In love, and then under the terrific strain of war as It was In the air diTlalons of the English and German armies. At the age of . 20 this young Hughes who directed and produc ed the picture, was placed- In charge of a big oil and tool com pany in Texas due to the death of his father, the owner.; He made a success of this business renture. Marshall Neflan was a friend of the Hughes family. He induoed Howard to try making morlng pictures. He has made several, each one a realization of a dream "Two Arabian Nights," 'The Racket" an exposure of corrupt politics which nearly landed him In court before he got it past the censors and then It was a success, and now comes "Heir's Angels." The youthful Hughes Is more than the angel of ."Hell's Angela." He was with the picture during every minute of its making. He paid the bills and he did practic ally everything else as well. Ear ly in the making of the picture he disagreed ' with Lather. Reed, whom he had hired as director, and took over the direction him- self. , Aviation Is bis hobby, that and golf. . He has been flying since he was 14 years old, which may be the reason for his slight deaf ness. ! Built like Colonel Lindberg, tall and lanky, there is something western about his appearance. He rushed about, through, like a true New Yorker, even though this was his first visit to New York since he was a ehlld. ' "V Of his picture, of his four years of work, of his 14,000.000 risk or is it folly he had only this to say: "I think it's good." . Thursday will see the dramatic picture, "Mother's Cry." at the Elsinore. Dorothy Peterson, Hel- , en Chandler, and David Manner with a supporting cast present this picture. ' It Is the story of mother lore the lives of four children's lives. through the eyes of a mother who could not understand why they were so different from her and from each other.

"We will begin February with "Hell's Angels" and from then on through the month we will feature such pic tures as "Cimarron" starring Richard: Dix one of the most talked of pictures of the year.

"We will only make two changes a week and the house will be open continuously la contrast to the Capitol which will make three changes a week and Is closed between the hours of 4 o'clock, to :45 o'clock." ! , And just about here the con versation slipped away from the discussion of theatres into the field of psychology, .a favorite study that amounts to a hobby with Manager Meintyre,. People, circumstances, and even, detec tive stories furnish a. wonderful laboratory tor the pursuit of this hobby of psychology, and this Interesting hobby has helped - Its rider out of many a tight corner.
