According to its brief preface, it aims to deliver the great | message to all the people of the earth. Such an undertaking, gigantic in scope and worthy in purpose, required au- thenticity of script. intelligent direction and inspired acting, all of which are In marked evidence. In keeping with the dignified tenor of the feature film. is the classical pro- gram offered by the choir, in a simple but beautiful setting. The singers, in | colorful garb, limit themselves to oper- atic selections which they do in solo and group numbers. During portions of the showing of “The King of Kings” the vocalisis, unseen, add fo its effec- tiveness by appropriate numbers, the “Hallelujah Chorus” of Handel, in par- ticuler. Aside from the insertion of se old’ hymns, the score accompar the picture, and play ¢ the aug- mented orchestra under the direction | of C. Frederick Clark. is excellent | STRAND—Burlesque. | Hinda Wassau and her Hindu Belles are this week’s burlesque attraction at | the Strand Theater. The show, a piece | in 2 acts and 16 -cenes, “presenting timely topics and bappenings of the | day,” according to the program, is the work of James Stanton, who is respon- | sible for the staging, and Sam Lewis, | | actor. legger!” the smack of the lover's Kiss| overthrow and terror. | | once scorned and for whose downfall | she was responsible. | birth swept away in the gale of the in Central Park, the night club master of ceremonies and the music of the Biltmore Hotel Orchestra are all so realistic that one imagines himself in New York rather than sitting in a Washington theater. The plot is a familiar old one—two (or rather three in this case) young persons going to the city to escape the monotony of small town le, failure in business, falling in with bad company and barely escaping death or ruin, the lecture by more experienced ones to go back home and the fade-out of the train whizzing back with the hero and the heroine to “the trees and the flowers and the mountains.” Cullen Landis and Eugene Pallette appear as Eddy Morgan and Gene, the barber in Eddy's small town hotel, who are trapped by two confidence men into buying a barber shop in New York, which is really a storage place for Hawk Miller's (Wheeler Oakman) Old Cen- tury. Without intention of slighting Cullen Landis, whose impersonation is highly commendable, Pallette’s char- acterization of the barber is so realistic as to make one wonder if perhaps he were not a barber before becoming an Helene Costello is cast as Kitty Lewis, Eddy's sweetheart, who has come to New York and succeeded (?) cabaret. Gladys Brockwell does excel- lent work as Molly Thompson, Hawk’s | companion: her voice carries well and her histrionics are convincing. Mary Carr is cast as Mrs. Morgan, Robert Elliott as Detective Crosby, and Tom Dugan, Tom McGuire, Guy D'Ennery, Walter Percival and Jere Delaney also appear in the picture. Completing the program are an excel- lent news reel and two Vitaphone short subjects, Beniamino Gigli, tenor of the | of as | night club entertainer in Hawk Miller's | Haupt. Boris de Fas is sinister and fanatical in a difficult role. “Tempest” is the story of the Russian revolution and its sweeping torrent of Caught in its teeth, a haughty young princess finds herself humbled before a peasant she ‘The conflict of tempest, the two stand as equals and the situation affords emotional possibil- ities which are realized to the fullest The whole thing is superbly wrought, like a symphony, with its theme subtly announced in the opening measures, diverting itself into gay rondos. and finally reaching its peak in a climax sweeping power, combining the themes of love and revolution, to a glorious finale. The sets are magnificent; the direc- tion masterful. “Tempest” s a cinema achievement of real worth. Particularly well chosen is the orchestral score, with a love theme that is haunting. “The Eagle’s Nest,” a Ufa novelty, in | | which an Alpine lad displays his marks- | manship, and a news reel. in which President Coolidge does the same, com- | plete the bill. METROPOLITAN—"Forgotten Faces." A melodrama of the underworld, “Forgotten Faces.” new currept at the Metropolitan Theater, shows the sej ration of a family—one to go her care less way, one to go to prison and the baby to grow up happily in a new home. The principal characters are represent- ed by “familiar faces,” Clive Brooks, Mary Brian and the Russian artist, Baclanova, who appeared in “The Miracle” and in “Streets of Sin.” As usual, Brooks plays the suave un- ruffied character with appealing mo- ments, which makes his motives seem sincere even though his mode of life is questionable. The smooth, polished ex- terior, however, covers deep feelings and a certain code of honor which, ap- bringing about reunion of a disrupted | family. Walter Futter's “Curiosities”—a mer- ry-go-round restaurant in Cincinnati, | Ohio; a bear-dog in Alaska, a kitchen band, and the News Reel complete the program. PALACE—“The Cardboard Lover.” | A new pace in stagecraft is being | set by the Palace Theater, which offers i(his week Marion Davies in “The Card- | board Lover.” a hilarious comedy, and features Wesley Eddy and the Palace Syncopators in a colorful and charm- ing production, “Parisian Nights.” | “Standing Room Only” seems to be | the order of the occasion, for the pop- ular Maroin Davies excels in her im- personation of an American “co-ed” on | tour in Monte Carlo. This ambiticus and energetic miss decides that she is going to get an autograph from a fa- | mous French tennis star, but discovers, | in the process, that his fiancee is carry- ing on a side flirtation with a noted baritone. The tennis star discovers the | worst for himself and makes a deal with the *“‘co- to be his “cardboard {lover” to make the vacillating brunctte [truer and more tried. The humorous | situations that are the epilogue of this arrangement are fun enough for an evening's entertainment. In the long run Marion exemplifies that now time- | worn slogan of the day, “Gentlemen | prefer blondes,” for she completely vanquishes the brunette in the affec- tions of the tennis star, even if she does have an emphatic time doing it. The Williams Sisters draw much ap- plause from the audiegce with their eccentric dancing and singing, as part of the stage production. Glimpses of peerless Paris afford opportunity for many a clever “turn,” for there is the dance of death, the band box dance, scenes reminiscent of “Over There” and an unusual presentation by a couple of clowns of a love affair between two THE GREAT ) @ Fresh Fruits and ATLANTIC & PACIE] Every Pricels co. —on the items sold at the A&P.

