Earl Carroll's Vanities, which opened last night at the National Theater, is disappointing. e modern ‘“revue,” no matter !what else may be expected of it, come to be regarded as rather dazzling vehicle ' for the glorification” or display of feminine beauty. Yet this show is a garnished presentation of masculine talent, en- ertaining, bubbling even, and at times exceptional, but, for all that, mascu- line. Since the success that may be at- tributed to the National's Vanities »sts upon them, record should be made here of what these men do. julius Tannen, in an assortment of lever costumes, and a versatile ver- ze, in the role of announcer and out the evening, was Jne of those persons an audience gets to know and to look forward to with -eal anticipation. Cahallero, torendor, monologist or faker, Tannen was all he should have been and perhaps a little more.

And the “Two Black Crows” are in this show When one has seen Charles Mack and George Moran sitting on the rock pile in prison denim, and has heard Mr. Mack drawl through his lines in a way that makes the au- dience as a whole want to loll down in its seat, lazy-like, one is more than ready to sit through anything that may follow in anticipation of their locomotive scene in the second act. And they’d be rewarded, too. These gentlemen are masters of their art, imitating none and introducing much. As relief in the stretches between the entertaining masculine oases, there were gleams of dancing, singing and showgirls that seemed something more than mere mirages. Among those re- onsible for this relief was Maxine Stone, whose dancing was a delight. Isabelle Mohr sang well, notably “In the Twilight” and later in duet with Brian McDonald. Mozell Ranson, who was “Miss Dallas” in the 1927 beauty pageant, gave the presentation its chief claim to lovely femininity. In the heralded “Silver Chandelier” and “The Mirror of Vanities” tha colorful gorgeousness gave way to confusing concoctions which came dangerously near to tawdriness. A more successful scene of the spectacu- larly intended group was found in “Climbing the Ladder of Love,” in which color and design were harmoni- ous counterparts. On the wholé, the show as presented last night is well deserving of its two and a half hours, aside from the chorus and scenery, because of the scenes and skits in which the Two Black Crows, Julius Tanney and ous thought of armed conflict with uch people?” Calles sprang to his feet, kis face ming with pleasure and extended is hand to Morrow, The Ambassador rose and grasped it.

Because of the fact'that Christmas falls on Sunday this year, it is -espe: eclally important that early shipment of Christmas packages be made by the Jublic, it was stated today by als of the Merchants and Manufac rs’ Association. This point is emphasized in a letter to the Merchants and Manufacturers’ Association from C.“#. Frame, super- intendent of the Express Co. of this stated: “We are plagfiing to clean up our Christmas d by Saturday night, December we know how keen is the disal i senders of holiday packages and the reciplents as well, especially where Johnny Dooley appear. KEITH'S — Waybwrn’s Promenaders. A pretentious revue, under the title of “Ned Wayburn’s Promenaders,” is headlining a good program at Keith's this week, ‘the opening performances notwith- Numer- ous tabloid revues have come from New York, but their chief attraction was the dancing end of the production. This time Mr. Wayburn has added vocalists who can sing well and as a result one of the most satisfactory hits of the season was registered. The costumes, while not elaborate, - are pretty and the scenic effects quite convincing. Peggy Hanlon is the lead- ing soprano, her splendid voice put- ting over several dance numbers most effectively. John Byam sings opposite there are children, if gifts from outof |." . town do not arrive on time. We In- tend to do our part in. making it a merry Christmas.” By proper packing and careful and accurate addressing of holiday ship- ments, Mr. Frame points out, much delay in delivery can be avoided. ‘When a shipment is started right its prompt handling and delivery is prac- tically assured, he said. The meed for glving the full street name and num- :fir in addresses, particularly when ipments are going-‘td corisignees in large cities, Mr. Frame cited as an im- portant factor to be considered in the “marking” of gift packages. - Battlefields to Be Topie.

