SCRATCHED BY BEAR
l>oiH Wilson Has (Tussle With
Bruin on Arizona Location
Several long scratches on face
and neck were proudly exhibi-
ted by Lois Wilson, Paramount
featured player, after a rough
and tumble fight with a bear,
during the filming of "To The
Last Man," a Zane Grey pro-
duction, directed by Victor
Fleming which comes to the
Amusu Theatre today and Fri-
day.
The bear was one of two cap-
tured as cubs by Ztane Grey,
who wrote the original story of
this fine picture. The scratch-
ing occurred while Miss Wilson
was playing with the bear
which probably did not realize
the forec of its love taps.
"To the last man," is a pic-
turization of the story of the
famous Pleasant Valley War,
one of the most bitter of the
feuds !of frontiersmen which
colors the history of the south-
west. Besides Miss Wilson,
those in principal rol.\* include
Richard Dix, Noah Beery, Ro-
bert Edeson and Frank Cam-
peau,
shoulders of the gentler sex.
"Most matrimonial difficul
ties have a very small beginning
Stahl says. "In this picture I
have tried to point out these
things without delivering a
sermon in celluloid."
DIRECTOR FEARS TOO
MANY LAUGHS IN FILM
Jack Hoxie's latest Universal
feature, "The Galloping Ace,"
will be shown at the Amusu
Theatre Saturday. The picture
relates the story of a cowboy
who uses his experiences ob-
tained as a bombing expert in
the World War. The action in
the film involves an attempted
wholesale steal of a large mar-
ble quary, a "dynamite battle,
shooting and hard riding. It is
an adaption by Isadore Bern-
stein of the magazine story,
"Hard Rock," by Jacques Jac-
card.
MOST DIVORCES
GIVEN TO WOMEN
But Court Records Rarely Show
Just Why Men Left Home
Divorce statistics compiled
in several states show that four
fifths of the divorce decrees are
issued to women.
This would lead one to be-
lieve that men are to blame tor
the socalled divorce evil. Most
Women when suing for divorce
make a simple charge of deser-
tion, which is often a compro-
mise charge to which the hus-
band has consented.
At any rate, the man leaves
home, the wife sues, obtains
her decree and the general pub-
lic rarely knows why he left.
John M. Stahl, who is a stu-
dent of psychology and a very
close observer of human nature
has directed a picture which
may throw some light on the
present dav. divorce epidemic.
It is called "Why Men Leave
Home," and is adapted by A. P.
Younger from Avery Hopwoods
stage play of the same name.
As a Louis B. Mayer presenta-
tion through First National
it will be seen here at the Amu-
su Theatre, Monday and Tues-
day.
In this film, explanation of
why men leave home Stahl does
not champion his own sex. His
natural chivalry towards wo-
men and his belief that men re-
ally are responsible for most
matrimonial wrecks forbid his
placing the burden upon the
w
Production work on "The Gal
loping Fish," Thomas II. Ince's
new comedy special, has just
been completed. The comedy
troupe heeved a sigh and were
packing up makeup boxes when
director Del Andres, sitting in
brown study on one of the sta-
ges, suddenly came to life.
"Call all the company togeth-
er," he ordered, deeply thought-
ful frowns creasing his brow.
The troupe came hurrying to
his call.
Andrews glowered at them.
The company shivered. Some-
thing was wrong.
"I've been thinking this
thing over, said Andrews stern-
ly. "We've got too many laughs
in this picture, I'm afraid. Has
anyone any suggestions for cut
ing out some of the laughs? We
are apt to get into trouble by
exhausting the audiance before
the picture is half over. It isn't
possible to keep them roar-
ing all the time."
The company sighed in re-
!!ef and walked out on him with
out an answer. But Andrews
was in earnest and it wasn't
until he had had several confer-
encer with Ince that he was sat-
isfied he hadn't filmed too
many laughs for public safety.
"The Galloping Fish," is to
be the fastest and funniest com
ed.v of the season. A typical In-
ce all-star cast, including Louise
Fazenda, Syd Chaplin, Ford
Sterling and a trained seal to
plav the title role will be seen.
The picture is a First Na-
tional release, to be shown at
the Amusu Theatre Wednesday
and it is said to be even funnier
and more thrilling than Ince's
famous "Hottentot," which car-
ried off the comedy blue rib-
bons last year.
