For here is a picture that is original, written directly for the screen, which takes for its theme an ngle of the industry heretofore seen very little of—namely, the hazardous undertakings of that crew known as news reel men. The film opens with several mem orable “shots” such s President Cool awarding a medal of honor to ndbergh, then revolves into a love story between Newsreel Nick, played by Nick Stuari, and Sally Wellington (Sally Phipps), that provides the seem- ingly essential fictional touch. Miss Phipps _has little to do other than to look charming. which genially assumes the most important role and with equal geniality walks off | with all the acting honors. Earle Foxe | as the mysterious stranger and Brandon Jurst as the “curse of the cameramen” ore adequate in support of the stars. The outdoor “shots,” which include a Winter scene at Lake Placid and sunn: views of Palm Beach and of Havan: Cuba. at the height of the season, are colorful and well photographed. On _the stage the revue, “Syncopa- tion Prolic.” presided over by an In- visible master of ceremonies. who. during proceedings. warbles that doleful but still popular “Ramona,” shows with telling effect the versatility of the house | orchestra, transformed for the moment it is said his condition is improved.

Jack Pepper, the genial, jolly master | of ceremonies at the Earle for seve months, is making his farewell appear- ance this week, to the regret of many admirers who wish him well in what- | ever venture he contemplates. Ac- companied by Joe Bonbreast he sang “Girl of My Dreams” and other songs by request. His offering on the stage “In Hawaii," is made quite realistic by a background showing the famous vol- cano, Mauna Loa, the beach at We kiki with a glimpse of rippling wate, a quartet of Hawaiians, with leis around their necks, playing guitars, and a na- tive girl dancing the “Hula Hula." One can enjoy this tropical scenery quite comfortably on the hottest day at the Earle Theater without a palm leaf fan. Roy Chaney entertains with a manda- rin song, encores with “A Bouquet of Memories” and chimes in with Patricia O'Dare in “Out of the Sky"; Murry Parker broadcasts exclusively to the audience: Ruff and Rumble pull some rough stuff. and Bemis and Brown dance a comical “Sailor's Hornpipe.” The revue ends with the ballet of eight Walkiki maidens.
