CURRENT PUBLICITY (continued ) 2nd day of run Robinson Balked At Talking Against A Visiting Calliope Edward G. Robinson, while denying that he is temperamental, draws the line at competing with a steam ealliope. He didn’t even come out second best in a contest that started on the First National stage in North Hollywood when he was working on the production of “I Loved A Woman,” now showing at theies asin. toe east Theatre, with Robinson as the star and Kay Francis heading his support. Robinson was interrupted in the midst of a dialogue by an ear-splitting shriek that penetrated the supposedly sound-proof walls. “What’s ‘that?’ he demanded, startled. “T don’t know,’ said Director Al Green, “but it sounds like a charivari—a belling they call them in the Middle West. Someone must have got married.” “Well,” said Eddie, plaintively, “T wish they would celebrate up where marriages are supposed to be made. I can’t talk against that!” Investigation disclosed that a steam calliope had been rented for a scene in one of the “Merry Melodies” short productions. It was silenced for a more opportune time and the picture continued. “Tt Loved A Woman” is a stirring drama of the secret love of a meat baron for an opera star.

Farrell MacDonald, Henry Kolker, Robert Barrat, George Blackwood, Murray Kinnell and Henry O’Neill.

Robinson and Kay Francis in the stellar roles. For twenty-five years or more, Bob MeWade has lost his temper oftener—on the stage, as a matter of art—and made more money at it, than probably any other actor in America. Ever since he played the choleric newspaper man in Edgar Selwyn’s “The Country Boy,’ and became an overnight sensation, McWade has been famous for his vivid portrayals of the most hot-tempered characters, who turn out to be the salt of the earth in the showdown. “Yve done that sort of thing so long,” says MeWade, “that I’d be lost in an easy-going character.” In “I Loved A Woman,’ MeWade plays the role of a erabbed director of a packing concern, of which Edward G. Robinson is the president. The picture depicts the days of frenzied finance in the meat-packing business, and at the same time presents one of the most amazing romances ever screened. The screen play by Charles Kenyon and Sidney Sutherland is based on the novel, “Red Meat,” by David Karsner. There is a notable cast in addition to the two stars, which includes Genevieve Tobin, J. Farrell MacDonald, Henry Kolker, Robert Barrat, George Blackwood, Murray Kinnell and Henry O’Neill. Alfred E. Green directed.

Loved A Woman’’ Are Again In Style Have you a trunk in your attie, gentle reader, filled with those flouncy and furbelowed creations of the gay nineties? If so you’re in luck and it is time to get them out of hiding according to Earl Luick, Hollywood stylist who gowned Kay Francis and Genevieve Tobin for the First National picture, “I Loved A Woman,” now at the Theatre. Opening sequences in the picture in which Edward G. Robinson is starred with Miss Francis playing the lead, are laid in Chicago at the end of the last century. The set, peopled with men and women in appropriate garb, attracted much amused attention, but all visitors remarked that while the men looked SEEN THRU THE strange and out-of-date, the women’s clothes seemed much less antiquated than they would have a scant year or so ago. “Tt’s quite true,” Luick said. “With very little remodeling, many of the dresses worn could ‘get by’ as modern. Puffed and leg-o’-mutton sleeves are common today; so are high necklines, capes, boas, ruffs and other styles then worn.” The changes that he suggests, if women do begin raiding attic trunks, are in waistlines and skirts. All waists, he says, would have to *e let out, since the wasp waist given by murderous boned corsets is, happily, a thing of the past, and the “dust-eatcher” skirts of yester-year have both been shortened, although very little, and made several yards skimpier around the bottom. “IT Loved A Woman” is a stirring love drama centering about the packing industry, in which a woman makes a world figure out of a man at first indifferent to material gain.
