Actress Says Long Dresses
Arc Immoral
Dorothy Mackaill Predicts Skirts Below
Knees Will Soon Be Prohibited
The long dresses are petting: posi
tively naughty, according to Dorothy
Mackaill. Soon it will be immoral to
wear skirts below the knees!
Of course the blonde English ac
tress is “spoofing” us a bit, but there
is something to what she says. And
she cites her latest First National-
Vitaphone film vehicle, “Hard to (let”
as Exhibits A. B and C. As she says:
“1 wear short skirts in part of the
picture. But I’m a manikin in the
st< ry, so part of the time 1 am seen
posing in ‘ultra’ creations from Paris.
Evidently ‘ultra’ in this case means
ultra long. But it might easily be
mistaken for a synonym for ‘hot,’ if
you see the dresses.
“No, I'm not joshing. Short skirts
are now moral and the French
naughtiness that makes imported
gowns so highly prized comes in part
from effective use of length at the
expense of circumference. The con

“If it’s a Paramount picture, it’s
the best show in town" especial
ly if it's a Charles (Buddy) Rogers
picture. And “Half Way to Heaven,”
which opens December 23 at the Para
mount theatre, is that kind of a pic
ture. Rogers in a new, a different
role, thrills you with daring stunts
on the aerial-trapeze, shows you what
love is all about, makes you forget
all your troubles and smile, and, al
together. uses bis engaging boyish
ness. splendid physique, and eleancut
evening of gorgeous diversion.
“Half Way to Heaven” brings Bud
dy into the limelight as a daring per
former in a carnival troupe, in love
with lovely .lean Arthur. Paul Lukas
is the third member of the triangle.
Through a series of exciting events,
the romance of Miss Arthur and Bud
dy blossoms and fades and blossoms
again in spite of the sinister menace
of Lukas.

“Oh. Yeah?”
“flow’d you guess it? That’s the

The Rialto presents this week the
first all talking real railroad comedy
drama yet screened. Critics have hail
ed Oh Yeah with praise for its witty
dialogue and fast moving situations.
Dude and Dusty, so the story goes,
blow into Linda, a railroad town, as

two first rate railroaders. Plenty of
