WesterA SOUND Electric SYSTEM *J I.ATTEK) 0RECA.S \ m Looking Over the Future Films She sees and hears the coming picture program and tells it to you. By Evelyn Ballarine Whoopee! Yip-ee! We're wild, we're western! Paging Tom Mix and, of course, Tony, too. This outburst is due to the fact that we are going to have a few west' ern soundies. George O'Brien and Sue Carol have 'gone western' in the interests of "The Lone Star Ranger." Won't little Sue look cute as a cowgirl — and as for Georgie, well, as a two-fisted he-man he's great; so imagine, if you can, what he'll be as a two-gun man! And that's not all. Mrs. Wallace Reid is producing a western, too, "The Dude Wrangler." George Duryea, Lina Basquette, Raymond Hatton, Francis X. Bushman and Sojin are among those present. And "The Virginian" with Gary Cooper, Mary Brian, Richard Arlen and Walter Huston, is with us right now. Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell will still continue to be screen lovers even though Janet is now Mrs. Lydell Peck. Janet and her new husband are honeymooning in the Hawaiian Islands and Charlie is making personal appearances with "Sunnyside Up." When they get back to Hollywood they are to begin work on "Budapest" with Frank Borzage directing. Ex-Governor Al Smith's life story is to be made by Fox Films. It is reported that he may play the lead in this film. And that gets our vote. The producers won't have to worry about a theme song for this talkie — East Side, West Side will do very nicely, thank you. Greta Garbo's next and last silent film is called "The Kiss." Lew Ayres, a newcomer, has the male lead opposite La Garbo. Watch him! You won't mind — he's extremely easy on the eyes. They've put William Boyd into another uniform. This time he's a United States cavalryman in "His First Command." Boyd has glorified every sort of uniform; in fact, he's been everything from a prince to a policeman. Dorothy Sebastian has the femme lead opposite him in this colorful story of cavalry life. James Murray pulled one of the prize roles of the season. He is to play the lead in the screen version of "All Quiet on the Western Front." Louis Wolheim and Edward Robinson are slated for important character roles. This is to be a womanless picture. Lewis Milestone is to direct it. Here's something to cheer about. Harry Langdon has made friends with the 'mike.' He's at the Hal Roach Studio making tworeelers. "Hotter Than Hot" is his next, with Thelma Todd as his film girl-friend. D. W. Griffith is preparing an all-talking epic screen romance around the character of Abraham Lincoln. Also, he will present in parallel action an interesting story built around the career of the eccentric John Wilkes Booth, the actor who assassinated the President. No cast has been selected as yet. Things the stars are doing all for art: Mary Brian bobbed her lovely hair for her role in "The Children." Richard Barthelmess has taken up Chinese, the most difficult of all languages, in connection with his role in "The Son of the Gods." Blanche Sweet is learning to tap-dance. She is coming back in a picture for MetroGoldwyn, with Tom Moore playing opposite her. An original story of New York night life is the theme of the picture. Colleen Moore learned to play the harmonica. Her next picture is "Footlights and Fools," with back-stage atmosphere. Silent pictures that are being re-made into talkies: "Lilies of the Field" with Corinne Griffith. Miss Griffith also played in the silent version of this picture a few years ago. Marion Davies is giving us "Dulcy" as her next. Constance Talmadge played in the silent "Dulcy." Metro Goldwyn are to re-make "Tin Hats." This time it's to be a singie-dancie.
