In other words—a swell show! E. de 8. M. Barthelmess in “The Lash” ‘With Strong Acts at Earle. RmN!:D Richard Barthelmess as a bandit would be considered unique were it not for the fact that in “The Lash” at the Earle he repre- sents a Spanish aristocrat who is forced into the outlaw class by legal- ized imposition, and the additional fact that as an actor of high rank he is fully prepared to undertake the role. Admirers of this screen star, therefore, are privileged in this picture version of the !‘rfletd t novel an steady form of action, that strength of expression and the poise that have characterized his many appearances on the screen. “The Lash” is a series of inci- dents staged in Pl California in the days immediately following the acquisition of that ter- ritory from Mexico. Most effective of the scenes that have been ar- ranged under -the directorship of Prank Lloyd is a great cattle stam- pede, which is impressive throughout and results in e wrecking of a whole settlement., Less spectacular but on a similarly large scale is the flesta, arranged in celebration of the return of the hero of the story from college in Mexico City. It has the musical and pictorial incidents of these popular events of the South- west. !

Richard Barthelmess appears as a member of one of these despoiled families and engages in thrilling battles with the invaders. Mary Astor, who is cast opposite the star, performs in her usual finished s*7le, while & second couple, closely asso- ciated, is played by Marian Nixon and James Rennie. Fred Kohler, as a land office swindler and robust politician, is am excellent character actor in the plece. All of the scenes are well done, and the company in- cludes Barbara Bedford, Robert Ede- son, Arthur Stone, Mathilda Comont and Erville Alderson. Chief number on the stage pro- gram is the elaborate act under the direction of the Russian musical star, Dave Apollon, who is surrounded by a company of instrumentalists, sing- ers and dancers, and offers enough unique features to fill an ordinary program. . Eddie Pardo and his “jesters” add to the musical merit of the show, and also contribute some jazz comedy. Some of the best taut- wire work that the stage offers is shown by Con Colleano. A fashion show, screened, and the news reel complete the program. . C. “The Bat Whis) ” at the Metropolitan. TH’E silvery shadow of the bat is again sending the creeps to a thrill-loving public. Starting with an 11 o'clock performance yesterdey at the Metropolitan, “The Bat Whis- pers” seen in Washington a few ‘weeks ago, is continuing to draw the large audiences for which the clev- erest of mystery plays has for many years been famous. An adequate cast, featuring Ches- ter Morris and Una Merkel, has been chosen to interpret the screen ver- sion of Mary .Roberts Rhinehart's pogomrn story, “The Bat.” seen the stage play & ago, but .have not yet the cinema produc , an entertaining and satisfactory gripping entertain- ment is in store. Employing all the weird devices and spectacular effects possible ~with screen productions, “The Bat Whispers” makes even bet~ ter entertainment than the play, “The Bat.” The continued survival of this almost moss-grown mystery play speaks well for the good s ship of the public, for apparentl from stifled shrieks and muffied ej: few years ‘witnessed hout the ai dience, the identity of the bat con- tinues to be a mystery to many seeing the play for the first time. It is obvious that those who have already seen the production have complied with requests not to tell others the ending of the story. A Graham McNamee news reel and other short subjects complete the program. G. 8. 8. —_—— Beefsteaks Graded by Tests. A machine has been inventsd to test the toughness of beefsteaks. A dial attached to the blade of the instrument records the degree of difficulty th= blade encounters in eutting through the tissue of the meat. LOCAL SYMPHONY GROUP WILL PLAY Unemployed Musicians of City to Broadcast Program Over WMAL. ‘The Little Symphony Orchestra, born of lack of regular employment for local professional musicians, and given the title of the National Unemployment Symphony hestra, will make its debut on the air with a program to be broadcast this evening over WMAL, from 6 to 7 o'clock. ‘The local broadcasting station will sponsor this effort which, aside from providing employment for the band of musicians, has as a companionate ob- Jective the development of a permanent symphony orchestra for Washington. WMAL will broadcast weekly programs offered by the symphony organization and these, it is announced, will be principally of classical type of con- certs, ‘The initial presentation this evening is in the nature of an advertisement of the first personal appearance of the orchestra, to be made at the Jewish Community Center next Sunday at 8:30, rehearsals for which already are under way.

In the presentation next Sunday, it is announced, the orchestra will be as- sisted by Miss Helen Howison, soprano. — - New Fruit in New South Wales. Resembling an . orange flattened at each side like a tangerine and having a taste distinctly tangerine with the tang of the grape fruit, a new fruit has appeared in New South Wales at & government farm ‘at Victoria. It was produced by cross-pollenization of the tangerine and the grape fruit. It has not been named and there is only one tree. It is estimated that it will take seven years to produce a crop suffi- clent to supply the market.
