RIALTO—"Show Boat.” “Show Boat,” Carl Laemmle’s Movie- tone pictorial pageant based on Edna Ferber's novel and Florenz Ziegfeld's stage production, comes into port for an “international premiere” at the gala Teopening of the Rialto tomorrow night. The debut of this elaborate combina- tion screen version of the Ferber story, with its sgngs and music, aialogue and e Ziegfeld's extravaganza, promises to be quite a brilliant affair. ‘The list of seat reservations is said to contain the names of many persons prominent in governmental, diplomatic and social circles. Many notables of the screen and stage also will attend the opening in person, including Carl Laemmle, president of the Universal Pictures Corporation; Florenz Ziegfeld, the famous producer of the stage suc- cess; Billie Burke, one of the foremost stars of the legitimate stage, and Helen Morgan, star of the play now running on Broadway. The “Show Boat” music of Jerome Kern is ranked among the most char- acteristic music ever written Jor a dra- matic musical stage entertainment, and it is said by those who have been privi- leged to witness a preview of the pic- ture to be splendidly fitted for the screen production. Helen Morgan, Jules Bledsoe and Aunt Jemima sing in the picture the song which made them famous, and the audience will both see and hear Helen Morgan singing “Bill” and “Can’t Help Loving That Man,” Jules Bledsoe sing- ing “Old Man River” and Aunt Jemima and the Ziegfeld Plantation Singers rendering “Hey, Feller” and “Come On, Folks.” For the premiere performance tomor- row night all seats may be reserved in advance, as only one performance will be given, starting promptly at 8:30 p.m. For succeeding ys and during the entire run of the picture, after the open- ing night, the performances will be con- tinuous from 2 until 11 p.m,, with the popular prices prevailing. The picture, it is announced, will be & forerunner of a series of super-special | gist, tomorrow evening. This afternoon and evening. This afternoon and evening. This afternoon and evening.

John Irving Fisher, master of ceremonies, will officlate, and new dance routines w;l‘lel be offered by the “Gorgeous Fox- ettes.” EARLE—“His Captive Woman.” The exotic beauty of the South Seas is brought to the screen in vivid man- ner in First National's Vitaphone pic- ture, “His Captive Woman,” this week'’s major screen offering at the Earle Theater. Adapted from the Donn Byrne story, “Changeling,” the story has its locale in the night clubs of New York and on the dreamy islands of the South Seas. It is a George Fitzmaurice production in which Dor- othy Mackaill and Milton Sills, whose voices triumphed in the test in “The Barker,” are co-featured. The company spent many weeks on the more remote islands of the Hawaiian group, with only natives playing in the support of the feature players. ‘The story deals with a jazz-mad New York girl, who, in a fit of temper, kills an admirer and flees to the South Seas on the yacht of another man. She is pursued by a New York policeman, and the adventures of the two on a desert island in the Pacific, when ship- wrecked, make a highly dramatic story and culminates in a memorable court- room scene. Miss Mackaill is cast as the girl and Sills as the policeman. The supporting cast includes Marion Byron, George Fawcett, Sidney Bracey, Frank Reicher and Gertrude Howard.

After seeing the thi fifth prescniation of the show he knows everybody's lines, and so, when one actor is obliged to leave, he takes the part, and the comedy that follows is hilarious and original. His troubles range from wrecking the set on the stage when he tries to act to shipping aboard a rum runner and being rescued at sea in a storm, with the ship afire. The stage unit elso provides laughs for the laugh program.

