PRESIDENT CHEVROLET DAY ENITE A service that has taken 10 years to make Quiet, Attractive Apartments; BRIGHTWOOD AGAIN| NAMES RAY LEADER | Citizens’ Association Holds Elections at Meeting in High School. Charles W.

The association adopt:d a resolution commending the Federation of Citizens' Association for supporting Willlam McK.

The assoclation proposes to protest any additional increase in the present tax rate in connection with the 1932 budget now before the Commissioners, according to resolutions adopted. It THE EVENING STAR WASHINGT( From the Front Row Reviews and News of Washington's Theaters. “Liliom” Is Fairly Good In Spite of Mr, Farrell ACK a few years “Liliom™ was a swaggering, blustering, attractively conceited liber- tine, played faultlessly by Joseph Schildkraut. In his present state, as personified by Charles Farreil, he is a lukewarm idler, with nothing much to dis- tinguish him except his sleeping. This new film at the Fox is not, however, to be 'ignored. It has been di- rected with taste and imag- ination by Frank Borzage, and where Mr. Farrell is weak he is strength- ened by the presence of Rose Hobarth, a newcomer to the screen. Miss Hobarth is pos- sibly not as moving in per- formance as was Eva Le Gallienne in the same role, but this seems rather the fault of the transformation from stage to screen, and the less intimate re- lationship to the players and their lines. Director Borzage has mnot only handled that almost classic scene at the rallroad crossing with a re- markable sense of the dramatic, but he has charged the last few min- utes of the “heavenly” episode with humor- and ingenuity which reaches something of a_climax in the diffi- culty Gabriel has in blowing his horn. _Possibly, reminded by the shambling good nature of the cur- rent “Green Pastures,” he has made of these rich and touching glimpses into the hereafter—scenes to which Mr. Farrell lends nothing whatso- ever. One must congratulate the direc- Charles Farrell. with which he has clothed the whole film. The settings are simple but picturesque, and the incidental music effective in its unobtrusive- ness_ All these help the material which the author, Ferenc Molnar, gave so generously of. For the c acter of Liliom is not to be for- gotten, nor his poor, wistfully tender Wife, Julle, of whom he "is only proud when she is about to become a mother. Besides the ineffective Mr. Farrell and the crystal perfection of Miss Hobarth the cast is_distinguished for the skill of Lee Tracy. H. B. Warner_as the final administrator, resplendent in a stiff white shirt and wing collar, lends a cold and theatrical touch to what had been before him pretty natural and un- sophisticated. In spite, however, of these few minor disturbances and the larger and bird-voiced Farrell, this film is fairly entertaining and full of a certain pathos that is just what Mr. Molriar must have wanted. The stage show, Fanchon and Marco's idea of “Brunettes” is en- livened by the Slate brothers, danc- ers of renown, who in a few weeks’ time will be invigorating Mr, Zieg- feld's new “Follies.” Others in the rather long production include Ar- manda Chirot. Hirsch - Arnold Dancers, Jose Mercado, Charles Car- rier and Ali Hassan Blue Streaks. Ron and Don discuss prohibition and Al Lyon plays nicely on the piano. Various newsreels and comedies com- plete the program. E. de 8. M. “Reno,” a Divorce Drama, Offered at Metropolitan. WO accidents provide the begin- ning and the end of the story that is told in “Reno,” the divorce drama that is offered at the Metro- politan. One is the accidental meet- ing on & train of a man and a wom- an who had been separated for six years. The other is a fatality that terminates the life of a husband in D. C., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1930. dence in defense of the woman's divorce suit. Between those two events there is a triangle, but one in which there is no violation of the spirit of loy- alty. In fact, the chief development of the plot is based upon a farewell embrace which in itself furnishes the evidence of family virtue—evi- dence that the man and woman in- volved had every intention of honor- ing a supposed reconciliation of hus- band and wife. The force of the story is found in the attempt to blacken a reputation by the usec of that embrace as part of a plan to manufacture evidence. The talking picture presented de- serves praise because of the fine phio- tographic effects obtained and be- cause of the snappy way in which the successive incidents follow & logical course without break or lack of continuous intcrest. The scenes are taken among the most strixing of the activities of the divorce mecca and in the surrounding country re- glons. They are pictured effectively, and a race by motor cars sho many narrow escapes from disaster, winding up with the plunging of a heavy auto into the river. As a story of divorce, “Remo” has the distinction of showing the whole- some side of an inevitable domestic controversy, based on tyranny, and probably offers a new type of the triangular story. A cast in which several members show ability in de- picting normal qualities has been as- sembled. Conspicuous is the work of Miss Ruth Roland as Felicia Brett, the intended divorcee. She is continuously in the picture and, with her young "son, Bobby Brett lgllyed by Douglas Scott, also with ability), gives an occasional domestic touch which relieves the intensity of fear of disaster. Miss Roland also sings effectively. About as clear-cut a character of the more brutal tvpe as it would be possible to find is that of Alexander Brett, the hushand, in which Mon- tagu Love discloses both the harde ness of a successful man of affeirs who happens to be defective on the human side and the simulated pten- derness of a plotter who must pre- tend to be moved by emotion in his attempt to establish a truce. Kene neth Thomson, in the difficult role of the former fiance who has not forgotten, but who recognizes his position, achieves a fair cegree of success. Incidental roles are played by Sam Hardy, Alyce McCormick, Edward Hearn, Doris Lloyd, Judith Vosselli, Virginia Ainsworth, Beulah Monroe, Emmett King, Henry Hall and Gayne Whitman. It is a worth- while picture, nr;r“;,n s:'llonvufto'r'n!dy subjects also he letropolitan program, and "The Evening . Star-Universal Newsreel offers a good representa- tion of current events, mcluding anti-aircraft activities by the Coast Artillery, an impressive series of ple- tures at a Swedish children’s fes- tival, apes in a balloon race, a coun- terfeit raid, kennel-maid training and others. DI1C:C “All Quiet on the Western Front” Continues Popular at Rialto. NOTHER week is added to the Tun of the great war film, “All Quiet on the Western Front,” which has received the unqualified approval of the Washington public. Begin- ning yesterday, the film being shown at the Rialto receives another exten- slon of time, with the result that it may be seen by those who have delayed their attendance at these pertormances, while many others are expected to take advantage of the opportunity to repeat. This notable contribution to the screen, based upon a story which has im- pressed the world, because of its new point of approach to the World War, not only tells an interesting and dramatic story, but also offers some of the most striking war scenes ever offered. * A3 PRESIDENT APPOINTS CADETS TO WEST POINT Eight Young Men Named to Take Entrance Examinations—Mel- ville Coburn of &ity Included.
