...vaudeville turn four times a day on seven successive days with an added appearance on Saturday and Sunday. She was, of course, Contralto Ernestine Schumann-Heink who for four years past has been saying farewell to her public. Her vaudeville debut last week accompanied the showing of Mamba, scenario of which was written by her son Ferdinand. Her recipe for endurance : "I know how to sing now. I don't shout as I did when I was young." Mme Schumann-Heink's 69th birthday speech: "Some day, of course, I shall die. Out on the stage I would...
Captain of the Guard (Universal). The fall of the French Empire is tucked into this scenario to give spice to the ardors and difficulties of 18th Century love. A little effort has been made and a good deal of money spent to present a moving picture in the manner of the historical stories that David Wark Griffith directed so successfully many years ago.

In the old Pathe comedies she used to get plastered with dough, tossed in blankets, dumped into ponds out of laundry baskets. Before that she took child roles with Selig. From Pathe she graduated to wearing silver wigs in Cecil B. De Mille's period pictures. Lately, in her 40th to 49th pictures inclusive...
...greatest living exponent of male sex appeal, to Ina Claire (TIME, May 20). It was particularly startling because up to the moment when their marriage was announced Gilbert was supposed to be betrothed to Greta Garbo, the greatest living exponent of female sex appeal, and Miss Claire to Scenario Writer Gene Markey. She had known Gilbert for only a fortnight. They were married in Las Vegas, Nev., before a little group of cowboys, storekeepers and cinema friends. Those members of the cinema public not familiar with Miss Claire's stage reputation were informed in a flood of publicity material...
