THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, JULY 28, 192 PAGE SE\V™N What's What and | Who's Who in the Amusement World Corinne Griffith in "Garden of Eden" Comes to Regent Theatre Corinne Griffith makes her United Artists debut in "The Garden of "Eden," a comedy romance film based on the stage play of the same me, her picture coming to the Regent Theatre, Monday. Louise Dresser, Lowell Sherman and Char- les Ray head a distinguished sup- porting cast. Lewis Milestone, who made "Two Arabian Knights," dir- ected "The Garden of Eden." Apples, serpents, fig leaves and Paradise are only symbolically pres- ent in this "Garden of Eden "--for It is a modern clothes version of the ldest story in the world. It is at the Hotel Eden, outside Monte Carlo that many humorous and romantic adventures befall Toni LeBrun, French shop-girl off on a lark with her friend, the Baroness Rosa de Garcer, The startling climax to those adventures is a wedding which ends in a riot, Rudolph Bernauer and Rudolph Oesterreicher, two Austrians, wrote the stage play, "The Garden of Eden," which has been continuously on the boards in Germany 'for three years. In England Tallulah Bank- head played the stage Toni; in New York, Sylvia Field, Corinne Griffith and Walter Morosco (Corinne is Mrs. Morosco in private life) were in Germany last year and there they saw "The Garden of Eden,"--cabl- ing Joseph Schenck promptly that they would like that play purchased, to be Miss Griffith's first United Artists vehicle. Hence it was that while the stage play was being acted in London, and even before it was shown in New York, Corinne was well into production on her film.

Ger- you NO SILK STOCKINGS ON MOSCOW WOMEN Fashions in Russia Frowned Upon by Soviet Regime Moscow--If there are any silk stockings in Moscow I have not seen them. This is not because skirts obscure the view; skirts are as short as, if not shorter than, in Paris, London, or Berlin, The reason is that if there are any silk stockings in Moscow tnuy are worn privately, so to say, at home, On Sundays a few women of Moscow wear stockings of arti- ficial silk; but for the rest, it is a choice between lisle or cotton, Although the silk stocking has not yet conquered Russia, never- theless I find a great change has come over the women of Moscow since I was here a year ago. They are better dressed; indeed, they are much better dressed. A fur coat, worn with a con- scious air of superiority, is no rare sight on the Smolensky-rynok, one of the main streets of this city, Communism and fur coats do not go together, that we know; but the women who wear the fur coats ure neither Communists nor the wives of Communists, Peril of Fur Coat They are just Russians who, af- ter ten years of hell, have realized they are women, although they live in Soviet Russia, The woman of Moscow knows just 'as well how wo obtain a fur coat from her husband as does a woman of London, A fur coat, in the eyes of the Soviet officialdom, is the hall-mark of the bourgeoisie. It may uve, therefore, that the hushand who buys his wife a fur coat in defiance of the orthodox Soviet, will be in- vited to stand on the carpet and hand out explanations; and in any case, if the explanation is accepted or not the husband is sure to he a marked man, Soviet Russia, even {if .it turns a semi-blind eye towards a fur coat, has not yet accepted jewell- ery. In the whole of Moscow there is but one jeweller's shop, and this i known locally as the 'Mouse Trap." The appellation is somewhat of a sinister one; it means beware of diamonds all ye who enter here. Pearls mean tears, they say, wud many are the tears caused in mos- cow by an ill-advised purchase of a pearl necklace, The jeweller's shop is unde; close surveillance by Soviet offi- cials, and any purchase made there, be it small or large, is tracked right down to the source of origin, Here it is not always the woman who pays, because the man who finds the money {finds himself charged with being anti-revolu- tionary, and this means a term of imprisonnrent; sometimes death, State Shop Windows Shopping in Moscow has not the same meaning that it has in Eng- land. The shop windows of the State and co-operative storus-- there are practically no others left --contain nothing but tne barest necessities for womreen. A dress is just a dress, and a hat hardly that, The only articles approaching lux- ury I have seen exposed for sale are artificial flowers, and these were of an inferior quality. Toilet articles have heen drift- ing into Russia, and the depart- ments where these are sold are the most thronged of any. Dottles of inferior scent, boxes of low grade powder, are eagerly bought up. Lip-ticks have been suddenly ac- quired. Previous to the revolu- tion they were unknown in Rus- sia, save in the theatre, but the women of Moscow heard of them from those rare people who had been to Paris. They demanded them, and they obtained them, for even in Russia the voice of woman is more pow- erful than the voice of the Sovi- et. Perhaps, though, the Soviet Government does mot mind so much after all, for the crimson lip-stick, even if it be an emblem of the hated bourgeoise, is mever- theless as red as Red Russia, " It must not be thought that all the women are sufficiently endowed with money to acquire fur coats, scent, and lip-sticks. There is in- deed another class, and one a0 poverty stricken as almost to wipe out the memory of their fewer and more fortunate sisters. The class I mean buys perhaps one new hat a year, and to see it buying is a never-to-be-forgotten sight. The hats as I see them appear much like those sad pieces of wreckage one finds cast up mm tue London dustbins. They are of al- leged straw; sometimes a scrap of ribbon heightens the pathos of their appearance. Women who have faced hell for more than ten years, women, many of them who once owned horses and carriages, and who until Lenin stood Russia on its head were queens of fashion, stand here be- fore the cracked mirror, their knees slightly bemt, their arms poised, trying on monstrosities that you, dear madam, would not allow your servant to wear on a Sunday afternoon out. _ 0K SITS AD 00% FLICKERS FROM FILMDOM AND GOSSIP OF THE SCREEN A GENERAL REVIEW OF SCREEN ACTIVITIES her stellar playin the wonder dog star, 'winkle."

