During the deer season the comedy star spent days In the High Sierras back of Bishop, Cal, and a limit of fine bucks has been In rero-temperature storage since that time, awaiting the Christmas dinner hour, when the Beery chef will announce that the venison Is ready. Another great gathering ot congenial folk will be held at the Hollywood Boulebard home of Mr. and Mrs. Emll Jannlngs.

Christmas Is always the day of days In this household, which refuses to relent In Its Old World traditions. The Jannlngs's servants each receive their Christmas bonus as a matter of course, and no taller tree will be found in any it i 1 Vti i Christmas will be spent at a resort not far from San Francisco either there or In New Tork.

Richard Dtx is planning a Christmas yachting trip off the coast of Baja California, with Ensenada the ultimate destination.

He will have many of his friends with him. Harold Lloyd, with his new comedy, "Speedy." nearly finished, will spend the day with Lloyd and little Gloria. Fred Thomson's day win also be a home and family affair, with his famous writer wlfo, Frances Marion. Little Ruth Taylor, the Lorelei of "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." is asking several of her friends of the old Mack Sennett studio days to a little dinner affair, and she expresses the hope that Ben Turpln will not fall to come. She and the comedian are very good friends, for it was as his leading lady that she made her film debut, a debut that led to getting what is admittedly one of the bei-t parts of the year.

There are youngsters of all sizes and ages on the stage, and they go through their paces with a nest that proves Inspiring to the audience. Applause awarded practically every number, and climaxed after the final wintry Impression, with the dancing snowmen, and a tableau of Santa Claus. It Is sure-fire for the holiday season. the East.

What the picture Is deficient in most of all is the customary comedy urge that one discovers in Miss Moore's pictures. There are spots that are very amusing, and others that lapse Into dullness. The char' acters and many of the situations seem thoroughly unbelievable. tf A valiant effort was apparently made to strengthen the picture by means of the subtitles, for three title writers were employed, but even Ain't oho eaU'-r With but five days Intervening, preparations are well under way to celebrate the advent of the new year at the two special performances Eat-vrday evening, of Sid Grauman's prologue and "The Gaucho" in Grauman's Chinese Theater. Screenland's celebrities are said to be extensively represented in those who will start their celebrations at the Chinese and indications are that It will be a bright spot in the cinema capital that night.

Graunman today will Institute rehearsals of novel surprise stunts to be presented in connection with the prologue to mark the passing of the old year. Conforming with his custom ot featuring the holiday celebration with unique stage presentations, no one not directly connected with the theater has been privileged to have an advance peep at theee novelties. Following the announcement that it is soon to end its engagement, crowds have been flocking to the Chinese to view the colorful prologue, 'Argentine Nights," and Douplas Falrbanks's latest production. With Latin-American artists fea. tured, the prologue will pass into history with the conclusion of the run of "The Gaucho," as the theater magnate has declined all offers to permit It to accompany the film it', the It'a the mt (Reprinted from late edition ot Saturday's Timet) Young Evans, the heavyweight champion you remember him looms large In the' circumstances described on the Boulevard screen this week In "On Your Toes," a Univer-tal picture starring Reginald Derny.

Young Evans, If he had lived till the action of the film started, would have been Old Evans. You see he never actually appears alive. Tt Is Just in spirit that he moves through the flickering scenes, tenderly waiting for the moment when he shall best serve his son, Elliott The moment, surely propitious, comes when Beresford is as good as beaten in his match with Mello, ring champion. For Mello once upon a time (Reel One) had cast a slur on the fair name of Young Evans in the presence ot bis erstwhile manager, Sullivan and a Sullivan never forgets. So when Beresford is Just about ready to go down for the count Sullivan whispers to him that Mello has insulted his, Beresford dad.

That Is enough. Beresford goes in and wins. It is implausible stuff, this "On Your Toes" but entertaining. It boasts one original situation, in any event that wherein the member of a boxers' training camp pretend that tneir demesne is a school for dancing lr order to fool Beresford's grtnd-mother. who has fought to keep her grandson from following in the steps of her sod.

Young Evans. There Is plenty of humor in the spectacle of a line of rough and ready spar-lng partntrs endeavoring to assimilate the finer points of the terpslchorean art on extremely short notice. Besides boxing, Beresford wiggles his ears when he is angry. So does the grandmother. It is never mede clear why they do It, or whether Young Evans was similarly addicted to the habit.

Perhaps its secret lies buried deep in the tradition of the family, one can imagine Grand-mama Evans, as the shadows fall each evening, asking her grandson, sternly, "Have you wiggled your ears today, lad?" and the boy's proud answer, "I have, grandmama." The picture is neither as fast nor as furious as others which have borne the Denny Imprint, and the star's acting is forced In a number oi scenes. Barbara Worth is a pretty leading lady. Hayden Stevenson, elways associated with Universal ethletlcs, is outstanding as Sullivan, the promoter. Then there is Mary Carr, a sincere performer; Frank Hagney and Gertrude Howard. Fred Newmeyer directed from Earl 8nell's story.

On the stage Gene Morgan and his band. Lee, popular singer, and sn octet of Fanchon and Marco pirls contribute eye and ear entertainment, as do the Tamon Kiddles.

"No people In the world are such enthusiastic sport fans as are found right here in America." suys Snell. "It, therefore, Is reasonable to believe that motion pictures dealing with one of the many popular games ot skill will have a general appeal." Snell has followed this theory quite consistently in his screen writings. The first original he ever sold was "The BuBher," with baseball as the background.

More recently he wrote "Use Your Feet," a prize-nght story, which was used as a Reginald Denny starring vehicle, and now he Is completing "The Grandstander," a thrill-lng football tale, which will be produced by Universal as Glenn Tryon's next picture.
