Stebbins, whose stage produc- tions at the Fox Theater have won the admiration of Washington during the speriod he has been magaing director of the showhouse, this week makes his bow before leaving for Detroit to take over the management of a Fox theater there.

Intrigue, ad- venture, the customary sun-crazed mu- tiny of men against a hard leader in | the desert wastes, are combined to | form a plot reminiscent of “Beau Geste,” though less original in treat- ment. But the story behind the story | the hidden tragedy which has separated father and son, to draw them together again by the strangest of coincidences— adds the touch which gives the pro- | duction its individuality. No one could better have plaved the role of the man of honor with a blemish on his escutcheon, about which honor enforces silence, than Lewis Stone, and he carries it off with a magnifirent gesture is & woman of the Kipling V. type. played convineingly by Mary June Marlow is charming as he little sister whose lovalty frankness are in sharp contrast to the cheracter of the beautiful but con- scienceless Sylvia A sand storm, usual photography, noteworthy fashion A melodramatic sketch, “The Lash gives the Vitaphone artists an oppor- tunity to demonstrate the co-ordination of sound and motion which the audible films have attained.

Raymond Hatton and Wallace Beery, master comedians, rattle along their irresponsible way, spreading | merriment in their wake, at the Colum- bia this week in “The Big Killing." It is all about a family feud in the rks—and a couple of “hicks" mis- aken for F s, members of one of the feuding clans. In all innocence, the pair of fake sharpshooters, who had been doing their act in a sideshow at the fair are led into the middle of a [e fracas that makes their memories of | France scem like the Elyssian Fields.

Furs are very important...but this is the story of flares! s0 Straight Slimness is achieved in the most un- usual manner by flares. Some- times the flares are just out- and-out circular insert but more often they are intricately cut and a flare suddenly ap- pears at one side. Then there are loose panels that flap and flare...and tunics that have a circular hem and fur edge... or deep tuck tunics that flare. Besides all that there are tuck- mgs that just look like a flare but really do not flare at all!
