QUEEN ATTRACTION rector Eddie Oline U going to give
a simplified lesson in the game as a
component part of thrilling scenes in
a picture at the Queen Theatre,
starting Friday, November 15
The picture is “Thev Forward
Fuss," a First National and Vita
phone production which ‘features
Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., and Loretta
Young. The U. S. C. football team,
with Fairbanks and Guinn Williams,
does the cinema playing, with Jeff
Cravath, • All-American center, as
technical director,,
Football scenes in “The Forward
Pass” were taken in eloseups, with
full sound accompaniment, and the
dramatic action will be so woven
into the game that every important
phusc of football will be shown.
The cameras for the most part 'are
eleVuted above the field from ten to
fifteen feet, and follow the action
closely- No spectator of the real
game could possibly see it so well
from the stands.
“If motion picture audiences don’t
have a very thorough idea of the
game of foothall-r-so that, after see-
ing the picture, they will enjoy foot-
ball games much more' than before—
I don't know anything about the game
myself!’’ is the guarantee of the
mighty Cravath.
Loretta Young, co-star with
Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. in the
“Forward Pass.”

In his initial audible offering,
Lloyd has extremely colorful back-
ground throughout the entire story.
The sequence .in Chinatown which
covers approximately half of the pic-
ture, extended a liberal .invitation for
comedy, ad well as. mystery and
thrills, with sound to heighten eaeh
incident.
There is a touch of Belasco in
“Welcome Danger” with Lloyd cre-
ating a tension in .^cverul spots un-

Noah Young, as a young police

Barbara Kent, besides being deco-

William Wailing and Charles Mid-

easy matter to reach his goal. It

was selected. Hie first picture was
“Men Who Have Loved Me.”
Gravea achieved a substantial suc-

he got a swelled head and began to

proved himself a success in his fam-

brought him baok to' Hollywood.
He entered the commercial end of

acted in pictures for Sennett, War-

His work in the following pictures
has been given high praise—“Gold
