Every one sees "The lif." Dolores Dei Rio's latest film, will be s- eing one of Hollywood's real tragedies. Most of jou probably won't notice it since the characters' names seldom stay on the screen long enough for all of them to be read. However, if you happen to be a fast reader and get dewn toward the bottom of the list of players, you will find the name of King Baggot playing a small bit. It hasn't been many years since the name King Bagged was like magic in the movie industry. He wa a leading figure in Hollywood and one of the highest salaried directors, receiving a salary at least twice as large as tciat paid to the president of the Unked States.

Today he's broke. The luxuries be once enjoyed have turned into almost bitter memories. He works at anything he can get, extra parts and email bits anything to pay the rent and keep on his table. The $50 or $100 he earned from this picture probably is the most he has had at cne time in months. Yet he used, to get four or five timts that much la a single day, every day of the year.

Hollywood's chatter writers sometimes tHrn into better copy than the celebrities about whom they write. Two cf them, each of whom claims to be I the wo; Id's greatest feminine reporter, were having an argument the other day as to who got the first tstory on Marjorie Rambeau' attempted suicide. The'-' conversation ran something like this: First World's Feminine Reporter: I heard the ambulance coming down the street, jumped into my car and arrived Just as the ambulance did.

Miss Sloran, whose stage name Is Crawford, is playing one of the romantic leads with Pat O'Brien, and that's good company, for O'Brien received plenty of praise for his work in "The Front Page." Like Miss Crawford, he also is a recruit from the stage. The Moran family formerly lived In Hudson avenue, and after leaving Newark Kitty first attracted attention as a singer and dancer, and she has appeared in a number of photoplays, including "Climax," "Safety in Numbers" and "Red Hot Rhythm." She played in the Los Angeles stage production of "Hit the Deck," and was in the cast, of last spring's, revue. "The New Yorkers." Free-lancing for a time, she has been out of pictures, but seems to have fallen in the best of company, for "Flying High" features in its cast Harry Lahr.

fi i '-W DAN THOMAS. Hollywood. Dec. 5. (XEA) The late Theodore Kolierts and his famous cigar are only a memory now but many of his genus still ale to be lound in Hollywood.

Some years ago Roberts was known as "the grand old man of the screen" mainly because of his ability to steal pictures. Roberts never was starred. Yet he was better known and far more popular than many stars of that day. He wouldn't carry a production himself, hut he stole everyone he was in. It was Huberts who went a long waj's toward making the old Wallace Iteid pictures what they were.

The grand old man is gone now. But many others are carrying on his work players who can't be starred but who will steal every in which they appear, regardless of how minor roles. Charles Kuggles comes to mind as such an actor. Charlie hasn't starred, probably never will be. In fact, stardom might prove fatal to his career.

However, when he comes into a scene other players immediately are minimized. Audiences don't notice, or particularly care, what they are doing. And Charlie will keep on going In just that fashion for years. Lewis Stone is another who never reached stardom. Yet he has been the outstanding figure in nearly everyone of his pictures for aa far as we can remember.

He even ran a close race for acting honors with Emil Jannings in the German actor's greatest American film, "The Patriot." Another in the same category is Zazu Pitts. Uegardless of whether she has an important role or a bit, Zazti consistently steals scenes from TONIGHT'S ATTRACTIONS. MIDLAND Kdna May Oliver in "Fanny Foley Herself."
