The plot opens with the Ward houehold, headed by Robert Fleming Ward and his son, John, both lawyers, in destitute circumstances. The mortgage (there's that thing again) is just about due, and Sister Helen can't have dates because she doesn't belong to the Country Club and Ma can't afford to go anywhere. ‘She just has to sit at home and write articles on ‘“‘Pollution of the Wabash Riyer.”

Everything works out] perfectly. It ends up with the old political boss, George Hovey, offering Robert Ward the prosecuting attorney job, because George wants to meet Campbell. ‘ Then just when all looks bright, there comes a telegram that the Campbellls are notcoming after all. And at the same moment, John and his girl friend, Oodles Hovey, crash her airplane into the Ward front porch.

That seems as if it should end the play.

The 12 costumes the actress wears were designed by Walter Plunkett, well-known designer, who was brought from New York.

Hollywood Studio Goes Back to Simple-Sweet' Story Plot

‘The Holy Lie,’ Title of Picture Portraying Mother Love

o as Solution for, Children’ S Problems.

BY RUTH M’TAMMANY Times Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD, July 7—"“The Holy Lie” is the unusual title of an unusual story in procuction at Fox Western. The story is styled “simple sweet” and is. one of those-rare interludes between tales of wild adventure and cver-dressed histQrical yarns characteristic of ambitious

Hollywood.

It begins in a small Tyrolean village where the elderly, blind Frau Lind receives gifts and letters from her four children in the United

States. sends news of a career as manager of an automobile agency. She decides to visit them by way of a surprise and also to visit a -well known eye surgeon in New York. But the prima donna is a chorus girl and the automobile executive a taxi driver. The story unfolds in a series of amusing: and pathetic scenes. Frau Lind regains her eyesight and, straightening out her children’s affairs, returns to a little home in the Tyrol.

Jane Darwell as Mother

Jane Darwell, a stage favorite, is Frau Lind. “This is my first blind role in

pictures,” she said, “and I am delighted to be other than a chatty, humorous ccok or an austere houseIt is a delightful story and I find use in the role for all my experiences in the theater.

ing girl of stage and screen suecesses, plays Nina Lind, one of Frau Lind's children who went to New York. We found her dancing and singing a number before a background of beautiful chorines of a Broadway musical show. Sammy Lee, dance director ,was in charge, and Harry Axt, composer, was pounding out his rythmic tune on the piano. “They offered me a double for these dances,” says Claire, “but I always end up by doing them myself. I am not a professional dancer but I can dance enough.” Evelyn Venable, Arline Judge and Joyce Compton are also in the cast.

Fred Stone Gets Hair Cut at Last

Times Specinl HOLLYWOOD, July 7.—Fred Stone says he feels almost nude. He has his hair cut to normal length for the first time since he entered the movies. Mr. Stone heads the cast of “Grand Jury,” in which he plays the role of an everyday citizen. From the time he started work on “Alice Adams,” his first film, until recently,. Mr. Stone had been required to wear his ‘locks long to the point of ames} covering up his ears.

Others in the cast are ‘Janet Gaynor, Lew Ayres, Sally Eilers, Norman Foster, Louise Dresser, Frank Craven and Victor Jory. During the other three weeks of the current month, the Apollo is to present a varied program; opening with “Public Enemy's Wife,” starring Pat O’Brien and Margaret Lindsay, which is to occupy the Apollo screen starting Friday. It is a G-man story in which the G-man

wife. Cesar Romero and. Robert Armstrong also are in the cast. New. Temple Film Out © Beginhing Friday, July 24, the
