Others in the cast include Jack Whiting, Charles Butter- | ci worth and Charles Judels. Nick Lucas returns to Wi with an entirely new am of crwn ing melodies. He will strum his gui also in accompaniment to many Ly u.u newest popular songs. Supplementing Lucas in the stage show are Willlam and Joe Mandel, agile comedians, never still for a moment; Zastro and White, fast-stepping songsters, assisted by Ber- nice Marshall; Sunny Schuck and the King Sisters, and Clifford and Marion, Vitaphone Variety entertainers, in com- edy moments. The Vitaphone Variety, “The Intruder,” with Otto xrunr Veree Teasdale and Alan Broke; Earle Orchestra overture, and the lnla News Events complete the entertain- ment. NATIONAL—*“Abraham Lincoln.” WOED has come from the National Theater that D. W. Griffith's “Abraham Lincoln” is to be continued up to and including Sunday night, October 26. The artistic success of the Griffith “Lincoln” is undisputed. The “Old Master” of the films has again rung the bell by offering a production that is at once dignified and reverent in its atti- tude toward the Great Emancipator. While Mr. Grifith has taken certain liberties with history (due doubtless to the enormous task of condensing the entire career of Lincoln from the cradle to the grave), he has produced a motion picture which stands out as a monu- ment to America's directing genius of the silver sheet. Walter Huston as “Lincoln” offers an impersonation, despite certain physical drawbacks, which fl.c“ him surely in the highest rank of our leading motion picture stars. Una Merkel as Ann Rutledge is tender in her portrayal of Lincoln’s boyhood sweetheart. Others in a long cast who deserve special men- tion are Hobart Bosworth as Gen. Lee, Erank Gam Hammond as Mrs. Lincoln, Ian Kj as Booth, the mad actor; James Br‘:: bury, jr., as Gen. Scott, E. Alyn Warren a.' Slgahel: Dmd"}l‘t't’l Fred Warren as n.