But to say that John Barrymore at the height of his career is almost out- witted by a lovely young actress at the beginning her’s, is little short of aston- Yet Camilla Horn, the leading lady, young, charming, and beautiful reveals a dramatic power and an emo- tional capacity that is arresting. Her first American picture, with only one German ‘triumph—as Marguerite in “Faust”—to her credit, Fraulein Horn proves to be the sensation of the recent foreign invasion. Hers is an amazing loveliness coupled with a genuine his- trionic sense, a Vilma Banky repose and a Pola Negri fire. Here is indeed a promise of great things. But the brilliant performance of the two principals fails to dim the abZities of the rest of the cast. There is a ribald humorous bit by Louis Wolheim, |In a sudden rage he shoots his wife's paramour, then, realizing his own pre- dicament, his whole concern centers on the future of his little daughter. So before giving himself up to the police | he leaves the baby on the doorstep of the Dean home, recently bereaved by the loss of a child, and swears “Froggy™ to a secret guardianship over her. The long, gray years in prison are bright- ened by stolen snapshots of the child in the various stages from babyhood to debutante. When he learns that his wife by a trick has forced the secret from “Froggy” he determines on one more act to safeguard his daughter from her mother, and getting paroled as a trusty becomes a butler in the Deane household. The wife who had rejoiced in his imprisonment, had taunted and jeered at him and goaded him to a frenzy while the bars con- fined him, later is distracted with fear and terror at the mere scent of heliotrope as though by an actual pres- ence. A tragic climax ensues. ‘Two special Vitaphone features pre. sent Jack Benny in “Bright Momen LITTLE THEATER—"Peter the Cor- sair.” Paul Richter, who table success in the ro@ of Siegfried in in another Ufa production, “Peter the Corsair.” The film is a colorful presentation of the doings of the legendary pirate, Whether fighting, feasting, drinking or loving, Peter can always be relied upon to be a lively fellow and Richter is well able to handle the part. the settings, especially the one of the courtyard of the old castle, in which a great deal of the action takes place. The star is surrounded by an adequate com- pany.

It would be hard to choose between Miss Gaynor and Farrell in the convincing internre- tation of their colorful roles. Each lives the part assigned and that tells the story. To describe the many superb scenes which feature “Street Angel” would be to describe almost every foot of the film, for it all breathes the spirit of | Naples under blue Italian skies—pic- turesque. sordid, care-free Naples. One scene, though. stands out above the others for its effectiveness—that of the water front at night with a billowing fog wrapping itself about the ugliness, leaving only a romantic outline of mast and shadowy sail, with here and there a light glowing through. A vitaphone accompaniment is used effectively, carrying through the haunt- g‘g melody of the theme-song, “Angelia i Owing to the length of the film, the usual stage features have been omitted, with the ceception of an atmospheric introduction to the picture, featuring the tenor soloist, Eric Titus, with Dorothea Palmer dressed as Angela, to complete the picture.

EARLE—“The Lights of New York.” ‘With “The Lights of New York,” Vita- phone's first all-talking moving picture, as the feature, the Earle Theater this week inaugurates its new policy of dis- pensing with vaudeville to show pictures exclusively. “To talk or not to talk?>” It looks as if the verdict will be “to talk.” In “The Lights of New York,” many of the dia- logue defects so pronounced in .earlier sound pictures are absent. With one | possible exception, the voices are clearly | understood, registering the different emotions and receiving the same re- sponse from the audience as in the sub- title or silent picture, or with the flesh- and-blood actor on the stage.
