It takes several hours to reach a given point, and then moves past_that point with all the reckless speed of a procession of tanks. “The Sea Beast” was adapted from the famous story of whaling days “Moby Dick,” and was selected b Mr. Barrymore after he had seen Down to the Sea in Ships.” He vearned for the opportunity to har- poon a whale, and “The Sea Beast" cives him more than one chance to do so. He goes forth from New Bed- « determined to conquer the most vicious of all whales, Moby Dick, whose white head has been a source f terror to seamen on all the seven In his first er Dick our hero com he iands the I th ounter with Moby ut second best rpoon successtully, but infurfated whaule turns on him and tes off his leg.

In spite “The Merry Widow,” “The Big Parade” and “Ben-Hur” have done very well all by themselves. In- deed, “The Big Parade” {s making more money than any picture that has ever been shown in New York. Maj. Edward Bowes, who succeeded Samuel L. Rothafel (“Roxy") as man- aging director of the Capitol Theater, recertly remarked: ‘“The prologue extracts an important part of the plot effect which the makers of the picture have gone to great lengths to achieve. The medium of the stage is different from that of the screen; the tempo, o clements are entirely forelgn; the from the elements of the motion pic- ture as to make the contrast appear ludferous.” This is true talk—and I, for one, hope that it will be absorbed and di- gested by exhibitors throughout the country. (Covyright, 1026.) Everybody Not Welcome. NEW ruling has been adopted by the Crandall executives with re- gard to the public attendance at the radio concerts from the stage of the Metropolitan Theater Saturday nights. It was originally the privilege of any one to attend these gratuitous enter- taipments. Al that is changed now. The outside public will not be ad-. mitted to the radio programs, but all of those in the house at the last per- formance who care to will be, as here- tofore, invited to remain for the broad- casting. Mrs. Valentino's Picture. CAMERA work on “When Love Grows Cold,” the old Laura Jean Libbey romance. in which Natacha Rambova (Mrs. Ruddlph Valentino) Is starred, has been concluded, and the film is now in the final stages of preparation. The film production 1s described as a gripping drama of modern life. Although the action of the story adheres closely to the Lib- bey plot, the costumes and mount- ings have been modernized. = Miss Rambova provided herself with a gor- geous wardrobe. Clive Brook played opposite Miss Rambova, while Sam Hardy, Kathlene Martin, Kathryn Hill, Johnnie Gough and little Russell Griffin supported the star. The story was adapted by John C. Brownell, home office scenario chief, with con- Harry Q.

Sascha Platov and Lols Natalle, Eu- ropean dancers, will appear in the spe- cial prologue arranged by Mischa Gut- erson. The overture by the Rialto Con- cert Orchestra will be “Morning, Noon and Night,” by Suppe, which, together with a comedy and the International News, will complete the program. METROPOLITAN—"Joanna.” Crandall's Metropolitan Theater this week, beginning this afternoon, an- nounces a bill of sprightliness’ and vivacious good humor, whose chief feature Is “Joanna,” First National's film version of the serial of the same name, in which Dorothy Mackaill and Jack Mulhall have the principal roles. The comedy will be supplied by Lu- pino Lane, English funster, in “The Fighting Dude,” and the Metropolitan World Survey with elaborate musical embellishment will complete the pro- gram. “Joanna” is the story of a young working girl, an inteliigent and re- sourceful stenographer, who is given bank account of $1,000,000 to do with as she likes, provided she agree to ask no questions as to the donor or the reason for the contribution. It takes only about three years for Jo- anna Manners to spend the last of the miilion, and during that period she plays a game th’, seems to be fast and loose, but which is said, in reality, to reflect one of the finest trib- utes ever paid to the poise, judgment and decency of the modern American girl. The climax of the story is thrill- ing and the denouement brings the real reason of it all. Paul Nicholson, George Fawecett, Dolores Del Rio, John T. Murray, Rita Carewe, daughter of Edwin Carewe, who directed the picture; Edward Da- vis and Lillian Langdon are in the cast. The overture, devised by Mr. Brees- Kkin, embraces the most melodious of Irving Berlin's tuneful compositions. The orchestral accompaniment of the feature will suggest “Just a Cottage Small by the Waterfall,” +nd the exit will be “Wh unny.” PALACE—"“Womanhandled.” One of the gavest comedy-romances of the season is promised at Loew Palace this week in “\Womanhandled, ) th master. | s afternoon and ev th this a fternoon and and terncon Shown “Manhandied.” by Arthur turing Richard Dix Ralston. with Olive Tel mund Breese and Cora Willlams.

Directed by Clarence Brown, “The 1gle” Is a romance of the Russian court in the days of Catherine the Great. It is'a retitled photoplay ver- slon of Alexander Pushkin's Russian classic, “Dubrovsky,” which reveals Valentino as a Cossack nobleman at Catherine’s court, who affronts the imperfous Catherine by leaving her side to rescue a beauty from a run- away. Outlawed for thi: he flees to his father's home in the provinces, only to learn that his father's estates have been illegally possessed by an | enemy, with all hope of the appeal cut off. The young man then becorhes a bandit. One of his first captures is the girl whom he had rescued from the runaway and whom he discovers that he loves, but that she is the daughter of the man who dispossessed his father. Gaining admission to his enemy’s castle in the guise of a French tutor, the outlaw not only wins the heart of the beauty, but nearly frightens her father to death with warnings frém “The Eagle.” Vilma Bankey, the famous Hunga- ian beauty, and the urbane Louise Dresser are foremost in the cast. A Mermaid comedy, “On_Edge"; the International Newsreel and orchestral music under the direction of* Leon Brusilof will complete the program. { does not TIVOLI—“The Vanishing American.
