Theatre informs us that “The Truth About Youth,” the next attraction at his theatre, gives the real truth about our modern maidens with Loretta Yourg as the central character and Davici Manners, Myrna Loy and Ray Hallor as the youthful interpreters of modernism. This First National and Vitaphone picture appears to have the proper kind of players as far as casting is concerned. The steady hand of age is seen with the inclusion of Conway Tearle, J. Farrell MacDonald and Myrtle Stedmxan in important roles. “The Truth About Youth” was directed by Wiiliam A. Seiter. THE REAL STUFF “The Truth About Youth,” the First National picture with Loretta Young and David Manners, now playing at the Theatre, young Manners is pictured at a night club table sipping a cocktail. Cocktails on movie sets are fake, of course. It may seem a beautiful amber fluid, and it is a beautiful amber fluid, but its alcoholic content wouldn’t intoxicate an under sized gnat. Alice White, one of the merriest souls in Hollywood, who came visiting from a neighborhood set, persuaded the studio doctor to let her have a tumbler of real brandy. This she poured in Manners’ cocktail. Manners, being a young man with no drinking experience to boast of, and totally unprepared for the throatscorching draught spoiled the entire sequence by sputtering the liquid all over the table. Director William Seiter, who knew of the joke, began to berate Manners. “Hey, that’s not how real stuff tastes! Can’t you act, can’t you make believe you’re drinking real liquor? I guess you expect me to supply you with pre-war booze.” But by that time Manners had caught the eye of Alice White, and the joke was out. LORETTA YOUNG PLAYS MAXINE ELLIOTT ROLE (Current Reader) At the age of seventeen Loretta Young is playing the identical role that earried Maxine Elliott to the pinnacle of her popularity in the theatre. Miss Elliott played the role of Phyllis in “When We Were Twenty-One” for six years, in stock, sn Rroadway, and on the road. oretta plays the same role in First National’s screen version of the famous stage play, now known as “The Truth About Youth,” and current at the The picture features Loretta, David Manners, Conway Tearle and Myrna Loy. She played the Elliott role for only three weeks at the studio, but her interpretation is being shown. everywhere. In two months, it is estimated, more persons will see Loretta Young in Maxine Elliott’s original role than the latter played to in the entire six years of her trouping over the country. And this does not take into estimation the audiences of foreign countries, which account for forty percent of the total attendance of the world’s films. Loretta Young is more popular now, the world over, at-seventeen than Maxine Elliott ever was, owing —to be fair—to the difference in the dramatic media in which they were presented. DAVID MANNERS IS A COUSIN OF LOVELY LADY DIANA (Current Reader) David Manners is the second member of the famous Manners’ family to achieve distinction in the theatre.
