■ “SHOW GIRL IN HOLLYWOOD.” ■ Take a trip through the First NatF ional Studio and all the famous places of Hollywood! This is the advice broadcast by the management of the Princess Theatre, where “Show Girl in Hollywood,” First National’s amusing screen drama of the film capital, with Alice White and Jack Mulhall, concludes to-night (Tuesday). Mervyn Leßoy, in directing the J. P. McEvoy story, took his .company on location to many of the far-famed spots of Hollywood and vicinity. When not- working on the studio lot he took scenes showing the gayest and most celebrated rendezvous and night life resorts of the celluloid metropolis. The glamorous Montemarte .Cafe, the Hollywood Theatre, Hollywood Boulevard, Beverly Hills, the hillside bungalows, and other characteristic features arc a background for the drama of little Dixie Dugan (Alice White) who tries to make good in pictures. Leßoy takes audiences for a peer inside the projection rooms, the mixer s booth, back of the sets and cameras, and an electrician’s eye view of picture making. He even makes a film as part of the story, which is shown projected in a pre-view at a Hollywood theatre. He remains faithful to MoEvoy’s story throughout. Dixie, a Broadway giri, tries for success in talkies. She fails at first, but just at the bitterest moment everything comes to her at once. Harvey Thew and James .A. Star adapted The story and wrote the dialogue. Blanche Sweet has a prominent talking role. Ford Sterling and John Miljnn are also. in the cast. There are several musical sequences in Technicolour. Also Four Shorts. Prices: 2s, Is 6d plus tax. r -■■•••
