FORD STERLING IS VERT GIFTED FILMJOMEDIAN A Close-up Study of Movie Comic Proves He Is a Genius. By Gene Cohn. XEA Service Writer NEW YORK. Aug. 14.—1n the verstllity contests Ford Sterling has long since merited the laurel crown. Cast an eye over this list of astounding contrasts: He was captain of Mack Sennett’s Keystone Komedy Kops. yet he paints, cartoons and sculps. He started as a clown when a. boy, and speaks four languages. He cries when he hears ‘'mammy” songs, and owns a villa on the Riviera. He looks like a German comedian, but is a drawing room conversationalist of note. Artist and Pie Target I*e has been the target for umtyhundred mud pies, and his hobby is artistic photography, for which he has won prizes at exhibitions. Harold Lloyd says he’s the funniest man on the screen, and oft stage he's one of the best dressed men in the films. He studied to We a doctor, but Allan Dwan once said he was the “screen's best pantomimist.” Go ahead and figure , out this composite picture, If you can. But it is because of this agility of mind and unflagging interest in many things that this “clown” is one of the most Interesting off or on screen players. Particularly interesting is he at the present moment, since his work •in “The Show Off” will doubtless established him as a mime of great artistry. Not that being head of the Keystone Kops did not require artistry, but the public is not inclined to take the slapstick artist seriously —as' witness the case of Charlie Chaplin. "Inside Dope" Inside film circles Sterling has long since been established as a superior comic. And he has been lauded critically on many occasions. But in “The Show Off” the picture will be his. Sterling got away to his start with John Robinson’s circus, traveled the Mississippi River on a show boat and entered te movies in its earliest days. Time has proved that there was no better school than Mack Sennett’s mud-pie classroom, which graduated Gloria Swanson and many another “serious” star of today. For a time he studied medicine, which got him interested in chemicals and brought about his photographic hobby. More than a hundred of his subjects now are being shown in a British salon.

Vltaphone had not only come up to expectations; it had exceeded them, aqd the Warners, who had the courage to finance the des'elopment of the instrument, will undoubtedly now the benefit. At the close of the sdtaphone program. the Warner brothers, presented John Barrymore In “Don Juan” which proved one of the best mediums for his talents that this distinguished player has ever had. Not only did “Don Juan,” directed by Alan Crosland, score decidedly on its merits, but it gave to the youngest of the Barrymores airole that fitted him like his skin-tight doublet and hose. It is a role that Is going to make its player more popular than ever. “Don Juan” had action, beauty. tenseness, a humor of its own and was gorgeously produced. Principal in the supporting cast was Mary Astor. The cast in its entirety left nothing to be desired and the screening of the life of one of the greatest lovers in history will be. chalked up as one of the triumphs scored by Warner brothers. IN SECOND WEEK Director Alfred Santell is now in the second week of filming on the screen version of “Even Stephen,” which is also known under the temporary title of “The Charleston Kid.” Dorothy Mackaill and Jack Mulhall have the featured roles, svith Louise Brooks and Willirm Col lier Jr. in the second leads.

SUMMER TRIP IN EUROPE IS TOLD IN GOOD™ Elizabeth Wicks Writes of Her Journey to Interesting Places. The current issue of the Indianapolis Unitarian Bulletin of All-Souls Unitarian Church contains a letter from Elizabeth Wicks, who is in England with Dr. Frank S. C. Wicks of All Souls Unitarian Church. Site writes of the interesting places she has visited as follows: In the course of our summer journeying we have paused for a few days’ quiet living in a big room with two great windows opening upon the much ploughed piece of water called Spithead. Below us is the broad esplanade of Ryde, Isle of Wight. Beyond that, the row of bathing machines and the long beach. Spithead and the island forts and Nelson's old ship, the “Victory;” last cf all, the little city of Portsmouth on England's southern coast. These wide windows face the east and it is not surprising that this ex--1 panse of sky wakes one early. The scene wassail in silver and gray with just a dash of salmon pink: a quiet sunrise without any unnecessary show, and one that would have gone on Whether we had been there to see it or not. It reminds me forcibly of the way the prince of Wales had risen upon our way the day before. We were entering Portsmouth by bus when we saw people putting up flags and banners. As we went on, these increased till the rather sober little city blushed and rioted with all colors. After a while we learned the prince was expected to visit and receive the freedom of the city. Our progress was halted outside the Victoria barracks, so we set our travelers' bags on the sidewalk and climbed up on a rail fence above them and waited. In the course of half an hour a considerable crowd of men, women, baby carriages, children and dogs had collected. The mounted policemen rallied back and forth gently pushing back the line with his horse’s nose (or tail, which was more effective), and last of all a little Ford softly pushed up into a good- -view. Then we heard a band play and the Scotch regiment cheer, and out of the gates came a red automobile with four men in U. The Prince, in a blue navy uniform with white hat, was not distinguishable except that he alone returned the affectionate cheers of the crowd by a military salute. We took our share of this as we did of sun’s light. We all picked up our dady living and went on our way. In the sky this morning was the long line of swiftly moving clouds
