Too many of her confreres have already drifted out there, found no more future than is possible beneath the Broadway bright lights. A show girl is relegated to the same category, seems, no matter what the locale— New York, Chicago or Hollywood. Her real ambition lies in the legitimate theater. She nurses a fond hope that some day a bona fide dramatic producer will sense some semblance of talent in her. Contrary to popular belief, she reads a great deal.

Movie Held Over Here

Maternity Picture Moves To Apollo for Second Week.

After a quiet, unspectacular, but successful, week at the Circle, “The Birth of a Baby” moved to the Apollo today for another seven days. The film, a presentation of the American Committee on Maternal Welfare, opened rather slowly, but picked up business steadily during the last week. Though it has been the subject of alternate censorship and unqualified endorsement by medical, civic and social authorities elsewhere, “The Birth of a Baby's” Indianapolis showing has been

marked by little volubility in either |

direction. “It is strictly a family picture,” savs A. W. Baker, Circle manager. “The few morbidly curious attended during the first two days. But since then most of our patrons have been mothers with their daughters. Sometimes the grandmother has come along, too. “We haven't had a single complaint,” Mr. Baker asserts, “either from patrons leaving the theater or by telephone afterward. There hasn't been much unsolicited commendation, either. People seem to accept it much as they do any other picture.”

FILM SOLDIERS ARE WOUNDED

HOLLYWOOD, July 1 (U. P.).— Twenty-five movie soldiers were the only casualties today of one of the biggest film fights in years, 500 armor and mail-clad extras wielding a battering ram, swords, crossbows and daggers in a re-enactment of the Burgundians' seige of Paris. It is for the Ronald Colman picture, “If I Were King.” A doctor and nurse found chief injuries were skinned noses from helmets slipping down over faces from banging broadswords. Two were kicked by horses.
