the mad and merry melange, of fun and frivolity and music, which is now breaking attendance records at the new Fox Pasadena theater, presents what is believed to be the most imposing aggregation of Hollywood's younger comedy and music celebrities since Paramount on Facade. Jeanette MacDonald and James Hall play the romantic leads and sing two songs. Jack Oakie and Skeets Gallagher provide much of the fun as wayward taxi driver and a tropical island king. Kay Francis, William Austin and Eugene Pallette assist in the general merriment. An added attraction on the program Is "The Laurel and Hardy Murder Case," a three reel comedy containing more than the usual quota of laughs.

Buster Keatons latest comedy, Doughboys, will be the feature of the program arranged by the Pasadena theater management for the week commencing Friday. Keaton proved that he could be as funny in the talking screen as he was in the silent picture with his first talking venture, Free and Easy. With his latest picture, he sets himself in the top notch position as screen comic, A special attraction will be Bottom of the World," the authentic talking picture record of Kohl-Larsen expedition to the South Pole. This picture is said to contain many unbelievable scenes of nature in the frozen regions. EXTRA LAUGHS The Laurel Hardy Murder Case" FAIR OAKS Moran and Mack in Anybodys War.

PARK Journeys End." WARNERS EGYPTIAN Conrad Nagel in Numbered Men. New York In the picturesque era it 1865 forms the background of Romance, Greta Garbos second all-talking production, which opens at the Fox Florence theater today for a three-day run. While the scenes of Miss Garbos Initial dialogue picture Anna Christie were also laid in New York of an earlier day, the present picture offers a dire contrast in presenting the atmosphere of the aristocratic, rather than that of the dingy saloons and the river front. A similar change is seen in the type of characters in Romance, who are represented as being the citys bluebloods, and who form an admiring circle around the exotic foreign opera singer, portrayed by Miss Garbo. Lewis Stone and Gavin Gordon have the leading supporting roles, and the cast also includes Elliott Nugent and Henry Armetta.

Romance will be recalled as the outstanding hit on the New York stage in 1913, where it played to capacity audiences. Following the tour of the United States the play was presented in- London, where it ran for three years. It was adapted from the book of the same name by Edward Sheldon. Tonight the Florence also will show an all-talking comedy and Fox Movietone News. The Sea Bat, co-starring Charles Bickford and Racquel Torres, starts on Friday.

NORMA On Sunday we talked to the man who knows more about Hollywood and motion picture studios than any man in or out of the motion picture business. As we are not anxious to start a discussion we will not mention the name.

But we learned a lot from him, much more than could be learned by reading Queer People, the novel that gives such intimate views of booze hounds, their haunts in Hollywood and morals. Folks who learned the inside story of the Early Bird and the Who Cares About That Worm when they saw and heard Moran and Mack in the blackface comedians first picture, "Why Bring That Up? will now learn the inside story of the Sad Fish. For the intimate facts about these dolorous vertebrates will be generously dispensed by the tired-voiced comics in one of their amusing arguments during a sequence of Anybodys War, their newest release which comes to the Fair Oaks today, tomorrow and Thursday. Starting Friday and Saturday the Fair Oaks will present Rin-Tin-Tin in his new all talking serial "The Lone Defender." On this same program Friday and Saturday Rin-Tin-Tin will also be heard and seen in his last big feature Rough Waters.

Ho could do that in silent pictures and he was czar, author, king everything.

Now hes what the title indicates, Hollywood lacks stories for pictures. And writers rather than directors are now on the top of the heap. Thats a new situation, at least.

Former merchants catering to the cheapest sort of trade now posing as picture magnates must bow to this new master-brain.

So the motion picture industry faces a complete revolution. No one will hesitate to admit after the run of low, vile and viciously obscene pictures which have flooded the country, that brains and judgment must come into the industry to rescue it.

And so we see better days ahead, better pictures. But stories are lacking good stories. The story writer is the man who is today on the top of the ladder.

Through all the ages the smart have paid for brains. The smart are still in the saddle but brains is the motive power to bring the industry out of its predicament.
