AMUSEMENTS.

EVERYBODYS PICTURES. COLLEEN MOORE—TO-NIGHT. When Colleen Moore returned from location,' where ocean scenes were filmed for her new,First National picture, “Oh, Kay!” to be screened to-night ai the Princess Theatre, -she was pronounced by her fellow players to be.a first' class able seaman. A decidedly nautical” atmosphere was supplied by the scenarist for several episodes of this humorous screen story, in which the vivacious Colleen made numerous scenes aboard an old wind-jammer, rowed a skiff and even acted as skipper and crew of a fast little sloop. The sloop, a star-boat, racing type, captured the enthusiastic interest of Colleen, wlio went sailing in the sporty little craft whenever she fvas most needed before the cameras. She confessed that she found handling mainsheet, jib and tiller all at one time was a job better suited to a person with four arms, but she was fascinated by the sport. She gives promise of becoming an expert sailor thanks to the tutelage of her producer, John McCormick, a former naval officer. As soon as "camera work was completed on location near Santa Barbara, Miss Moore and the cast and production staff filming “Oh Kay!” went aboard a sailing vessel and cruised in the waters around Catalina Island for other scenes, which include the episode

in which Colleen displays her prowess in a little sailboat. Mervyn Le Roy * directed “Oh Kay!” from the scenario prepared by Carey Wilson. The supporting cast is composed of Lawrence Gray, Alfui Hale, Ford Sterling, Cfaude Gillingwater, Julanne Johnston, Edgar Norton and others. A good supporting series will also be presented. A special feature at the Princess Theatre at present is the fine musical selections played by Mr F. Restieaux and his orchestra during the screening of the pictures.
