RIALTO—"The Great Lover.” ¢'THE GREAT LOVER,” which ? opened Friday at the Rialto Theater with Adolphe Menjou and | Irene Dunne heading an exceilent cast, is described as a gay, smart comedy, drawn_from the famous Leo Ditrich- stein-Frederick and Fanny Hatton Broadway success, in which Ditrich- stein achleved acting glory.

Other acts are Joe and Pete Michon, two athletic fun- the plantation mammy Ada in *“Southern Syncopation”; Bentell and Gould, dancing xylopohon- ists, and Maxine Doyle.

PALACE—“Pardon Us.” land in fashioning the central role of | usually strong supporting cast includ- | Charles Cole, | Tilford, Ethel DuBois, Jane Gordon, | | ¢ AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY,” The stage show, headed by the fa- | SWitchboard. mous Lew Pollack, is full of melody and | within striking distance of fame and fortune. On the eve of his mumph he is exposed as a fraud and impestoe— yet withal an ingratiating ar< rovaute one. His unmasking, it develcds, is, in the end, beneficial to him, as it i%!ultl in the attainment of all the to which he aspired, including, course, the inevitable girl. “Peter Flies High,” was originally written by Mr. Fagan for Glenn Hunter, | o( the play the author is said to have created a part that fits his star like the proverbial glove. The play abounds | with tense, emotional situations, and at the same time is interspersed with much delightful comedy. The staging has been done by the author. GAYETY: illian Dixon Revue.” ‘HOSE who admire pretty women and lots of laughs may find a show to their liking in_ Lilllan Dixon, the popular brunette burlesque star and her “Big Revue” at the Gayety today, at a Sunday matinee. Miss Dixon has assembled an un- ing George Murray, Bob Startzman, Harry Beasley, Margie and Vincent Scanlon. An attractive chorus selected for grace and beauty gives a sprightly background to the en- tertainment efforts of the principals. Reports from other cities, it is said, in- dicate that several numbers in the Big Revue are eye openers. titled “Flesta” is the attraction. In this revue many well known Loew vau- deville acts are listed that include Car- ney and Jean, Joyce Coles, Nicholas Daks, Carlos Peterson and others. KEITH'S—“Fifty Fathoms Deep.” JACK HOLT in his latest l‘filn’lnz vehicle, “Fifty Fathoms Deep,” L! the screen attraction at RKO Keith's currently. It is described as a story of deep sea divers with no small part of the interest centered around exceptional photography in the undearsea “Shets. Back of this is what is described as one of the strangest love trysts yet devel- oped in fiction. In the supporting cast are Richard Cromwell, he of “Tol'able David” fame; a new’ blond beauty, Loretta Sayers: Mary Doran and Wallace McDonald. The picture was directed by Roy Wm. Netll from the screen story by Dorothy Howell. The first short comedy of the Mas- quers Club of Hollywood, an organiza- tion of Hollywood stars and players, with a cast including over 100 stars and, what is more, the original Mack Sennett Keystone Kops; the RKO | Pathe News, a Vagabond Director trav- elogue and one of the always interest- ing cartoons complete the bill. METROPOLITAN—"An American Tragedy.” the sensational story of Theodore Dreiser has met with such praise and enthusiasm from local theatergoers that this Paramount attraction will be held over for a second week at War- ner's Metropolitan. “An American Tragedy” has been de- clared by critics to be different from anything that has preceded it on the screen. ‘The story concerns the heartbreak romance of a young man who cannot distinguish between passion and love, How this leads him into an unfortu- nate mishap is the main thread of the drama. Heading the cast is Phillips Holmes and Sylvia Sidney, with Frances Dee, Irving Pichel, Lucille La Verne, Orville Mason and Emmitt Corrigan. The short reel subjects which com- | plete the program include Burns and allen in “100 Per Cent Service,” the Looney Tunes Cartoon, “Smile, Dam You, Smile,” and the Graham Mc- Namee Talking Newsreel. COLUMBIA—"This Modern Age.” OAN CRAWFORD remains a second week in “This Modern Age,” which is hafled by Crawford fans as being the most versatile of all her screen productions. Miss Crawford is seen in “This Modern Age” as the daughter of a woman who refuses to grow old. She follows in her mother’s footsteps and in the end finds herself enmeshed in a scandal that threatens her whole life. Pauline Frederick is seen as the moth- er, heading a supporting cast that in- cludes Neil Hamilton and Monroe Owsley. William Tilden remains also in the aecand of a screen series of three ten- nis lessons This series, judged by its reception, is proving immensely popular with Washington tennis players. It is said to be highly entertaining to those who do not play the game. National Box Office.

Gilbert and Sullivan. ASHINGTON will be given the op- portunity of hearing again the Gll- bert and Sulllvan operas, in January, presented by the Civic Light Opers Co., Milton Aborn, director, from Erlan- ger's Theater, New York. This is the organization which, all | during the Summer months, has at- tracted remarkably large audiences to | the theater in the metropolis, and which has among its principals the best reccgnized Gilbertian experts of the day, including Willlam Danforth, Frank Moulan, Herbert Waterous, Vivian Hart, Vera Ross, Eethel Clark, Hizi Koyke and Howard Marsh, all of whom will be here with the organiza- tion. Especially attractive will be the lp- pearance of F: Templeton, one queen of Broadway light opera stars, M her famed character of Little But- tercup, in “H. M. 8. Pinafore,” which is to be staged here. Miss Temple- ton's reappearance on the New York stage recently was greeted with a sen- sational reception. She was induced later by Director Aborn to make the tour of his company, which fortunately includes this city. The Washington engagement will have the added attractiveness of spe- cial “thrift” prices, as in the metropolis, no seat being higher than $2. —_— Burlesque Helping Out.

Ml:uonms of the theater that was are so faint and so fleeting in the current era that it may not be amiss to expllin what might otherwise seem enigmatic. Leo Ditrichsteln, whose name s mentioned in the announcement of “The Great Lover,” at the Rialto, was once a famous actor of the American stage. His art, especially in romantic roled of the type portrayed tn ‘“The Great Lover,” was considered ex- quisite in the legitimate theater. The play also written by Frederick and Fanny Hatton with coplous fllumina- tions by Mr. Ditrichstein himself, in its day. was considered a fine dramatic | attraction. One is apt to enjoy an entertainment | the more one knows about its origin and its history, and this information, brief as it may be, may serve to add pleasure to seeing the picture now at the Rialto.
