They are Gary Cooper, Richard Arlen and Mary Brian. All thiee have been un der contract to Paramount since the beginning of their film careers.

Among the latest to leave stage laurels behind for greater induce ments of the screen are Vivian and ! Rosetta Duncan, known throughout music-land as the Duncan sisters, who have scored consuicous sucesses in Winter Garden shows on this side of the Atlantic as well as in a number of productions “over theah,” where the Prince of Wales set a precedent in popularizing them. The Duncan Sisters will feel right at home in pictures inasmuch as their present starring vehicle “Its a Great Life,” which will be shown at the Peoples Theatre Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, is not their first screen experience. i^ast year uiey apperaed in a screen version of their stage hit, “Topsy and Eva.” “Its a Great Life,” however, is the first pic ture in which they are given an op portunity to sing and wisecrack and as everyone who has seen them on the stage knows, the Duncan Sisters j without their songs and wisecracks ; are only shadows of their real selves. ' Important features of the picture of ! of course are its songs and dances, the former of which were written by Bal lard MacDonald, who will go down to posterity for his “Trail of The Lonesome Pine,” and Dave Dreyer, whose “Me and my Shadow,** swept the country a season ago. The dances were staged by Sammy Lee, who has done notable work staging the dances for Broadway musical comedies. An added attraction of “Its a Great Life” is the fact that it has been done with technicolor sequences un der the direction of Mrs. Nataiie Kal mus, wife of Dr. Herbert Kalmus, who is president of Technicolor, Inc. TALKIES ARE NOW SUPREME, ASSERTS john McCormick ■J That talking pwtures have increas ed the orte’tainment values of the s.Jreen tremeiuhni.-ly in offering a combination of the best stage and motion picture talent, is pointed out by John McCormick, who produced for F irst National, Colleen Moore’s new est dialog film, ‘Footlights and Fools’ which comes to the Rosemary Thea tre Monday Tuesday and Wednesday. McCormick, who is Miss Moores’ hus band, declares that the development of talking pictures has brought about a survival of the fittest players of both stage and screen, giving oppor tunities to actors and actresses of le gitimate and motion picture plays who arc capable in both pantomine and dialog. “Much more is required of the talking picture player than was de manded by either the stage or the screen before,” said McCormick. This is obviously to the advantage of the theatregoer, who sees far more con vincing and entertaining portrayals than either the legitimate theatre or the silent screen could offer. “Virginia Lee Corbin and Mickey Bennett^ who have been in pictures since childhood, triumphantly sur vived the transition to talkies and each gives a splendid portrayal in support of Miss Moore. Several mem bers of the cast have had both stage ana screen experience, upon which they capatilized for talking pictures. Edward Martindel. Adrienne d’Ambri court, Frederic Howard and Nellie Blv Baker are among their number. “Footlights and Fools,” an all dia log First National and Vitaphone special, was directed by William A. Seiter. -□ Historic Sailing Vessel Locale of Thrilling Film Full rigged sailing vessels are ra pidly becoming extinct. Each year motion picture companies are experi encing greater difficulty in securing sea rovers for use in productions. A ship that has been a favorite for the purpose appeared in its last picture when Columbia’s “Hurricane,” which is to be the attraction at the Rose mary Theatre on Thursday and Fri day was made. Immediately follow ing its use in the picture, “The Bo SPRING SUITS. Why not let us take your measure for that new Spring Suit? In selecting Clothes . . .

The reason for the destruction was its owners found carrying expenses too great to warrant maintaining the craft for picture use. In her day “The Bohemia” was one of the most venturous vessels on the ocean. It was built in Bath, Maine, and made of pitch pine with copper and galvanized fastenings. The craft was launched in 1875. It is H>6 feet in length with a 42 foot beam. The vessel for many years was used in carrying heavy cargo around the world. During that period it touch ed at every important port on the globe, making 28 trips around Cape Horn. The log shows some of the most thrilling experiences in nau lical history. In a typhoon in the South Seas in 1881 the vessel had all of her sails blown away. A similar storm in the same locale furnishes one of the thrilling moments in ‘Hur ricane," in which the vessel made its final appearance. For three weeks, “The Bohemia” lay becalmed in an ocean similar to that described by Coleridge in his "Rime of the An cient Mariner.” RO S E M A R y THEATRE I Rosemary, N. C.
