METROPOLITAN—“Oone Year to Live.” “One Year to Live" a First Na- tional picture with a capable cast, headed by Aileen Pringle; “King Cotton,” a Lloyd Hamilton comedy: the trick stereoscoplk, “Zowije!”; a good news reel, vocal selections’ by Mary Lucla Fish, music by the Brees- kin Orchestra provide the program at Crandall's Metropolitan Theater this week. The feature film pictures the story of two Parisian sisters, one a sup- posedly incurable invalid and the other struggling to maintain their little household by working as a maid in a theater. Elise, the maid, is loved by her sister's physician, as well as by an American Army of- ficer. Although valuing the doctor’s friendship, her heart goes to the Yankee and complications ensue. Elise incurs the jealousy of her theater mistress, Lolette, a dancing star, who cares for the Amerjcan of- ficer, and also attracts the unwel- come attentions of Brunel, director of the theater. To add to the maid's troubles, the doctor informs her that she has but one year to live, and Elise decides to make the most of the time. From there the story rushes to a startling climax. Aileen Pringle {s charming as Elise, while Dorothy Mackaill takes good care of the role of the invalid Rosemary Theby is & color- ful Lolette, and Antonio Moreno, Sam De Grasse, Joseph Kilgour and Leo White are well cast. The stag- ing of the theater und cafe scenes is superb. A Dbear and some other animals prove of great assistance to Lloyd Hamilton in his comedy. The red and blue spectacles handed you as you enter the theater help you to get a real “kick” from “Zowie” a “third dimension” picture that is as- tonishing as well as amusing. The musical section of the enter- tainment is quite worth while. Miss Fish, a pupil of Jean De Reszke, is a_delightful soprano, and the Met- ropolitan Orchestra has a popular program. PALACE—*“Confessions of a Queen.” The follles of Christian II, King of Illiyria, whose ‘“heart was greater than his kingdom,” occupy muost of the film, “‘Confessions of a Queen,” at Loew's Palace this week, where those sterling stars, Alice Terry, the beautiful, and Lewis Stone do their best with a wobbly story. Victor Seastrom has injected bits of brillance in direcgng the action, and there are moments of finesse,.which sparkle. Alice Terry has never seemed more beautiful than as the high principled queen, who has married a philanderer, and strives the best she can to uphold the dignity of the reigning house and the birthright of her little son. Settings in the old kingdom of Illyria are gorgeous, and the trappings of the court and queen are sumptuous. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. Stone, as the free hearted King creates a lovable rascal, in spite of the insults which he continuously heaps upon the queen whom he pretends and seems ' to love. Revolution breaks out, however, the King, the queen and a scheming cousin, Alexei, who is'secretly aspiring to the hand and heart of the queen, depart for exile in Parls, after an ex: clting escape: As the king's former consort, conniving with the revolution- ists, conspires to kill him, the queen suddenly appears, in unexpected and rather inexplicable fashion, to’ save him, renounce the throne, and return to his love. There are also a rolstering comedy, “He Who Get Smacked,” with Ralph Grames; a news reel, Topics of the Day, and a mu: al interlude by the Palace Orchestra, directed by Thomas J. Gannon. RIALTO—"Introduce Me.” Syncopation week opened yesterday at the Rialto. The pleture feature presents Doug- Ias MacLean, in “Introduce Me,” as tickling a comedy us has been shown here in some time. Douglas is at his best and he has with him a cute little midget, Anne Cornwall, one of the 1925 recruits from the Christie ranks. The story of “Introduce Me,” typ- ically MacLean, ventures into the region of Alpine climbing. Jimmy Hughes, a tourist in Parls, sees and loves Betty Perry, likewise a tourist in Paris. In an effort to make the acquaintance of Betty's father and thus secure un introduction to Betty, Jimmle presents him with a trick cigar, the explosion of which cinches matters in that quarter. Nothing daunted, Jimmy follows Betty and her father to the Alps on the stolen ticket and with the valise and name of J . Roberts, the greatest American climber. Rather than confess himsel¢ an émpostor Jimmie is forced to enter a contest to climb a certain mountain with the champions of Europe as his competitors. The sudden appearance W. STV of a bear behind him makes his up- ward journey easy, whereas a fall brings about his speedy descent. The details invite inspection. L. J. Ratcliffe, as the irate father; Robert Ober, a high-batting pal; Lee Shumway, the real J. K. Roberts, and Wade Boteler, a mountain guide, are all good. Supplemental features’ include the International News, a Krazy Kat car- toon, an organ recital, the orchestra overture and a jazz revue, introducing song and dance novelties, all of which are in keeping with the atmosphere of syncopation. COLUMBIA—"Zander the Great.” Marion Davies, blonde beauty of the Hearst movies, is playing here a sec- ond week at the Columbla Theater in the film version of Alice Brady’s stage success, “Zander the Great.” In the screen pl: Mr. Urban has provided wonderful "settings, but there are a number of changes in the story. The multitude of rabbits that warrant the catch lines of the play, however, are not missing in the movies. Decidedly to the-contrary, they are more numer- ous than it was possible to show on the stage. In the role of Mamie, the sincere lit- tle orphan girl who has made it her mission in life to “iind Zander's fa- ther,” Miss Davies has a role very different to any she has attempted in her recent super-luxurious costume films. She also interprets the role in her own pecullar way—not at all like Miss Brady. For those who did not see the stage play. however, Miss Da- vies' Mamie may be quite satisfactory. The voice in the stage version proved a great help in giving a genulne and colorful characterization. John Huff is a delightful little Zan- der, and Harrison Ford a fine foil for the blonde Marion, as the hero—a bad man gone right. Holbrook Blinn, Hobart Bosworth, Harry Myers and others giye interesting portrayals.
