Harned, sang with an intensity and s display of professionalism that raised it up at once into the clouds, and pointed to its being an organi- zation for whom no music seems too difficult. It sang, too, not in sections, nor with highlights and lowlights that were lumpy in their graduations, but as a whole—and as one—with an eyz for the leader— who could not, of course, lead it astray. If there is any fault to be found, it was that the ladies out- shone the men—the soprano strains coming forth with clarity and ease— putting the stronger sex somewhat in_the shade. The soloists, Jeannette Vreeland, Nevada Van Der Veer, Dan Gridley and Fraser Gange, all of them artists of distinction, sang their parts with no thought save that of blending in with the whole, and thus—not ington will probably ever hear was brought about yesterday afternoon at Con- stitution Hall, when Serge Kous- sevitzky, B(!'gtrl hgtymphona chestra an By a Btaff Correspondent of The Star. s large local UPPER MARLBORO, Md., December 2 chorus 6—After being held in separate cells for six months, the Brady brothers, and Leroy, have recently been united in the Marlboro Jail. | val by sn in- The brothers, who are accused of 3 spired rendition murder in_ connection with the Seat T tha ““NInth Pleasant bombing last New Year B Symphony.” day, were first jailed in separate cells With Kous- o prevent their communicating with Shvitiky ab the each other. helm, the gigan- During the investigation they were | S Dates o not even permitted the privilege of | il e mingling with the other prisoners in R hons the cell corridor, a liberty given most | Schiller's “Od risoners, according to former Sheriff | e e MR tharles S.

O’LOVGHLIN| 1 I Defense Attempts to Break &vi- dence in Trial on Charge of Slaying Stepdaughter. By the Associated Press. DENVER, December 6.—Friendly wit- nesses rallied to the cause of Mrs. Pearl OLoughlin today as the defense in her trial on the charge of slaying her step- at must inevitably be called greatness.” For, after a not too invigorating performance of the “First Symphony,” Koussevitzky shook himself and his orchestra from the sluggishness of the early after- noon and summoned up fire and thunder, and a leadership that sw:ept everything before it, and made an audience that listened breathlessly applaud feverishly when it was all over. This was, in fact, something that will not easily be forgotten. It is able to express their own individual merits to any great degree—were yet responsible for much that was es- pecially melodious and soothing to the ear. All of which, with Koussevitzky at his most majestic, summoning voices and instruments into complete harmony, brought the week's fete to & triumphant close and made one shed more than a single tear that such a resume of ths greatest works of Beethoven should have come and gone 8o speedily. E. de 8. M. From the Front Row Reviews and News of Washington's Theaters. Roland West Does Well In “The Bat Whispers.” OLAND WEST'S almost su- pernatural skill as director has never been shown to better advantage than in “The Bat Whispers,” the screen’s reincarnation of the famous mystery stage play, “The Bat,” now at Loew's Palace. This film, which began yesterday before what was every now and again a hysterical audience, is by far the best of thrillers, more worthy plece of work “Big Money” Presented in at Keith's. THE cynic who goes to R-K-O Keith's this week is bound to leave with a cheer for the excellent picture, “Big Money,” which is so happily and distinctively different from the general run of Wall street movies. Wall street and the underworld play important parts in “Big Money,” but Wall street is brought into the picture without being bore- some, and the underworld plays s prominent part without the usual sordid element.

