LITTLE THEATER—"The Sea Beast.” John Barrymore, at the peak of his career, is seen in “The Sea Beast,” the | screen version of the novel “Moby | Dick,” at the Little Theater this week. In Lis interpretation of the charac- ter of Ahab Creeley, the youthful whaler who was shorn of youth, grace and, almost, his faith in womankind by & jealcus mistress, the Sea, gaining in return only revenge—the younger Barrymore calls forth the very essence of that superb flame of talent which burns alike in all the members of this family of dramatic artists. To see him | 33 suffer the agonies of soul and of body that were Ahab’s. is to have seen one of the great bits of screen acting. And in sharp contrast, comes that second crest in the wave of his powerful emo- | tional portrayal, a scene in which a | serenity of spirit in his hour of su- | preme loneliness transcends the mortal. | Nor does the production find its | n the performance of Barry- It is a masterplece of film art, from the love scenes amid the tropical splendor of a remote port of | call to the grim battle between men | and beast on the high seas, when Moby Dick, the giant whale of a thousand terrifying legends, is harpooned in the wake of a most realistically screened | water spout which all but wrecks the whaling schooner captained by the half-mad Ahab. Additional features include the usual news reel, a Paramount feature show- ing the recent swimming marathon in Canada, some views of the giant Eng- irigible soon to be completed, memorial services to the explorer, | Amundsen, and his mates, and a Hal Roach comedy of ancient vintage fea- turing Harold Lloyd in the carefree days of his extreme youth, when he ! for love of demure young things wl ruffied skirts fairly swept the ground. | COLUMBIA—“The Mysterious Lady.” The popularity of Greta Garbo and Conrad Nagel as screen lovers serves | to draw capacity crowds to Columbia | ‘Theater to see “The Mysterious Lady,” | held over for another week. Tania Fedorova, one of Russia’s clev-| erest spies, appears to be an exponent | of “Gentlemen Prefer Blonds,” for she | seems 1o have the mysterious power of | captivating whom she will, which is a | powerful asset in her business, until her | own heart betrays her into a real love | for her victim, which complicates mat- | ters to an alarming extent Capt. Karl von Raden, an Austrian officer, who is commissioned to carry | papers of value, meets the enchantress | on the train, and, having been warned by his uncle, Erie, chief of secret service, of her mission, denounces her and spurns her love, Which then turns to hate The story is one of human drama enacted amid sumptucus surroundings high social environment, gayety and intrigue. Conrad Nagel, who sporis a mustache in this picture, makes a very good appearance in the smart uniform of an Austrian officer and Miss Garbo | does some particularly effective acting in her efforts to deliver her lover and herself fr the deadly influence of 5 Boris Alexandrovich, chief of | esplonage. | A medley of songs of the !ou:hemi States, by James A Pitzpatrick, is played by the Columbia Concert Or- | ly Southern days shows flocks of flocks of birds a glimpse of | Tunney visiting se-up of a Bengal Success With Your Fall Painting HOUSE ment of & ROOF wve offer PAINTS. “puco” For ; G Call on us for FURNITURE. | estimates FLOOR | you the WAX & VARNISHES PAIN 1334 New York Ave.—Phone M. 1703 perience —_1 Prices Specially Low Hugh Reilly Co. the Universal Air Lines system will | start operation September 8 between | New York and Minneapolis, cutting one | day from the present time required for | the journey, Thomas Hamilton. presi- | dent of the Hamilton Metal Plane Co., announced today. | The transfer from train and to plane | will be made at Cleveland. | Shipbuilding in Norway is being re- vived after years of stagnation.
