HE screen version of R. C. Sher- riff’s famous play, “Journey's End,” comes to the R-K-O Keith's Saturday. ‘The tremendous success of the stage play is so well known that it needs no recounting. The screen ver- sion of “Journ: End” is said to fol- low the stage play closely and is de- scribed as practi- cally the play it- self photographed and recorded just as it stood, with. out elision in word or incident and with only a few sequences brought into sight that were described or suggested rather than shown before the footlights. ‘The raid into the enemy lines led by Osborn and Ls?da. leigh mow becomes a visible episode, nn?i so, too, the finale, where the bom- bardment starts that spells the doom of the British company in the trenches before St. Quentin. There are glimpses of the action that is taking place out- side the dugout, such as the enemy coming out of his trenches and moving to_the attack. : In the picture one detail is said to be even an improvement on the play. The picture opens with a night scene, the force of British Tommies moving up through a shell-torn town toward the first-line trenches, stumbling in the half light over a shell-torn road; the only sounds the crash of artillery and the creak and rattle of troops moving. Two Englishmen made this talker on the coast, James Whale and George Pearson, the former directing and Pearson_supervising. Mr. Pearson is one of Briton’s pioneer producers. Colin Clive, creator of the Capt. Stan- hope role in_ the initial London stage production, plays the lead in the talker. David Manners plays young Raleigh, Ian Maclaren interprets Osborne and other important roles are played by Anthony Bushell, Billy Bevan, Jack Pit. cairn, Charles Gerrard, Thomas White ly, Warner Klinger and Robert A'Dair. “Journey's End” as a picture has been pronounced one of the great screen achievements of the yea Colin Clive. Metropolitan's Feature Dennis King in “Vagabond King.” GLOWING, colorful romance of medieval France—the love story of the vagabond poet and patriot, Francois Villon—comes to Warner Bre Metro- politan Theater Friday, with Dennis King in the title role. Adapted on a magnificent scale from the great Ziegfeld stage success, with its unforgettable song hits by Rudolph O build America’s finest motor car is not only the chief consideration, but always the distinguished accomplishment, of The Pierce- WEDNESDAY, MAX: 21, | Prim1, “The Vagabond K one of the most beautiful talking and singing pictures ever produced. It is filmed entirely in technicolor, and fully re-creates the motley costumes, the regal 1930. of Paris in the days of Villon. Supporting Mr. King are Jeanette MacDonald, O, P. Heggie, Lillian Roth, Warner Oland and a thousand other players. Great choruses boom forth the stirring strains of the vagabond songs. Cries and the clash of arms are heard |in the thrilling scenes of battle between the Parisian beggars and the villainous Burgundians, “The Vagabond King” tells the story of how Villon, the poor poet, was al the throne of Prance for a week. he loves. Palace’s New Picture, | “The Lady of Scandal.” | RUTH CHATTERTON, the distin guished star, will be seen at Loew Palace Saturday in the Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer production “The Lady of Scan- dal” with Basil Rathbone and Ralph Forbes in the supporting cast. The story, by Frederick Lonsdale, | author of “The Last of Mrs. Cheyney, deals with Elsle, an actress,*who con- sents to marry John, a scion of English aristocracy. His father attempts to buy the girl off, and for this reason they announce their engagement, and a pa ents’ plot to scparate them follows. Elsie, however, captivates stald nobility by her own charming manners and ail ends happily. On the stage Michon brothers, a pair of acrobats who fall for you that you may fall for them, and Richy Craig, ir., a smiling master of ceremonies, are presented in a Capitol Theater, N. Y., presentation, “Varictie The "Sidell sisters, sensational Apache dancers, and a ballet of Chester Hale girls complete the cast.

A FIRST NATIONAL and Vitaphone comedy and one of the leading dancing comics of the American stage share the spotlight at Warner Bros. Earle Theater for the new week, begin- ning Priday. The picture is “Dumbbells in Ermine,” a Toaring farce, with Robert Armstrong, Barbara Kent, Arthur Hoyt, Claude Gil lingwater, James Gleason, Mary Foy, Charlotte Merriam and other adept en- tertainers. The stage attraction is none .other than Joe Frisco, dancer and wit, old friend of the tilted derby and the jaunty cigar, which haven't been seen in Wash- ington_for several years. Frisco has made New York his abode, entertaining the natives with his inimitable concep- tions of dance forms of the old Barbary Coast and employing his hat and cigar to assist him in his merrymaking. “Dumbbells in Ermine” is a laughable screen version of Lynn Starling's big stage success, “Weak Sisters,” and shows how some clever showgirls turn the tables on a reformer and bring happi- ness to a girl of Puritan environment and her prifie fighter sweetheart. Additional features will include the Pathe and The Evening Star-Universal news reels, the latter with Graham Mc- Namee_newscasting the events; Vita- phone Varieties and the Earle Orchestra. “Caught Short” at Columbia, A Dressler-Moran Laughing Riot. ARIE DRESSLER and Polly Moran, “the foremost comedy team of the screen,” are announced by Loew's Co- lumbia for Saturday in the Metro- Goldwyn - Mayer laughing picture, “Caught Short.” The title was sug- gested by Eddie Cantor's well known book. Anita Page and Charles Morton also appear in the cast. It is the story of two women whose adventures take them from the wash- board at Washington Square to the big board at Wall Street and then back again. It introduces the Widow Jones and Smith with their respective off- spring, Genevieve and Willlam. Mrs. Jones, the widow of a_gambler, is very conservative. Not so Mrs. Smith, who leaves cleaning up in the kitchen to clean up in Wall Street. In an argu- ment over the opportunities in Wall Street they quarrel, also causing the rupture between Genevieve and William. Mrs. Smith departs for the seashore, whHle the Widow Jones goes to the stock market, where she is successful. With her daughter she then goes to the same resort at the seashore. Just as William is to be married to an actress word comes of the stock market crash and in their grief the widows are reunited, while the actress leaves William at the altar, At $2695 This new Prerce-Arrow Straight Eight offers a value without paralle/ in today’s fine car freld Arrow Motor Car Company.

It is called “The White Hell of Pitz Palu” and was made secretly atop the world’s greatest mountain range. The showing in Wash- ington will be the world's premiere and the film will be shown in New York at the Roxy Theater, it is announced, in the“\,/‘eil"y near future. 5 te Hell” is described as a drama of hair-raising thrills and a powerful story. But the story is as nothing against the stark tragedy that one sees worked out by nature. Human actors are submerged by the mighty perform- ance of the elements in a land far above the clouds. Aerophotography, of course, played a large part in the success of ‘White Hell,” and still, it is said, the audience will be continually wondering where the camera was when some of the most spectacular and breath-taking scenes ever caught by a motion picture Pphotographer are shown.
