have preferred Craven 'A' Cigarettes for several years, but it was during an illness of a winter in bed with a weak chest. that I proved they were the only Cigarettes which did not make me cough, or writate. Now after two years, and so far recovered as to be able to do all my own housework again, I am still of the same opinion, and can now smoke my usual quantity again without cough or chest irritation. My husband too alwayı smokes Craven A and prefers them to

BEHIND THE SCREEN

IN HOLLYWOOD

Imagine a man who is joyed at a pay.fcut!

over-

That man has been found in Hollywood. He is Gale. Mogul, a World War hero. Gassed almost to the point of death, Mogul at the close of the war was given full compensation by the United States government and warned not to attempt work of any kind.

Five years ago he decided he was going to work even if it kill- ed him. "If I'm going to die, I'm going cut on my feet," he thought. He got a job as Eddie Cantor's understudy in the Broadway pre- sentation of "Whoopee."

When the show closed and Ed- die came to Hollywood to appear in Samuel Goldwyn productions. Gale came along to be his stand- in. Finding the work fairly easy. he decided to make it his profes- slon. And he's done so well at that he has missed only three days' work during his entire per- lod in the film colony.

Now his health is improving. so much so, that the government already has cut h's compensation twice. The other day a friend saw him just after he received an order to report for another phy- 'sical examination.

This will meari another cut in my government compensation," he smiled. Then with real joy in his voice, he added, "Pretty soon they'll take it all away from me and 131 officially be any own en- tire self again."

OFFICIAL STAND-IN Magut now is the, official stand- in for Cantor. for whom he stood: in wh'le the lights and cameras were being adjusted for "Kid Mil

lions," the pop-eyed como me will stand in during the filming, of "Dreamland."the next Edd'e Cantor film soon to be photo graphed. Mogul also stands in for Ronald Colman, Adolphe Men pou, Leslie. Howard, Robert Donat. and other stars in films released by United Artists Not one of them will even consider another substitute if Mogul is available

Consequently, he ta kept busy all time Jumping from one pics

ture to another, as there never is a time when at least one of these actors isn't working...

As it is necessary to resemble quite closely any star for whom he stands in, Mogul has learned. to rival Lon Chaney in the mat- ter of makeup. He has dozens of pairs of shoes, with soles mea- suring from a quarter inch to six inches in thickness. With these he achieves the necessary height.

NOT SATISFIED

He has wigs, beards" and mou- staches of every description. And he can make himself up to look as old or as young as he desires.

Hence, thanks to the start he got with Eddie Cantor, and thanks ... to his own determinaton, he has come to be known as Hollywood's leading stand-in, a commendable. progress for a man who a few years ago was adjudged a use- less piece of humanity.

He's not satisfied yet, however." As soon as he has recovered com- pletely, he hopes to became an. actor in his own right,

In five years C. Audrey Smith, Hollywood's best known English- man, has played in thirty-six talkles (he was the major. in "Bengal Lancer'), amassed a fortune as the highest paid free- lance actor in the colony-and started ten cricket teams out there.

Which seems plenty.

But he also has a simple solu- tion of the body-line problem.

"I wrote to 'Plum' Warner ä year ago and told him there was only one thing to do." he said. "Put a white line across the pitch seven yards from the popping crease. It a bowler pitches short of that on the legside, "give it a no-ball. That'd stop 'em. They wouldn't give runs away.

Second Grace Moore Picture DONALD WOODS TO-DAY'S RADIO

Seven years, almost to the day; alter Grace Moore made ner de- but at the Metropolitan Opera House, New York. singing the role or Mimi in Puccini's "La Bohe- me," she again made her debut in the Metropolitan Opera House --singing the same role in the same oper

The arst, was a performance from real life. As a thoroughly frightened young girl she faced New York's critical opera audience and sang the plaintive role of the beautiful little modiste. Seven years later, in real life, she simul- ated the same frightened young girl, in the role of a young singer. making an operatic debut under, circumstances as highly dramatic.

Her screen performance occurs in her second Columbia produc- tion soon to be released. in,which she is seen as a singer who anally wins the coveted honour of per- forming in the historic and fam- ous Metropolisan.

