"How do you like being an actor?"
This question was put to Jimmy Starr
who is one of the fast-talking report
ers in "Scatterbrain," at the Plym
outh Theatre on Monday.
"Actor! Why, I couldn't act to save
my life!”
But as for giving the public a real
interpretation of what newspaper re
porters are really like, Starr thinks
that he does that with gusto in the
picture. He thinks some actors,
playing the part of newspaper men,
have given his hallowed profession a
black eye.
Actors usually play a newspaper
man with a jug of whiskey under one
arm, and nothing to do but sit around
and tell jokes between drinks, ac
cording to the columnist,
"And we never touch a drop at
least, not until our work is finished,”
Starr affirmed.
Starr has played a newspaper re
porter in a number of pictures, his

Western Fans Get
Action Saturday
There’s a double treat in store for
you “Hopalong" Cassidy fans in that
cinema cowboy’s latest adventure,
"Three Men Prom Texas,” at the
Plymouth Theatre Saturday.
For, not only will you find your
self well provided with fast action,
hard riding and motion as only “Hop
along " seems to be able to deliver it—
and Harry Sherman to porduce it—
but the action takes place in what is
perhaps one of the most exciting per
iods in California's history. The per
iod is the time, not so very long ago,
when unscrupolous land dealers, re
sorting to every trick and device in
the pirate’s handbook, looked upon
the huge estates of the Spanish dons
who had been settled there since the
Seventeenth Century, found it good,
and calmly set about to wrest it from
their rightful owners.
In "Three Men From Texas,” Cas
sidy, a Texas Ranger, is called upon
by a community in California to come
in and rid the region of these land
pirates who are not above murder
and kidnapping. Cassidy, it seems,
cannot leave Texas, but his pal
"Lucky" goes. “Lucky” gets himself
into plenty of trouble in the process,
including the losing of his heart to
the beautiful daughter of a dispo
sessed Spanish landowner, and it be
comes necessary for “Hopalong” to
ride not only to his rescue, but to
clean up the land grabbing racket.

Riskin’s "John Doe" as played by
Gary Cooper is everyman.
John Doe is the man who reaches
into tne return slot of a pay tele

one forgot. He is also the guy who
will give his last dime to a beggar on

anything within the law to beat a
