OPENING ATTRACTIONS IN WASHINGTON THEATERS Continued from Thirtieth Page.) problem than ever, and one-that a score of “movie endings” will not clear up. ‘This story won a contest several years back, and it deals with the love affairs between a soclety deb and her chauf- feur. Of course, after the two marry and the bills start rolling in the story really begins, proceeds to a rather log- ical conclusion, and then snaps on an ending that if not improbable is cer- tainly unpsychological. However, the picture, especially in the earlier part, has color and variety, with really *“smart” modernistic sets and unusual glimpses of the Harlem night clubs. Also, Dorothy Mackaill is quite pleasing, although she retains her traditional right to look ¥mannish,” for a shot or two, anyway. And in the sequences, where the star herself puts on her dancing act, that's enough to ex- cuse the dull moments which the picture does have. A clever Vitaphone comedy of bridge “post-mortems,” a Victor Herbert med- ley by the orchestra and a good news reel are also included this week. But the real feature of the bill is little Davy Lee’s trailer for his new picture “Sonny Boy,” which, it is safe to prophesy, will “pack 'em in" next week, handkerchiefs and all. PALACE—“The Duke Steps Out.” One wonders about William Haines what one wondered about Jackie Coogan: What's to become of him when he grows up? We have had now a succession of these ebulllent, wise- cracking characterizations such as he gives in “The Duke Steps Out” at the Palace this week, but mortal fear grips ;he heart in anticipation of Willle’s ate. However, since Haines must honestly be admitted to be in the hey-day of his youth, it must also be admitted that “The Duke Steps Out” will not cost him any popularity.. Sunday’s opening audience at the Palace broke into applause time and again. For its type, the effervescent irrepressible Wil- liam Haines type, it is thoroughly good movie: the role suits Haines perfectly. Joan Crawford, playing opposite, is & provocative co-ed. The camera keeps well centered, and wisely, upon these two, telling its story pretty directly. Duke Wellington, light-heavyweight contender, goes to Sierra College for the sole purpose of being near Sue Sunshine and Clover and the skill of 71 Years are all combined in Bordens Corbin, whom he has seen and fallen in love with on a train. Though his Ere!elslcn is kept a strict secret (he is nown as plain Jimmy Smith, albelt with a handsome car_and the nicest house on “High Hat Row”), his fistic talents serve him well in a tight pinch one night and he saves Sue consider- able embarrassment, getting a gash over the eye which later almost costs him the championship. Believing that Jimmy is engaged to an_actress, Sue refuses to see the boy. Fired by bit- terness, Duke goes at the champlonship in earnest and wins it. His identity becomes known over the radio to which Sue and the gang back at college are listening. The use of audibility here makes the fight sequences of “The Duke Steps Out” about as effective as any stretch of movie that can be remem- bered for a good while. Anyhow, Duke is forgiven, Sue is forgiven—anti-climax clinch fadeout. “The Duke Steps Out” is rather apt to get a lot of word-of-mouth boosting this week. It is the sort of picture that “appeals.” Wesley Eddy, back from a rest, seems bursting with life and sings an appro- priate song to celebrate the resumption of his duties with the stage units at the Palace. This week’s is full of color and action, based on the Cowboy-cow- girl motif and is good entertainment. Jean Boydell, comedienne and eccen- tric dancer, and Bud Carlell, trick ropester, take the cream of popularity. Marie White, toe dancer; Ossman and Schepp, banjoists; the Bachelor Four, the inevitable quartét; the Gould-Sorel Girls, routine coryphees, and the Palace Syncopators all add their particular shades, tones and colors to “The Rain- bow Trail.” - LITTLE THEATE] Sister.” 1In the evolution of the movies during their silent period several pictures have towered above the grouped “society,” “thriller,” “flaming youth” type of thing, flung into “block bookings” by the score and have suryived, at least in memory, the advént of more grandiose, more exciting emotion and technique. One need mention only a few. “The Birth of a Nation"” was per- haps the first; then such as “Quo Vadis” and “Ben Hur” and “The Miracle Man” and “Tol'able David,” working on up to the later spectacles like “The Big Para and “The “The White brought to you in all its original purity &7 all its double- rich cream of Bagdad,” to mention two of different type. One of these “milestones” is showing this week at the Little Theater. 1t is “The White Sister,” with Lillian Gish and Ronald Colman. Revivals are always interesting. Mostly they show the extent to which we have progressed beyond the original and to some extent where we have failed to progress. “The White Sister,” as viewed now, is technically scarcely a remarkable product. There is a large number of fabricated scenes, a good deal of the long arm of coincidence, s0 popular in earlier movies, a lot of standard emotionalism, old-fashioned costumes, static and unpliable acting— all of this, but in addition, a spiritual content that is, and must remain, great. Even if one notices much that has become hackneyed since the film was produced, much that appears stale amid the newer wonders of the motion ictures, he can recognize clearly that t has the quality which sustains any artistic effort through the year: cerity. It is the ultimate test of all a: In addition to the main feature, Little Theater offers news reels and other Max Davidson comedy. WE PAY o every pay day.

The State Department droj inter- national affairs for a brief time toduy to deal with the case of a Chinese- speaking parrot in the Philippines, The Secretary of State, Henry L. Stimson, ordered cablegrams dispatched ordering that “The Old Soak,” the Secre- tary's parrot while he was governor general of the Philippines, be sent to the State Department with the great- est possible speed. “The Old Soak” speaks no English and just what he says in Chinese no one here knows, but it was of such a noisy nature that Mrs. Stimson lald down the rule before leaving Manila that “The Old Soak” would not be a member of the Secre- tary’s party in coming to Washington. Early today, however, a letter from a friend of the Secretary in the Philip- pines, revealed that “The Old Soak” was lonely; that he no longer whistles when visitors eall at govvernor general's residence. He no longer climbs from a person’s toes to his shoulders, a favorite trick taught him by Mr. Stimson, Secretary Stimson was so touched by the létter that he immediately cabled orders that the parrot be sent to Wash- ington. Just where “The Old Soak” will live here is not known. If Mrs. Stimson holds firm to her ruling that he cannot be a member of the Stimson household, he may take up his quarters in the office of the Secretary of State. It is known, however, that Mrs. Hoover has offered Secretary Stimson free room and board in the luxury of the White House for “The Old Soak,” if other quarters are found to be unsuitable. —_— Nearly 50 girl pupils have entered the new chess class at a Fukham, England, Big Bunches Fresh 66 : b} Asparagus Delicious, Tender Green Stalks ‘Large public school. for all coog pur- poses made by the oldest and largest milk company in are sold at all groc and departme: 1, Large Bunch, 15c¢Ea.
