Scott Sidney, who directs the
A. Christie presentation,. "Seven
Pays," which appears at the HoUy-
! wood theater as the opening i at
traction, makes it uproariously
funny, sin fact he even makes the
worried expressions of Lillian Rich
nd Creighton Hale, who play the
leading roles, 'objects of side
splitting mirth.
" All the same, such a combina
tion in. any home,, without .Mr.
Sydney to direct it to the success-
: tnl and happy ending' which ter-
. mJnates the two hours of laughter
to be derived out of this screen
comedy, would be a near catastro
jhe. ' "Seven Days" Is based on the
famous Broadway laugh success by
Avery Hopwood and Mary Roberts
Rlnehart. Supporting Miss Rich
and Mr. Hale under Sidney's di
rection are Lilyan Tasbman, Ma
bel Julienne Scott, Hallam Cooley,
William Austin and Tom Wilson.

- Recruiting for the Oregon Na
tional guard was given an impetus
Tnhen Buster Keaton made "The
General," his first big comedy for
United ArtissT" many of the scenes
of which were filmed in the Pacific
northwest; "The General" Is the
feature film at the Hollywood
theater Sunday and Monday. J
Oregon state officials cooperated
with the Keaton company by per
mitting the frozen-faced star to
use several companies of militia
for the Civil War battle scenes.
Word went out that national
guardsmen would be given a
chance to display their prowess
In' motion pictures, and within two
days after the announcement was
made, the recruiting offices were
besieged by swarms of men and
youths.
The national guard companies
were recruited to full strength,
hundreds of aspirants being re
jected. Officials estimated that
Keaton would have had the use
ot 10,000 sdldiers If he had-been
iA need of that many.
Several companies of the reserve
officers training 'corps also were
used in re-enacting the Civil war
battles which play an important
port of the g'.ganuc laugn ceaiure

personally the chief pal ot his own
mother, his father having died
vlien the lad was but nine. Patsy
Ruth Miller, who is the Irish
sweetheart in the picture, is noted
in Hollywood for other than her

She has been noted for her ability
in comedy scenes., although unlike

The locale of "Eve's Leaves" is

portunity for a variety of funny

The story is an original from

All the "yo-hoes" and "avasta" of
17th century piracy are fn ".The

"Hogan's Alley," the . Warner
Eros, production starring Monte
Blue, coming soon to the Holly
wood theater, has in its cast the
largest number of former world
champions ever assembled in one
picture.
Although this is not primarily a
"fight" picture, still the prize ring
scenes in which Monte Blue is
featured in the role of contender
for heavyweight championship
honors were adjudged important
enough to secure the services of
James J. Jeffries, former heavy
weight champion of the world;
Tommy Ryan, former middle and
welterweight world champion who
retired undefeated with the title;
Ad Wolgast, former lightweight
world champ; Ted "Kid" Lewis,
former welterweight world cham

Jack Herrick, former heavyweight
champion of Panama.
Other sporting celebrities con
nected with this photoplay are
Harry Burns, bag punching cham
pi6n of 1907, who still holds that
honor; Larry Williams, former
trainer of Dempsey, and Ely Stan

in several of his pictures. Dan
Tobey, appointed official announc
er of the A. : E. P.Mn France by
General Pershing, and now official
announcer at the Vernon and Hoi
lywood -American Legion boxing
stadium in Los Angeles, acts as
announcer fn the bout.
The scene of the story Is laid
on the Bowery of New York 20
years ago; with 'the reminiscent
atmosphere of brown derbies and
yellow button oxtords at the
Starflght Athletic club training
quarters. )
"Hogan's Alley," in addition to
Monte Blue, has a brilliant sup
porting cast that includes Patsy
Ruth Miller, Willard Louis, Louise
Fazenda, Max Davidson, Nigel Bar
rie, Frank Hagney, Fsank Bond,
Mary Carr and Ben Turpin. Roy
Del Ruth directed this production,
based on the Gregory Rogers
story, and adapted to the screen
by Darryl Francis Zanuck.
In presenting1 "The Black Pi