It was Mr. Laemmle who recog- nized in Brown, eighteen months ago, the making of a clever director. Brown was then a scenario writer, and since, with several spectacular comedy successes, has more than made good as a director. Much of the action of "Buck Pri- vates" takes place in a beautiful little German village nestling against the banks of the Rhine near Coblenz. Obeying a special invitation to visit the set, the film chief appeared on the scene and stopped, amazed. Brown in delicate compliment to his Laemmle's Boyhood Town of Laupheim Reproduced For uck Privates" employer, had designed the set so that it appeared as an exact replica of Laupheim, Laemmle's boyhood home in Germany, Tears streamed down the cheeks of Universal's president as he ob- served the familiar signs and street scenes that recalled the village he had left for America forty-five years ago. Nearly two months of correspond- ence and preparation were spent in preparing the pretentious set which is probably as authentic a foreign sctting as was ever built in America, Lya De Putti and Malcolm Mc- Gregor have the leads in "Buck Privates" while the supporting cast includes Zasu Pitts, James Marcus, Eddie Gribbon, Capt. Ted Duncan, Bud Jamieson and Les Bates, as well as 500 war veterans, : EXPULSION SURPRISE TO SIR BASIL PETO London, July 27--The "excommuni- cation" from the Conservative party of Sir Basil Peto member for Barn- staple, effected by removal of his name from the party whip's list last night, has provided Britain with a first-class late session political sensa- tion. Sir Basil this afternoon inter- viewed Premier Baldwin and it is expected that he will see the chief whip next weck. Meanwhile he states that he received no warning of the action which followed his opposi- tion to the Government on certain legislative measures. He knew noth- ing of the whip's action until he read of it in today's newspapers, he said, though last night the chief whip spoke angrily to him in the House lobby. Meanwhile it is thought Sir Basil's expulsion, for such it practically amounts to, is also in the nature of a warning to other Conservatives who have become restive, to prevent them getting out of hand prior to the general election. It is noteworthy that Sir Basil re- ceived his baronetcy last year, in re- cognition of devotion, service and loyalty to the party. One of his prinuple supporters in Barnstaple telegraphed him today, *"heartiest congratulations; Barnstaple is with you." PREHISTORIC RELICS SOUGHT IN SUPERIOR Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., July 27.-- Two vessels of the Isle Royaie Archaeolgica Expedition, the Nar- oco and the Margo, are in the Sault on their way up the lake to ex- plore the island for traces of pre- historic man. The swastika, which was damaged in Lake Michigan by a waterspdut, put into Jackson Harbor for repairs, and has not yet reached the city. The two ves- sels no where will await her ar- rival, expected tomorrow, and all proceed up the lake together, Mem- bers of the party today said that in addition to the explorations on Isle Royale, it was likely that some reconnoitring would be done on the morth shore on the Cana- dian side. RAIL SUPERINTENDENT'S WIFE INSTANTLY KILLED BY TRAIN -- Grand Mere, Que. July 27.-- Mrs. Ernest Kelly, aged 45, wife of the Canadian National Railways District Superintendent at Grand Mere, was ingtantly killed yester- day when hit by the Canadian Pacific train from Three Rivers. The woman was walking along the track about a mile from the station here when the fatality occurred. Her body is being taken to Fred- erictn, N.B., for the funeral and burial. WLAUGHLIN-BUICK ENTERS 2137 YEAR (Continued from page 3) manifolding. In other words, the power increase has exceeded the increase in weight, a statement which the new car's performance verifies. McLaughlin-Buick's policy of adopting innovations only after ex- haustive tests has guided prepara- tion of the 1929 car it is stated. While some of the engine and chas- sis improvements, notably the ad- dition of the mechanical fuel pump are seemingly radical departures, all have been thoroughly tried and none affect the car's basic design. The "vibrationless performance' claimed for McLaughlin-Buick's engine has been guarded jealously in preparation of the 1929 car. The crankshaft is heavier, and the bearings, hoth main and crank pin correspondingly increased, while greater attention than ever before has been paid to their balancing as Zasu Pitts is noted as one of the most wistful of all screen players so she plays the role of a wistful little German girl in Universal's comedy of the American Army of Occupa- tion, "Buck Privates," which will Spen at the New Martin Theatre on onday. Lya De Putti and Malcolm Mec- lego play the leading roles while Eddie Gribbon, as the hard-boiled top sergeant, plays Miss Pitts. Miss Pitts is a Kansan, having been born in Parsons. She has been in pictures nine years and during that time she has lost more men in the final fade-out than any other actress on the screen. She is always the runner-up for the affections of the leading man. But in "Buck Privates" her role is a decided departure and she gets her man. oMiss Pitts has three divergent hobbies for her off-screen life, these being dogs, bicycle riding, even at opposite Zasu Pitts Appears in "Buck Privates" With Lya De Putti this late date, and ice skating, which is not so much of a novelty in Cali- fornia as it might seem, for Los Angeles boasts of three rinks which are open the year round. CRIPPLE FOUND DEAD IN HOME WITH BULLET WOUND IN HEAD Edmonton, July 26.