AMUSEMENTS. Flashes From the Screen By C. E. Nelsoh. URING the last presidential inauguration in Washing- ton it was estimated by certain hounds for figures that so many million words had been written concerning the event. The grand total was prob- ably quite small when compared with the millions of words written about the last “battle of a cen- tury,” when gloved gladiators punched each other around a squared circle. But all this leads to the fact that even the above word-estimates fall into the shade went into the “parlor variety” of comedy, her work did not take her to stardom. Miss Normand’s first |movie experience was obtained in | the old Biograph and Vitagraph studios. Later she appeared with | Charlie Chaplin in Mack Sennett’s | Keystone comedies. i x ¥ K X SOME of the short subjects are ! pretty bad, being used mainly |to “chase” audiences from thea- ters between showings of the featured attraction.

Billle Baker and unusual sound picture possibil- | ities. I hereby add words to the mounting peak of Greta's popu- larity. And, aside from the fact that| Greta possesses a voice, her| newest picture, “Anna Christie,”| from the Eugene O'Neill stage| play, steps into theatrical ver- nacular as a knockout. The| grace and intelligence of the star| has much to do with this par-| ticular fact. She is given a story' which is worthy of her ability; she lives in the role and justifies the extravagant claims of the press agents. She shows an abundance of emotional energy, and her portrayal of the tragic heroine, Anna, is the best single bit of screen work since the mo- tion picture came into being as a medium of entertainment. But there is another point con- cerning “Anna Christie” which deserves special mention. The Garbo is surrounded by a small but very select company. George Marion, former star of the stage, who fills the role of Anna’s father, is an nccomplished actor. The only fault which might be found with his work is the fact that he, doubtless, cultivated a stage accent for his Swedish part—a stage accent which always accom- panies the portrayal of a Swedish character. Greta, playing opposite and knowing little of the English language, is a true Swede, and yet her accent in no manner resem- bles that of Marion. Then, too, the star is fortunate in the direc- tor's, Clarence Brown's, selection of a leading man, Charles Bick- ford. The latter plays in the part of the wild Irish sailor in great style—strong, blustering man of | the sea. Now we get down to a player wnose work is, perhaps, just as good as Miss Garbo's. We refer to Marie Dressler, an actress long a familiar figure on the American stage. In her part of the female “Old Soak” she wins a niche in Hollywood’s movie hall of fame. She is the living, breathing, hard- drinking character she portrays. Miss Dressler has found her ideal medium; the screen has needed her work for the past 30 years. She is an artist. * ¥ ¥ x "THE screen version of “Anna Christie” should be one of the greatest box office features of the year, and perhaps of motion pic- ture history. Especially will this be true if the play was originally bought b{ Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer for silent production. If the auchor, Mr. O'Neill, was paid a lump sum for his work by the producers, the play remained in the hands of the film magnates and could be turned intp a sound production when they were ready. The early silent version, which made money for its sponsors, did not follow the original stage play as closely as the present sound movie. The returns from the Greta Garbo edition, aside from the salaries of the cast and studio workers, should be pretty nearly all profit. And it was not an ex- pensive picture to make—no elaborate scenes and no expensive settings. Even the cast is a small one—but what a