Featured in the unit is Sammy Cohen, the doughboy comic of “What Price Glory?” fame, in per- son; the Stone Vernon Foursome, sei tional adagio dancers; Maxine Hamil ton, the personality princess, and th Dave Gould Girls. The Fox Movietone News, the M-G-M News, short subjects, a comeady of note, Charles Gaige at the | organ and the Palace Orchestra, under Harry Borjes, complets the program. FOX—"Speakeasy.” After a three weeks’ stay at the Roxy Theater, New York, “Speakeasy” is now being shown at the local Fox Theater announced as the first picture to re produce the actual sounds of Manhat- tan, in an all-talking production, ac-| tuaily taken in New York City, in the subways, on the elevated railways and | in theaters, cabarets, “speakeasies” and | within the Madison Square Garden. “Speakeasy” 1s a slice of life as lived in the biggest town in the world. Ten thousand fight-crazed enthusiasts are heard cheering; as also the monoto- nous ery of the “candy butchers,” and in the Grand Central Station. the hustle and bustle of that great railway terminal. Through the film runs an absorbing story, presented by a cast the two principal players of which, Lola Lane and Paul Page, were recruited from the | spoken stage. It also brings to the| talking_screen the first appearance of Henry B. Walthall. “Whoopee Week,” as the current period is entitled, will mark the advent of the Forty Jazzmanians, the Fox Grand Orchestra transplanted to _the n D! ¢ ;«*/"‘[fgnr{aN OF 57, ‘AGOR the newly appointed | | the minds of all who love baffling mys- | teries.

Paramount has made one of these best sellers, the widely heralded "The Canary Murder Case,” into an all- Y | talking picture with William Powell in the role of Philo Vance. Many consider “The Canary Murder Case” the most thrilling and mystifying of the Van Dine series. ‘There will be presented also an edu- cational talking comedy, “Ask Dad,” which features Edward Everett Horton, the popular comedian, and the latest |issue of Pathe Sound News. COLUMBIA—“The Broadway Melody.” “The Broadway Melody,” Metro- Goldwyn - Mayer's talking, singing, dancing dramatic sensation, start- |ed on its fourth record-breaking week at_Loew’s Columbia. ‘The picture is an expose of back |stage life and features Bessie Love, Charles King and Anita Page to get into a Broadway production. After much trouble they secure a part through the efforts of the younger and better looking sister. The friend of the older sister falls in love with the younger, -although he does not want to admit it. The younger sis- ter does what she can to discourage him, but when the older sister senses the situation she goes back to the small time broken hearted but carrying on. The picture embraces everything from the silent picture to a Broadway usical production, especially in one cene which is produced in color. | LITTLE THEATER— Ten Days That Shook the World.” “Ten Days That Shook the World,” epic drama of the overthrow of the Ke- rensky provisional government in Rus- sia in 1917, is having its premiere showing in Washington at the Liitle Theater, on Ninth street, under the au- spices of the Washington Film Arts Guild, with exhibitions this afternoon and evening. “Ten Days” was directed by S. M. Eisenstein, director of “Potemkin,” and more than 120,000 Soviet workers were employed as extras in the production. Imperial statues removed by the new government were replaced for use in the picture. John Reed, American journalist, fur- nished, by his book, the title for the letest Sovkino production, which follows in historical detail every turn in the fortunes of the Russian people in the days that followed Brest-Litovsk. Regimental uniforms, discarded when the Czar's armed forces became the | troops of the Soviet republic, were once more seen upon the streets during the filming of “Ten Days” and whole sec- tions of Petrograd were closed to traffic while Eisenstein directed the move- ments of the army of extras, who, under his commands, participated once more in the stirring events leading up to the fall of the provisional government.

Film Daily states that “Syncopation,” the RKO talking picture, has estab- lished a precedent at the New York Hippodrome with its showing switched to the policy of talkers and presenta- tions after years of operation as a com- bination house. It is estimated that 133,000 people saw it, prompting the management to hold it over for a sec- ond week. Gov. Moody of Texas vetoed a bill to) permit the operation of theaters on Sunday because, he stated, he believed it to be illegal, inasmuch as the bill would have legalized Sunday shows throughout the State, but would give each municipality the right by ordi- nance to bar them. Silent films set the styles in cloth- ing and influenced American customs in living, and the audible pictures are going to do the same thing with talk- ing fashions, according to a recent statement_in the press attributed to Jesse L, Lasky, who added, it is re- ported, “I look for better English and clearer enunciation as the result of dialogue films.” Further, he is also credited with saying: “If all of our pop- ular stars let their hair grow long, they could end the bobbed hair vogue in short order. Slipshod speech modes can be influenced in the same manner.” In brief, it would seem the movie influence is all powerful.” Production at Paramount’s Long Is- land studio is said to be set for 15 all- talking pictures a year, and, with the bulk of the company’s short subject pro- duction now concentrated at this plant, about 100 shorts are scheduled for the current year. Most of the scoring of Paramount pictures will be done at the Eastern studio. Charles King is to be starred by Metm-Go\dwyn!-MayPr in “Lord Byron |of Broadway,” based on the story by | Neil Martin.

