"It proves," says the weekly, "that while 1'\ ew York has a population of more than 7,000.000 and is considered the financial and commercial center of the world, the public is more interested in reading about a town which can boast of t1othing more than being the ftlm capital with plenty of hooey planted, propagated and cultured by a large army of pres s agents and chatter writers." The public, the weekly adds, has "be~ome so fed up on the stereotyped movie note that anything in the way of free publicity copy from Hollywood has lost its kick." This has forced leading news services, metropolitan dailies, and fan magazines to send their own writers to Movieville, the weekly adds, to produce authentic copy for millions of news hungry picture fans. The weekly, after a survey, tabulated 360 correspondents at Hollywood who are grinding out stuff. Town and .

This is a story of youth's desire to grow up in order to accomplish something in the world. The spirit of )·outh pervades the picture. Another picture to be shown on the same bill is "A Thief in the Dark," a mystery circus picture which concerns the activities of a gang of side-show crooks and their attempts to steal a fortune in jewels from an eccentric old recluse and his pretty granddaughter. The all-star cast is headed by George Meeker, of "Four Sons," and Doris Hill. "Harold Teen," coming to the Teatro del Lago this Sunday, July 22, is Harold of the comic strip come to life on the screen.

Mary Brian, as Lillums; Lucien Littlefield, as Grandpap, and Alice White, as the dizzy blonde, rank as close seconds. In "The Drag Net," George Bancroft's latest starring vehicle for Paramount, which opens Monday at the Teatro .del Lago for two days, the thc:-me of the story is featured by new treatment of the unrlerworld melodramatic plot.

K o one on the force but a young detective has ever found Trent's hangout; he is murdered, and from that point, gang mass-movement contrasts effectively with Nolan's efforts to avenge the boy.

"We Americans," Teatro attraction for next Friday, is not a racial picture, but a drama of American immigrants. A Russian, a German, and an Italian familv came to America fifteen years before. the war. Their struggles for an existence, their loyalty, and their perplexities (particularly over the younger generation who find it so easy to assimilate American ideas and customs), make a story of absorbing in~erest.