THEATERS Miss Hanlon, his strong baritone voice blending nicely with that of the other. The dancing stars, Shirley Richards and the team of Blanche and Elliott, compare favorably with the best that have appeared at this popular house, the acrobatic stunts of Blanche and high kicking of Miss Richards gain- ing_almost continued applause. The added attraction is Duci De Kerekjarto, the royal violinist vir- tuoso who made such a_pronounced hit here last season. He has been all over the world since last here and knocked off some of his manerisms that brought forth smiles, but he still maintains his high standard of ex- cellence and remains one of the big- gest favorites in vaudeville. He had difficulty in getting away last night, but finally begged off with a neat specch of thanks. Frank Wilson opened the program with a graceful and intricate bicycle act. The Hearst brothers, two clever youngsters from the farm of Gus Fd- wards, had little trouble singing their way into the good graces of the audi- ence, as the second offering. Then followed Paul Decker in an amusing sketch entitled “Liars All” in which some tall fibbing was placed on dis- play. Ernest Hiatt had a somewhat rough monologue, but he managed to make good through sheer earnestness alone. El Brendel and Flo Bert pre- sented their old Swedish act, but they have improved it wonderfully through Miss Bert’s good singing and Brendel's roughhouse work. His dialect can al- ways be depended upon for a laugh. Two wonderful acrobats, the Rubio sis- ters, just over from Europe, closed the regnlar program in good style, their head and hand balancing hordering on the marvelous. The regular house at- tractions completed the attractive bill. a1 EARLE—Libby Dancers. An interesting and varied bill of vaudeville and pictures rewarded those who braved the elements yes- terday and visited the Earle Theater. The vaudeville is headlined by the Libby Dancers in “Sports a la Mode,” a pretentious dance act presented in six different scenes. The dancing, by eight young ladies and one young man, wins much applause. Probably the best number of the act is the “Adagio Dance” of Eileen. Other pleasing numbers are “Old-time Sports Girls” and “Aesop’s Fables In Person.” Dunbar’s Collegians in “Beats and After Beats” receives second honors with ‘their presentation of songs, dances and music. These nine boys keep things going with their good singing and dancing, and then to end things up present some instru- mental music. Their imitation of the circus band is especially good. The dancer, La Belle Pola, assisted by the jungle band and Kiki, offer something original in the dance line. From the antics of Pola, one can imagine where the ‘“black bottom" originated. Stella Tracey and Jay Elwood, musical comedy stars, offer songs, in an_act entitled, “Bits of Broadway.” Lottie Bolles and Harry Levan present an interval of fun with witty remarks and comic songs. The photoplay attraction for the week is “Almost Human,” with Vera Reynolds and Kenneth Thompson in the leading roles. The story is adapt- ed from “The Bar Sinister,” by Rich- ard Harding Davis. Three well school- ed canine players take leading parts. It is an interesting story and one that should appeal to all dog lovers. The remainder of the bill is com- posed of the regular house short- reel features, music by Floyd Wheel- ers’ Earle Orchestra and Alexander Aron, concert organist. GAYETY—“Here We Are.” Ed. E. Dalley’'s “Here We Are” is the burlesque attraction at the Gay- ety Theater this week. The presenta- tion consists of 36 scenes and several musical numbers. The scene “The Courtroom” is a travesty on court proceedings which keeps the entire audience in an uproar throughout. In fact, comedy domi- nates the entire performance. Jack Lamont, a comedian, and Bill Tanner, dialect funster, heading the forces, as- sisted by Frank O'Rourke, Midgie Gib- bons, soubrette; Jyes La Rue, dra- matic soprano and prima donna, and Patricia Burns are the stars of the cast. The chorus includes 24 pretty girls in vividly colore® costumes, with stage settings to match. The show is one of the big attractions of the bur- lesque “wheel.” STRAND—“Girls From the Follies.” In the new Mutual Burlesque at- traetion, “Girls From the Follies,” at the Strand Theater, Gladys “Youth” Clark heads the big cast, and, besides | w ome” blonde, i8 an accom- dancer and clarinet soloist Sally Blake also pleases with sensa- tional dances. Fred “Falls” Binder, Bob Snyder and Jack Quinlan are the principal comedians, responsible for many comedy scenes. Popular song hits well received include “Lindbergh,” “Magnolia” and others. There is a chorus of 16 girls up to the Mutual standard in every particular. PALACE—“The Thirteenth Hour.” Loew’s Palace yesterday began its new program with special house numbers in addition to the regular picture and concert offerings. _Sev- eral very good numbers are offered, but easily the hit of the whole pro- gram was the mystery picture, “The Thirteenth Hour,” starring Lionel Barrymore. Eriefly, the story is based on modern crime in'a new light, with a strange, mysterious character running through to provide interest, suspense and thrills for the audience. This man of mystery is followed throughout the picture by the shadow of a murder he is supposed to have committed. CIi- maxing the picture after a serles of thrilling events, this gentleman un- known is captured and his identity re- vealed by a young