In the present day and generation we have the modern flapper, who has been well exploited by several leading woman . And about this attractive and unusually interesting little lady has hovered the mystic term “It,” first ap- plied by no less an authority than the equally interesting Mme. Elinor Glyn, who has proclaiimed to the world at large that she who fails in this enig- matic something peculiar to femininity is lacking in that which is most of in- terest to the male of the species. Back in the days when the Sir J. M. Barrie first made his mark in English literature, there was the same idea, al though Barrie, along with the rest of his day, called this vague, indefinite appeal, 8o indispensable to reigning beauties, by another term. It is “It” with Mme. Glyn, but it was “charm” with Barrie, and he described it some- Next Week's Photoplays. PALACE — Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer’s “The Voice of the City,” a talking mystery picture.

Here, then, are two different slants on the one big desideratum of feminin- ity, for it will be admitted that woman, in every age and in every clime, has ever sought to know precisely what will make her most atiractive to man. From the Zulu belle to Lulu Belle the quest has ever remained the same. Barrie's idea is beautifully developed in the character of Maggie Wylie in “What Every Woman Knows,” and he is said to have fashioned that character after his own mother. It is one of the | really great and beautiful characters of | literature, an ideal of woman for all time that once met can never be for- gotten.

James P. Judge, the author, in this play, undertakes to show how a crook can be a crook and still be square, which seems, off-hand, a para- dox. In the working out of his play, however, Mr. Judge overturns many accepted theories of conduct and makes heroes out of two young fellows who had once been crooks, and he does up- set the old adage that “Once a crook, always a crook.” “Square Crooks” is basically a com- edy. Although the title might indicate otherwise. It is finely balanced in its combination of thrills and merriment, and is almost a blending of melodrama and comedy, with comedy as the dom- inant element. It concerns two young men, formerly classed as crooks, but who' are going straight. One is ma; ried, the other in love. A detective, constantly on their trail, causes them much embarrassment. When a valu- able string of pearls is stolen from a home where one of the men works as a chauffeur, suspicion naturally at taches itself to the ex-convicts, al though they are innocent of any wrong- doing. From here on a fast and excif ing trail is blazed which would be spoiled in the telling ahead of time. Michael Bohnen, German baritone, who has played with great success at the Metropolitan Opera, particularly in “Johnny Spielt Auf,” will go to Holly- wood soon as a Vitaphone star. He has already had considerable screen experi- ence with UFA producers in Germany. —_— ‘fi“‘r R —6ih and C 8ts.

In fact talking and “sound” had not as yet made any noticable impressior: upon the motion picture in- dustry—and picture companies accord- ing to the trade journals of that period concentrating exclusively on a “silent” product. Even when Miss Ferber dis) of the dramatic rights to “Showboat” to Florenz Ziegfeld, no appreciation of this situation marred the serenity wit which Mr, Laemmle viewed what has proved to be the greatest advertising factor for “Showboat” which could have been conceived. The unprecedented manner with which the public began crowding into every theater to see and hear talking and “sound” films, however, soon con- vinced both Mr. Laemmle and Mr. Zieg- feld that “Showboat” without the musical and pictorial elements em- bodied in the combined work of Oscar Hammerstein. 2d, and Jerome Kern, who had collaborated in writing the book, lyrics and music for Mr. Zieg- feld’s tremendously successful luc- tion, simply would not be “Showboat” the public wanted to patronize. The fact that Mr. Ziegfeld was so thoroughly convinced of this was the deciding factor in bringing together all the in- terests which had to be considered in the final filming of the picture. The exact nature of these interests and the compensation which they will ultimately receive is to be hard to approxi- mate at this time.
