Stupendous Picture is Work
Of Three Tears; war, Ro-
mance Depicted
For three years young man
who looks more of a college youth
than the man of accomplishment
that he Is, worked on a picture
a motion picture that was event
ually called "Hell's Angels.- This
young man i Is Howard Hughes,
producer and director of the film
which Is a stupendous picture of
the air. of the war, ! of human
emotion under the most . peaceful
circumstances. 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.

Big Pictures Coming to

N6w?0malT6n,, Soon
TAre we going to have some
big pictures? Well. I should say
we are." It was Verne Meintyre,
manager of Warner Bros.' Elsi
nore. speaking. "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.
That la an R. K. O. picture and
will begin showing February 8.
fUttle Caesat," a First Na
tional picture will begin showing
here February 15 and February
19; will see "The Royal Bed," an
RJ K. O. prodrffction adapted
from "The Queen's Husband.! '

tion will show February. IS, and
Norma Talmadge In "DuBarry.
Woman of -Passion" Is due this
month. The latter picture 1st a
United Artists film. s
i "These- pictures and m a a yd
more of the big productions will
show In the Elsinore in keeping
with the new , policy of making
the beautiful theatre a house lot
de luxe presentations," said Mr.
Meintyre. "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.
I For instance during the World
war Mr. Meintyre was a marine
