Ber iWbeeler and Robert Woolsey In a 'rearing, tongue-in-the-eheek satire 'of the West.; y .., - ' (The film tells the story of a ' play-boy Eddie Qulllan, who la sent to supposed Isolation on a - ranch because he la girl crasy. However, he chases the cows and balls off the place and substitutes a! bevy of pretty girls and invited his friends. . j Wheeler and Woolsey make the ' most ot this rich field for comedy and soon Jam this dnde raneh lat the focal point for some of th funniest comedy, situations of their careers. 1 Director William Setter has wed ded the two separate arts ot mu sic and comedy into a pleasing whole, beautifully mounted with striking seta and peopled with : some of the prettiest girls seen is ''pictures. j The picture is especially tortun- ' ate In the strength and capability of its supporting cast. Dorothy Lee, Inseparable with the starring combination, is cast as aWestern . gtrL Other favorites are Mttxi Green, who provides much of the fun by her impersonations, ot fa- moua screen luminaries Arleoe Judge; Kitty Kelly, and Stanley Fields. t SdentUts, philosophers and ' medical men hare for centuries straggled with the most pertinent fact of life. That fact Is life it self. .The lHerary case of Frank enstein, who created a monster; is of course a Jules Verne Idea. iMrs. Mary Woolstonecroft Sbel- ley, who wrote the story, lived half a century before the great French scientific romancer. .When Carl Laemmle, Jr., and James Whale, who produced and directed "Frankenstein," which will be seen at the Hollywood to day were utterly absorbed in the preparation of the story, they dis covered to their amazement that there were many men of science living today who thoroughly be lieved that In the future, lite ean be created. In fact, the experiments of Dr. Creel and Dr. Aaroya, both bril liant medical men, have gene tar : to prove .that dead organisms can be made to live.

The old type of bederbied. thick-soled sleuth, cari catured in plays and pictures lor a number of years la becoming en tirely passe, says King. "Philo Tance" and other erudite detec tives of fiction are not greatly ex- aggerated, far there are many pol ished and coldly logical men who are making-a life work" of crim inology. - - -'!

He owns 7000 phonograph rec ords and Jie knows Jast which one to play to make Greta Garto cry or. to help Joan Crnwford get Into the mood for a love scene. Ever since he can remember, McBride hsa been a nut on rec ords. Today, at 26, he Is manager of the record department of a Los Aagelea music store.

Or, If it Is to be a crying scene, she likes the Swedish folk song, "O Vermland." or Grieg's "Heart' Wounds" and 'The Last Spring." Or If it's a love scene, her choice is Richard Strauss' "Resenkavalier Waltx." Mendels sohn's "On Wings of Song," Rich ard Wagner's SUbumblatt ." or the, most recently, "Vienna.

Kamon novarro is an accom plished musician and has a wide choice. For dramatic scenes, how ever, he usually calls for sym phonies. Bill Haines doesn't care very much what is Played.
