POLI'S—“The Silent House.” Every one knows, or by this time should know, that if a beastly butler, a few Chinese, a salvo of revolver shots and about a tablespoonful of trapdoors or sliding panels are mixed well and shaken thoroughly in a dark room there will result a first rate mystery play. with gleaming knives, plercing screams, lethal chambers, poisonous reptiles and torture cabinets, garnished with at least a million dollars’ worth of miss- ing securities, valuable papers and a jewel stolen from an Orlental idol, there's food provided for an evening's thought at the theater. This formula has been used to advantage in dishing up the mystery thriller, “The Silent House.” a melodrama in four acts, showing this week at Poli's Theater. The play is written by John G. Brandon and George Pickett, staged by Carl Hunt and presented to the palpitating public by Lee Shubert. Now every good mystery play should have at least one good mystery. “The Silent House” provides several. One that is outstanding is why nobody thought to call Scotland Yard to the assistance of the troubled souls con- cerned. At least two husky policemen could have done wonders, right in the first act, to maintain law and order. There should have been one bungling sergeant of detectives, and possibly a very stupid patrolman. But the police in this play are conspicuous by their absence, and it is not until the final curtain is lowered that thc audience is assured—though the thing is never definitely proved—that some of the mis- creants have been apprehended and placed behind the bars, where they as- suredly belong. But if the police had been called in there might not have been so many other nice mysteries for the audience to fail to solve. And it is great fun trying to solve them. Just as one reaches the point of a discerning solu- tion somebody gets killed or shot at or poisoned or something, and one forgets all about the mystery. ‘Its “no fair” telling what these mysteries are all about. Suffice it to say &’hn they are deep and wicked enough enable any- body to pass a pleasant hair-raising evening. The cast is small and knows its busi~ ness. Stanley Harrison as Benson the butler (the inevitable butler) succeeds in being a very bad egg Indeed, and John Nicholson as Dr. Chan-Fu is tre- mendously convincing as a Chinese mystic worthy of higher things. Ver- non Kelso and Arthur Treacher as the two traditional Englishmen, one of them a hero and the other very dumb, are good and Kathleen Robinson is charm- ing as a combination of Ophelia and a lady in distress. Allen Atwell suc- Chiness race by making Niant o vy e by m elf a vi likable Ho Fang.. . o SHUBERT BELASCO—“The Trial of Mary Dugan.” The gripping interest of the criminal court is second to none. In “The Trial of Mary Dugan,” which opened last night at the Shubert Belasco Theater for the week, the author, Bayard Veil- ler, has capitalized to the full on the avidity with which the public attends and reads murder trials, particularly those involving women. The audience becomes at once the spectators and the jury before which this dramatic fight for the life of a woman is waged.. By a clever device the continuity of the feeling that the auditors are at- tending a real trial is maintained. On the stage is the courtroom setting, with the judge's bench, the witness chair, the cage from which the prisoners are brought to trial, the seats and desks for court attendants and the attorneys, the press and, beyond the usual court- room rail, the tators, who from time to e audible comment, only to be rapped to order and threat- ened by the court. falls on this setting. termissions between the acts the court- room is constantly on view. Court at- tendants, policemen and the like wan- der back and forth on the s . The actors enter silently, or with whispered comment to one another.

