It is titled "Freedom of the Press and is a film version of an original screen story by Peter It. Kyne. "Freedom of the Press, which is a Universal picture will come to the Egyptian theatre starting Sunday. A battle between the cruel forces of the sword and the mighty power of the pen is the dramatic theme upon whiih the picture is bused. Thc underworld of a big city is the sword and the columns of u large daily paper is the pen. Not even the love of the underworld king's ward and the son of the newspaper published can bring amity between the two forces before the entire city is rocked by the titanic Superstition Code With Stage Influence Talking pictures have brought stage superstitions to Hollywood. As a result, whistling is no longer heard about the film stages or in the chorus dreeing rooms, cioss-cyc- d girls me regarded upon with favor of drend. Although Hollywood was originally peopled by stage folk, the footlights superstitions were fast losing caste un'il the talkers canto to revive them. N:iw, the film capital is reverting buck to its original training. This is pirticularly evident in the musical shows, with their stage settings and atmosphere. In laramounts musical film, "Close Harmony, the best superstitions of the musical stage were treated with scrupulous respect. In selecting the dancing girls for the chorus supporting Nancy Carroll in her stage act, John Cromwell and Edward Sutherland, were careful not to include any girl whose eyes showed tho slightest tendency to admire the other. A cross eyed chorus girl is known to bring bad luck to a musical show. Just why, none is exactly sure. Whistling on the set was suppressed with a stern hand. It appears that there is some peculiar malignant disaster which whistling huekstuge, especially near dressing rooms, is apt to invoke. And as for whistling the song of n musical play before the show is actually produced that is to not only invite, but dare catastrophe. Charles "Buddy Rogers was the chief offender in this respect, having been caught whistling a song from the production in his own dressing room. After Jack Oakic and Richard "Sheets" Gallagher had explained to him the dire calamaties, Rogers straightway swore off whistling for all time. Black cats are supposed to exercise a benign influence over the stage, so a very dusky tabby was on hand during the filming of "Close Harmony. Other superstitions treated with careful regard were those relating to the "tag, or closing line, of the production; the kind of shoes used in dance acts, and tho manner of bestowing wardrobe articles. The "tag, best stage superstition has it. must never be spoken at rehearsals. It brings bad luck. New shoes are looked upon with suspicion. For an opening performance most dancers prefer footwear that has been associated with past triumphs. As for the placing of clothes or shoes on dressers are bud form as well as bad luck, and hats placed upon trunks are welcome mats to disaster. Only ladders seem sure of holding their old places in Hollywood's superstition code. Evidently it always has been, and ever will lie, bad link, to walk- under a ladder onstage, or offstage. xd -- back-stag- TONE. struggle that finally crushes the out- lawed group.

Just as he leaves the apartment of "The Canary on the night of the murder, a scream is heard from the apartment but, when he, with the night elevator man, knocks on the diur of the chorus queen's apartment, The Canarys voice assures him everything is all right. Alys La Fosse, played by Jean Arthur, chorus girl friend of "The Canary who lives next door, is shown to possess a key to "The Canarys apartment.
