He liv and works in obscurity and no one gives him a thought, at least so long as the Friendly beacon is aglow One mention him because work-aday routine parallels in certain respects that of the lonely motion picture projectionist. There is seemingly no end to the latter's daily chores; he, too, works in obscurity In the old days the projectionist was on the job from the time the theatre opened until it closed, and it was not unusual for him to have to eat his luncheon and dinner in the booth while running the show Though the hours were long and the comparatively low ($13 or $20 the usual weekly recompense) sithe work itself was physically easy ud it lured all manner of men, including garment cutters, truck drivers, electricians and roustabouts. It was tough and undignified occupation, but all that changed with the "Sinners in Paradise" t John Boles and Madge Evans are arred today in this romance-of a South Pacific island—others include Martin is Salute" eatre is this account of life at the which James Ellison and Marsha Hunt provide tic interes The Fighting Poet Ronald Colman has just that right blend of romantic ogor and dreamy mysticism which makes him the ideal actor for the part of Fran-cols Villon. He is working now.on "If I Were King," a story dealing with the turbulent life of that di reputable and inspi ed French poet. Villon was the friend and acknowledged leader of the Paris unde world, though as he lived in the 15th century, "underworld" is perhaps the wrong word.
He was, at any rate, known as "The Vagabond King," and when Paris was threatened by attack from the Burgundians he led all the beggars and the rogues of the taverns against the enemy and saved the city. This may not be accurate history, but it makes a good story. The film is based on the popular play by Justin McCarthy, and has already been filmed once in a musical version, with Dennis King as Villon, Colman's leading lady is Frances Dee, and others in the large cast are Basil Rathbone, Henry Wilcoxson and that fine English character actor, C. V.
