Back to Pioneer Days in
Film Story,'Wagon Wheels'
Some Hard Fighting and Riding in New Picture
at the Metropolitan—The Star's Santa
Claus Expedition by Plane.
s "Τ TAGON WHEELS." film
\/\ / saga ol the hard fighting
V V and hard riding done by
the pioneers who blazed
the wagon trail to home- j
etead lands in Oregon back in 1844, j
which made its bow at the Metro- !
politan yesterday, is a motion picture !
you certainly will enjoy if you are j
partial to "epics of the West."
Whether "Wagon Wheels" conforms !
with Zane Grey's "Fighting Caravans," j
from which it was adapted, remains j
for some one who knows "Fighting j
Caravans" to say, but it suffices that j
"'Wagon Wheels" is grand entertain- j
ment for all youngsters from 8 to 80 i
once it gets under way. It has speed ι
and action and right triumphs. The
villain gets his Just deserts and the
caravan reaches Oregon. Once it gets
under way, that is. For a few mo
ments you may be overcome by the
dire foreboding that this is to be a
dreary opus, wherein many covered j
wagons parade across many dusty
prairies to the accompaniment of
many people intoning the song after
which the film evidently was named. !
(The now too familiar "Wagon
Wheels" is done only once, however, [
and done well.) But once the Oregon
bound wagon train gets out into the
open country things begin to pick up,
what with the hostility of the Indians
and the nefarious machinations of
villain Monte Blue, who wants to
protect his fur business.
Randolph Scott is the handsome
member of the trio of guides who j
leads the way in repulsing the In
dians and does away with Mr. Blue
in the accepted manner, accomplish
able only by a clean-living, hard
fighting son of the West. In so doing
he finally wins the heart and hand
of the heirt Interest of the caravan,
Gail Patrick. Billy Lee, a "cute" baby
star who really is, turns in the stellar
performance, even making two red
skins bite the dust through trusty
work with a sling-shot. Among the
others taking part are two terribly
attired guides, one of whom is an un
recognizable Raymond Hatton: a
lady who sings beautifully, a lady who
sings atrociously and mobs of Indians.
They have not made a "Cimarron."
but they have made a film with plenty
of entertainment for Western fans.
Co-featured with "Wagon Wheels"
is the film for every child. "The
Search for Santa Claus," a motion
picture history of The Evening Star's
expedition in Santa Claus Land. The
film opens with the take-off of the
plane bearing Capt. Kleinschmidt,
leader of the expedition, and follows
him through his travels in the land
of the Eskimos and finally to his goal,
the Arctic home of Kris Kringle him
self.
Then the children are taken on an
exciting film Journey through Santa
Claus' great workshops, where all of
his toys are made and tested, and
then to his observatory, where he
watches all children through a mam
moth telescope and marks down their
good and bad deeds in a huge book.
Youngsters from 8 to 80 will enjoy
this one, too.
A handsome Max Fleischer Color
Classic, "Little Dutch Mill," is in
cluded among the short subjects.

Committee Will Select Smartest-Looking Extras
to Receive More Money for Appearing
in Society Scenes.
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.
Hollywood, calif., November
30 (N.A.NA.).—One of the
most unusual meetings ever
held in Hollywood takes place
when the woman extras of
the colony parade before a selected
committee of 10, in orfler to end the
dispute that has been going on for
some time, as to whether a girl shall
be hired as a "dress extra" or a "reg
ular extra."
It makes all the difference In the
world to the girls and it will help the
casting officials no end. because, in
the future, a call for "dress extras"
won't be answered by those not quali
fied for the part.
I "Dress people," in studio parlance,
are girls who have attractive ward
robes and the poise and distinction to
appear in a film showing a smart
crowd, without looking out of place.
In other words, they must look as if
they "belonged." If you get into this
class, your pay is $15 a day.
If you can't make the grade and are
only a "regular" extra, you will play
the part of street crowds or people in
simpler circumstances, and get $7.50
a day.
Dress people own their own ward
robes and other extras are costumed
by the studios.
At present, Hollywood studios have
figured out that more than 20 per cent
of their dally calls are for "dress
extras." Hence the decision to end
all argument on the subject by giving
each girl a fair chance to be registered
for this special work.
The committee will consist of vari
ous casting men from the studios and
two fashion artists, as yet unan
nounced. In order to get lull camera
effect, the girls may appear in make
up and may even be beautified by the
make-up department of R-K-O, where
the meeting will take place.
As they parade around one of the
biggest sound stages on the lot they
will be called out by numbers until
the lucky few who win remain on the
stage.
Hollywood got Its first glimpse of
Estelle Merle O'Brien Thompson,
known on the screen as Merle Oberon.
when she dined at the Trocadero the
other evening, and voted her even
more lovely in person than in films.
Miss Oberon's heritage is Irish,
which explains her tip-tilted nose:
English, which her clipped speech
gives away, and French, which may
have a lot to do with the chic man
ner In which she wears her clothes.
"The Private Life of Henry VHI,"
in which she played Ann Boleyn. in
troduced Merle Oberon to the Amer
ican public, but her first American
film will be "The Folies Bergere de
Paris," which will star Maurice
Chevalier.
Norman Krasna, whose "Louder,
Please" originally brought him to the
attention of Hollywood producers, is
assigned by Paramount to write
Dietrich's next film. Which doesn't
look as If that company expected her
to leave it, as has been rumored.
Other rumors are to the effect that
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer is testing Rosa
mund Plnchot for a part in "The
Good Earth," though she is supposed
to be scheduled to appear in "The
•Brave Live On."
