I a PAGE TWELVE THE NEWARK ADVOCATE AND AMERICAN TRIBUNE SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1931 "CISCO KID" "RANGE FEUD" AND "FLYING HIGH" PLAY SUNDAY. Local Screens Show Favorites in Late Films Quite a crowd of favorite film players are going to be seen on the screens at the Newark picture houses Sunday. The cast of each picture booked carries the names of players who have been featured individually on scores of occasions. In "The Cisco Kid," which is booked Sunday and Monday at the Midland, will be found Warner Baxter, Edmund Lowe, Conchita Montenegro and Nora Lane. This picture is a revival of "In Oid Arizona," first brought Baxinto tulkie, fame.

Lowe also in original cast. Buck Jones, who always rates with those who like their west wild and their riding hard, is the attraction at the Grand theater in "The Range Feud." He has a role as sheriff of Twin Oaks, Ariz. Buck finds plenty of trouble as sheriff, and is supported in the cast by John Wayne. "Flying High" brings the Newark girl, Katherine Crawford, Pat O'Brien, Bert Lahr, from the legitimate stage, and that comedy star, 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 1S screened but the one T. K. Edna May Oliver and Technicolor Make Fine Film They sure have improved color.

Those bright clashing colors gone and in Edna May Oliver's first starring vehicle, "Fanny Foley Herself," which opened at the Midland yesterday, some lovely effects are secured. This Radio production. starling Edna May Oliver, who gained her first real recognition as a gossipy, snobbish woman in "Cimarron," is a story for the entire family. It has plenty of laughs and also a few tears, and Miss Oliver proves herself worthy of the prominence given her by Radio pictures. Fanny Foley is a grand 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, hertwo daughters and her husband, he took charge of the girls, to permit her to continue on the stage. She is a headliner, and after her husband dies the wealthy grandfather endeavors to win the affection of the daughters from their mother. These two girls are charming, and both plenty pretty.

Especially Rochelle Hudson, who plays the part of Carmen. Helen Chandler has the more difficult role of Lenore, who is inclined to the snobbishness of her father's family. She is very clever in the part. Hobart Bosworth turns in the always finished performance he gives, as the grandfather. Florence Roberts is well cast as Miss Foley's and Robert Emmett O'Connor, is really quite 1 handsome under Technicolor.

Miss Oliver shows unexpected ability to dance, and her clowning is always done with restraint, and in exceedingly good taste. The "Our Gang" comedy is "Flying 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 T. K. THIS AND THAT IN HOLLYWOOD Hollywocd, Dec.

5. Every one who sees "The Dove," Dolores Dei Rio's latest film, will be seing one of Hollywood's real tragedies. Most of you probably won't notice it since the characters' ne names seldom stay on the screen long enough for all of them to be read. However, if you happen to be a fast reader a and get down toward the bottom of the list of players, you will ing a small bit. find 4 the name of King Baggot-playIt hasn't been many years since the name King Bagget was like magic in the movie industry.

He was a leading figure in Hollywood and one of the highest salaried directors, receiving a salary at least twice as large as that paid to the president of the United States. Today he's broke, The luxuries he once enjoyed have turned into almost bitter memories, He works at anything he can get, extra parts and small bits anything to pay the rent and keep food 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 times that much in a single day, every day of the year. Hollywood's chatter writers sometimes (urn into better copy than the celebrities about whom they write.

Two of them, each of whom claims to be the world's greatest feminine reporter, were having an argument the other day as to who got the first story on Marjorie Rambeau's attempted suicide. The conversation ran something like this: First World's Greatest Feminine Reporter: I heard the ambulance coming down the street, jumped into my car and arrived just as the ambulance did. Second World's Greatest Feminine Reporter (who has the apartmen: across the hall frem Miss Rambeau): I heard the commotion, and although I wasn't dressed, I put on kimono and dashed in to see what it was all about.

Rex Bell Will Not Admit His Marrying Clara Las Vegas, Dec. ceremony in which Clara Bow, red haired film star, reputedly became the bride of Rex Bell. her 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 were married.

District Judge Orr, named as performing the ceremony, would neither affirm nor The judge. who has married Hollywood celebrities, said did not wish to discuss the matter. The wedding. according to Harmon and Schuyler.

In denying he and Miss Bow were married, Bell intimated announcement of a wedding might endanger certain contracts the actress has. Miss Bow is expected to return to Hollywood about Jan. 1. to re-enter pictures. Immediately after the ceremony, Bell and Miss left for the mer's ranch.

on desert, 60 miles cone from here. Miss Bow's career has been one of the most sensational in Hollywood. She never before has been reported married. Many Actors, Who Are Not Stars, Steal Practically Every Show Hollywood, Dec. late Theodore Roberts and his famous cigar are only a memory now- many of his genus still are to be found in Hollywood.

