Freddie Bartholomew contributes much in the earlier sequences as the young Jonathan Blake and Douglas Scott is an upstanding boy as Horatio Nelson.

(History may be haywire but it's real romance!) Later Blake watching from his w'indow the funeral of Lord Nelson. "Lloyds of London" is, by all odds, one of the best pictures of the year thus far in Harris burg. At the moment, think ing of no other, I'll call it the best It's in the "Caval cade" classification.

LOVER OF CHILDREN Hal Mohr, director of Universale "When Love Is Young, is a great lover of children and is going to spend $10,000 for a nursery, to be completed by March in time for an anticipated arrival of a second child. The nursery will have its private bathroom with tub and fixtures in miniature size for the kids. Heat in the nursery will be thermostatically controlled to assure an even temperature.

One wall will be of glass brick to give ample sunlight. There will be no sharp corners on the walls; no sharp edges on furnishings. The floor will be covered with the new rubber tile for protection from unexpected bumps. The nursery will be decorated with a new type of paint; utiliz ing only vegetable colorings so that if either of the little Mohrs inadvertently taste the paint, as infants sometimes do, it won't do them many harm. With all this attention they ought to be model children! 1 Word comes from Universal City that because of the realistic war tactics that James Whale is using on "The Road Back" set, the movie warriors are experiencing genuine misery.

Added to the gruelling work of groveling in muddy trenches, picking their way through barbed wire barricades, and dropping into dug outs and shell holes, they had to put up with California's freak cold snap. Battles scenes are being filmed first in "The Road Back," and all film shooting is taking place from 7 in the evening to 4 in the morning just when it's coldest. "It's real suffering, both men tally and physically," agrees each member of the cast. And they add with added emphasis, "Sherman wag right war is. hell" HARRISBURG TELEGRXPH MONDAY EVENING FEBRUARY 8, 193 Carrier Pigeon Becomes Hero in Newspaper Picture Carries Love Notes in Its Unioue Role i Helps Photographer Serve Paper and Carry on Romance Hollywood.

Feb. 8. Bird lore is eoing modern. The dove, which used to be the symbol of peace and marital hap piness, has been replaced Dy a carrier Dieeon in "They Wanted to Marry," RKO Radio's new ro mantic comedy. The hero of the new film, rjlaved bv Gordon Jones, is cameraman on a metropolitan newspaper, and he used "Emily," the pigeon, to fly his negatives back to the paper from import ant assignments.

"Emily," however, carries messages as well as negatives, and her activities play an important part in the romance of the picture. A comnlete pigeon cote of the type now actually used by East em dailies as the "home" for the talented birds was built as one of the settings for the picture. 1 Anita Louise Star at 20; Realizes a Life time Ambition Hollywood Three and a half years ago, on June 21, 1933, to be more specific, a. lovely blonde eirl. hardly more than a child in fact, sat down in an executive of fice of a motion picture studio and watched her mother and guardian affix her name to a con tract calling for the girls exclu sive services for a term of seven years.

Then, following the usual rou tine in such matters, the young woman, who was then only sixteen and a half years old, accom panied by her mother, went to the studio publicity department, where she was handed a ques itionnaire to fill out. She ran through the questions quite rapidly until she came to one on the fourth tfage of the typewritten, double spaced ques tionnaire. There she hesitated, but not for long. She read the question in a voice audible to others in the room. "What is your present ambi tion?" The girl dropped her pencil on the paper again and wrote: "io become a success in pic tures before I am twenty one." Today, hers is an ambition achieved; for Anita Louise, the blonde youngster who filled out that questionnaire on June 21, 1933, is playing the leading femi nine role in Cosmopolitan's pic tunzation of the Peter B.

Kyne story, "The Go Getter." And Miss Louise celebrated her twentieth birthday anniversary only last January 9. Leads For Two Years a starring roie is not a rare achievement for Miss Louise, however. This young actress has been playing leads in pictures now for more than two years. If that in itself is not sufficient evidence to prove that she has attained her ambition, there is also the fact that she was in three of the four Warner Bros. First National productions generally selected by critics, women's clubs and other organizations as among the ten best for 1936.

She was in "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "The Story of Louis Pasteur" and "Anthony Ad verse." It was the last named picture, incidentally that Miss Louise believes proved to be the turning point of her career. In it she proved, once and for all time, that she was an outstanding actress; that she had a wealth of ability as well as fragile beauty. Miss Louise's climb to success has not been particularly spectacular. Rather it has been unusually quiet, unattended by any of the excitement and fanfare that usually follows the 'discovery' of a new screen personality. Nevertheless she has progressed steadily, never slipping backward.

