NOTES FROM THE THEATRES

What price glory? Hollywood is famous for its ox-royalty and former dignitarios cking out an existence in the movies. Even current celebrities are sometimes found at the studios. bat recently one of the strangest episodes in the annals of pictures came to light. During the making. of Warner Baxter's latest Fox ple- turo, "Hell in the Heavens", which comes on Bunday to the King's Theatre, an autographed photo of Baron von Richtofen, famous German war ace, was needed for a scene. Naturally Director John Blystone and Producer Al Rockett wanted the authentic thing. After much scurry- ing about the property department discovered that there are but alx real personally autographed pictures of Richtofen in the world, and two of them are in Hollywood. The first owner was approached for the loan of his treasure, but he wouldn't oven listen to any proposition. The second was very reluctant. Finally he agreed to lend it for two days' shooting, at $10 per day. Prominent in the cast of "Hell in the Heavens" aro Conchita Montenegro, Russell Hardie, Ralph Vinco Mundin. Morgan, Herbert Barnett, Andy Devine, William Stack, J. Carrol Nash, William Stelling and Vincent Carato.

"College Rhythra"

A College comedy, with a back- ground of beautiful girls and choruses, and brand now hit tunes by Gordon and Revel, Paramount's "College Rhythm," opens to-day at the Alham- hra Theatre, Introducing Joe Fenner, nationally famous radio comedian in his first feature picture role, "College Rhythn." features Lanny Ross, Jack Oakle, Helen Mack, Lyda Roberts, and Mary Brian in a cart that includes the 160 members of the All-American Co-Ed chorus. The story deals with the college rivalry of a piccolo player and an All-American half-back who ξανά tho same girl. When they graduate they carry their feud and their collegiate ideas over into the department store business. Under the impetus furnished by Penner; Ross and Oakie, their respective de partment stores are gradually trans. formed into campuses with girls, bands and football tean.n. The big football game between the competing #tores serves to bring the twe rivals together and to convince the.. that they have been loving the wrong girla. With their romantic dificulties settled, the dispute is at an end. The bevy of new tunes written by Gordon and Revel, celebrated Hollywood nong- writers for "College Rhythm" include "Let's Give Three Chicers for Love," "Tako n Number from Two to

and "Stay As Sweet. As You Are." LeRoy Prinz arranged all the chorus routines for "College Rhythm" which wne directed by Norman Tourog.

"Uncertain Lady"

An amusingly told tale of woman's emancipation in this modern day and age is unfolded in "Uncertain Lady," Universal's romantle and wilty come dy drag, showing on the screen of Star Theatre to-day. Genevieve To bin portrays the fascinating role of a modern wife who is a business woman first, while Edward Everett Horten supplies a barrage of Inughs with his comic capers, so Cuinillar to movie fans.
