Striking disproof of the state- ment that the motion picture has nothing in common with persons of cultivated taste and intellect was given at the United Studior in Holywood recently, while Frank- Lloyd Was directing Norma Talmadge and her company in "Ashes of Vengeance," a Joseph M. Schenck production just released through Associated First National Pictures, Inc.

Several professors, specialists in history, from California univer- sities and colleges, were among the select throng that watched, absorbed until long past mid night, the shooting of the magni- ficent Louvre Palace ballroom scenes that preceded the taking of scenes in a replica of a quarter of the Paris of 1572.

Life, love, a chauffeur's uniform and the thrill of the "roaring road" are the interwoven elements- of drama and subtle comedy in "Sporting Youth,' Reginald Denny's new universal starring feature which is now showing at the Coronet Theatre, with a bag full of thrilling tricks.

It is Denny's first multiple reel feature since "The Abysmal Brute." the Universal screen version of the famous Jack London novel. It represents the first of a new series of feature length productions in which he is to be starred by Universal under R new contract, to portray. the. spirit of the sporting youth

The sporting youth is the youth- of strenuous activities, always anxious to do something daring, whether it is racing in a five hun- dred horse-power aeroplane, tear- ing up the asphalt with a motor car, or climbing endless glaciers in search of the North Pole, even though so many good poles, barber poles for example, are to be found along Main Street.
