OPENING ATTRACTIONS IN WASHINGTON THEATERS (Continued From Twenty-second Page.) kling dialogue which kept Anne_ Nichol's | stage audiences in gales of laughter. | But this is off-set by the inimitable | performance of the cxcalient cast, in- | cluding Jean Hersholt as Soloman Levy, whose masterful _interpretation cal forth tears and laughier at his will; Charles “Buddy” Rogers as Abie. dainty Nancy Carroll as Roscmary, Bernard Gorcey and Ida Kramer, who make a_ludicrous combination as “the Cohens”; J. Farrell MacDonald in the role of Patrick Murphy, and others equally well cast | Miss Carroll's rendition of “Rose-| " theme song of the play, is one of the high spots. This, and the prayer for the dead chanted by Solomon Levy are the two sound features of the film The volces register well. nary LITTLE THFTATE —“Youthful Ecstas; A highly emotional drama emphasized in spirit and detail, pre ing Camilla Horn of “The Tempest” and “Faust” in her first star role, holds place on this week’s program at e Theater. The film, produced Serman UFA studios, Is entitled and_concerns the llusion of the younger over- nt- | follies and d generation. One unusual and remarkably handled phase of the story is the corollary drama | of the ants and grasshoppers, prototypes of the humans in the piay, and better ctors by far than their biologic uperiors. . | Standard types and situations, the| sort that American audiences are accus tomed to seeing since the term ‘flapper” | was brought into use, add no originality 10 “Youthful Ecstasy.” The villainies 2nd heroisms here are no different from those of most former “younger genera- | tion” films; there is much heaving of | excited bosoms and hanging of guilty | all so overacted as to leave no| doubt that excitement and! me are in the air. There is a forged ote, an erring son, a broken father, & good girl and a giddy gl and a| Candida-like situation in which the girl| is told by the hero and the villain “you | must choose between us": after hx | choice, dramatic logic is satisfied by a|; fist-fight. To complete the sentiment | and index the whole spirit of the piece, | two subtitles announce for the heedless | oung people that “Life is beautiful and | Wwe are young” and “Let us dance and | forget.” The same sort of thing was| flashed on American screens years ago. | In addition to Miss Horn, the princi- pals in the cast include Gustav Froelich and Warwick Ward, whose interpreta- tion is, by far, the best of the lot. An old-time comedy of Harold Lloyd's, | with Bebe Daniels as the leading lady: a technicolor treatment of the Cinderella theme and newsreels complete the cur- rent bill. NEWMAN—"The Garden of Allah.” E. M. Newman opened his twent(eth“ season here yesterday afternoon at the National Theater with a travel talk, in| which “The Garden of Allah” was de- scribed and pictured at new angles. In acknowledgment, perhaps, of the clos- ing of the second decade of the lec- turer's yearly visit, or more probably be- | cause of the always historic value and art interest of his travel talks, Mr. Newman yesterday was greeted by an | audience of Ziegfeld proportions, | which was added a welcome of spon- taneous applause. “The G‘;Edcn of Allah” is no longer the restricted paradise of fiction. Prog- vess has elbowed its way into the Sahara to such an extent that motor roads cross hitherto trackless sand, and | Juxurious hotels share the ancient well and palm of the African oases. Mod- ern-town facilities at Biskra and other places deep hidden in the desert, has so Tevolutionized travel that transportation has been made secure, where only a few years ago no American or Euro- peans was safe. The travel lecturer, like Alexander, has no more worlds to conquer, but it has been proved that descriptions and pictures of special points of interest in countries already seen, either by tourist travel or theater-seat route, a charm that even surpasses the hitherto more general but less intimate studies of nations and their belongings. Arriving at Tangiers the tour reached out, as a beginning, to Marrakech, “the remarkable,” where astonishing con- trasts of primitive Moors and their gnake charming and gorgeous hotels give thrilling realization of life in that far section of earth. The Jewish quar- ter shows racial claim to the section, in that each figure bears the patriarchal face and figure of the men of the Old Testament, and ‘then come phases of life “as seen only in Morocco,” where the shops are