i THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1929 PAGE NINE Interesting Pen Impres- sions of the Coming Attractions on , THE LOCAL SCREEN Who's Who & What's What in the Amuse- ment World Sherlock Holmes Tops | Regent Entertainment Sherlock Holmes is perhaps the foremost exponent of disguises that fiction has ever known, As the un canny. sleuth who could always guess | at least one step ahead of the other fellow, his ability to wear & wig in such a fashion that even the trusty Watson was unable to identify him stood him in good stead whenever danger threatened, Clive Brook, who plays the title vole 1m Paramount's alltalking screen play "The Return of Sher lock Holmes," at the Regent theatre three days sarting today, made a study of wigs and in the pleture de signed the two disguises that he af ts, In one of the sequences, Holmes disguises himself as a boots" or steward on board a trans-Atlantic liner, With his full make-up on, his identity is completely hidden and in its plage there is a typleal English Whitehall character, Plastered over his own hair is a dark brown wig with slight traces of gray, parted on the left side, On the right side his hatr is gurled up, not unlike ye old time rtender, Hig eyebrows are bushy and also dark brown, To eom~ plete his facial disguise, he wears a light brown flowing mustache, A steward's white jacket puts the fin. ishing touch to the character, According to Clive Brook, the make-up he affects in the exact couns terpart of that worn by a "hoots" on board the liner, Cedric, Holmes' other disguise is that of an Austrian violinist, a member of the ship's orchestra, It is there that hig ability as a musician, so often ¢ited by the efficient Watson, eomes in handy, Not satisfied with the popular accepted belief that all mu, slelans must have long, flowing hair, Brook designed a wig after his own gongeption and transferred the idea to Tom Cameron and Fred Fraff, Paramount's make-up artists, The hair of the wig is light brown and eombed straight back, Light brown, bushy eyebrows and a change of dress complete the disguise which completely fools the master-mind, Morlirty, Octagonal glasses add to the effectiveness of the disguise, Detectives may come and detee: tives may go, but Bherlock Holmel| apparently goes on forever, That ia the deduction te be drawn from the actual statistics obtained from the reference depuriment of the New York Public Library, Despite the tremendous popularity some of Holmes' more recent sue cespory and imitators, the great fig ure from Bir Arthur Conan Doyle's brain continues to hold against all comers in the hearts of the reading public, "Sherlock Holmes has nlways been a favorite," ways Miss Frances M, Knator, of the reference department of the New York Public lbrary, "1 ean truthfully say that. there has been a steady demand for the Kir Arthur Conan Doyle stories that has kept this group of stories in the fore front of library popularity, Now "The Return of Bherlock Holmes" has been made into an all talking Paramount pleture and will show at the Regent theatre, start ing today, Clive Brook ie featured in the role of the master detective and a strong supporting cast has been assembled for the principal roles in this New Show World mys tery play, Manager Osler in also offering a splendid supporting hill of enter tainment which includes Clyde Cook and Harry Gribhon in the funny talkomedy "The Constuble" in addi tion to Van and Schenk on the sing: ing screen and another of the favor ite singsong cartoons entitled "Die," RADIQ COMMISSION'S LIFE IS
