I On The Screen

MURRETTE "Two-Bit Seats" at the Murrette today and Saturday. "Two Bits," the price men used to pay for a hair cut, isn't much money in these days with old Mr. H. C. L. at our heels, but one "Two-Bit" piece surely changed the life events of Jimmy Mason. Jimmy couldn't get an orchestra seat to see the wonderful lady in tights eo he invested "Two-Bits" and went to the gallery. There he found a seat beside a wonderful girl. He sat to the finish but didn't see the show her eyes blurred everything commonplace and then they became acquainted when she accidentally jabbed bim with a hatpin. The next night he asked her to go with him to an orchestra box. But Alice wouldn't listen. But she would ro to the "Two-Bit" gallery. And they ewnt often, but Jimfy always suffered for fear that Faulkner, his boss, would see him and think hici a terribly cheap sport. But Alice told Jimmy not to waiste money on seats in the orchestra. And so it went. Finally the blow falls when his employer sees him and Alice exiiing from the gallery. Hope Is gone when he is called before the boss the next morning and asked how long he had been patronizing the gallery, but all 1h well and the sun shines again when "the old man" approves and proves it with a promotion. Then Alice tells him that all along she had a definite idea in preferring 'Two-Rlt Seats." You are entitled to ono guess. You're right. WASHINGTON The new Goldwyn picture. "Sunshine Alley." starring Mae Marsh, tame very near costing a great deal more than the actual figure just beause an extra man insisted on wearing a number of medals on his chest. This man was one of the musicians In the series of scenes dealing with an elaborate fancy dress ball, and being an artist of temperament, he couldn't be persuaded by any manner of means that his medals were literally outshining everything else on the Ftage. These decorations were mostly lacquered affairs that reflected the 'ight of the great Cooper-Hewitts overhead until tire musician fairly dazzled all beholders. As he turned about or swayed with the rhythm of the dance he was playing, he glittered like the prisms of an old-fashioned lamp. This would not have mattered greatly had it not been observed that the occasional glare was producing an effect on the film that caremamen callfd "light-struck." In other words the film at those points would show nothing at all. Just how serious the matter was may be judged when it 1b stated that more than two hundred persons in elaborate costumes and a setting representing some $10,000 were involved in the work then being done on the stage. At the Washington todaw and Saturday. -
