Miriam Hopkins, diminutive blonde film star, la thinking about writing movies, as well as acting in them.

Miss Hopkins developed the am bition after a talk with George Palmer Putnam, chairman of Para- mount's New York story board, who was a visitor in Hollywood during the Siming of "The Story of Templo Drake," picture, currently showing at the Queen's Theatre, in which sho is featured with Jack LaRue,

Mr. Putnam repealed to her what ho had said proviously in a public Address: "If you have a novel idea for a motion picture story, no matter if it la no more than a thought which can be expressed in a single sentence,| mend it in to a movie company. This Is the goldon hour for new writers." has And Miss Hopkins, who nourished flornry ambitions for many years, told him she'd have a few rug- gestiona.

"The Story of Temple Drake", based on a novel by William Faulkner and directed by Stephen Roberts, tells of a girl who refuses the offer of marriage of an attorney she loves! because she fears she'll ruin his wife, and drives off with a'drunken college' boy in search of more liquor. Their Iride ends in a crash, from which they find themselves virtual emerge to prisoners of a big-city gangster In д remote country hideaway. Ie sends the bay back to town, kills the only man who tries to protect the girl, and draga her off with him.

The attorney in love with her In assigned to defend the man falsely accused of the murder. In his search for evidence, he finds the girl with the gangster. The events that fol- Inw bring the film to a startling climax.

"Cavalcade"

The long-awaited Fox Filar pro- duction of Noel Coward's "Cavalcado". makes its local bow to-day at the King's Theatre,

"Cavalcado", which ran for a solid year at the famous Drury Lane Theatre in London as a play, at- tracted moro attention than any drama produced in England in a million generation. More than

500

people stormed the theatre to It during its run, and it is expected that the screen audience will exceed that a hundred fold.

"Cavalcale" is a story of how world evants affect the home and the fami- ly. It is the story of the Marryote, a middle claaa family consisting of Jana and Robert, the mother und father; their two sons, Edward and Joo; their servants, Bridges, the butler, Ellen, his wife, and Fanny, their daughter.

It covers the period from 1000 to the present day, and the absorbing story is etched against a vivid back- ground of historical happenings dur- ing that time,
