MARION DAVIES HAS TRIUMPH IN “MARIANNE” All Star Cast Wil Be Seen in “‘Leathernecking” Tomorrow Night With all the ingredients for a modernized light opera, “Marianne’ ] |scored a distinct triumph at the| | Capitol Theatre last night with | Marion Davies in the title role. This is one of the most tuneful talking films yet to reach the screcn without suffering an in- fringement upon dramatic values ‘\and it sparkles with a romantic charm seldom approached in any other entertainment medium. For Miss Davies, this new sound feature is a personal triumph. She ys a most difficult role, en tirely in French and broken-English |dialect and negotiates her song numbers in splendid voice. Has Lyrical Voice Lawrence Gray, who plays oppo- site her as her doughboy sweet- heart, is surprisingly Iyrical of voice and their love song scenes | together are nothing short of mag- nificent. The love ballad, “Just You—Just Me,” is a sure-fire hit and the theme song, “Marianne,” is de- |lightfully pleasing. Cliff (Ukelele |Ike) Edwards strums several nov- elty numbers, “Sugar,” and “Hang On to Me” in his own inimitable | manner, and Bemny Rubin, who chares comedy relief honors with him, puts pep and personality into his share of the musical sequences. Story of Play The story concerns peasant girl who falls in love with| |an A. E. F. doughboy who is on his way home after the Armistice: Just | | as she is about to accept him, her] |cld soldier-lover returns, blinded by the' war, Moxed by pity and re-| morse, she sends the (hughbny‘ away, resolved to care for the blind man. Sensing her love for the| American boy, the gallant snldlerl | takes priestly vows, freeing Mar- ianne «so she might join her real| : sweetheart. | Included in a French! the supporting cast |of “Marianne” are Robert Edeson, | George Baxter, Emil Chautard, Scott Kolk and others of nole; “Marianne” will be presented for the last times tonight. “Leathcrnecking” Tomorrow At the’ Capitol theatre tomorrow I night, the all-star comedy bomb- | shell “Leathernecking” will be |shown. The cast includes Irene| ‘Dunnc Ken Murray, Louise Fazen- ;dn Ned Sparks, Lilyan Tashman, | Eddie Foy, Jr., Benny Rubin, Rita |La Roy, Fred Santley, Baron von Brinken and Carl Gerrard. “Leathernecking” is a comedy of Marine Corps life in Honolulu. It was adapted from the stage play “Present Arms.” ., AP.A.

And the |deseription fits perfectly. Its au- thors are Harry Leon Wilson and Booth Tarkington. Norma Terris and J. Harold Mur- ray enact the leading roles. Mlxs Terris, cast as “Adele Ran- an aristocratic daughter of the South, enacts her part with a finish and understanding thay it perhaps the most out- standing thing of the entire pro- | duction Murray, in the title role, is ro- mantic, handsome, a talented actor and reveals a voice the equal of which never has been heard befors on a local screen. Singing Is Delightful The stars carried the audience with them throughout, their sing- ing of “Romance,” the principal song of the production, being parti- cularly pleasing. Stepin Fetchit, the colored come- dian, is funnier than ever and in addition, in several scenes, reveals that he is a very fine dramatic performer. ‘His singing of “I'm a Peaceful Man,” is a gem. Myrna Loy, Robert Edeson and Douglas Gilmore all contribute finely drawn characters. Acting Is Natural The acting at all times is na- tural and convincing. The songs, “Romance,” “After a Million Dreams,” “Heaven Is Home,” and “I'm a Peaceful Man,” are the joint product of a corps of composers, headed by Walter Donaldson and Edgar Leslie. “Cameo Kirby” will be repeated tonight. 5 Coming to the Coliseum soon is the all-talking production “Troop- ‘ers Three.” Nation’s Roughest Riders Uncle Sam’s roughest riders, troopers of the United States Cav- alry, are the heroes of “Troopers Three,” a spectacular outdoor &ll- talking picture produced by Tif- fany with approval and coopera- tion of the cavalry division of the United States Army. Rex Lease, Roscoe Karns and Slim Summerville portray the three rockies with whose adventures the story is principally concerned. The story is an origimal by Ar- thur Guy Empy. This soldier-au- thor of “Over the Tcp,” “The First Call,” and “A Hell of a War,” has turned to peace time for his story of “Troopers Three.” ————————— PRUSSIA SHUTS LEGATION | MUNICH, Jan. 24—Prussia, on April 1, will abandon the legation which she has maintained here in the capital of E@vana for half a century.
