The Week’s Attractions in Local Theaters Reviews of New John METROPOLITAN “General Crack” is superb in_his nirst fppearance on the sound screen in the role of General Crack, romantic figure of the eighteenth century, who was at once a soldier, a gypsy and a prince. Here we have the Barrymore of the &tage once more, adding to his powers of physical portrayal, which alone car- ried him to the pinnacle in silent drama, the magnificent dramatic quali. ties of his speaking and singing voice. And we have him in a role worthy of the talents of such an artist. These Jactors, combined with an excellent sup- rting cast, artistic setting and flaw- ess direction, place this Warner Bros. g?sdumnn in’ the front ranks of sound «ilms.

The production is artistically and colorfully staged and has some meritorious features, par- ticularly John Maxwell's surprise and Castleton and Mack's slow motion acro- | batic dance. The Chester Hale girls! are pretty and can dance and make lots of noise with their voices. And, of | course, there’'s a Metrotone News to frame the bill. J.E.C. FOX “Christiana” In “Christiana,” a screen tale of Holland, now at the Fox, Janet Gaynor, THE EVENING Dressler, and the scarcely less capable Polly Moran. A great many people will probably remember what a success “Sevel;({heyl pened to it on the screen they will dis- cover that it has been treated with reverence and considerable skill. Richard Dix, in the role of an author novel in 24 hours, is, as usual, genial and naively entertaining. If he suf- fers, perhaps, from an overdose of profile it is not his fault. He brings to the picture a refreshing quality of spontaneity, which is what it deserves and what any audience should be grate- ful for. The male element in the cast has the “jump” on the female—prob- ably because their narts are in a sense juicier—still the old Hermit, or “Her- mie,” as he is called, manages pretty nearly to steal the picture from every- body else. News reels and a travel talk on Spain conclude the program. And—don't forget Marie Dressler's shoulder! E. M.

There is not | # dull moment in the picture from the prologue to the final fadeout.

Extraordinarily clever dialogu- | has been put into the mouth of one who knows how to turn a pretty phrase or a cutting one with equal grace and suavity. i ‘Taunted by a slighting reference to his gypsy mother, dropped carelessly | from the lips of court ladies, upon his m visit to the palace of Leopold II, peror of Austria, to offer the serv- jces of his army to the crown, Prince Christian, rightful Duke of Kurland (though by an illegitimate union), asks, the hand of the gr duchess, sister of the ruler. This being anted very reluctantly by the Em- eror/ the fighting general ironically proceeds to release her highness from th: betrothal “to one whose mother she could not meet,” and marries in- stead a gypsy maid who becomes un- faithful during her bridegroom’s ab- sence in battle. The Emperor himself 1s her tempter. Learning of this, Gen. Crack plans a eruel revenge, but first carries out his agreement to place Leopold on the throne of Bavaria. He both crowns and uncrowns him, and, having com- ylcled his ruin, is on the point of "evening all scores” at the expense of the Emperor's sister, the grand duch- ess, when his revenge suddenly turns to ashes. He not only spares the life of the Emperor and the honor of his sister, but restores to him his Bavarian king- dom. ‘Through this renunciation Christian ultimately \wins the lovely Maria Louisa, regains his own duchy | of Kurland and finds happiness in a deeper love than that impetuous passion | that had mismated him to the faith- Jess gypsy. It is a masterful tale, masterfully portrayed. Owing to the length of the feature, subsidiary attractions are confined to | news reels. C. F.

There is only one conclusion to draw after viewing the picture, and that is that the debut of Miss Talmadge as a speaking actress has too long been de- Jayed. She is a revelation, even for a | star of such magnitude. Her voice is | warm and flexible and her use of it | is smooth and easy. Altogether her initial experiment with speech from | the screen showw painstaking care. The | result is a decided success. It is regrettable, however, that a mor: appropriate vehicle than “New York Nights” could not have been found for Miss Talmadge’s introduction a talkie prima donna. The char- acter of the phy and the role in which she had been cast are different, very different in fact, from the sentimental pastels in which we are accustomed to | secing her, and that of course is dis- her greatest excellence since “Seventh Heaven.” As a little Dutch girl, the daughter of a blind toymaker, whose happiness she holds dearer than her own, the charming star ceases to act and lives her part in keeping hidden from her father the series of tragic incidents, bit- stories, of which there has been ome- | talkies when this picture had The film is another of those show life | what of a “plethora” of late.

But Paramount has given a slightly ter disappointments and heartbreaks that come to her when she falls in love with the man of her dreams .and seems destin>d to lose him. When her luck finally turns her joy is so genuine that she seems literally to step forth from the screen and enter the lives of her audience to remain long after the new twist to this one which is refresh. ing. The producer turns out not to be a villain at all, and we have the sur- prise of seeing and hearing Willlam | Powell, who has villained so well and | so often, playing “magnanimous.” Hc loves the lovely lady played by Fay Wray, but when he discovers the irue love 'between her and an ideulistic young chap she has married, and js | supporting so he can_write symphenies, | —well, the plot is different from the run of movies.