What to Do, See and Hear By L. U. K. aVGLAND'S glory is again reflected in an American made picture "Lloyds of London, currently on tne uoiomai screen ana un doubtedly the picture of the week. At this writing I haven't caught "You Only Live Once" and "Champagne Waltz" but am willing to believe that neither of the two will rate with pages from British historv which spring to vivid life under the skillful direction of Darryl F.

Zanuck. One is a super gangster; the other one of the many cinemusicals. "Lloyds of London" will be a picture to be reckoned with when the critics sit down to select the Ten Best of 1937, mark you well. The growth of the greatest in surance company ot today on the background of the Napole onic wars re traced with a Keen and understanding hand. The coffee house, where insurance brokers met to place their "bets" and to hear the good news and the bad, becomes an institution, which, at times, rivals Wall Street in excitement.

Ship cargoes are insured and the insurers watch anxiously for news of Lord' Nelson and his If the French fleet manages to sink the ships they've insured, they lose heavily. If Lord Nelson's men are able to sink the French warships all is well, they make their profit, i. e. collect the premiums, pay no claims. Jonathan Blake, moving spirit of Lloyds, and Lord Nelson, the itory has it were boyhood friends, had a pact" as it were.

That's tii The late Charles (Chick) Salet and Margaret Hamilton in scene from picture now at Loew't, "You Only Live Once," why we see Blake in the crisis risking fortune and honor to keep Nelson's fleet intact, preserving the glory that is peculiarly England's. Tyrone Power as the devil may care, dashing, loyal Blake launches an attack on those now holding the citadel of feminine appeal in Cinemaland Gable, Taylor, et al. Good looking, he can also act. Madeleine Carroll is bewilderingly lovely as the unhappily wed Lady Elizabeth, who stirs the lovelight in Blake's eyes after he has set her heart to beating like a trip hammer. Boy, 9, Is Veteran of Cinema Cast Wally Albright Leads Entire Cast in Years of Experience Hollywood, Feb.

Now 9 years old, he plays opposite Miriam Hopkins, Paul Muni and Louis Hayward, stars of the picture. Miss Hopkins made her first screen appearance in 1932, Hayward in 1933 and Muni in 1928, shortly after Wally began his career.

L. wants to know how come the title. This was explained in Saturday's column, but we'll do it again. The title was taken from the flag the insurrectionists carried during the Easter week, 1916, rebellion in Dublin. The picture is built around this uprising, and stars Una O'Connor and Preston Foster.

O. Skee. The latest film invention is the "Peeping Mike," made by William Daniels, cameraman for Garbo, and currently photographing Jean Harlow and Robert Taylor for M's "Personal Property." It consists of a miniature microphone attached inside the camera itself, so that it is at the cameraman's mouth level as he lines up his shots. Heretofore, when his head has been inside the box, he has had to change position in order to call out to the players any changes in their positions. Now he can talk to them directly while still keeping his eye at the finder, and can continue to keep them in sight while he gives instructions.

Film flashes: That strong voice of Deanna Durbin's comes natural. As a baby, she won first prize for being the baby with the lustiest lungs at the Winnipeg, annual baby show Rawther, old chap. An English visitor on a Hollywood set recently admired the "splendid replicas of the British army uniforms" the men were wearing. The men were costumed as night watchmen Virginia Bruce's singing in "Born to Dance," has created for her a role in an elaborate musical comedy, "When Love Is Young." Sophia Tucker will have a part in "Broadway Melody of 1937." First it was Winchell and now it's a press clipping from Hollywood that says Robert Taylor was stricken with the flu while in the East. Mebbeso, but he was hale and hearty when he passed through Harrisburg.

It took the State of California nearly eighty years to build San Quentin Prison. Esdras Hartley.

First National art director, works faster than that. He and his assistant, Ro la E. Hill, have built a prison a copy of the famous California penal institution in1 less than a month. It's a good motion picture pri son, but it wouldn't do to keep lifers m. A boy could break out of Hartley's prison with a Boy Scout knife and a piece of string.

But it looks good and strong. In fact, some of the extras, who have lived within the real prison at one time or another, shudder when they walk on the set. They say that Hartley's handiwork ir too real. The cell block is the most spec STATE RESTAURANT MARKET AND ABERDEEN STS. FLOOR SHOW TONIGHT Presenting FRANCES JACOBS L.
