His pictures are clean and each succeed- ing production shows his earnest and conscientious efforts for better and still better pictures.” “Yolanda” is a familiar tale, telling of the love of Mary of Burgundy for an impoverished prince. Her father does not approve of the match or of Mary's fondness for attending peas- ant festiy dutiful, but inward \ s, Mary escapes with her chum to a fair in the dis- guise of Yolanda. She meets the prince, also incognito, their love ripens and he wooes her as the sim- ple burgher maid. Later she saves life in a tournament. Her father ms to sponsor the prinee’s suit, but betroths Mary to the Dauphin of Pickford in “Dorothy Vernon of Had- don Hall.” Many “bits of action are reminiscent of that picture. Ralph Graves is a pleasing hero; Lyn Har- ding convincing as the despotic.duke; Holbrook Blinn is excellent as Louis XI; Johnny Dooley handles the dif- ficult role of the half-witted dauphin with artistry and Theresa Conover is a majestic queen. Owing to the length of the feature only a news reel is shown in addi- tion. The orchestra contributes a spirited interpretation of the musical score. Metropolitan—"[n Ho]]y- wood With Potash and Perlmutter.” Here we have them again—"Potash and Perlmutter,” this time in Holly- wood, and projected on the screen for the week at Crandall's Metropolitan. It's a gorgeous return. George Sid- ney xander Carr in the two famous roles take a turn at making movies, and the comedy which they inject into the business, the take-off which the whole thing provides on the motion picture industry is sur- prisingly refreshing. Two well-known actors play the leads. George Sidney, replacing the late Barney Bernard, portrays the elder partner with a shrewdness and humaneness that is deliclous, Alex- ander Carr, the original, pictures the other. There is also Vera Gordon, as Rosie, his wife—she of “Humoresque” fame, who has never failed vet to make her hit We see Constance Talmadge in as clever a bit of vamping as she has cver presented, appearing briefly while she gives the two partners a brilliant sample of acting, nearly scaring poor Perlmutter into persp ration and heart-failure. Then in walks her famous sister, Norma Tal- THE Palace—""Sinners in Heaven.” inaers in Heaven.” the Paramount picture featured at the Palace Thea- ter this week, is a South Sea Island tale with a novel twist at the begin- ning, but with the same old ending. Perhaps some day when a party is on a- voyage in southern waters there will be a wreck, and more than two people, one of either sex, will survive, Of course, the triangular effect has been tried, but it would be refresh- ing to have more people saved in- f an obvious couple. - inners in Heaven” Bebe Dan- and Richard Dix seem to work hard with a lot of negroes in black wool wigs and not much else in work- ing up suspense for the big climax. Miss Danicls for some reason wears an atroclous semi-blonde wig (per- haps because she has bobbed her own) that appears a bit unnatural. Her Annette Kellerman scene (minus An- e) is startling. Mr. Dix does h man role convincingly. He has a fine physique and manages to scowl effectively throughout the picture. “Sinners in Heaven™ is the film ver- sion of Clive Arden’s prize novel. It tells of Barbara Stockley, sweet, un- sophisticated daughter of an English clergyman, who is engaged to a nice young man, but wants to sew femi- nine wild oats before settling down to married life. A gay widow friend, whose brothter is a daring aviator, arranges that Barbara accompany her and her brothter (Mr. Dix) on an around-the-world seaplane trip. The party is wrecked in the Indian Ocean. There follows the usual South Sea Island problem of a couple living to- gether without marriage and with cannibal obbligato. Mr. Dix is con- sidered a white god until he cuts him- self while shaving. Then the fight is on. The couple ape to civiliza- tion provides the obvious finale. T EVENING. STAR yet tired of this inspiring picture. Because of its historical nature and the human interest it affords, “The Covered Wagon” has more than an ordinary appeal, and for this attracts one again and again. Ernest Torrence, Warren Kerrigan, Lois Wilson, Tully Marshall and Charles Ogle are seen in leading roles. The music Is provided by the Columbia Orchestra, under Leon Brusilof. Tivoli—"Fools in the Dark.” Chills, thrills and plenty of laughs— wholesome, hearty, soul - shaking laughter—are provided this week at Crandall's Tivoli Theater. For it's a rattling good bill. The feature picture, “Fool In the Dark,” with Matt Moore and Patsy Ruth Miller, combines an odd mix- ture of mystery, villainy, romance and comedy. The musical high light of the program Is the Abbey Trio of young women, who have blending voices for close harmony 5 ols in the Dark” sets its audi- ence on the edge of the chairs, after a prolonged getaway, and takes the hero lover and sweet-faced heroine through miles of agony and sus- pense, in a house of sliding panels, silent swinging doors, crashing chan- dellers and queer spooks. The heroine’s uncle, a great scientist, con- 22K cocts a program calculated to strike terror into the boldest heart, in order to test the supposed week-kneed hero, played by Matt Moore. After a fruitless and hair ralsing experience in the apparently haunted house, the hero dashes into a den, the “Port of Missing Men” to rescue the heroine, only to find that a villainous sorvant of the old uncle has turned the tables, actually kidnaped the girl for his own, and is sailing away to India. A thrilling rescue is made, in which Moore apparently drops from an airplane onto the ship, fights the whole crew to a standstill, and finally rescues his sweetheart in a climax of chilling intensity.. All this while smacking somewhat of other plots, is staged with superb craft- manship and powerful effect. Among the delightful and truly comical elements of the picture is the old negro, with his three-ring puzzle, Wwho follows the “boss’” through thick and thin, and engages in an experience with a skeleton in the “haunted house,” which is en- tirely original and actually side- splitting. Audiences gave the program a rousing reception yesterday. Em- bellishments to the bill include an orchestral overture, conducted by Ellas Breeskin, a news recl, and Tivoli's “Wanderings” to ancient Greece RENTS REDUCED in the 2 WASHINGTON, D. C., MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 29. 1924. Ambassador — “In Holly- Perlmutter.” “In Hollywood with Potash and Perimutter,” which is revived at length for the Metropolitan Theater, is also the feature film at the Am- bassador Theater for the first three days this week. It is a picturization of the Montague Glass story of Potash and Perimutter's amusing adventure in the motion picture busin: ander Carr plays his famou Mawruss Perlmutter and George Sid- ney has the late Barney Barnard's part of Abe Potash. Will Rogers in “A Truthful Liar" provides the comic reel and a news film completes the bill. Central—"Women Men Marry.” Two features, “Women Men Marr: starring I Lincoln, and one Jack Dempsey's YFight and Win" pic tures are offered at Crandall's Central the first two days of this week. In the longer film Lincoln is sup- ported by Hedda Hopper, Florence Dixon, Julia Swayne Gordon and Mar- garet Seddon.

This is a remarkable film with well chosen cast, beautiful costumes and aplendid settings. The incident in the episode where Mary is fleeing home from the fair to prevent her father's knowing of her absence shows some exquisite scenery. The production good direction except in the :nes where the hero and heroine scape from Louis XI's palace. There considerable confusion seems to be the result of much cutting. The final love scene in peaceful Burgundy is flashed a bit abruptly after the break aut the palace gates.