However, even if one has seen this play by the veteran stage company, or by amateurs from Osh- kosh, one should see it over again on the screen. ing sequences of studies —and the cTeel “Realife” is unusually effective— especially in the shadow-like, sil- houette settings that Mr. West is so fond of. It is the contrasting effects of light and dark that make this film outshine others. The manner in which the camera follows the dif- ferent characters around, and climbs up buildings and focusses on people and events from curious angles is both unusual and pecu- liarly interesting. Whenever the plot is in danger of becoming long and overdrawn, Mr. West twists his camera upside down and hauls back the undivided attention of his audi- ence. In this way, screams, chills and laughter are magnified scores of times, and the result is posi- tively brilliant. Although, as in the play, there is more of the story that is unex- plained than otherwise, although mysterious hands and feet and beards emanate around and about, without any apparent reason, there is enough to be frightened over % make the experience enjoyable. And the actors successfully carry the comedy and the rest along, with Chester Morris, one of the ablest of the younger cinema actors, being strangely cast. On the stage, Trixie Priganza, as ebullient as ever, and Allan Rogers— who sings, you know—uphold the main honors in a show called “Dream Garden.” Sumptuously dressed, this is pleasing enough en- tertainment, due very much to Miss Friganza and other “variety” stars. To complete the bill, there are newsreels and comedies and shorter things which delight the eye and ear. de B. M. “Widow From Chicago,” at Earle With Good Stage Program. LICE WHITE, in the chief feminine role of “The Widow Prom Chicago,” is brought into asscclation with Edward G. Robin- son and Neil Hamilton in a tale of two cities which is worked out with the accompaniment of _racketes activities, in the offering at Warner's Earle this week. Presenting an un- usual t; he is successful in giving life to a story which nesds varjety in acters and methods to {lluminate a threadbare plot. Possessing sensibilities which are not to be expected in the midst of battles for the control of a city's underworld, she shows a character which does not flinch at facing pistol shots and handles the dangerous sit- uations with cleverness and self- assurance. The feminine side of the picture, therefore, is one which is important in the general appeal to the average audienc Robinson, who appears as pinic, leader of the criminal . has had other tests of his ability in important fllms, and always with satisfaction. because of the conscientious work that he puts into the making of masterful and unsympathetic figur:s in drama. In “The Widow From Chicago” he is constant'v in the background, and his sctivities ccntrast with those of Mr. Hamilton, who hes been marked for siaughter bv the gang. The motive behind it all is vengeance for the murd r of the girl's brother, and co-operation with the police i5 a factor in some of the strongest scenes. Other well acted roles are | in the hands of Frank McHugh, Lee | Shumwav. Brooke B-nedict, E. H. Calvert, Betty Prancisco and Harold Goodwin. Several fine attractions are offered on the stage at the Eearle the most prtentious being that of Irving Aaronson and his “Command- an orchestra which not only with distinction, but also engages in other activities, with song, dance and burlesque. Marion Sunshine, entertainer of the headline | variety, ‘brings her collection of | musical and other novelties and delivers them with accustomed skill. Her imitations are featured. The | Monge troupe attains the sensational in tumbling, while Peggy Chamber- lin and Ross Himes offer their | knockabout act with zeal and vigor. Fashion pictures are shown on the screen, and there are short subjacts, together with the newsreel. s D.c.oc. ever been more mirth provoking. ‘The superlative luck of Eddie (Ed- die Quillan), the messenger boy of a Wall street broker, carries him in rapid succession from office boy, ‘shooting craps” and never losing & throw, to the dubious position of “partner” with Ace Carter, member of a professional gambling racket. The experience of “Ace,” combined with the luck of Eddie, amasses an enormous fortune for the two. All goes well until, one evening in a professional poker game, & gambler is shot and killed by one of the players. A few days later, Eddie, though not believed the mur- derer, is arrested under suspicion of knowing the murderer’s identity. He refuses to “squeal” although it means the loss of Joan, the girl he hopes to marry. Joan had previous- ly begged Eddie to give up his gam- bling, and it was on the night he had determined to do so, that the gambler was killed in the poker game and he found himself inno- cently involved in the crime. All turns out well for Eddie and his pal, however, when the police clev- erly work out & plot whereby the real murderer betrays himself. Eddle and Ace give up the racket game and depart upon a double honeymoon—Eddie with Joan, and Ace with Joan’s best friend, a young widow, who succeeds in conquering Ace, despite the latter's declarations that when a “woman starts to roll her eyes at him, he merely holds up his hands and dismisses her.” From Eddie, the lucky young gambler, to “Dapper,” the crooked gangster, the characterization is ex- cellent. Each part is effectively and convincingly acted. Eddie Quillan, as the honest, unsuspecting and lov- able boy, accepting his gift of luck as innocently as he might an un- usual talent, has an appeal which will strike all who love frankness and sincerity of character. “Big Money” is well acted, by an entirely adequate cast; it offers num- erous attractive scenes, and boasts s “plot” which is well carried out and holds the interest to the final scene. Several very good short reel sub- Jects, including the “Rambling Re- porter” in a trip to Borneo, and some close-ups of Hollywood stars, rounds out a thoroughly satisfactory | and entertaining program.
