FOX—"“Surrender.” ¢ QURRENDER,” powerful dramatie romance. is at the Fox Theater this week, with Warner Baxter in the | leading role opposite Leila Hyams. “Surrender” is a drama ef uncom- promising truth, depicting the con- fict between a woman's love for a man and her loyalty to her country.

METROPOLITAN—"“Expensive Women.” | "APTER an absence of two years Dolores Costello, said to be more lovely than ever, is seen in her newest picture, “Expensive Women" the fea- ture this week at Warner Bros. Metro- politan Theater. “Expensive Women" is the story of 8 daughter of the idle rich, whose world-weary heart ix comstantly m quest of something to satisfy the emp- tiness of her existence. Her emo- tisnal nature is directed to a young musician, who plays his symphony for her. She leaves him for another in- fatuation. however, and only when one of her sweethearts meets with an acci- dent does she realize which one she | really wants. ‘Warren Willlam, a new screen sen- sation, has the role in support of the star. ‘Others in this Warner Bros. and Vitaphone production are Anthony Bushell, young English actor: Joe Donshue, comedian; H. B. Warner, Polly Walters, Mae Madison, Allan Lane, Morgan Wallace and Billy House.

The Rialto in- |cludes in its program the Universal News with the Talking Reporter, with short comedy attraction | | | “THE HOUSE BEAUTIFUL.” URING the action of Channing Pollock's play, “The House Becutiful,” which comes to the Belasco Theater next week, 20 actual scenic changes are | made, it is said, in total darkness, and some 30 stagehands and a cast of 12 move in and out of the scenes, guided only by instinct and an occasional marking on the floor by a radium-cov- ered row of tacks. The play covers a period of 30 years, and the two wings of the cottage, each measuring & quarter of the stage, are | changed three times. Each new set of wings rides on platforms that carry | duplicate furniture, set exactly as uired by the business of lne play, but howing the wear and tear of age and | usage. ~‘The bookcases are always the | same except for the addition of books | as the years pass and of an occasional picture ‘or chair that has been acquired | for decoratign or comfort. There is | also a changs of drapings and wall a- | per and in the growth of trees and vines seen through the windows. ; | “'The lighting, vitally important. is handled by direct connectior: with three massive _portable _electrical switch- boards. The first cue for a change cf scene comes from Ralph Simone, stage manager, or his assistants. A signal is fiashed with a colored light to the chisf | electrician, who i turn begins = the | change of lighting with a gradual de- velopment that immediately notifies the stage workmen and property men of e approach to the end of a scene. and they g0 t0 out and are finished when they are again illuminatec. There are 400 cues in all, some working on the multiple switches and others requiring individ- ual attention. All stage hands Work in black cassocks, so nothing white is ever seen. 3 Credit for the mechanical workings of the ccenery is solely Jo Mielziner's, and his solution of the scenic problems of “The House Beautiful” is to mark a | 8l step forward in scenic designing. MR. WHISTLER. “Ml, WHISTLER" will be presented at the Netional Theater, next week, beginning Monday, by Laurence Rivers, Inc. Written by Pauline Ho) Kkins, Sarah Curry sud A. E. Thomas, it concerns episodes :n the life of James Abbot McNeill Whistler, the American artist, who was 2 romantic figure dur- the Victorien pericd, and famous for the shafts of his wit and for his contempt—so forcefully expressed in “Ths Gentle Art of Making Enemies"— for art critics and art schools of his day.

Probably never before in the history of the modern theater has one of its beloved celebrities maintained so long and so firm a hold upon the public imagination. Usually the idols of the stage are soon forgotten. But the name | of Maude Adams is a more certain guaranty of affectionate curiosity to- day than it was when she left the stage in 1918, at the end of her tour in Barrie's “A Kiss for Cinderella.” | This is proved by the interest already shown in her engagement of “The | Merchant of Venice.” Lovers of the theater will see in Miss Adams’ return to the stage something more than its importance to the art | which she honored for so many years That something is an emphatic rein- forcement of one’s belief in the theater itself. | Those who have feared for the fu- ture of the theater in its struggle with younger and more blatant rivals are already realizing that their faith in | it was not strong enough, for when the theater rises to its opportunities. when its major artists combine as Miss | Adams and Mr. Skinner have com- | bined to kesp it alive, the hold of its real glories upon the public imagina- tion is revealed, even as in days of old. | Maude Kiskadden Adams was born in Salt Lake City and at 16 years of | ¢ age appeared with the E. H. ‘Sothern Stock Co. and later with the Charles H. Frohman Stock Co, famous in its day. In 1892 she appeared with the late | John Drew in “The Masked Ball"; in | 1398 »s Lady Babbie in “The Little Minister”; in 1899 as Juliet to the Romeo of Wiiliam Faversham; in 1900- “Friday, December 4, 9 P.)