cast! * k X ¥ HILE she did not appear in| pictures during the past couple of years, Mabel Normand, who died a few days ago at Mon- rovia; Calif., was once looked upon as a leader in her particular field, the early slap-stick comedies. It was in this class of photoplay at- traction that she made a name for herself, and one of her out- standing feature roles was in “Tillie’s Punctured Romance,” a comedy which swept the country | | | | | many years ago. Later, when she | Faces,” “Paris,” “Painted Faces,” sound pictures, thereby adding to the distress of audiences. Their fun-making does not measure up | to the antics of Polly Moran and Marie Dressler, and their panto- mime would be more appropriate. Fewer and better short subjects will improve many an afternoon or evening’s entertainment. * Xk x X% JHETHER you pay much atten- _tion to them or not, the National Indorsers of Photoplays send out their monthly lists. The Indorsers, by the way, do not con- demn a picture; they merely in- dorse. If they do not indorse, they do not consider the picture worthy of your attention. Here is a list for adults: “Glorifying the Amer- ican Girl,” “Half Way to Heaven,” “The Thirteenth Chair,” “Seven “Condemned,” “Love Parade,” “Marriage Playground” and “Dy- namite.” Then there is another group, containing onlY two pic- tures, classed as adult B. The two are “Broadway Hoofer” and “Tanned Legs.” In the class for family consumption are included: “The Kibitzer,” “Song of Ken- tucky,” “Navy Blues,” “Romance of the Rio Grande,” “Bishop Murder Case,” “Sally,” “Nix on| Dames,” “Lone Star Ranger,” “Bigger and Better,” “Rubeville,” “Songs of the Island,” “Marching Home,” “All Wrong Again,” “Night Owls” and “Mad House.” One cannot help noticing that all the films classed among those “unusual for their artistry” are mostly made in other countries. The list includes: “The Passion of Joan of Are,” “Two Days,” a drama of the Russian revolution; “Secrets of the Soul,” from a test case - of Prof. Sigmund Freud; “Shiraz,” an Indian love story; “The Village of Sin,” said to be the most discussed picture of the year; “Crainquebille,” from a story by -Anatole France; “Crime and Punishment,” from the studio of the Moscow Players; “Ways of Strength and Beauty,” from the Berlin studio of Ufa; “Nana,’ a story of Emile Zola, and several others. i i d Short Flashes. (CHESTER CONKLIN, the come- dian who wears an amazing mustache and the jaunty air, has returned to Hollywood from a vaudeville tour in the East and has been cast in the chief comedy role of “Swing High” starring Helen Twelvetrees and Fred Scott. Little Lupe Velez has turned manager of artists. She has three proteges under her wing and in- tends to put them- into the sound pictures. One of the three is a boy from Uruguay, the two other are 12-year-old girls. Jerome Kern, well known as a music composer, has signed a con- tract as a Vitaphone composer. “White Cargo,” long a stage favorite, has béen made into a movie by a British company. The David Belasco play, “Sweet Kitty Bellairs,” goes into a movie version at the Warner Brothers studio. It will be made entirely in natural colors. Little but Lwely. THE diminutive Betty Byron, who will 2 be remembered as one of the more ingratiating perfcrmers of “My Mary- land.” now returns as the ebullient Jane in “Babes in Toyland.” Through a stimulating career which began not so long ago in Dayton. Ohio, Betty has carried her very considerable powers of mimicry and dancing to a pleasant pitch of perfection. Acclaimed the most gifted youngster in the Buck- eye State at a tender age, she was later transplanted from a local production of “Silks and Satins” to the Broadway stage in one leap that lett her home town breathless with wonder. 1 AR BOW she s in “Babes in Toy- | A { N S HELD OVE SECOND WEEIK.