--Myatery shrouds the death of George Hodg- son, aged 45, retired farmer and cripple, of this city. With a bullet wound in the head, Hodgson 'was found huddled in a chair in his apartment today by Frank Lavery, proprietor of a store on the ground floor of the block. The door of Hodgson's apartment was open and the lights were burning when Lav ery entered. According to Coroner Dr. Braith- waite, who viewed the body, the shooting had taken place about 12 hours before the discovery of the crime, a single working unit. McLaugh- lin-Buick lays special stress on this balancing of engine parts, because long study has convinced its ea- gineers that this, rather than more cylinders or more bearings, is the true answer to the problem of op- erating smoothness. And Me- Laughlin-Buick has now cradled the entire engine in mountings of thick, soft rubber, to insulate 1t from the frame and absorb the last vestiges of vibration. For the sake of this same cual- ity, smoothness, important refine- ments have heen made in the clutch mechanism. Tiny undula- tions or "waves" on each of the 10 plates of Buick's multiple-dise cluteh permit the driving and driv- en face to engage smoothly, and the entire unit is piloted accurate- ly within the flywheel to insure its running dead true at all times. Other imnrovements in the driv- ing units include interchangeable steel-hacked main hearings, steel backed rocker arm bearings, bush- ed universal bearings, new and lar- ger oil pumn, a greatly strengthen- ed differential. larger axle shafts with Hvatt roller bearing carrying the load at their outer ends. and a simple and ingenious method of Ju- bricating the differential gears by deflecting the grease within the differential housing downward op- on the gears, It 1s claimed that no car at anv price ennloys ro costly a frame as does Mel aughlin-Buick. In the in- terest of greater rigidity and strength, this unit, however, has undergone several improvements. The side members are now straight and are of heavier steel than here- tofore. Brackets and reinforee- ments are of drnp-forged steel, Both the upper and lower flanges of the channel serving as a frame side member are rolled outward for greater sturdiness. Bronze bushings are provided for the fam- ous McLaughlin-Buick cantilever springs, which as heretofore, are designed individually for each mo- del, to operate in conjunction with the hvdraulic shock absorbers. Additional guides for the half- nuts of the steering gear have been provided for greater ease of steer- ing. Desnite the advance in perform- ance built into the 1929 car, Its gasoline economy is maintained, and it operates efficiently on any fuel. Retention of the centralized lubrication system introduced in the 1928 models makes it easy to grease, and heightened economy of servicing is sought by several of the mechanical improvements, such as the interchangeable mrain bearings. Eighteen models make up the 1929 line, the two-door five-pass- enger sedan, the five passenger sport touring, the two-passenger business coupe, the four-passenger sport coupe, and the five-passen- ger four-door sedan are offered on the 116-inch wheelbase; the four- door five-passenger close coupled sedan, the four-passenger sport roadster, the two-passenger busi- ness coupe, the four-passenger Country Club coupe, the five-pass- enger four-door sedan on the 121- inch wheelbase, and the seven- passenger touring car, the seven- passenger sedan, the four-door five-passenger brougham, the four- passenger de-luxe convertible coupe, ' the five-passenger sport touring, the four-door five-passen- ger sedan, the popular five-passen- sedan limousine, designed primar- ily as a chauffeur-driven car, on the 129-inch wheelbase. ONTARIO MAN IS CHARGED, FOLLOWING BUFFALO DEATH Buffalo, July 26.--Believing that William J. Biggins, railroad yardmaster, may have been mur- dered, police today preferred statu- tory charges against his widow, Mrs. Mamie Biggins, and Samuel Sundstrom, a boarder in the Big- ging home, as a preliminary move in a full investigation of the rail- road man's death, Both were sen- tenced to serve one year in the penitentiary. Sundstrom's home is said to be Golden Lake, Ont.
