Nothing, it is announced, but the actual impossibility of installing the scenery of the new musical comedy, “Jonica,” was responsible for the dark house and lack of a performance at the National Theater last evening, as sched- uled. Manager Cochran states that, despite herculean efforts to overcome obvious obstacles in the proper presentation of the settings and scenic beauties of the new show, a postponement of the open- ing night until tomorrow was impera- tive. Meanwhile, he states, tickets for performances last night and this eve- ngw may be exchanged at the box office.

That, in short, is “The Rogue Song.” There is beauty in the technicolor filming, the charm of fascinating scen- ery in wild country and the contrast- ing effectiveness of scenes in a luxuri- ous palace are also among this picture's attractions. Lionel Barrymore is sald to have directed it, and he is to be con- gratulated upon many fine groupings of people in various scenes. The com- edy is capably handled by Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. The bumble bee scene is undoubtedly one of the fun- niest incidents ever filmed. All the actors seem to do their best to bring reality to a story sufficiently Graus- tarkian to fill the romantic need of the ladies in the audience, and with plenty of Russianized opportunity to suggest brutality and appeal to the bullfight in- stinets of the audience KenenllyA .

The fault lies probably in the direction which forces the to assume more villainous than one is accustomed to nowadays. There is in this story much shooting, much boot- legged liquor, much turmoil in the office of the Chicago Times, and a girl, of course, who has to sing when her heart is well nigh breaking—and yet, in spite of all this, the film never gets to be intensely exciting, never gets really be- yond the mildly interesting state, Just what might happen if a news- paper man tried to reveal the actions of & pretty tough aggregation of bootleg- gers in an inn outside of Oblcago s the theme around which Mr. Hecht has fabricated his plot.

The remainder of the story centers around his brother reporter who comes to find out about it, avenges him and rounds up the gangsters to make a perfect ending. Charles Ruggles is seen in the role of a reporter, being especially effective in the scene where he taps a code story to his paper while pretending to teil something quite different. Fred Kohler, as ‘the bootlegger, is the exponent of villainy, and Helen Morgan, who at- tained fame by sitting on the top of a piano in a night club, is good at times and at other times not so good. Pat Henning is the featured performer in the stage entertainment, “Southern Melodies,” and Bobby Gillette a pleas- ing master of ceremonies.

Alone in the world, she vows vengeance against “Butch” McArthur, a detective sergeant, whom she holds ' responsible for the murder. The role is well taken by ‘Willlam Holden. Five years later Rose is seen as the hostess of a night club, owned by a callous criminal, “Chuck” Gaines, ad- mirably represented by 1f Harolde. When “Chuck” falls out with any one he sends “Bing,” the major-domo of the cabaret, (Maurice Black) to take the victim “for a ride.” When not engaged in this business “Chuck” is trying to make love to Rose. Rose, however, falls in love with a club frequenter named “Jimmie” (Regis Toomey). Later she finds him to be the son of the hated detective, McArthur. She also finds the love of her heart for the boy is stronger than her hate for his father, saves him from “a ride” planned by “Chuck,” and, after the night club is raided and a few criminals are shot, a happy ending is depicted. Robert Emmet O'Connor, as a detective, completes the well-balanced cast of a worthwhile show. The subsidiaries are many. Included in the list are R-K-O news reel, a golf story by Grantland Rice. a Pathe Car- toon comedy, “Ride 'em Cowboy,” a sec- ond comedy depicting the trials of a tenderfoot, and an orchestral selection based on school days by Freddy Clark.

Indeed, Jimmy seems to be & young riot in himself, who has no trouble in winning the noisy acclama- tion of a well packed house. He also g;uvel that he is as astute an actor as has been manager and producer. He has surrounded himself with a good crew of entertainers, who disport themselves in as jovial a mood as their leader himself. Lilllan Dixon is a prima donna of distinction and easily wins abundant reward in applause for her singing and dancing. The two comedians, Reeb and Hart, keep the audience laughing, and Jane Vitale, a more than adequate sou- brette, does well her share of the en- tertaining, and with much talent in the remainder of the company contributes strongly in making this one of the out- standing burlesque attractions.