Some vears AgO Roberts was known as "the grand old man of 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 a a day. He wouldn't carry a production himself, but he stole everyone he was iN. It was Roberts who went a long way's toward making the old Reid grand pictures old man what is they gone were.

now. But many others are carrying on his work players who can't be starred but who will steal every scene in which they appear, regardless of how minor their roles. Charles Ruggles comes to mind as such an actor. Charlie hasn't starred, probably never will be. In fact, stardom might prove fatal to 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 as far back 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. Regardless of whether she has an important role or a bit, Zazu consistently steals scenes from DAN THOMAS. 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 40 out of the theater remembering her work. Stardom was handed to Jack Oakie on a silver platter and he Yet before and since his starring couldn't stand up under a the load. days Jack proved himself one of the best picture stealers in the business. He has a manner which focuses all attention on himselfwhen he hasn't the entire load of a picture to carry, Polly Moran has proven a perfect co-star for Marie Dressler. 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 any laurels. Charlotte Greenwood is in this class, too. So 1s Carmel Myers, who played very small roles in both of John Barrymore's latest flms. But how she made those roles stand out, even overshadowing the great Barrymore.

STAGE ARTISTS IN "THE GUARDSMAN" A highly interesting matrimonial problem comes up for discussion in the M-G-M comedy, "The Guardsman," which will open Wednesday at the Auditorium theater. It is, "What can a man do to gain his wife's love, which seems to be slipping away from him?" Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, the celebrated New York stage stars of the Theater Guild, chose for their talkie debut this diverting situation and play, which proved such a big stage hit. CLEVER CAST IN FILM "FLYING HIGH" That internationally known comedy characterization, "Charley's Aunt," marked the stage debut of Pat O'Brien, who plays the young promoter in "Flying High," which opens Sunday at the Auditorium theater for three days. O' Brien's success in the leading role of a Marquette university amateur production of the stage favorite emboldened him to make overtures to stock company managers.

How successful his efforts were may be seen by the fact that he spent several seasons with stock companies in Milwaukee, Grand Rapids, White Plains and Albany before venturing to the New York casting offices. BUCK JONES 1 IN "THE RANGE FEUD" According to advanco reports, Buck Jones, ace delineator of western roles, has more than his share of obstacles to overcome in "The Range Feud," his latest Columbia picture, which is playing Sunday and Monday at the Grand theater To start with, Buck, as the sheriff of Twin Oaks, in endeavoring to bring peace to the community and observe strict neutrality in a range war, incurs the enmity of both factions. On top of this, he is forced to arrest his best friend for the murder of a ranchman. Making it all still difficult, the murdered man's daughter is the best friend's sweetheart.

York, Dec. Helen Hayes returned to the Broadway stage in Molnar's "The Good Fairy," theater fans made determined efforts to detect traces of Hollywood influence in her acting. For Miss Hayes has been ing in the film capital for some little time, and at the very moment she was reappearing in the mate theater it was possible to wit. ness her fine performance in that heartbreaking screen opus, "The Sin of Madelon Claudet." In the theater, she was ing in one of Molnar's frothy and effervescent comedies; on the screen she was good for several dozen tears per reel. commentator thought that she played the stage role "Like Greta Garbo, Mary Pickford and Janet Gaynor com-' bined." Not a bad combination! But the vast army of Helen Hayes fans had left her brand on Hollywood, rather than having marked by her picture experiences.

However, some of the New York drama scribes 1 have been writing long pieces on the lenge of Hollywood. How, they 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 hattan'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 resembling such a worthy part. It is, as they say, "her picture." She follows the entire life 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 besought by a very wealthy gent. She is a mere movie usher.

She declines his advances, explaining that she is married and is true to her hushand. So the pursuer agrees to give her husband a rich and important job. Her bluff called, she must produce a husband.

Meanwhile, the speculation goes on. cocerning the number of excellent performances to be seen on Broadway as 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 Nightingale. This has been quite a success in London, according to reports, but the historic nurse far better known there than here, and the play concerning her 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 Wiiliams' best job in "Evedybody's Wel.

Nagel and Miss Marsh will be seen together in a playlet especially written for their use by Edgar Allen Woolf. After finishing their round of gagements, they will return to the coast for further picture work. TO BE FEMALE IMPERSONATOR Roscoe Ates is assured of a good comedy role in Metro-Goldwyn-May.