detective and his German police dog. Both the sleuth and his dog win the admiration of the audience. The picture is thrilling, it is very entertaining,-and what more can be expected? Supporting Barrymore are Charles Delaney, Jacquelin Gadsdon, Fred Kelsey, Polly Moran and the dog, Na- poleon. Attractions on the stage include Bemis and Brown in the “Rah Rah” surprise; Jerry Waller, who does well in banjo numbers; elght very attrac- tive dancers, known as the Palace Rockets, and the Ballet Caprice, which is very funny. The stage program is unusually entertaining and is added to greatly by the music of the Palace Syncopators, with Jack Waller, sister of Jerry, as master of ceremonies. The special orchestral production, “Peer Gynt Suite,” with a god cast of singers and dancers, went well with the audience. The Metro-Goldwin-Mayer news reel and Aesop’s Fables complete a bill well worth seeing. RIALTO—"She’s a Sheik.” The Rialto has a bill brimful of good entertainment this week, suffi- ciently light to provide two hours of merry diversion. There is an excep- tionally good feature picture, a sprightly stage presentation, a com- edy with plenty of laughs and some fine music by Rox Rommell's or- chestra, Bebe Daniels is featured in “She's a Sheik,” the latest flight into the fantastic by this charming little lady. In this picture Miss Daniels might be termed a ludicrous combination of the late Valentino and of Douglas Fairbanks. There have been nwny editions of the “Sheik” story since the original photoplay made feminine Hearts beat fast, but it has remained for Paramount to give us a sheik of the fair sex, and to endow her with all the romantic dash of the pro- totype. “She’s a Sheik” is a travesty on life being plished The Very Newest Idea American Indian Silk Prints Designs Created by Artists and Students of Indian Basketry and Pottery The subtle mystery of the Indian is wo- ven into every yard of these exquisite silks. The signs and symbols of Western tribes artistically worked into the textile art. If one looks carefully one might discover the Indians Tepee—the war bonnet or even the ceremonious masks of the various tribes. The vogue for these silks is established —and assured. They make frocks of dis- tinction—interest and beauty-—and bewitch- ing pajamas and negligees. New—different. $4.50 yd. Third Floor—Lansburgh & Bro. Lansburgh & Bro. TRIBE 7th to 8th to B Silks—Third Floor CHERO E £ KEE TRIB in the sand dunes of the Sahara, in which the setting of desert life with French and Arab soldiery are up- roariously burlesqued. Bebe Daniels is cast as Zaida, adopted daughter of an Arab sheik friendly to the French. As she is of Spanish birth and a Christian, he bids her choose a hus- band from among a group of French officers. This she does, selecting a handsome young officer played by Richard Arien. But he doesn’t think so much of the idea, having already a sweetheart. Then begins the female “shelking” episode. All Zaida does is to kidnap him, transport him to her desert palace and set out to make him love her. Of course, this thread of plot provides many ludicrous sit- uations, which have been expleited to the fullest extent as laugh-producers. There is a deal of good comedy pro- vided by two young Americans who are vandering through the Sahara wastes as movie photographers, and by Wil- liam Powell, who is the butt of most of the comedy, in his role as Kada, desert rebel leader. Some good sword play is exhibited in an encounter be- tween Kada and Zaida, in which Miss Daniels reveals herself quite adept at the art of fencing. “Wise-cracks” are flashed in the subtitles, and pro- ducers are evidently depending more and more on these subtitles to help bring the laughs. The stage presentation introduces La Bernica and company in a number of varied dances, ranging from the graceful steps of crinoline days to the “Black Bottom” of the modern jazz age. There is also a “Collegians” comedy, news reel and a travel film, which _completes a highly entertain- ing bill. FOX—“Pajamas.” Entertainment of a high order is offered at the Fox Theater this week. The feature. photoplay, bearing the delusive title, “Pajamas,” stars Olive Borden and depicts a high-spirited young woman finding *love and dis- cipline in the Canadian wilderness. Lively Blossom Seeley and Benny Fields allure the audience with music, dancing and song. Karyl Norman, known to theatergoers as “The Creole Fashion Plate,” keeps the house mys- tified as to whether “it's a man or a women,” but.he entertains with lilting melodies and gowns that women envy. Muriel La France, soprano and protege of Galli Curci, delights with her singing of “Gianina Mia.” The Fox Symphony Orchestra renders selections from the operetta, *“The Firefly,” and the movietone illustrates current news. The photoplay is a story of a mil- lionaire's daughter, who takes her father’s business friend back to his native Canada in an airplane, only to have the “ship” lose a wing, forcing the pair to take to parachutes. They land in the Canadian Rockies and there, far from _the comforts of civilization to which thie girl has been so accustomed, ill-feeling, first engen- dered in the Unoted States during an auto brush, comes into full play. The wealthy young timber magnate spanks the girl, but later, friendship blossoms into love. In the meantime, her father and his searching party locate their camp, and all ends well. The picture strains at credulity in