o as Becky Sharp. NCE a great actress, always a great actress! And there- upon Mrs, Piske last night inued Father Time to the and gave her com- ly inf lmluble version of Becky at the Nationol before an Sudience that nemed to be thorough- ‘ly delighted with ‘Those who are n! the opinion that this is Mrs. Fiske's greatest role must have been reassured in their belief lli:: nl k‘lll. Although it is no the evening one could have sworn that reen-e y e d y Wwas no more in years than she should be, and that at least half a cen- vixenish man- wential to, the sen! e role, the dresses that fairly cried out ln their empire garishness, the fa- maliar PFiskian - “tut-tuts!” were all in evidence in a way they have al- ‘ways been. Mrs. Fiske cajoled and wheedled and cried pretty crocodile tears, and by the end of the evening, i with Joseph Sedley smirking at her over the top of her lodging’s screen, she had painted the life history of ‘Becky much as Thackerav must have wanted her to be painted. There is not so much plot to this classic tale of the clever adventuress a8 there is characterization. And, in- asmuch as Mrs. Fiske's greatest powers are best in command when she is revealing some one to the ‘ eore, the combination is especially fortunate in Becky Sharp. t potent scene in Becky's parlor—the midnight supper with Lord Steyne _—seems somewhat tepid on the stage ‘as compared to the book—but then mflm of the time are possibly what detract from it. At any rate the plny—u - phy—h satisfying, snd Mrs. Piske is more than that. ‘The company h\ her support seemed especially at their ease last night. m notable were Eleanor Gordon’s mol Miss Crawley in the first act, ling Oliver as the bul- bous Jo Sedley and Edmund Elton down on his knees.

IT characters such as are expected to surround this representation of the modern :dea of the life of a small monarch and his court. Villainy has full play for a while, but Mr. Lytell and Miss Mill:r make it impossible for treachery to succeed. It may be, however, that the Lone Wolf, having found such surroundings irksome, some day will return to h's old haunts, notwithstanding the author’s assurante that this is his last ex- ploit of the type for which he has become known to the public. PFine character work is done by Otto Matieson as the prime m nister, while Maryland Morne, introduced as a rising figure on the screen, makes an effective picture of the forlorn queen, whose lost ring causes trouble in the ruling household of the land. The plot, in fact, has all th: elements of the dramatic repre- sentat'on, previously sren in the drama, of the attempt to return a piece of jewelry in time to avert sus- picion on the part of the distin- guished spous: of & woman. Others who h-a.e a part in the story as members of the cast are Lucien Prlvll Alfred Hickman, Haley Sulli- van, Pletro Sosso, Henry Daniel and James Liddy. A comedy which employs all the time-honored devices for the produc- tion of boisterous fun is presented by Buster West and John West in “Don’t Give Up,” and, as a more pretentious pisce of mechanization than the ordi~ nary short subject, it succesds in combining a variety of situations in- tended for laughing purposes. The Looney Tune Cartoons continue to be'b'zarrely interesting; Ripley’s “Be- | lieve It or Not” is shown, and The Evening Star-Universal newsreel, with Graham McNamee, offers the much-discussed phases of the West Point-Yale foot ball game, including Booth's experience, with removal from the contest. Many other cur- rent news matters are in this film. D.C.C. ar is for “Scotland Yard” Fairly Entertaining. WHAT Scotland Yard accomplishes in the film of the same name at the Fox Theater this week is to reveal to an incredibly lovely lady that her husband is not her hus- band at all. In other words, this is one of those not uncommon themes in which, through the medium of plastic surgery, one man substitutes for another and thereby fits him- sell into a nice little groove for life, winning the love of a fine lady. becoming president of a bank, and turning a complete somersault in the matter of living. cause Edmund Lowe, who un- dergoes the grafting of a new face on his not too handsome original, is intrinsically not a gentleman (in the picture, of course)—in fact, is a notorious and (as al in the cinema) an attractive thief—the plot becomes supposedly full of excite- ment and bitter ironfes. It isn't, however, particularly out of the ordinary, because Mr. Lowe is not inspiring and because Joan Bennett, although the most appealing part of the picture; acts with less skill than was derived the rich and boorish cad, who is swept away to war shortly after his wedding night, is substituted for by the villainous crook, who, at the sight of Miss Ben- nett, changes the path of his life and. incidentally, the ways of his bu.llnem In the end he has his pflm—mt the audience is allowed to go home happy, after a message m- she wait for mmmm th the film itself—which is igh program picture—David Torrence m-lmme | thesplan bouquet away from every- stage sugmented by Ron and Don at the organ and an uvmure pllyed with customary verve by Mr. musicians, the lllm “idea,” “Box In it may be seen Lynn sorted group dance nicely in spite of doing merely collection of s de Regular Delivery Over 100,000 families read The day ing eenu daily and 5 cents Sundny‘ It you are not nn- “f: this regular service at low cost, telephone National 5000 now and eervice will start temorrow. ps save not only in | Congress Street M.
