THE BEAUTY PRIZE" FEATURE
Viola Dana Will Star in Film to be
Offered at Helllg
Comedy, drama, Viola Dana, and
girls, girls, girls! That's the descrip
tion of the Metro-Goldwyn star's lat
est picture, "The Jieauty Prize,"
which comes Monday and. Tuesday to
the Heilig theater, and a delightfully
entertaining picture it is, too!
Miss Dana appears as a New York
manicurist who wins the national
beauty title of "Miss America," and
then gives away the $12,U(H prize
money she needs so badly. The star
is peppier than ever, and certainly
looks as if she could win any beauty
contest anywhere. Pat O'Mallcy is
splendid as the hero.
Between the scenes showing the
contest, with a bunch of pretty girls
competing, and the really excellent
story by Nina Wilcox Putnam, the
Inst audience manifested in no un
certain . terms that "The Beauty
Prize" can well be called "perfect en
tertainment." Lloyd Ingrahnin directed, nnd Win
ifred Dunn wrote the continuity. John
Arnold was the photographer.

GEORGE KELLY FILM ATTRACTS
For a dozen years I've been trot-
ting to these annual convention gab- !
fests. Every year the "loud speak- 1
er" leaders have been letting out the
same line of chatter. When the con- !
vention is over, it is all forgotten
until the next convention. 1
Most of the theater owners who at
tend these conventions cheer loudly
for the "independent" producers while
to buy the product of the big pro
at the convention, and theu rush out
to buy the product of the big pro
ducers they have been cussin'. In a
nutshell, it boils down to this. You
funs are only interested in good mov-
ies. You don't care who makes them.
The theater owner may yell a lot at
a convention, but when be gets home i
he buys from the company that has
the best product. And that's all there j
