Neither the presence of a white collar nor the absence of his team-mate, Wallace Beery, can affect the goodhumor of Raymond Hatton
Mary Ashly is a nice name. But we question whether
it really fits her. Should she not have one, like herself,
with two capital I's?
J^ooking Them Over
Close-Ups From the West Coast
As a master of ceremonies, Eddie Lowe is a great publicity man for Wil' liam Fox. At the opening of "Street Angel," Eddie seemed to have entirely forgotten that he was there to introduce the cast and launched into a glowing tribute to Mr. Fox, Mr. Sheehan, Mr. Wurtzel, the Movietone, the Fox vaudeville theaters, the Fox movie theaters and the wives and relatives of all the executives.
Maybe, it wasn't quite that bad. But I think it was a little worse.
Eddie mentioned each one. of the new Fox pictures individually and superlatively. Starting with that "masterpiece," "What Price Glory," he worked on through "Sunrise" and "Four Sons" to "Street Angel." As a little after-thought, he casually mentioned that these pictures placed the Fox Company undisputably at the head of the production business.
You can imagine the discomfiture of CarlLaemmle, Harry Rapf of M.-G.-M. and B. P. Shulberg of Paramount. They all had paid five dollars to find this out.
Doris Displaces Alma
T ITTLE Doris Dawson is beginning to get some nice '-^ breaks in pictures.
Doris was signed for a small part in Harry Langdon's new picture in support of Alma Bennett, the leading lady. I don't know just how it happened, but before the picture was half over Doris was promoted to the featured part.
They're pretty proud of her out at First National where they hold a five-year contract on her services.

Snoring a Success
In spite of Eddie, Hollywood was not as sold on "Street Angel" as it might have been if the picture had been half as draggy and drawn out and more definitely removed from the influence of "Seventh Heaven." Several celebrated gentlemen j around me slept throughout the entire showing, and one of them snored unmusically along with the Movietone accompaniment. The critics found Janet Gaynor and Charlie Farrell adorable, but Janet and Charlie would be adorable in even less worthy material than "Street Angel."
Feud for Thought
No Who's Hula can be considered complete without the name of Billy Dooley
TThe dove of peace must be nestling over the M.-G.-M. lot, for the announcement comes that John Gilbert and Joan Crawford are to appear opposite one another in "Four Walls." Joan and Jack have never previously admired one another to any great extent. In a newspaper interview, Joan even went so far as to say that she enjoyed working with all the men on the Metro lot except Jack Gilbert ; and though Jack never bothered to print his opinions, you got the idea that there was no love lost. It's nice that these little difficulties have been ironed out. Feuds are fun for everyone but the producer.