spots, particularly where there is a conver- sation between the man and girl in a plane and again when they chat as their parachutes are descending to earth. There is a refreshing dash of humor in the picture and the filming nfotlhe Northland scenes is especially good. METROPOLITAN—“The Girl in the Pullman.” Comedy of the lightest type and charming Marie Prevost make “The Girl in_the Pullman” a laughing suc- cess. Filled with humor, some new and some ancient, this farcial romance may be called a “howling success.” Harrison Ford, as a young nerve specialist, thought he had divorced himself from the winsome Marie. He becomes engaged to a jealous blonde, Kathryn McGuire, who has previously deserted her eccentric flance, the comical Franklin Pangborn. The 3 4 CROW TRIBE MONDAY, DECEMBER 5, 19217. young doctor and his intended bride, accompanied by the typical mother-in- law, start on a honeymoon to Cali- fornia. Marie and her lawyer also board the train to prevent the mar- riage until her divorce becomes valid. The simple lover also makes the trip to forget his former fiancee. This group, augmented by the pres- ence of the “drinking demon,” Harry Myers, encounter many embarrassing situations. During the mix-up, their car becomes detached from the train and runs wild down the mountain. All ends happily as the husband is re- united with his wife and the intended bride returns to her lover. Selections from the musical comedy “Wildflower,” played by the Metro- politan Symphony Orchestra, directed by Daniel Breeskin, is above the av- erage house musical presentation. ..ews events and novelty short reels are added screne attractions. COLUMBIA—"Sorrell and Son.” Herbert Brenon has achieved a re- sult in the current feature at the Columbia Theater which promises to add much to his reputation as a di- rector, For some reason, although for years he has been well enough known In the film trade, the words “Herbert Brenon” called up little re- membrance in the minds of most casual theatergoers. A number of recent productions, however, -have placed him in the front rank. “Sorrell and Son,” a great novel in its book form, is as great a picture, and most of it depends upon the mag- nificent direction. The audiences which packed the Columbia Saturday and yesterday seemed almost unani- mous in this decision. H. B. Warner, in the principal role, gives a subtle interpretation of the character that must go over the heads of many, and perhaps much of it went over all of us. Nils Asther seems to be a new name, but another picture or two like this one and it will be familiar enough. Anna Q. Nilsson is a mother again. The picture, which heads the bill, is sufficient for any one and there is a feeling of getting something for nothing when the short subjects come on. The comedy and news reel, although minimized in print, are worth a place on the program and provide genuine entertainment. The house orchestra is up to its usual high standard. LITTLE THEATER—“Moon of Israel.” “Moon of Israel,” the elaborate film story of biblical days in old Egypt, which drew enthusiastic’fans for “bet- ter pictures” last week at the Little Theater, is held over for a second week to be shown through Friday of this week. The production was made in France and on the Nile with a cast of French film players headed by Maria Corda, who will shortly make her American film debut in the film version of “Helen of Troy,” and Arlette Marchal, already seen in several American pro- ductions. ‘The picture was built upon the story by Sir H. Rider Haggard which deals with the glorious days of the over- throw of the Pharaoh domination by the children of Israel and the title is that of the leading character, a beau- tiful Isrealite slave girl called ‘“‘Moon of Israel,” whose love for Seti, an Egyptian prince, brings down the wrath of her own people and Pharaoh. The production is made on an enor- mous and elaborate scale and is said to be as near authentic in detail to historic lore as months of careful re- search and study of ancient times could make it. An interesting program of short subjects and the Little Theater Trio complete an excellent bill. TIVOLI—“Chang.” Crandall’s Tivoli Theater the first two days of this week is presenting that unusual photoplay entertain- ment, “Chang,” which has been her- alded and already appraised by d criminating Washingtonians as an achievement of the first rank in cine- matography. “Star casts,” “inspired directors” and the other customary commodities of the screen upon which film plays ordinarily rely for pre- eminence are swept aside by this gripping study of a subject that has not had a counterpart upon the sil- ver sheet. The supplementary fea- tures embrace a new “Our Gang” com- edy, “Bringing Home the Turkey,” n:d‘ a late release of “Screen Snap- shots.” AMBASSADOR—“The Girl in the Pullman.” At Crandall's Ambassador Theater the features the first three days of S 801 11th R R R R R R RERERREERBBDErEEEE————————=——————— the week are identical with those of the Metropolitan on_Saturday.

Lupino Lane is seen in a new two-reel comedy, “Some Scout.” CENTRAL—“In a Moment of Temp- tation.” Three interesting features are shown at Crandall's Central Theater the first two days of this week, the foremost, “In a_Moment of Tempta. tion,” showing Charlotte Stevens; the others, a new two-reel Mermaid come- dy, “Queens Wild,” and a natural eol. or subject, “On the Trail of a Rang er,” with beautiful Western locales.
