Stanwyck Starred in |

Title Role

John Boles, Ann Shirley! And Barbara O'Neil

Share Honors.

By JAMES THRASHER

Just like everyone in the business of artistic creation, motion picture producers have their favorite “children.” Samuel Goldwyn’s happens to be “Stella Dallas,” which will open at Loew’s on Friday. Mr, Goldwyn made the silent version of “Stella Dallas” in 1925. He | still thinks it’s the best thing he | ever did, or at least he thought]

so before the present picture was made. At any rate, it is one of the

few outstanding hits of silent days | that has been remade. Mr. Gold- | wyn evidently liked the story well | enough to tempt fate a second time. The first “Stella Dallas” really | was a hit. It played the country’s | key cities at $2-top roadshow prices. The picture's second edition may be seen, at least in Indianapolis, at-the prevailing tariff. Barbara Stanwyck has the new picture’s title part, with John Boles and Ann Shirley sharing the honors. Also in the cast are Barbara O'Neil, seen at English’s last vear |! with Katharine Hepburn's “Jane Eyre” company, and Alan Hale,

Belle Bennett Was Stella

How many names can you recall | from the cast of a dozen years ago? | Certainly the late Belic Bennett, | who played Stella. Mr. Goldwyn “discovered” Miss Bennett in an obscure stock company and gave her the part which won her fame | overnight. This was Miss Bennett: S | first and last important picture.

Ronald Colman played Stephen Dallas, whom Mr. Boles is now por- | traying. Lois Moran, who since has | deserted films for the stage, played | Miss Shirley's part of the daugh-! ter. Alice Joyce did the part currently plaved by Miss O'Neil, and the role of Richard was done by sons of well-known men in both pictures. Douglas Fairbanks Jr, appeared in the earlier picture, and the present Richard is Tim Holt, | Jack Holt's son.

For directors, Mr. Goldwyn has put his trust in a pair of Kings. Henry King, who megaphoned such | successful melodramas as “Tolabie David,” “Lightnin’” “Over the Hill” and “Way Down Fast,” directed the | first production. The present pic- | ture’s director is King Vidor, who | did “The Big Parade.” “Street! Scene” and “Hallelujah” among many others.

Barbara Turns Blond |

“Stella Dallas” was taken from the novel of the same title by Olive Higgins Prouty. It was one of the first | best-sellers to be filmed. Incidentally, there has been a reissue of the book with the new picture's appear- | ance. In keeping with the “tradition” established by Miss Bennett, Miss! Stanwyck is playing Stella as a blond. But not without serious comment on the part of her fans.

“You would think that I had dved | my hair a peach-violet and that it | didn't belong to me anyway,” Miss Stanwyck is quoted as saying while the picture was being made. "I have received more than 2000 letters.”

Fans Protest Dyeing

The star did attempt to do the part in a wig, but gave up after the first day in a fit of overheated horror. | After that she dyed her naturally red tresses, and the letters started | pouring in, “Some of the letters proved their | writers are anxious to see what I will be like with new hair,” Miss Stanwyck said. “Others seemed to! think that I have done a dangerous thing, and that my hair will never be the same again. Some of the let- | ters took me to task for it as though I had done a daring thing, and others seemed to rejoice and noted that such a change was what I had been needing for a long time.” Which has led Miss Stanwyck to decide that a popular star daren't call her soul—or hair—her own.

Small Town Girl Starred In New Film

Geddes S. D., Stirred by Village Belle's Success In Hollywood.

Times Special HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 10.—There are great doings in the tiny town of Geddes, S. D., these days. Its population is only two over 1000, but its enthusiasm is that of a metropolis. For one of the town belle, Miss Evelyn Daw, has been chosen for a moving picture career. Not only that—she will star opposite James Cagney in Grand Na- | tional’s forthcoming picture, “Something to Sing About.” It all came about when a Philharmonic musi- | cian told Producer Victor Schertz- | inger about her. She had been | studying for opera. | Mr. Schertzinger gave her the | manuscript of “Something to Sing | About,” theme melody from the pic- | ture, and asked her to come back] the next day and sing it for him. | She offered it exactly as he had in mind, and the result was a con- | tract. Miss Daw is 20, and her hair is redder than Cagney’s. She left Da- | kota Wesleyan University at Mitch- | ell, S. D, four years ago to go to | California. She wanted to be a | singer and hadn't the pictures in | mind at all. | |

She will return to Geddes for the opening of her picture. Both theaters—the Ritz and the Temples— | are bidding for it. Ome seats 350, | the other 300.

Eddie Dowling and Robinson Smith are the play's producers. Mr. Dowling's name is familiar, but not in the field of Shakespearean drama. He wrote and appeared in such musical comedy hits as Irene and Mary,” “Honeymoon | Lane” and “Thumbs Up.” Aided Victor Herbert

With Victor Herbert he wrote “Velvet Lady,” and alone, “Greater Love,” which established Vera Gor- | don as a star, He also wrote “Sidewalks of New York,” which starred his wife, Rae Dooley. Mr. Dowling's screen contribu- | tions include “Rainbow Man,” in | which he starred; “Blaze of Glory”

And he admits writing three as yet unproduced plays.

Woman Directs

Margaret Webster, who directed “Richard II.” is one of the few women directors in the business, Her mother is the famous English actress, Dame May Whitty, seen recently on the screen in “Night Must Fall” and “The 13th Chair.” Though born in America during her mother's tours, Miss Webster has spent 30 or her 32 years in London, where she has been one of the leading actresses

for the past 10 years. She played the Duchess of York when John

She also was in the London company of John Barrymore's Hamlet, and has appeared extensively in Shakespeare and Shaw repertory. As an adapter, Miss Webster's latest venture is “Royal Highness,” in which Ruth Chatterton will be starred this coming season. At present, however, Miss Webster is preparing to resume directing. She will supervise rehearsals of “Riche ard TI” prior to its New York ree opening on Sept. 15. After a few weeks in New York and Boston, Mr, Evans and his company will commence their coast-to-coast tour.
