A challenge for Lubitsch! Could he film tfOdd Man Out"?
The theatrical season drazvs to a close— but draws fiull houses.
James Gleason chews gum, plays a lead, and helps write two , successes.
IS ZAT SO'
E know one of the funniest shows town."
"Is Zat So?" "Yes — 'Is Zat So.' It's about a pri2;e-fighter and his manager, who is one of the authors of the play, by the way, and just to show that he can take punishment, he also helped write The Fall Guy.' His name is James Gleason.
"Is Zat So" is good material for the screen, so probably James Gleason will become a movie success too.
The manager and his "pug" are broke and are taken into his sister's unhappy home by a sporting rich bachelor. They are butler and footman, and there are girls and love, misunderstandings and dirty work, sob stuff and excitement. It is good character work and slangy and entertaining all the way. It'll knock you for a row of red hot cinemamas.

<| Anita Pam is one of the reasons why "Mercenary Mary" is so successful.
oAOMA
'E have a South Sea complex or something anyway, and so "Aloma of the South Seas" seemed to us very delightful. There is a reality to the atmosphere that is convincing. We hope its popularity is not due to a universal desire to drink "square face" and live like Jack London's people amid languorous uke-playing island girls, but it seems to us that we, personally, would have been a success "on the beach."
The performance of George Gaul h marvelous-. Gallina Kopernak is delightful. The theatre is crowded and the film version will have to be wonderfully directed to equal it.
"Aloma" is a successful illustration of a point often defended in Screenland ■ — picturesqueness is better than commonplaceness.