like shallow boxes with the tops off. When business closes the tops are fastened on. At Fez, the an- clent capital, the trip included a “never-to-be-forgotten . motion tour through its narrow streets, crowds and life. It is where Jews have lived for 2,000 years.” With the Algerians in an old, old city, there is a reminder of Paris. A ramble around shows where the governor lives in sumptuous rooms, and there is a place of rock and water and caged walls where wild monkeys | give able duplication of the motherhood of the female who cares for her nursing baby while hunting her own food. Farther east into Kabyle land, and through a succession of scenes that in- clude the “Defile of Death” and Con- stantine, and its wonderful gorge, the way leads to another tribute to the marvelous art and industry of old Rome, in the ruins of a city built by Trajan, where graceful columns still stand in- vincibly erect in defiance of time. At the oasis of Bou Saada there is a glimpse of “the Ouled Nails” and desert, dances—and, for a last view, there Is the “Garden of Allah,” as illustrated in the Hichens' story, ending with a hark back to the old-time desert *“where there are only space and sky and the colors painted by nature.” Mr. Newman's travel talk -for. next Sunday will be * i MR. SHURE'S NEW ORGAN SUITE. “Prom Yonder Chapel” an organ suite in five movements, the latest pro- duction of R. Dean Shure, Washington composer, was given its premiere last night at the Mount Vernon Place M. E. Church South by Mr. Shure. It will be found a welcome and valuable addition 1o the literature of the organ. The five movements represent inci- dents in the life of the church organist and will provide appropriate music for the five types of service pictured. The suite opens with a stately wedding d is followed by “Fount of n for use during the bap- service which has been | if not entirely, over-| | tismal serv almost _entirel looked in the | “Altar Tears,” the third movement, | is for use during the communion serv- | i ically, it is a quiet, simple| work, with a series of short, half-step | runs, typifying the falling tears of penitence and sorrow which intermin- gle at the altar rail. It is an effective movement, with a deep restrained poignancy. The fourth sketch, “Divine Adora- tion,” has all the serenity of one who has a great and abiding faith. The sketch opens with a quiet theme de- picting the pleas for pardon and strength, then broadens out to a con- fident note of a ation. (rTnE final movement, “Lament of Twi- light,” completes the cycle and brings out the funeral march, partly orthodox, but mainly written from an entirely new viewpoint. A few broad opening chords typify the ma =ity of death, and then the muffied tread of the approaching procession, with accompanying chimes, They {manded punishment for this ance in God's mercy | e and ends on a humble note of conse-| I PER middle portion of the “lament” at times | is almost bright in eolor lacking en- tirely the mournfulness predominating music of this type.

This work gives promise of being one | of the most available for church use of eny that Mr. Shure has written, MAUD JEFFRIES HURT. Former Actress Reported Seriously Injured in Australia, LONDON, January 21 (#).—A dis- patch from Sydney, New South Wale: said that the retired American actress, Maud Jeffries, now Mrs. Osborne, wife of an Australian wool dealer, was seri- ously injured yesterday in an automo- bile collision near Narcoma, Southern South Wales, Maud Jeffries, harn in Mississippi December 14, 1869, made her first stage appearance at Daily's Theater, New York, in 1889. She played small parts for a year and then was engaged by Wilson Barrett, making her first ap- pearance on the London stage in 1890 as Lydia in “The People’s Idol.” Sub- sequently she played leading roles with Mr. Barrett in England and Australia. She married and retired from the stage | in 1906. ERUPTIONS INCREASE. Island Volcano Hurls Lava From 2,000 to 4,000 Feet in Air. | BATAVIA, Javana, January 21 (#).— The island voleano Krakatao, which has been in violent eruption recently, is reported showing increasing in- tensity. The visible eruptions rose from nearly’ 4.000 on Saturday to nearly 7,000 during the past 24 hours. At least a hundred times yesterday burning material was hurled higher than 2,000 feet, and one eruption reached about 4,000. Continuous tre- mors are felt at sea in the neighbor- hood of the Isolated and uninhabited island.
