Here the sheik proves the villain and Noah Beery gives to "the role all his sturdy talent for things unpleas- ant. Toa-match the Beery scowl, Olive Borden contributes her smile. As the daughter of a desert chieftain the charming little star sets for herself a. new mark of achievement. Never has her beauty been in more startling relief than against the background of harem luxury. Hugh Trevor, popular juvenile, is seen as a daring young English- man who becomes the sheik's riv- al for .the affection of the desert charmer.

The idea in making such a proposal to the professional leaders, Mr. Fry stated, was to keep as many players under the C.A.H.A. banner as possi- ble. He pointed out that a number of players had signed pro contracts during the past two or three years and then failed to make good in lost so far as the amateur game was concerned, and were failures in the professional game, while in/ many To Oshawa It's Coming p 57 / ¢ Entertainment ' {MARKET PRICE FOR . -MONDAY .

Symbols of Wall Street Revealed The mystic symbols of Wall Street's ticker tape, the thin ribbon of poverty or riches, fortune or fail- ure, is mystic no more to the George Bancroft com- pany at the Paramount studios in Hollywood, For "The Wolf of Wall Street", Bancroft's current starring picture, a com- plete brokerage office tick- er installation was made in the set used for the open- ing sequence and now every one from the property boy to Rowland V. Lee, the di- rector, feels himself pre- pared to take over the di- rectorship of Dow, Jones and Company and the House of Morgan, The tickers were connected to a direct financial wire and operated within the studio just as is done in broker- age offices from coast to coast, "The Wolf of Wall Street" is a story by Doris Anderson, Paramount scen- arist, and Baclanova, Nancy Carroll, Paul Lukas, Paul Guertzman and Brandon Hurst appear in support of Bancroft. The picture opens Monday at the Regent theatre. ¥ ROLAND MATTE OF OTTAWA CONSIDERS LEAFS' OFFER Ottawa, March 30. -- Reports that Roland Matte, whose brilliant work for the Shamrock Junior Hockey club J of Ottawa played a large part in ad- vanging the team to the semi-finals for dominion honors this year, had signed with Toronto Maple Leafs, With a laugh and a sneer for trouble and a curse for a weak- ling, George Bancroft drives his way powerfully and effectively in his new starring Paramount pic- ture "The Wolf of Wall Street", which opens at the Regent theatre on Monday. The bars of Wall Street, "the most fascinating street in the world," are thrown down in this picture. Here we see the inner workings, the operation, the stock broker at his best--or worst. Para mount, ever alert to capture ox celluloid that which interests th man on the street today, has pro duced one of the finest pictures of the current cinematic season. With two-fisted virility, Ban croft portrays the "Wolf" of Wal Street. He is the unscrupulous, self-made, ruthless stock brokes who deliberately loses a fortune to keep his faithless wife and her lover from getting it. Intriguing to say the least. Bancroft's work in this picture further stamps the accomplished actor as the leader in gripping dramatic characteriza- tions, Bancroft is not without 'stellar support in his new picture, There are Baclanova, Nancy Carroll, Paul Lukas and Arthur Rankin to share honors with him. Others in the cast are Brandon Hurst, Crau- furd Kent and Paul Guertzman. Rowland V. Lee, one of Para- mount's famous directors; is re- sponsible for the film. Doris An- derson, Paramount. staff - writer, wrote the story expressly for Ban- croft, has been offered a two-year contract by the Toronto National League club, with a lucrative stipend, but as the Detroit and Montreal Canadien clubs also are angling for his services, his mind is far from made up, he said.