When Miss Moore stepped on the stage which housed the Met- at ropolitan Opera House set Columbia Studios she could not restrain ́a gasp of amazement at the accuracy with which tech- nicians had duplicated the inter- for of the famous playhouse. When the curtains parted and she en- tered the garret setting, to sing the duet with Michael Bartlett, as Rodolfo, in the first act of "La Boheme," her voice faltered and tears filled her eyes. She could not go on with the scene for some minutes.

:

"SUCH MEMORIES" "The scene brought back such memories," she said. "There was the famous overture which I had faintly heard through the per- vous moments which I had before time for me to step on the stage and start singing. It brought back the remembrance of the days, weeks, months and years I had struggled for the chance to sing at the famous Met.' When I entered the stage setting. Rodol- fo's garret studio, and hear the opening bars of the duet, it was such a page from real life that I was momentarily overcome! And when the curtains parted and there before te stretched what m'ght have been a typical opera first night audience packing the auditorium, and the famous 'Dia- mond Horseshoe' stretching back into the darkness, the illusion was overpowering|"

Reproducing the interior of the Metropolitan : Opera House in a Hollywood Studio was no small ́tusk,, according to Goosson, the art director. "Although we had scores of photographs of the audi- tortum, the proscenium arch, the boxes of the horse-shoe circle, the stage and the stage setting for »La Boheme," the physical job at. auplicating these details was. an unusual undertaking."

ac-

SCALE AND DETAIL

"Too many" persons are qualiited with the interior of the world famous Metropolitan to ad- mit of any divergence from strict reproduction,” he continues. We, had to build it according to scale and to detall.”

The second Grace Moore pic- ture, eagerly awaited by film fans, all over the world promises to outdo the success even of the grea: "One Night Of Love" Vic- tor Schertzinger again directed the singing star and the superb supporting cast includes Leo Ca- villo, Michael.. Bartlett who bas already been signed to a long term contract by Columbia as a result of his work in this picture, Robert Allen. Spring Byington, Lu's Alberni and many others.

SUCCESS FOR GRACE MOORE

VBTM

Grace Moore, glamorous Colum- bla star, punctuated her cation abroad with three singing engagements at famed Covent Gardens, London, highlighting the observance there of the King's Ju- bilee.

Miss. Moore's first appearance in the role of Mimi in "La Boheme" unprecedented aroused

enthu- siasm, London police finding it necessary to forbid theatre queues more than 15 hours ahead of cur- tain time. The second perfor- mance was enjoyed by the Queen of England, his recent finess making it impossible for the King to attend. London's press and public took the Opera and Movie star to its heart in unexampled fashion.

Miss Moore will proceed from London with her husband, Valentine Parera, for ** mo- tor tour of southern Italy and will -extend her bolll- day by spending several weeks ather palatial seaside est- ate at Cannes. When she returns, Miss Moore expects to bring back.

Wins Role Of Darnay

The hand of a kindly fate must have been on the shoulder of young Donald Woods when he rose out of comparative obscruity in Denver, Colorado, eighteen. months ago. For yesterday, sti a new-comer to the screen, Woods was awarded one of the choicest roles of the cinematic year.

He will play Charles Darnay, romantic hero of A Tale of Two Cities, the Dickens classic to be produced shortly by. David O. Selznick

Contracts for Woods services were consumated between Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer, and Warner Bro- thers where he is under contruct.

Woods' role in the Dickens' spectacle is second only to that of Ronald Colman, the star. He is to share höñours with such pla- yers as Elizabeth Allan, Edna May Oliver, Blanche Yurka, Henry B Walthall, Reginald Owen, Basil Rathbone, Walter Catlett, Dudley Digges, Fritz Leiber and scores of other notables still to be selected. A Tale of Two Cities is one of the most elaborate productions on M-G-M's new season sche- dule. It is to be directed by Jack Conway. 'A cast of 112 is being chosen. Six thousand extras are to be used in spectacular scenes de- picting the French revolution."in- cluding the fall of the Bastille and the birth of the French re- public.

DEFINITELY. ARRIVES The selection of Woods for the role of Darnay came after a long search by the producer and hia staf. Approximately 75 screen tests were made.

Woods came out of the famous itsch Gardens in Denver ap- proximately a year and

a half ago. He attracted attention. Arst with Irene Dunne in Sweet Ade- lime, proving himself one of the best of the 'new leading men. He scored again, making a decisive Individual hit, in As The Earth Turns. Then came Merry Wives Of Reno. and then another triumph for the young player in Fog Over Frisco.
