Photoplay Magazine Advertising Section Plays and Players (Continued i CRITICISMS of Anita Stewarts picture, "Harriet and the Piper," repeatedly mentioned that Myrtle Stcdman, who plays in important part, is too young to be con- vincing as the mother of two grown-up chil- dren. Perhaps the critics are unaware of the existence of Lincoln Stedman. who is rapidly nearing his twentieth birthday, plays in pictures with Charles Ray. and is be- sides, Myrtle's son. WE always knew it would happen sooner or later and so did you. Then it's no •urprise to learn that Jim Kirkwood. fol- lowing his wonderful comeback as a leading man after an absence directing, is to be starred by Allan Dwan.

THK most interesting thing about the Golden Wedding Anniversary Day given October 27th at the Christie Film Company, i- the fact that it celebrated the ninth an- niversary of the opening of the first studio in Hollywood. It doesn't seem possible that it's only nine years since film making Ugan in earnest, does it? What did we ever do without 'em? ONE of the bright lights of Broadway right now is Roberta Arnold, who is playing to packed audience- and general icclaim in Frank Craven's clever new com- edy. "The First Year."
