Young Paramount Stars Featured in Film at Rialto, 8 film, at the Rialto, is the kind that will tickie the cine- matic public. The title is “Stolen Heaven.” The stars are Nancy Oarroll and Phil- lips Holmes. And the idea is that if you find, borrow or steal $20,000, meet a lady who is as lonesome as yourself, and, who, like yourself, has had & pretty rough time of it, the best thing to do is to have one grand splurge and then ring THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, friendly conduct under the impulses of an undefstanding and courageous nature. That kind of & play is to be found in “Ten Cents a Dance,” which opened last evening at R. K. O. Keith's. Nobody, after viewing the pictured incidents that lead up to the climax, is likely to object to the perfectly irregular proceeding as a woman Wwho already possesses a husband gives her promise to wed another, without evidence that it is anything more than what had been expected right along. é The plot of “Ten Cents & Dance,” though offering an unconventional OPEN BEACH DRNE B0 FOR GRADING Maryland Planners Receive Proposals for Road From D.

Benevolent in- stincts lead to marriage, and the woman sacrifices her own interests as she undertakes to create a suc- ‘The firm of cessful figure out of & man who has few elements of achievement in his ensemble of qualities. He proves to be a monumental example of in- gratitude and of defective moral standards in business and social life, with the result that she is forced into a most dramatic situation. In the background 16 the man of gen- efous inatinets who helps both hus- band and wife along the way. The strength of the play is in the con- sistently loyal attitude of the wife in the face of failure. In the presentation of such & story, there is opportunity to watch the whole range of emotional ca- pacity which has given distinction to the work of Barbara Stanwyck, the star of the plece. Her quiet but obviously alert approach to the crises again stamps her work as ar- tistic and worthy of high praise, with credit deserved for clear inter- pretation of character, and the abil- ity to rise to emotional demands. The result would be less effective without the able assistance of Ri- cardo Cortes, who is not compelled to meet rwenu equal to those provided Btanwyck, but has the poise and the vigor which give strength to the play. Not s0 well done is the work of Monroe Owsley as the husband, but artistic defects have the effect of adding to the presentation of a fig- ure which may be received with a certain degree of scorn. Scenes in a public dance hall are shown with excellent photography, while a fairly large cast, required for the various scenes, includes Sally Blane, Blanche Friderici (a character player who is always accompanied the members of a Whitefriars fire company in answer to calls and climbed after its mas- ter, is dead. . down the cur- tain. ‘The only trou- ble with stories that start so idealistically is that they never work out. Either the woman wilts or the man | takes to drink, %1 or each one of them turns a right-about face and leaves the other to do the ring-down-the-cur- tain stunt if he wants. In this case Mr. Abbott and company have han- dled the material especially well, so that the intérest is held up until about two minutés before the end. The lovers at that time, however, are in each other’s arms, so it doesn't much mattér what has happened or what will happen in the hereafter. With such a fundamentally the- atric and Y&t not unpleasant story go on, Paramount has fashioned it into & grand littie love story for the two youngest of the company’s dramatic” stars. It is the kind of thing that matinee audiences es- pecially will want to take their candy to and sit back and dream about what they would do if they had $20,000, found such an attrac- tive running mate as Nancy Carroll, or Phillips Holmes, and spent every- thing before blowing out their brains. Although Miss Carroll has had better vehicles at her command, she turns in a neat performance, ex- cept in one scene, which yesterday’s audience chose to snicker &t rather than otherwise. Mr. Holmes is good throughout, but more believable when he has shed the rain-beaten apparel of a starving crook and gets down into the sunshine and the flannel trousers of Palm Beach. the eventual received last n’TM by the Maryland- National Oapital Park and Planning Commission and the contract for the work probably will be awarded at its meeting next Thursday.