The district at- torney holds the woman up to scorn, a woman who has lived as the mistress of a married man. There is the clash of attorneys, with both sides scoring in this life and death game, Finally the wife of the murdered man takes the witness stand, a witness for the pros- ecution. Counsel for the defense waves c;lou-exzmmnt'l::niu At t'?"h:y point things begin ppen. come with a rush that holds the audience— the jury in effect—sitting on the edge of its chairs. There is not the slight- est doubt that “The Trial of Mary Dugan” appeals to the emotions of the crowd. A sordid story, but a gripping one, with a redeeming feature, which turns th2 sympathies to the woman on trial for her life. The author has taken a chorus beau- ty for his principal character. Other ladies of the chorus appear as witnesses. Finger-print experts, J)ho(oflflphs of the murder scene and all the other usual factors in a modern crime inves- tigation are laid before the audience. The entire trial is concentrated within the three acts. The play is admirably cast. It has its moments of comedy relief. But al- ways there is the serious possibility of a death sentence. Mary Dugan is played by Ethel Intropidi, ‘quite natur- ally and with good sense of dramatic values. King Calder, who is cast as Jimmy, Mary’s young . brother, and, who conducts the defense, stands out with a compelling characterization. So does Majorie Dalton, who plays Mrs, Edgard Rice, widow of the murdered man. . STRAND—“Bare Facts.” Manager Howard Burkhart is celebrat- ing his initial week in his new charge. the Strand Theater, with an aggrega- tion of burlesque talent labeled, “Bare Facts,” which rather fairly describes the entertainment, although this is suppelmented with good comedy by Jos Yule, assisted by Charlie Cole, and a merm of songs and dances that is ikely to appeal to the burlesque patrons. The feminine contingent includes Ollie Nelson, Jeanne Stelle, Patricia Burns and Ruth Posen, each contribut- ing to the breezy and attractive action of the aggregation, which, however, makes its chief hit with a choral en- semble that lacks neither in good voices nor the quality known to the profes- sion as ginger to make it an outstand- ing feature. FOX—“Napoleon’s Barber.” ‘While other big producers were rush- ing in to make all-talking pictures, Wil- liam Fox held back, viewed the situa- tion, realized revolutionary potentiali- ties and finally produced a spoken film drama which has the virtue of being the first to actually say something. He took the excellent short story of Arthur Caeser, called “Napoleon’s ~Barber,” peopled it not with big names but with capable players, had John Ford direct it, and what was accomplished is being shown at his Washington Theater prior to its New York opening at Roxy's. It is approximately only half as long as the usual feature picture, but what it lackes in quantity it counters with in quality, combining good acting, syn- chronization and photography. There are, of course, no subtitles or musical accompaniment, the effectiveness de- pending on dramatic dialogue and natu- N soungs. Napoleon is portrayed by Otto Mat- tieson, who bears a striking resemblance to the “Little Corporal,” and his char- acterization is commendably subtle, smooth and restrained. The name role is handled by Frank Reicher, who .is OPENING ATTRACTIONS IN WASHINGTON THEATERS And if the concoction is seasoned to taste | In! naturally m‘mll court, with the entry of the| g \ THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1928, typically French and convincing, while Helen Ware aand Phillippe De Lacy are cast as the barber’s wife and son. All of them speak unaffectedly and with clear enunciation. This film is probably the most significant yet made as far as influencing future screen productions, and for that reason alone bears watch- g. ‘The stage presentation, “Jazz Revels,” lavishly set with a playing fountain, majestic columns, blue sky and white clouds, offers among otters a trio, Ayres, Malinoff and Rasche, in some of the best adagio seen in Washington recent- ly. The Fox Tillerettes continue to up- hold the tradition behind their name for fine precision dancing. Dorothy Neville sings with an exceptional colora- tura soprano, Estelle Fraters sings a litle and tap dances the rest of the time, Tyler Mason, blackface singing comedian, jokes along between songs; Johnny Special makes his_harmonica do tricks and the Stanley-Burns team goes in for some fast and unusual ra; dancing. Clark and McCullough are more hilarious than ever in their talking short, “The Bath BEetween.” Carmel Myers assists them. The Fox Orchestra pays tribute to the memory af Franz Schubert by playing an original ar- rangement of several of his composi- tions, including the “Erlking” and por- tions of the “Unfinished Symphony."” Samuel Korman, concert master, adds immeasurably to the musical nari of the bill with a solo of one of Hubay's brilliant works. A Movietone news reel shows King George and Queen Mary on their way through a typical English fog to open Parliament and shots from the Army-Notre Dame foot ball game. METROPOLITAN—“The Home Towners.’ The speaking stage is reproduced so naturally in the latest all-talking pic- ture, “The Home Towners,” at the : Metropolitan Theater, with stage talent including Richard Bennett, Doris Ken- yon and Robert McWade in the leading parts, as to make the illusion almost perfect. Robert McWade, who played the part of P. H. Bancroft of South Bend, Ind., in George M. Cohan’s Broad- way success, continues in that character on the screen, and his well trained voice carries distinctly to all parts of the house. In fact, all the voices reg- ister well and the stage charm is un- interrupted by sub-titles. The friendship between Bancroft and Vic Arnold is a Damon and Pythias affair. ~ Arnold also_was born and brought up in South Bend, but he fol- lowed Dame Fortune to higher fields and s now well established in business in New York City. He is engaged to marry a charming young lady. Beth Calhoun, and wants his old pal present at the ceremony as best man. P. arrives alone, as his wife stopped over Albany for the day, and the chums are having a wonderful get-together meeting. The cup that cheers finally stirs up deeper emotions and Bancroft becomes suspicious of the fiancee and of all her family. He voices his distrust in a sarcastic, abusive manner. Feeling runs hgh and Arnold in a fit of anger slaps ‘his friend’s face. He is imme- diately apologetic, but to no purpose, for Bancroft takes his bags and goes to a hotel. After a sleepless night, his temper is still sketchy and an exciting time for all ‘follows, breaking up the wedding, disrupting business and asfnngfng friendships. The strained situation continues and Wally Calhoun tells him that it is because of his small town mind he regards all successful people in the big city as crooks. Ban- croft later becomes convinced that the girl 1s not marrying his friend for his money, that her brother Wally is worth the salary he is receiving and that the parents are not trying to flimflam any one, s0 he maneuvers to bring about peace, harmony and reconciliation. The music blends in with the old familiar tune “Comrades.” In the Pathe sound news the audience hears an account of the recent ocean disaster as experienced by one of the survivors; the 770-foot Zeppelin is pic- tured arriving in Berlin to the “Hoch Eckener” of the crowd; and the U. S. 8. Maryland in the process of overhaul- ing in preparation for.the President- elect’s trip to South America. The lent movie presents Charley Chase in & Hal Roach comedy. PALACE—“The Baftle of the Sexes.” Jean Hersholt, Belle Bennett, Phyllis Haver, Don Alvarado and Sally O'Neill —with this combination of cinemic talent one naturally expects much, and the applause indicates that expecta- tions are fulfilled. At first a happy family celebrates mother’s (Belle Bennet) birthday with gifts and merry- making. Father (Jean Hersholt) can well afford to be lavish with his gifts for he has just made a quarter of a million dollars in a business deal. Mother makes a wish the future will be like the present, but the refusal of the birthday candles to blow out fore- tell the denial of her wish. But near- by a comely blonde, a part admirably played by Phyllis Haver, establishes her campaign headquarters apd with the aid of her lieutenant, Con Alvarado, she skillfully plans to besiege the heart and pocketbook of the wealthy husband and father. Her attack is worked out in fine detail on the screen, and as the invisible orchestra plays “That's My Weakness Now,” Phyllis preys first upon Judson’s manly desire to protect all womankind and then upon his unmanly appetite for flattery until he shames his children, breakes his wife’s heart and makes a ludicrously pathetic clown of himself. Here Mr. Hersholt displays his usual abllity for high-class comedy, and although Miss Bennett does not have the same opportunity to demonstrate her versatility of talent as in some of her other pictures, she easily enlists the sympathies of her audience in her Don’t Broadcast COLDS Protect others!