She Siamese twins are the Hilton sisters, Daisy and Violet. A large cast of circus freaks have been assembled by Tod Browning, who wrote and. is directing this new picture.

Among those who will appear with Richard Barthelmess in "Alias the Doctor," which is scheduled to enter production soon at First National's west coast studios, are Norman Foster, Oscar Apfel and Wallis Clark. The two last-named are both long-familiar character actors in the theater and on the screen, and Foster is well known to Broadway as juvenile and playwright.

Says Type Habit is Fatal to Films NEA Hollywood, Dec, a player scores an outstanding success in a certain type of role it 1 is almost impossible for him, or her, to get a crack at anything different. Clara Bow was one of the greatest examples of "typing." Every. one knew even before going into a theater where a Bow picture was showing just about what were going to see. Mary Pickford. Douglas Fairbanks, Colleen Harry Langdon and Adolph Menjou were.

the victims of "typing." Norma Shearer has come into this class with her last four pictures. So has Marlene Dietrich. Before even seeing them, you knew just about what they were going to do on the screen. Now the industry is facing a new "typing" danger--that of directors. With the exception of a scant bandful, 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 the set. first indication we had o' the battle directors now are waging against being "typed" came from Archie Mayo at lunch the other day. 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 get away from gangster pictures after making 'Doorway to because it happened to be a tremendous box office success;" Mayo told me. "My next assignment was 'Public Ene. 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 would have been definitely classed as an underworld director. And where would I be now with gangster pictures on the wane? Back on Broadway after starring in lent performance in a Molnar comedy. in the picture, "The Sin of Madelon a Hollywood film production left and right you see succes. Claudet," in which Miss Hayes little old woman.

Give Previews of 'Under Tonight or 'Cock of Air' DAN THOMAS. Hollywood, Dec. Greeks Had a Word for Them." This title might have been put on almost any picture and it would mean just as much as 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 Atking had a great idea when she wrote the stage play and she must have had a regular brainstorm when she put that title on 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 will 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 ch of a general appeal. Individual performances in the picture are excellent, however. Clive Brook, as the wandering husband, does a swell job.

So does Vivienne Osborne as the wife and Juliette Compton 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 Marsh.

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 can't. And Anita Page, as her sister, gives, the best performance we have seen from her in a long time. Glorious us 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 gowns--the two things she does best.

And not only is Miss Swanson at her hest 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 good duction as and "Tonight it has or been Never." almost An- as other plume in the cap of Mervyn LeRoy, Hollywood's boy director. Every picture he makes these days is well worth seeing. In this film Gloria plays the role of an opera singer, sought by all men but seeking only one--whom she thinks is a gigolo but who turns out to be an American grand opera impresario seeking talent in Europe. Melvyn Douglas fills that role and does a grand job of being a master.

ful man. Alison Skipworth also is fine as Douglas' aunt and a former grand opera star. There's no singing in the film despite the fact. that Gloria portrays an opera singer. Oh, she is shown practicing a couple of times but that scarcely could be termed singing.

Billie Dove masters broad comedy. There you have the outstanding feature of "Cock of the Air." 1 in which Billie and Chester Morris are co-featured. For once you forget Billie's striking beauty-but not her sex appeal -and become interested in what she does. She parades in a suit of armor, discusses ridiculous subjects during love scenes, gets drunk and wins her man. "Cock of the Air" is a story of two persons who do a lot of running around for no particular reason- or we might say a very specific purpose -and offer darn good entertainment while doing it.

Billie, a noted French actress, falls in love with Morris, an American aviator who has a reputabeing quite a man when it comes to women. And what trials she puts that man through trying to make him really fall in love with her. Matt Moore, as the third and only other principal in the film, adds plenty of comedy. As Morris' flunkey, he carries a little book around in which he makes bets with himself as to whether his master will get each new girl. We were a bit disappointed in "The Dove" -sort of felt cheated.

The finish should have shown the marines come dashing in waving the American flag to save Foster from those naughty Mexicans. Nothing else was passed up. the players are good. GRAND Today Mat. Eve.

Miss Moran, 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, Charlotte the popular stage comedian, Greenwood and Guy Kibbee. "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 CISCO KID" IS PLAYING SUNDAY Although the period of "The Cisco 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. The picturesque Santa Cruz desert and the rugged Catalina mountains of southern Arizona, was the region selected by Director Irving Cummings to make his exterior scenesa region noted in Arizona history as the spot where Spanish missionaries settied in 1538 and where Coronado came two years later on his search for the mythical Seven Cities.