THE success of the current Victor Herbert cycles of operettas in New York and Boston is of more than pass- ing significance. It is an open secret on Broadway that the series was originally undertaken with no little trepidation. Indeed, it seems surprising that it was ever launched, since now nobody can be found who expected it to succeed. Apvarently it was worse than a forlorn hope. Even its promoters looked for failure. How could they expect the- atergoers, in an age of speed and jazz. to pay to hear aged tunes and ancient wheezes—above all, to watch characters in the naive costumes and situations of a quarter of a century ago? But theatergoers did. True, it looked for a time as if the worst hopes of the entrepreneurs were going to be real- ized. It took a little time for the thing get under way. Then it caught on. e Herbert festival has proved really ropulsr and not a passing fad. Reck- ss folk ventured to try the same thing in Boston, with similar results. Audi- ences contain youth of all ages, and those who are hearing these comic operas for the first time appear to en- joy them as much as their elders, who are_reviving legendary experiences. How can such things be? The rea- sons are not far to seek. In spite of the skepticismt of some producers, the public, as has been proved time and again, likes decency in the theater. It likes, too, pleasant and romantic situ- ations and plots. Finally, it likes a good tune. Of all these it is assured when it goes to see these revivals of the operettas of Victor Herbert, Reginald De Koven and Oscar Straus. The suc- cess of these productions is a signifi- cant sign of the times.—Editorial, Chris- tian Science Monitor. The Jazz Opera Again. THE sreat American jazz opera will be written by composers in Holly- wood and produced on the sound screen within the next five years, according to W. Franke Harling, the first man to write jazz rhythm into the score of a grand opera. Harling, now in Hollywood, composed the score for “The Light' from St. Agnes” and “Deep River,” the ploneer- ing jazz operas. “Jazz was not stolen from the Negro plantation songs,” he claims. “It is the creation of Tin Pan Alley, New York's stamping ground of popular music_composers. 2nd Week Ending Thursday Night It Is Smashing Records from Coast to Coast.

WHILE it has been the fashion in ‘Washington, time out of mind, especially with those who patronize stock companies during the balmy sea- son of the year, to take the entire group of players into the sanctuary of high regard and esteem and impartially to bestow praise and applause in testi- mony of satisfaction for individual achievement, there has always been manifested a sort of dominant interest in the leading lady and the leading gentleman of the aggregation. This interest, it is believed, is not lacking this year with respect to the “Jeading woman” and “leading man,” as | the prefession less tenderly describes them, of the National Theater Players. Indeed, the interest at this time seems | to be even a little bit greater than for- merly, due, perhaps, to promised sur- prises. Manager Cochran has lifted the veil on his new leading man and the know- ing ones are saying he has made an excellent choice. He is not a tatal stranger, for there will be many who will remember that tall, strapping idol of New England, Walter Gilbert, who, as Sergt. Quirk in the local presenta- tion some years ago of “What Price —e e | Glory,” and again in “They Knew What i They Wanted,” Sidney Howard's Pulit- | zer prize play, created a very pleasur- able impression. During the last 12 years, Mr. Gil- bert’s histrionic efforts have been con- fined largely to Boston and to Provi- dence, and in that section of the coun- try he ranks very high in esteem, not only as a fine actor, for up there they have daily matinees, as well as evening performances, and it takes a mighty good man to keep the pace, but he has also an unusually pleasing personality, which counts strongly with some folks. Director Clifford Brooke, who is cred- ited with bringing Mr. Gilbert's accom- plishments to the attention of Manager Cochran, has handled the brown-haired, blue-eyed young athlete in the produc- tion field and he strongly vouches for his stage ability and predicts for him a highly successful and eminently popular Summer at the National. Mr. Gilbert’s latest work was done in the try-out of “X-Y-Z,” George M. Co- han'’s new play, which is not to be given to the world until the versatile Cohan finishes his prolonged engagement in Chicago in “Gambling,” in which he is making personal appearances with no end of success. Spirit of Youth. THE eternal spirit of youth is typi- fied to the 'nth degree in “Happy | Days,” in a stirring scene in which more than 20 babies, crowded into a monster baby carriage, become the objects of admiration, while Walter Catlett and Lucien Littlefield sing “We'll Build a Little World of Our Own” to them. | This, of course, is a parody of a Gaynor- Farrell number that preceded it, and said to be quite effective. Besides this extremely youthful talent, which has been supplied for a picture combining the efforts of the stars of “The Cock Eyed World,” “Sunny Side Up,” “Hot for Paris,” “Seventh Heaven" and “Street Angel,” there have been added the internationally famous dim- | pled knees of Ann Pennington and 50 spirited girls with long hair ‘'who are saild to have taxed the producers the ;:gl:l:é a comb and a magnifying glass LITTLE THEATRE BET.
