Mr Franklin clings to the idea the theaters will persist He believes peop'e have a herd instinct that makes them eager to assemble for entertainment We are not sa sure this People also have an inf-tr to remain in their shirt siewes hot nights to wear their easy lippers Instead of their shoes and zo their pipes while' being ente'rtdined All these instincts will argue for then' to remain at home looking at thel! televisions rather than to go downtown to look at the movies If television companies can broadcv! as good entertainment as the movl companies can photograph they un- questionably will

Several contrasting views on an old emotion are offered in the programs of the week's movies At the extreme left we see Sue Carol and David Rollins demonstrating the "You're my ookydooky" type of

Brook and Ruth Chatterton were married but they didn't entirely settle down It is difficult to understand how either would wish to wander from the fold until you see Mary Nolan with whom Mr Brook

Members of the Follies La-Mont Jeanette DaTINV Paula Langlen Dixie Lee Melva Camel and others OMAN it seems is a biped The William Fox Movie-tone Follies of 1929 proves that for all time The Follies now is Occupying the screen at Pantages and the present writer estimates that if all the silk hose on exhibition were one stocking Santa Claus could leave the Graf Zeppelin in the toe of it next Christmas if only one could find a place to hang it up We wish Miss Laura I LaPlante were in Kansas City this week Miss LaPlante has been quite distressed in the stocking advertisements over the number of girls going barelegged Miss LaPlante believes the world needs a greater exhibition of legs but legs incased in silk How she would love the Follies despite the fact it was not produced by her em- ployer Uncle Carl Laemmle but by Uncle Carl's business rival William Fox Mr Fox evidently has had every silkworm in the industry under contract with time- and one-half for overtime during the last year If there have been bare legs in amateur circles it is because the worms have turned professional The above paragraph answers rather adroitly we believe the question that has been at the back of So many heads It tells you the Movie-tone Follies is a leg show without coming right out and saying so Tired business men may go to it with Impunity and with the hope of being refreshed But it is more than a leg show It contains a lot of good entertainment The principal item is Mr Stepin Fetchitr a gentleman of color who seems destined to be the successor of the late Bert Williams in the hearts of theatergoers Stepin is a comical Negro He is naturally humorous and humorously natural He can make you laugh harder by saying "Um-hmmmm" than most blackface performers can by falling through the bass drum In addition to his peculiar voice which Is more than a drawl and less than a whine he is a dancer with absolutely flexible legs The musical numbers assume an Importance in this revue which makes one feel the screen has become a real competitor to Mr Ziegfeld Among the numbers featured are "The Breakaway" "Walking With Susie" "Big City Blues" "That's You Baby" "Why Can't I Be Like You?" and Pearl of Old Japan" Of these three have the makings of positive hits while Sue Carol's dancing of "The Breakaway" undoubtedly will get more plaster stamped down from the walls and ceilings of America than has occurred since the terrible Charleston year of 1925 Miss Carol gets some hot assistance from a diminutive Negro girl who is as cute as Farina used to be Unusual camera effects have been added to the "Walking With Susie" number and the "That's You Baby" syncopation undoubtedly will be seized upon by dance orchestras before long It is gratifying to note most of the singers and dancers in the Follies photograph well which has not been the rule with cinema-musical attractions This production has the usual backstage love story which manages to be amusing despite the fact it contains no impressive acting and no originality An "Undersea Ballet" permits the use of technicolor to a spectacle sequence All in all the Follies is good entertainment and we would not be at all surprised if public enthusiasm justified its remaining at Pantages a second week 31ovielone Follies or 1929 George Shelbv John Breeden Lila Beaumont Lola Lane Jav Darrell DeWitt Jennings Ann Foster Sharon Lvnn Al

baseball game in our own living rooms It may be as Mr Jenkins says that the generals of the future will sit in their headquarters and observe views of the enemy trenches as broadcast from scout planes However this seems much farther in the future Imperfect light will be accepted for news events but the public has become too used to expert lighting effects in dramatic productions to be satisfied with dim and indistinct television reception after the first novelty has worn off It seems safe to assume that television entertainment will be broadcast from a studio where both light and acoustic conditions can be kept under control This leade to a speculation as to how the television production will be performed In the case of singing vaudeville and relatively simple forms of entertainment the actors probably will stand before the instruments and pictures of the living persons will be sent into your home E1Iii May He Retained But in the case of drama big musical revues and such entertainment this would be a step backward The mechanical facilities of the movies have developed an entirely new dramatic form It permits great 'spectacle it can enlarge a detail until it fills the screen it can shift its setting as often as it likes it can employ natural oceans and forests for its backgrounds The public will not wish to ebandon a dramatic form that comes Fa much nearer to reality than did any of its predecessors The movie limitations lie only 14 the minds and abilities of the men who I make movies It is capable of Intl we indulged in some prophecies on the subject of

two intrepid adventurers and capable camera artists by sheer dint of courage fortitude and camera technique were able to go to the far corners of the earth and to bring back unvarnished tales of the real drama of mans daily struggle 'when faced with the malignancy of Nature Their works had the epic notes of world classics "Chang" will be a great picture and a great story a hundred ears from now because it is universally true After a year spent in the Sudan Mr Schoedsack and Mr Cooper returned to Hollywood where there ensued mysterious activities in the neighborhood of the Paramount-Famous-Lasky studio Now the two whisk aside the shrouds of mystery to reveal their latest "Four Feathers" When they do so it is the revelation of a trick rather than the unveiling of a masterpiece But it is a trick that is interesting and one that should be intensely popular There Is no doubt what Mr Cooper and Mr tichoedsack went I kor instead of great drama they have I made photodramai instead of real men living out their problems against their native backgrounds we have movie actors living through a plot instead of being transported magically to a wild outland we merely see some interesting native life as the background of a conventional I' novel This is disappointning to the few but it no doubt will be consoling to It the many "Grass" and "Chang" were not box office
