THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1927 COMING ATTRACT IONS --AT THE-- 'NEW MARTIN THEATRE-- Starting Monday--Reginald Denny in "Fast and Furious" REGENT THEATRE-- , Starting Manday--Emil Jannings in "The Way of All Flesh." Reginald Denny Back Opens at New It frequently happens that "the | ther laughs an audience gets out of a mo- tion picture represent months of effort on the part of a vast movie organiza- tion and the guffaws are worth thou- sands of dollars éach to the produc- ers. When you see' "Fast and Furious," the Universal-Jewel production which is the feature attraction at the New Martin Theatre, gommencing Monday, with Reginald Denny in the starting role, you will see a concrete example of the "spare no expense" type of mo- tion picture. As an outstanding feature of "Fast and Furious," Director Mel Brown filmed some of the most startling auto racing sequences ever seen in any pic- ture. Some of ae Det, iilown race drivers appear' in these 'scenes, toge- ain; artin Monday ther with their cars, many of which have broken world's speed records on the country's best tracks. In order to film these shots to the best advantage a steel bridge was thrown across the speedway at. a height just sufficient to allow the roar. ing mounts of the racers to pass ui- derneath. From this vantage point *he sameraman ground away as car after car hurtled by in a cloud of dust and the acrid odor of castor oil and burn- ing rubber, Denny himself takes part in these speed annihilating scenes. Playing op- posite the star is beautiful Barbara Worth as the girl in the case. Claude Gillingwater, Armand Kaliz, Lee Mor- an, Chas. K. French, Wilson Benge and others are in the cast. 28 Sensational Scenes in "Fhe Way of All Flesh" at Regent Th Theatre on Monday Contrary to pregonceived idéas re- | scen re- deliberation in making motion pictures garding the effectiveness of European American speed: in completing the maximum number of scenes in a given length of time works ofit' to the advan- tage of the American-made films ac- cording to Emil Jannings, This fact was brought home to Jannings in the filming of his first American-made Paramount production "The Way of All Flesh" which reaches the Regent next Monday . Twenty- eight unaisually sensational scenes were made between sunset and dawn in the filming of beach resort sequences for this production, "A German director 'would" have taken at least, two weeks for. these scenes," Jannings declared to Victor Fleming, his Paramount director. "Here you do it in a single night and do it better than they would have done it over there." The 'scenes in question were made at Venice, a beach resort near Holly- wood. According to Fleming, the speed was made possible by the fact that he had ample facilities for mak- ing the scenes in rapid-fire sequence. Six technical units were in operation at one time, lining up the "sets." Jannings, Phyllis Haver, and the com- pany went from one to the other without any delays, Belle Bennett and Donald Keith are co-featured with Miss Haver in. the star's support, 'COLLEGIANS POPULAR FEATURE AT NEW MARTIN THEATRE He won his way with a smile, did George Lewis, featured player in Carl Laemmle, Jr's "Collegians," - popular series of Junior Jewel Productions, the latest of which will be an added attrac- tion beginning Monday at the New Martin theatre. Lewis managed to keep alive by working as an extra, when he was fortunate enough to find work in the mob scenes at seven dollars a day if it didn't rain. Like many others in Hol- lywood, he was a capable juvenile, hay- ing had experience in stock, A great many of these aspiring movie stars go through the veais dwelling. in the fading hope that to- morrow maybe--.s George Lewis was dwelling in hope like the others when he presented himself at the casting office at Univeral City and received the standard polite turn-down after the standard brief interview. His name was entered on a list containing thousands of other names, to be filed away on a card that would be given an eternal resting place in the reference files, He was just like any other movie extra until he turned on his way out and said goodbye. "Better luck next time," he predicted with a smile. The smile was a rare one. It turned the trick. : : : "Hold on a minute," said the casting director, "Next time is right now. You don't need any luck as long as you can smile like that." The upshot of it was that he was cast for the juvenile role in "His People," with Rudolph Schildraut, and he made such a hit that he was given a principal role supporitng Jean Her- sholt in "The Old Soak." : In addition to being an appealing leading man, Lewis has had his fling at profegsienal A Home Away from Home "A home from home' might very aptly describe the cosy atmosphere of the "Hill Top Grill," situated about two miles east of Oshawa. Built on one of the topmost points of the high land which overlooks the city, the view from its western windows is truly magnificent. such view of Osmawa can be ohtain- ed from any point in the vicinity of the city, and this alone is well worth a visit, The success which has attended the opening of the establishment has been an outstanding proof that the citizens of Oshawa enthusiastically appreciate the opportunity of driv. ing a short distance into the country for lunch or dinner, to be followed, perhaps, by an informal dance, Mr, and Mrs. Richard L. Robson, the popular proprietors, are adepts in the art of making their guests feel at home, and in the friendly atmos- phere which pervades, one finds a welcome relaxation from the cares which trouble the 'tired business -------- AT THE NEW ---It's the Nearest Thing to Greased Lightning You've Ever Seen or Heard of.

"But thé way is now clear," Jan- nings continues and then goes on to explain his conclusion. "Epic pe- tures, great, sweeping, costly pag- eants, have for some time been con- sidered the last word, the ultimate goal for the producer whose am- bition it was to make the public and critics agree that 'Here is the great- est picture of all time." Now the producers realize that this, to a cer tan extent, is an illusion. "Picture makers now realize that what the theatre patrons want are simple, human stories; stories that give a cross section of «life. Big moments in little lives, if you choose to put it that way. "Such a picture is 'The way of All Flesh' which has given me what I consider to be the most convine ing character of my career. I felt that destiny entered its influence when I first read the story; it seem- ed to me that the part of August Schiller, the kindly, home-i0viuy but humanly weak bank cashier had heen created especially for me. I censider 'The Way of All Flesh' to he the result of the greatest cffort, the finest work of my life, even ex- seeding 'The Last Laugh' and Va- riety' in dramatic simplicity, real- {sm and humanness. "During the filming of this pic- ture," says Jannings, "I was in- spired by those around me. Belle Bennett, who plays Mrs. Schiller. I consider to be one of the three great ost actresses the screen has ever known. Never have I seen a wowun give a more sympathetic perform- ance, 'Miss Bennett's mavelous work and inspirational help was paired by that of Phyliss Haver, one of Holly- wood's most . beautiful actresses. With these two remarkable women heading my supporting cast and with Victor Fleming directing 'The Way of All Flesh' could not have been otherwise than the crowning a- chievement cf my life." This dramatic treatment of the sacrifices of one man for his fam- ily, of his reaction to the attraction of a wordly woman, after many ha- bit forming years as-a proud father and husband, will be shown at the Regent Theatre on Monday next. BOOTH TARKINGTON LOSING HIS SIGHT Famous Author Working on Novels Before Blow Sirikes New York, Oct. 28--TFriends and publishers of Booth Tarkington, American author, have expressed grave fears for the author's sight.

"He was choking Sis to death so I pulled his gun out of the drawer, and shot him," Howard confessed, The coroner was called to the resi- dence last Saturday night and rend- ered a verdict of suicide. But Hager's father was dissatisfied. He pointed out that the position of the bullet did not indicate a self inflicted wound. District Attorney Fred C, Filley, called in Howard and the youth confessed, according to the police, that he firea when Hager attacked his sister dur- ing the card game, It dates back re- Mrs. A.: "Does our husband ex- pect you to obey him?"
