I 112 The popular Paul Kelly and Maxine Doyle feed Paul's horse, "Kellymackaye." Paul's latest cinema opuses are ''Here Comes Trouble" and "The Song and Dance Man." by the entire outfit, and evenings were gala occasions, with Gladys Swarthout and John Boles handing out a few thousand dollars worth of grand opera. The barnyard scenes look most picturesque and pleasant as you see and hear them. But they provided more trouble than all the rest of the scenery put together. Some fifty cows, chickens, pigs, etc., had been rounded up as part of the local color. All would go well until some impassioned love scene was well under way. Then would come the low, sad mooing of a cow, or a few loud disgruntled grunts from a porker. Production experts figured the live stock cost the studio approximately three thousand cash in lost time ... It was William LeBoron's Idea to do another "Rio Rita" with this one. For in that old-timer he had introduced a brand new comedy team, the Messrs. Wheeler and Woolsey. So this time he Introduced another team, Willie Howard and hierb Williams, with the same high hopes. This is their first crack at the movies, though both are well known in show business . . . The debut of opera stars in films has been made much of. The remarkable thing about these songbirds isn't that they have forsaken patrician opera for plebeian movies, but that they have forsaken many of the operatic standbys — chiefly, professional jealousy. Miss Swarthout, on arriving in Hollywood, leased Grace Moore's home. For "inspiration" she said. And to introduce Lily Pons, a potential rival In movies. Miss S. gave the swankiest party that even Hollywood has seen to date. *The Lone Wolf Returns (Columbia) Although the title seemed to promise something really exciting — like adventures with the pack in the Frozen North — what do we get? A pack of jewel thieves, that's what. And to make it far, far worse, sophisticated jewel thieves. Oh, very. Alelvyn Douglas, smartly clipped as to accent and mustachio, is the Lone Wolf, champion gem snatcher. A rival in the profession and the L. W. are both concentrating on the Stewart sparklers, than which no collection in the world can outshine. But when Gail Patrick turns out to be Miss Stewart, you can imagine Melvyn's embarrassment. Love blooms, tliough Gail gets pretty peeved when she finds out who Melvyn is. However, he proves his true nature by saving her jewels from the rival meanie, thereby winning Miss Stewart and the collection for himself. You can draw your own conclusions, but we should add that Miss Patrick is very pleasant to look upon, and Tala Birell, who plays a lady thief, is both attractive and talented. Preview Postscripts This is the first time the Lone Wolf has been at large since the days of Bert Lytell. Melvyn Douglas' real name Is Hesselberg, his father being the well-known Russian composer, Edouard Hesselberg. He's married to Helen Gahogon, Broadway actress ond lately of the screen. They have a written contract that neither will interfere with the other's careers or temperaments . . . Douglas Dumbrllle Is an onion farmer from Canada. What's more, he Intends going bock to Canada when he's mode enough money to raise only pedigreed onions. Claims he's the only actor alive today who's been broke in every city In the United States . . . Tola Birell got her first break by understudying Marlene Dietrich In Berlin. They were both working under the supervision of Max Relnhordt at the time. Since then, Tola has played in most of the European capitals and In English and French pictures. But she thinks Hollywood is swell and tops any other city In the world . . . Those apartment exterior shots provided plenty of trouble and expense. It should be o simple and economical matter to photograph buildings for exterior scenes, but as in this case it usually develops that the cheaper way is to construct the building right on the lot and be done with It. Around Los Angeles' exclusive Wllshire district there are many apartments. One was selected for a scene on this, but by the time the cameras were up, some fifteen minutes, a crowd , of five hundred was jamming the streets, endongering the cast, crew and cameras . . . ■ Visitors were strictly banned from a set on this picture. It was the one where Mr. Douglas takes a bath. But at noon a couple of ladies were allowed to go on, since the cast was at lunch. Imagine their horror to see Melvyn still sitting in the tub, calmly munching a sandwich. * Muss 'Em Up (RKO-Radio) This is a conglomeration of kidnappers, , cops, killers and comedians. If you once ■
