His tour includes the principal cities, including London, Paris, Vienna, Rome and several other places of importance and interest.

Eddie Cantor'.s personal appearance in London will .be his second since 1914, when he and his bride first came here for their honeymoon. In that ye:ir he appo.Trod in Andre Chariot's revue, and introduced the song. "I Love the Ladies." Eddie's struggle for success has been a very real thing. September I'Jtli, 1931. NEXT WEEK'S COMPLETE FILM STORIES. EDWARD G. ROBINSON "SMART MONEY." There was not a man who could beat him at gambling. He became famous for his lack at cards and at last the law went after him. They framed a girl to betray hipd. A crook drama that is one long thrill from start to finish. " THE LAST RIDE." A racketeer is " taken Jor a ride " 'by a rival and killed. When his brother found the body he swore revenge. A brave girl becomes his ally in his dangerous task. A gripping story, starring Dorothy Revier, Tom Santschi and Charles Morton. ALSO The fourth episode of our gripping new serial of the Fire Brigade, starring Tim McCoy and Marion Shockley : " HEROES OF THE FLAMES." Left an orphan when he was on'y two, the streets became his playground, and he contributed not a little to the bedlam and chaos that is New York's East Side. When twelve years of age he began selling newspapers, and also picked up dance steps from those who knew the art. Ho was keen to go on the stage, and at Minor's Music Hall in the Bowery scored his first success during an exhibition of amateur talent. Next he appeared as a singing waiter at a Coney Island open-air cafe, and in 1911 was given his first start as a vaudeville artiste in New York. Real pojjularity did not come to him, however, vmtil some time after his re- turn to the States from London. His silent appearances on the screen in "K^l Boots" and "Special Delivery" did not give mucli scope for his talent. Eventually he became more famous on the stage, and in 1928 appeared as the star in "Whoopee." The play ended its successful run in March 1930, after which Eddie went to Hollywood for the film version and wider fame. He Knew. Matt Moore, who is Hollywood's most" confirmed bachelor, was being directed in a love scene. "Look here," said the director, grow- ing impatient after three or four re- takes, "don't you know what love is?" "Yeah," drawled Matt. "It's a term that's used in tennis." Fog in Summer. A tog indoors on a sunny day is a curious thing to have. But this queer happening for the screen was necessary when filming a November scene for "A Night Like This" at the British and Dominions Studio at Elstree. It was a fine sunny afternoon with only a few clouds flecking the sky, but within the studio a thick fog enveloped everybody and everything. Along a London street there could be seen moving slowly the ghostly figure of policemen and a few other pedestrians. A spraying apparatus had created the fog, and as soon as tho scene was over those who could were glad to get out and realise it was still summer. Veteran Canine Artiste. About nine years ago in the silent version of "Penrod and Sam," there appeared a dog named Cameo who played the part of Duke. This same fox-terrier, despite her age, is still full of vigour, and will be seen barking her way through the talking version of the same picture, in which Leon Janney is the star. Incidentally, it may be of interest to know that Cameo is the only dog owning a motor-car in her own name. She has also her own room and her own little bed in her master's home. Answers to Questions.
