BJtU" 0j thai KU" I ENTERS CELLULOID ANOTHER MISlCAIi COMEDY STAR WITH HOACII By Grat Kingsloy Jf Vou see Tyler Brooke wearing a smile lhat won't come-oft, as he romps about at the Mason in "No. No, Nanette," dorTt lay It altogether to the jolly show he is In. The fact of the mat-fr is, Tyler is going to become a picture star. Tyler Brooke has signed away hla professional services to Hal Roach for the next five years, during which time he will be featured in two- 4 reel comedies. This young actor is far-famed on the stage, having made a hit in various musical comedies in the east both as comedian and dancer.

He is one of the big hits in "No, No. Nanette," which Louis Macloon produced here, and which seems likely to run through the summer at least. When Louis Macloon was casting, about for somebody to play the lively Billy in he decided that nobody could do It quite as well as Tyler Brooke, and therefore he engaged him, bringing him west from Chicago, where he was appearing in musical co.ne-cly, Hal Koach naturally is looking about for nip cards for his comedies, and when he saw Brooke, he exclaimed: "Ha! Just the man'" and thereupon went back stage at the Mason to see whether Brooke would like to go into the picture comedies. Brooke said yes. for the proper consideration: where- npon a contract was forthwith prepared and signed, calling for a plethoric salary.

The star wU remain with "Nan ette" for a time, but the fact that he must Rlay matinees at the Ma son makes it impossible for him to remain long with the show. So if you want to have a peep at him. you'd better buy early for "Nanette." Broods has had an interesting life, having been a bank clerk and embryo lawyer before going on the stage. He came very near to being born on the high seay, as his French parents were coming across. But as fate would have it, he is an American citizen bv virtue of the fact that he was born in New York Just three hours after his mother landed.

"You can see for yourself," said Brooke, "haw easily I might hare been a French subject, if I had been born beyond the three-mile limit outside of New York." "And 'if -you had been born within the three-mile limit?" we asked. "Then." said Tyler, "I should probably have been a bootlegger." RENAUD HOFFMAN IS STARTING PROGRAM "The Unknown Soldier" tops the list of productions to be made by Renaud Hoffman In a huge production schedule which will entail the expenditure of considerably over a million dollars dur ing the next eleven months. This feature is to be personally directed by the young producer-director, who, though less than a year in the field, has made a name for himself. "The Unknown Soldier" is from the novel by James J. Tynan.

It has been scenarized by Dorothy Farnum, and Mill mark the final picture he will make under last year's contract with Producers' Distributing Corporation. This will go into production shortly at the Hollywood Studios. Negotiations with the same company call for four more personally directed Renaud Hoffman productions to be made during the coming year. But Hoffman is not going to be idle between pictures. He has contracted to supervise twelve more features for Lumas Pictures, following "A Woman's Secret," just completed under Henry McCarty's direction.

The first feature under this new Lumas contract has boen finished. It is "The Overland Limited" from James J. Tynan's novel, directed by Frank O'Neil, with an all-star cast including Malcolm MacGregor, Olive Borden, Ralph Lewis, Ethel Wales, Alice Lake John Miljan and others of equal importance. The second picture In this Lumas series is now preparing It will feature Thunder, the marvel dog. in an original story by Frank oster Davis.

GLAD TO BE BACK Retired Star Constantly, Lured hy KIcigH, Says Ikirothy What are the feelings of a screen star in retirement? pots she have a longing' to return to the studio? Does she miss the glamour and honor -and attention of her old profession? Dorothy Phillips, who retired In great grief when her director-husband, Allan Holubar died suddenly, and who is now appearing in "Without Mercy," describes the first question and answers the others both in the affirmative. Miss Phillips has been regarded as one of the most emotional and versatile actresses before the camera at the time of her retirement. She was Induced to return to the screen by William Fox because of his plea that highly emotional stars are limited in the field today.

"My retirement was due to a broken heart, not to a desire to abandon the profession." said Miss Phillips. "I was supremely happy, with the world ahead flooded in a light of success, when bereavement shattered our roifeate existence. I knew it would be painful to be amid the scenes where I had been so happy. I wanted time to assuage my grief. "Does the retired actress have a longing to return to the studio? Yes, just as officials in the motion-picture industry who were formerly newspaper men, tell me they often get a longing to return to the newspaper field.

Ones you become a living part of something your fancies and thoughts are always there. The longing at times Is very strong. Many retired actresses hav told me they have regretted ever getting out of harness. Some tell they are satisfied because they have branched into another profession, but admit the desire to return often becomes very strong. 1 "Ths glamour and honors or tne profession have their swaying Influence but not as much as one wvuld exiled.

The glamour of the screen is on the- outside not on the Inside. The public sees the not the hard work. They see the finished product, but not ths many heartaches that often gr into the making of a picture. "You love to get back with your eld associates, thos you struggled with, whose ideas are like your IdeslB and who ways are like your ways and who unde-stand as you understand.

F-Knn Buys "Spooks" If the Chicago audiences like "Spooks," why, thinks Frank Egan, is there any reason to suppose that Log Angeles audiences will not? He feels, therefore, that he isn't taking the slightest chance in buying the Pacific Coast rights to the mystery play, which feat he accomplished yesterday. The com- efi.v-n.vbtery is by Robert J.I Sherman, and just at present it is causing Chicago audiences at the Playhouse to give little squeals of fearful delight when the near-ghosts trot out. Mr. Egan purchased the film rights from Bryant Weil, who control the Playhouse In Chicago.

Two captured German submarines, which under the German flag carried the numbers, U63 and U64, were secured by Rex Ingram from the French government for use In the filming of his production of "Mare, Nostrum" for Metro-Gold-wyn. This was one of the first times the French government had ever extended such a courtesy to a motion-picture company.

Both the submarines have been in the active French naval service since the war and they made a special trip from their base in Toulon to Nice In order to maneauver under Mr. Ingram's direction. In the story of "Mare which translated means "Our Sea," Blasco Ibanez described most vividly the activities of the two German submarines in the Mediterranean. With the aid of the French government Mr. Ingram was able to transfer this episode to the film in all its reality.

The "Paul Rodier," named by the French in memory of their famous hydroplane commander who was killed in Venice in 1916, was the submarine utilized by Mr. Ingram for most of his difficult submerging scenes. It was In command of Commandant Bouan. The other was In charge of Commandant Seguin. For three days the submarines maneuvered before Mr.

Ingram's cameras and some startling results were obtained. Many of the scenes were taken from the narrow deck of one of the boats, while others were made from special tugs which accompanied them. The two submarines were completely overhauled following their capture shortly before the close of the war and were immediately placed in service by the French. They still carry many relics prized by the Germans and even more highly prized now by the French crews. The boats are more than 180 feet long and carry a crew of forty men.

Although there is no actual record of the activities of the two submarines while flying the German flag, it is certain they were among the terrors of the Atlantic, for they were in service for a number of months. "Mare Nostrum" la not a story of the war, but submarines play an important part in several episodes dealing with shipping conditions along the Mediterranean coast In 1917. Alice Terry and Antonio Moreno have the two leading roles In "Mare Nostrum." Hughle Mack In the only other American member of the cast. Willis -Goldbeck prepared the scenario for "Mare Nostrum." and John Seltz Is the cameraman. POTBOILERS TO OFFER KOLKER IN "AMBUSH" "The Life of Man" will be played for the last time tonight at the Potboiler Theater.
