HUTH O'BRIEN LAMP WEDS L. E. FLAHERTY Mrs. Ruth O'Brien Lamp, 1615 Crit- tenden street, and L.

He is a screen actor who specializes in the, prcblem of forcing the truth from re- luctant lips without employ- ing ‘the cruder method of the third degree. He has the art of sugar-coating unpalatable facts with the s00thing ma- terial of which ‘wisecracks are made. As shown at the Fox in “The Black Camel,” Mr. Oland ex- tends the ac- quaintance of his audiences with the Jjoyous experiences of Charlie Chan, whose chief delight in life is to demonstrate that :nnnlng crimes cannot be committed in his terri- tory without, the penalty of ultimate publicity. As usual, he is dealing with brazen offenses which seem at first to be too elusive for any one, however smart, to discover the source. As usual, it is the trivial incidents that furnish the clues. In this new version of the work of Earl Derr Biggers; called “The Black Camel,” & term which signifies death, the place at table which was oc- cupled by the murderer is a real factor in determining the guilt or innocence of a whole group of peo- ple. In the course of the proceed- ings, there is the usual patter of Charlie Chan's penetrating thoughts, some familiar faces are observed in the environment and the back- ground of Pacific Islands is a means of contributing to entertain- ment. Among the leaders in the assisting cast are Sally Eilers, Bela Lugosi, Dorothy Revler. Vietor Varconi and Marjorie White. ‘The stage performance lt the Fox for the week, dealing with aviation under the-title, “Top o' the World,” is notable for the almost limitless tricks of the stage and sight effects that are introduced by Gene Morgan, ‘who supervises the performance and contributes his own share to the re- sults. Some of the highly colored formations by the le‘fiun and Warner Oland. Marco dancers are cleverly devoted to the representation of "airplanes and their activities, with striking ef- fects. Among the individual dance performances are those by Fawn and Jardon and by Russell and Johnson. It was a coincidence that Bob Hamilton. organist of the Fox, com- peted with nature in the representa- tion of a vigorous thunderstorm, with the ald™of the organ and one explosion. The orchestra members ‘were individually introduced, in their part of the program, for a wide range of solos vreeedlng the en- semble, . C. C. Lew Ayres at Keith's in Monta Beil's Own Story. A CCORDING to report the “locale” of “Up for Mufder” is our own monumental city, Washington. Here may be seen a newspaper “cub” smitten by the lithsome wiles of & demi-mondaine, semi-blondine soci- ety editor, whose charms have been his own—he throws miniature / statue nh!.menammp?omo into another world. For this deed the ( lad is ‘brought “up for murder”; ia Jail; sleeps sleepless mnm. and awakes one morning to the noose hovering over him becluu he has not been willing to bring his lass into the case. Eventually there is retribution. The hdy confesses the horrid triangle; the boy walks out of jail on the arm of his mother and goes hme to find a birthday cake and the demoiselle of his heart waiting for him .outside. . Young Mr. Ayres, whose baby fage is his' fortune, has not bzen :Iveu much to bolster histrionic rej tation. He wanders throujh m film—at . Mr. Bell's suggestion—as though & ghtst were before or be- hind him, and even in the big fight he is not allowed to do more than throw the statue, and have his knee- caps filmed in the rest of the strug- gle. A young, capable and sincere . actor, Mr. Ayres is rather swept aside by the much larger role allot- ted to Genevieve Tobin, who is the soclety editor . with the bejeweled fingers. Miss Tobin is clever in her part, but not as devastating in her per- sonal charms as one could wish. ‘The fact that murder and whatnot fi committed for her is hard to be- eve. The remainder of the cast, nota- bly Frank ‘McHugh as the reporter who can’t get’away from borrowing $2, is “plenty good,” and while neither the situations nor the mth- od of attack seems do much toward assuaging the Sum- mer’s thirst. Short subjects, including pictures of recent Negro baptisms in the Pctomac, conclude a bill which has many possibilities. E. de 8. mcm MAJ.