A few surprisss are offered in the denouement which go over with uriquestioned success. 5 The elaborate stage” program, “Volcano,” planned by Paul Oscard, is quite out of the ordinary for gorgeousness of settings, costumes and entertaining talent. Wesley Eddy, in a naval officer’s uniform, and an act by Ted aud Jack Dale in sailor's garb, the costumes of the Palace Syncopators and of the Foster Girls suggest a trip to Hawaii. Gil Wray, tenor, sings “The Road to Mandalay’ in splendid voice; Frank Melino and company get a good many laughs in their olown act: Gogo de Lys, “blues singer,” scores a hit and the Foster Girls do a totem pole dance which is a pleasant departure frem the conventional ballet number. Other musical numbers are “Carillon Louvain, with organ and chimes, violin, guitar and _clarinet trio, and a vocal rendition of the feature's theme song, “Rose in the Bud,” by an unannounced soprano. An M-G-M short subject, “Lonely Lapland,” is highly commend- able for its educational value and for the high quality of its photography.

After many years the paternal instinct grows strong in the old janitor's breast and he has his son educated at Princeton, all the while concealing his identity. The rest of the picture shows how the poor old father throws away his own bottle of hair tonic and saves his son from drink. The incidents build up to a climax; the son calls the old man “Pop,” amd the paternal urge is satisfied. From Ufa comes another of those distinguished short-subjects, this one dealing with the wonders of the Swiss Alps. A Hal Roach comedy about two sailors out on a wrecking party is tull of fun. Selections from “Blossom Time™ are played by the orchestra in com- memoration of the Schubert centennial, RIALTO—“The Scarlet Lady.” “The Scarlet Lady,” featuring Lya de Putti, Don_ Alvarado and Warner Oland, at the Rialto this week, is the typical Russian story.

Seldom has the screen shown such ex- quisite scenes, or so interesting and in- timate a view of the life-and habits of the “lost tribes” of the Southern Pacific.

LITTLE—“The Kreutzer Sonata.” There is a feature picture at the Little Theater this week which, while it is commendable, in many respects, falls short of what might b2 expected of a film based on such a work as Tolstol’s novel ¢f the same nar:c. The picture follews the trend of the novel closely enough, but tpparently, through inadequate direction, falls a little short. This undoubtedly is an advantage in that it saves sensitive nerves a great deal, but the heart of the book is its tragic realism and the Russo-German fllm being shown here this week cannot be said to be as thor- oughly realistic as others from the same source. the selection of the characters is superb, but the manner of presentation appears somewhat archaic. All in all. the main film is good as a study and one could philosophize on marriage the rest of the week with the material contained in it, but as entertainment it is not the choicest. This photoplay is essentially European, Eastern Eu- ropean, in its motivations. One who comes of an Irish, English or French culture would find it difficult to un- derstand the sensations of the players. Western ideas of marriage and social life are somewhat different from those portrayed in this picture. It empha- sizes the fact that Russia, in_addition to being the most eastern European nation, Is also the most western of the Orlentals. The comedy is a good one. It is pure unadulterated comedy and cannot be beat for its superb foolishness. There is also an Interesting but rather long (film of tne annual seel hunt staged ier tne adventurers of Labrador. -It What Woman Doesn’t Crepe de Chi.ne - Gowns $2.95 Lovely gowns in rainbow col- ors, with square fagotted yokes, hemstitched Vee necks and strap styles with fancy lace yokes.
