NO SHOOTING
A story involving gangsters— l
without a single shooting that is \
portrayed on the screen.
This is an unusual angle of *
“One Night at Susie’s,” the \
First National Vitaphone pro- j
cJuction showing at the Coliseum t
Theatre, Tuesday, Wednesday j
and Thursday.
The picture portrays the life j
cf a woman “fence,” a receiver j
of stolen property, played by j
Helen Ware, the well known ]
stage actress. Although under- I
world life runs all through it, I
the picture nas plenty ot con
trast in characterization and
environment. A fine love story
furnishes the romance in the
production, with Billie Dove and
Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., taking
the leading roles.

as “The Radio Girl.” She plays
the part of the waif of the apple

her love for a humble youth to
win fame abroad as a singer,

Winston, Charles Winninger and
Marion Byron. Alan Crosland

Leon Errol, Mitzi Green and
ijasu fins Decsuiie intimately
acquainted during the filming of
“Finn and Hattie,” the Coliseum
attraction for the last time to
night, in which they are all
featured.
Sequences in the picture,
filmed in a Pullman car, pro
vided quarters so narrow that
they were jammed together in
an aisle with two cameras, two
directors, ten pieces of hand
luggage and a stand of Kleig
lights.
The setting was so cramped
that Mitzi complained that Er
rol, taking time out to mob his
forehead, wiped hers by mis
take just at the time she was
having her best close-up.
“Finn and Hattie” is an adap
tation of Donald Ogden Stew
art’s widely-read “Haddock”
books. Norman Taurog and Nor
man McLeod directed the pic
ture which includes Lilyan Tash
man, Jackie Searl and Regis

“YOUNG AS YOU FEEL”
-X——
Based On Ade’s Farce*
“Father And The Boys;”
Dorsay In Picture

“ ‘Young As You Feel’ is one
play I never did get to see so I
had to play it myself to find out
what it was all about,” Will
Rogers remarked after complet
ing his latest Fox comedy drama
ing by that title, which is com
ing to the Coliseum Theatre on
Saturday and Sunday.
“They called it ‘Father And
The Boys’ when William H.
Crane first played it on the stage
but you know we don’t mind a
little thing like getting a new
title when we make a picture at

a famous play,” he added.
“I was in vaudeville when the
play first appeared. My wife saw
it and said, ‘Will there’s a great
play and I want you to go and
see it.’ Somehow I never got the
time. And I wanted like sixty to
see it, too. Crane was a great
friend of mine in those days, and
I liked George Ade, the author
as well as any writer I ever knew
“Crane toured the country in
the play, and later he brought it
back for a successful revival; but
it seemed like I was never in the
town where it was showing.”
Frank Borzage directed
“Young As You Feel” which
boasts of a powerful supporting
cast headed by Fifi Dorsay and
Lucien Littlefield.
