man as If made tor- him, as IndeedIt was, and foy tlie famous writer otsmart comedy dramas, FrederickLonsdale.

In - taking dolman's measure, theauthor has kept In mind the star'shlgh-hred , Ingratiating personality,and has contrived Innumerable amus-ing situations of which this amazingplayer takes advantage.

It has long been our notion thatEonald Colman easily takes the leadamong talking screen players. XVecannot believe that this is by chancealone, or that he always has storiesthat click, or a good supporting cast ,or intelligent direction. Due credit

must be given to Samuel Goldwyn,but there seems to be something in/Colman 's ability, talen t or genius ifyou will , which makes his every roloso line, so perfectly satisfactory toevery auditor. His buoyant spirit, |and distinct flare for comedy seeraato dominate in a manner that weldstogether the various elements thatgo to make up Ills recurring popularsuccesses.

The youthful Xoretta Young, inthe sweetheart role, Is particularlyattractive, playing up to Colmanwith an ease that adds to her charm.Myrna Loy, Paul Cavanaugh , Freder-ick Kerr and David Torrence are In-cluded In tho cast.

o Charles Hay, the famous screen

star, is ono of the headline attrac-tions on tlie cvcept/onally fine vau-deville bill now playing at the Pnt-clioguo Theatre.

Up to a short time ago when-Mr. .Ray forsook tli'e sliver screen forthe vaudeville ntago, he was ono ofHollywood's moat popu lar leadingmen. Rome of Ills most notable suc-cesses wore "Tho Old SwimmingHole," "Forty Five Minutes FromBroadway," "Tlio Tallor Mado Mnn "an d "Homer Comes Homo."
