THE FEVENING -STAR, WASHINGTON, OPENING ATTRACTIONS IN WASHINGTON THEATERS (Continued from Page Nineteen.) gllded bars a cage” might well be the theme of the picture, for we find the regeneration of the Jewish gangster, Benny Horowitz, beginning in the long lonesome period of contemplation with- in the confines of prison walls, and he listens with respect to the philosophy cellence could be maintained consist- ently, the metallic synchronized accom- paniments, now so much in vogue, might find real opposition to their on- ward march. In his latest effort Mr. Bafthelmess lays aside character roles to become es- sentially the lover, with the John Gil- bert technique, and overcomes a weak D.

Love triumphs over hatred and bitterness in the end; & roud princess answers the call of her gun and the social abyss is spanned in the union of the pair, giving a rather idealistic ending to a strong drama otherwise dominated by realism. Camilla Horn is charming as the princess, while Louis Wolheim adds a light note in his portrayal of the faith- ful sergeant who loved his Ivan (the handsome dragoon hero) better than his rank.

Just Arrive enNew Sty les letters from his mother (Vera Gordon) strengthen his resolve to abandon "his old life when he becomes free, and when that day arrives he is joyfully welcomed home by his mother and the faithful ~old-fashioned Jewish girl, Bertha, who would make such a good wife and daughter-in-law, but Bertha will not marry Benny without his love which, God help him, belongs to the nightclub girl who dragged him to his ruin! Through his jealousy over her he nearly killed Duke Roma, and his alibi didn't fool the detective who thomu[i}fly examines the engine and tires of his car. Benny fights the in- fluences of the “gang” and Frieda, but finally succumbs and the resulting tragedy clarifies the situation and he and Frieda both resolve to live on a higher plane. On a_gorgeously decorated stage, Wesley Eddy presents the salient at- tractions of the “High Hat Club,” be- ginning with the twelve Gamby Hale girls, who dance a number of variety dances and appear in various attrac- tive costumes including high hafs. Ginger Rogers of Washington fame “does her stuff” in her usual enter- taining manner. Sally is one of the hey-hey girls in the club and her old uncle wants her to come home, but in trying to reform Sally he becomes a whoopee boy. This part is played by Art Frank to the vast enjoyment of the audience. The songs are “Sally Is Coming Home,” “We Can't Live on Your Imagination” and “That's All I Wanted to Know.” Some interesting features in the M- G-M news and Fox Movietone show Hoover's welcome home by President Coolidge and wife and a few thousand others; an address by Rabbi Wise on the Jewish New Year (5689); Hal Tweedy of radio fame playing a tune with a skillet, washboard and other kitchen utensils, the last bullfight of the season at San Sebastian and a fine review of the West Pointers. The Palace Orchestra, conducted by Harry Borjes, gave a midperformance recital, METROPOLITAN—“Out of the Ruins.” particularly in its rendition of the score for the feature picture, “Out of the Ruins,” with Richard Barthelmess as the star. If such a standard of ex- sult is a film that drags perceptibly dur- ing the first part, but which takes a sudden turn to finish with a dramatic flourish. It is interspersed with high moments of tense situations and very good acting. The star is surrounded with able support, the performances of Robert Frazer and Marion Nixon being par- ticularly well defined and convincing. Bodil Rosing, who is remembered for her fine work in “Wheel of Chance,” another Barthelmess picture, has very little to do, considering her known talents. The war sequences, showing the front line trenches under fire, are well photo- graphed and always, fortunately, kept from reaching a spectacular scale, which most movies of this type revel in. Those who hope to see Paris, which is sup- posed to furnish the major locale of the film, will be disappointed, for the few outside “shots” that are shown could very easily have been taken at the First National studio. However, the picture is interesting and certainly good entertainment. ‘Two Vitaphone presentations, featur- ing Winnie Lightner in songs and Wil- liam Demarest in one of those unhappy husband acts, along with a silent com- edy and newsreel, furnish the sub- sidiaries. ‘To top off the bill, Conductor Bree- skin leads his musicians through selec- tions from Victor Herbert operettas as the overture. COLUMBIA—*The Tempest.” John Barrymore has proved so popu- lar in his latest picture, “The Tempest,” that it is being held over for a second week at Loew’s Columbia Theater. Russia is the scene of his latest ac- tivities, and a realistic picture of war- torn Russia of revolutionary days is presented, with Barrymore, a burning flame of tempestuous love and bitter- ness, as the central figure around which the story revolves. It is the tale of a “peasant-born” dragon elevated to the position of lieutenant #nd aspiring to the love of a princess, #ith the inevit- tables are turned and the daring peas- ant, who had been reduced to the ranks and solitary confinement as a re- ward for his aspirations, suddenly finds Her Mother taught her the secret INVARIABLY when she had guests in to tea, the conversation swung to her delicious sandwiches. “T'vealways liked to make attractive The delicious bread that won Wash- ington 30 years ago is the favorite . stances; the usual M-G-M news flashes, and an appropriate musical program by the Columbia Orchestra. LITTLE THEATER—“Dawn.” After seeing “Dawn,” the British pic- ture based on the life of Edith Cavell, the nurse who was shot by the Ger- mans as a spy during the war, one is forced to wonder what all the opposi- tion to the photoplay as & menace to peace was based upon. Certainly there is nothing in the pic- ture which would tend to incite undue hatred toward the people of a former enemy nation. If propaganda for any- thing, it is for peace rather than for war, for no stronger instance of the horrors of war than the Cavell case could be put. forth. Presented at the Little Theater yes- terday, where it will run through the week, the photoplay attracted large audiences. Sybil Thorndyke plays the leading role and the characterization of the heroic woman who died with words of forgiveness for her slayers is truly remarkable. As to the filming of the picture, one is' inclined to agreement with George Bernard Shaw's characterization of it as a “work of art.” It is realistic and yet one is spared the somewhat gory scenes which have been shown in some of the recent war pictures by directors a little overzealous in striving for stark realism. The story is free from romantic fabrication, confining itself apparently to the facts in the Cavell case. Special cgre has been taken, it is claimed, to re- construct the events pictured according to the account of eyewitnesses. The action is smooth and graceful, the continuity without jars, making in all. an exquisite drama. . Former Florida Official Dead. PASSAIC, N.
