HAD FILM EXPERIENCE.

Alison Skipworth, famous screen actress who scored signally in “The Sporting Widow,” and may be seen this week in “He Learned About Women” coming to the Eegent Theatre, made her first picture, a silent one, for Paramount many years ago. It was in 1919, shortly after “39 East,” the famous American stage play in which she was appearing was closed by the Actors’ Strike. The play was sold to Paramount, and Miss Skipworth signed to play her stage role on the screen. She returned to the stage for six years before making another picture. Now she is under long-term contract to Paramount.

Most screen stars start life hoping to be doctors, lawyers or firemen. Not Stuart Erwin. I%e star of Paramount’s new comedy, “He Learned About Women,” soon to be screened at the Eegent Theatre, made up his mind that acting was to be his profession —and acting it was. To-day this young man has reached the top ranks of screen fame as one of filmdom’s foremost humorous players. In “He Learned About Women,” Erwin is supported by Alison Skipworth, remembered for “The Sporting Widow.’’