It goes | all right at the Earle this week. Helen Kane, with her baby talk, “boop-boop-a-doops” it, (or however you spell it); Skeets Gallagher joins her in a man-and-wife comic act, which at times is subtle and again wild- ly slapstick. Fay Wray stands around and looks beautiful, and the idealistic youth with whom she is supposed to be so deeply in love does his best to look handsome. One of the best things on the vro- | gram, in these days of canned music, is the Earle orchestra, under the able direction of Daniel Breeskin. It plays | a_delightful medley of old favorites, several from Victor Herbert. The Eve- ning Star-Universal and Pathe news- reels and comedy complete a pleasant | bill of entertainment. H. R COLUMBIA “Dynamite” ct tr'umph for Miss Gay- nor and if her abiiity to ris> above the rank of a mere delightful personality to that of a talented screcn actress was ever doubted this picture should settle the matter. Originally begun as a silent produc- tion, the film was taken back to the studios and the dialogue portion in the last half added. In the speaking role Miss Gaynor's performance far excels that of the pantomime version. To those familiar with her work in “Sev- enth Heaven” and in “Sunrise” and who are not yet certain as to whether she is better in a silent or in a taling part, “Christiana” gives & fine oppor- tunity to determine the question, for “Christina” is far and above her best talking screen effort. Based on a book by Tristam Tupper, the story opens in the little island settle- ment of Marken on the Zuyder Zee, moves through windmill-dotted tulip flelds and draws to a heartgripping climax in the City of Amsterdam. During the visit of a little traveling circus Christina finds the man of her dreams in the person of Jan (Charles Morton), who rides into her heart on a white circus charger. They fall des- perately in love, but through the scheming of Mme. Bosman (Lucy Dor- raine), the owner of the show, and a jealous rival, Jan is imprisoned in Amsterdam on a false charge. When on the day set aside for Christina's wedding Jan fails to arrive, she deeides to go through with the ceremony with Dirk Torpe, swarthy leader of the fish- ing’ fleet in Marken, a former suitor, rather than bring misery and unhap- piness to her blind father, who mistakes Dirk for the real lover. In the suspense of waiting for Jan, in whom she has never fatth, and in the climax which follows, Miss Gaynes does her finest acting. Three players give a remarkably fine ac- count of themselves in Cecil B. De Mille’s first talking picture, “Dynamite,” now being shown at the Columbia Theater. ‘They are Kay Johnson, recruited from the l:.ll!: Charles Bickford and Conrad Nagel. This trio makes the picture, literally speak. Even in the traditional De Mille scenes—the elaborate, many-peopled scenes which stamped the De Mille product on the silent screen—one never forgets that the story is entirely in the hands of these three persons, the woman and the two men who seek her love, the Lloyd Hamilton standard. Evening Star-Universal news reel and other short subjects complete the pro- gram. J.N.P. GAYETY, “Dimpled Darlings. themselves, however, although possibly/ com the program. J.N. P A i Tine voices and very RI'\Ill() good acting, with a story “This Thing essentially humorous and Called Love” containing a pleasant quantity of that thing called spice, characterize the screen version of the stage play, “This Thing Called Love,” shown at the Rialto Theater. Edmund Lowe, one of the outstand- ing veterans of the old silent screen, plays opposite Constance Bennett, and has, perhaps, the more important role of the two. Miss Bennett is seen as the sister of a girl whose wedding has turned out none too well, agrees, for a salary of some $25,000 a year, to “act” as the wife of Mr. Lowe. The complications that cnsue are easily imagined. As a business venture complete failure, because along. whether or no. It's rollicking comedy up to and including the final scene, in which the principals in the business “match” have to own up to their hearts. The entire cast is well chosen and able. It includes, with Mr. Lowe and Miss Bennett, Zas Pitts and Carmelita Geraghty. Lloyd Hamilton is.back in another one of his rejuvenated comedies.

All of which doesw't mean that the revue isn’t good. It is really excellent. In the first act Bert Carr, singing “Pretty Little Bom Bom,” brought forth well deserved cheers. Happy Hyatt, in the second act, mountainously rampant in a red dress that became less as the song advanced, puts over “I Can't Give You Anything But Love, Baby,” with frenzied success. ‘When these two weren't on the stage there was either Miss Bradley or Miss May to wonder at, so what would you? and who | love comes | earlier than the Tex | stated, because plantu | States is done in the Fall, most of the | | cabbage being grown on islands along the coast, where frost seldom caus much interference with growing crops.

Rudolph Schildkraut, veteran characteyy actor, admirably plays the blind father. Dirk Torpe, the fisherman of Marken, is well done by Harry Cording. There is nothing to recommend the musical score of the Movietone se- quences, which is marked by rather poor reproduction, and “Christina,” the theme song, sung from “the wings” but once, does not measure up to the stand- ard set by the picture. Leon Brusiloff, conductor of the Fox Orchestra, presents a special arrange- appointing. Even so, Miss Talmadge, in her versatile way, handles the char- | acterization with inimitable skill, con- | sidering its restricted limitations, The picture itself, is absorbing an unlike, in certain respects, a number of the recent outpourings of photo- plays based on racketeering and the night life of New York. The story is | an adaptation of the play of the stage, “Tin Pan Alley.” | “New York Nights” has its dramatic moments, its pathos and a sprinkling | of comedy relief, and these seem to be the only ingredients required of any interesting play. The theme, however, 1s one of those “Believe it or not” vari- ties. which some might term far- | fetched. Miss Talmadge is cast as a pretty chorus girl, who is tied, by the bonds of matrimony, to a ne‘er-do-well song writer with a weakness for drink. Gil- | bert Roland appears as her rum-soaked, | song-writing husband. So far as the acting routine goes Roland does exactly what other drunken husbands have been doing for years, but the way he dbes it is not too impressive. ‘The performance of John Wray as Joe Previdi, a Chicago gangster, who has become a “big shot” in New York, | and of Lilyan Tashman as an alert and case-hardened lady of the ensemble ment of melodies by Moskowski as the overture and introduces Alexander Cal- Jam, the new master of ceremonies, from the stage.

With him on the bill are Emilie and Romaine, Charles Brugge, Helen Warner, Eddie Rey, La Petite Marie and several others. H. G.
