This was discovered by Douglas MacLcan while making his first independent comedy production, "Going Up," which is having its first Los Angeles showing at Grauman's Metropolitan this week. The script called for the plane to stand on its head while taxi-ing over the ground. At 10,000 feet, this would have been easy. On terra firma, however, it was a dangerous maneuver, assures Doug. "Going Up," is a delightful aviation farce, adapted from the musical comedy success. Marjorie Daw is leading woman and Edna Murphy, Francis McDonald, Hallam Cooley, Hughie Mack and others arc in the cast. The remainder of the program includes a second week of the famous "Lousiana Five." syncopators and Ham Crawford who are said to have stopped the show regularly last week. "Getting Gertie's Garter" finished its remarkable run at the Egan Theater Saturday night, giving exactly 135 times in Los Angeles, which is the longest time it has ever played in one city with the exception of New York. The theater will be closed for two weeks to permit of renovating and_ redecorating and the regular winter season will open Thursday, November 1, with the first performance on any stage of a new comedy by Frederic and Fanny Hatton entitled, "The Waning Sex," which boasts a cast of distinguished players. Opening its fourth week of showing, Charles Chaplin's first directorial effort, "A Woman of Paris," is attracting crowds that are taxing the capacity of the new Criterion Theater. The picture, which has proved a revelation to Los Angeles playgoers, places Chaplin among the great directors of the motion picture world. Edna Purviance is a revelation in the role of Marie St. Clair, the small-town girl about whom the story centers. The prologue, "Nocturne," conceived and supervised by Mr. Chaplin himself, has scored a tremendous hit, calling forth outburst after outburst of spontaneous applause at every performance. The Criterion Symphonv artists, with Adolf Tandler conducting, have already establish -d a firm place for themselves in the hearts of local music lovers. Charles Ray's production of "The Courtship of Myles Standish," remains a fourth week at Grauman's Million Dollar Theatre, thereby proving the popularity of his first venture into the ranks of actor-producer. Ray has embraced in this picture the entire adventure of the Pilgrim Fathers, making it worthy of its historic importance, and might be well titled. "The Founding of a Nation." The famous love story of John Alden and Priscilla is the binding element in the picturing of a thrilling chapter in our national career. A brilliant cast supports Charles Ray which includes Enid Bennett, Sam De Grasse, E. Alyn Warren, Joseph Dowling and William Sullivan. The prologue to the feature,' "The Days of the Mayflower," with its miniature operetta presented by 50 people will be retained. Dancing of every style, singing and plenty of comedy are the features at the Hillstreet Theatre." Heading the aggregation of entertainers will be "Stars of the Future," a unique production featuring Jesse Fordyce, Pearl Hamilton, Violet Hamilton, Arnette Creighton, Joan Page and Helen Schroeder. These six little starlets recently left Broadway shows to become feaures in vaudeville and a gorgeously staged act has been woven about their singing and dancing numbers which have proven popular everywhere. Also on this same bill will be' those two popular musical comedy stars John T. Murray and Vivien Oakland, whose comedy and singing, in Jtheir act, "Songs and Satires" has made them always welcome in every theatre. Maude Powers and Vernon Wallace will offer "Georgia On Broadway," a neat little skit comprising quiet humor and harmonious songs. Bob Carleton and Julia Ballew will be present — Bob at the piano playing some of his own songs and dainty little Julia singing them in the most approved manner. Pepita Granados, with Frances Drager, Marian Dale and Grace Muroff, will appear in a "Spanish Oriental Novelty," offering a number of daring dances. Completing the vaudeville will be Willie Rolls who tells no more about himself than just adding under his name "He Does."? The exclusive photoplay showing will be "Women Men Marry," with E. K. Lincoln nad Hedda Hopper. Other features of the hill will be Allan Hall and the Tiny Symphony Orchestra, the William Duncan Chapter-Play "The Steel Trail," a comedy "Snookey's Treasure Island, Hillstreet International News and Aesop's Fables. Moving briskly through its romance and thriling adventure. "The Spanish Dancer." with Pola Negri as its scintillating star continues to delight at Grauman's Rialto. It is a tale of old Spain, redolent with the nicturesque settings and colorful characters in which a disgraced nobleman and his merry king, fight for the favor of a lovely Gypsy girl. There are intrigues, love scenes and duels and through it all is the magnetic personality of the young Polish star. Others in the cast to distinguish themselves are Antonio Moreno, Wallace Beery. Kathlyn Williams, Adolphe Menjou, Gareth Hughes and Robert Agnew, with Herbert Brenon, director, touching it with his genius.
