LEGTURE TRACES TEMPLE PROGRESS Interpretations in Various Religians Described by Miss Gertrude Emerson. Development of temples and their interpretation in various religions were traced by Miss Gertrude Emerson, co- editor of Asia, in the third of a series of illustrated lectures on “historic tem- ples” in the Chinese Room of the May- flower Hotel late yesterday. Presented to her audience by Sir Willmott Lewis, Washington corre- spondent of the London Times, Miss Emerson opened her lecture in India, from which land, she showed, many of the religions spread. Illustrating her speech with colored slides, she pictured first a Buddhist temple erected in 250 B. C. showing it to be a massive and simple edifice of dome shape, guarded This gateway, embracing two vertical posts with a cross beam that has upturned ends, she declared, spread to most of the Oriental countries, until today they are characteristic features of the Eastern landscapes, Discusses Buddhism. In a brief discussion of Buddhism, Buddha, a prince in India who re- nounced worldly pleasures for spiritual- ity, Miss Emerson said it was “the only ich did not proselytize with It was a religion of peace, she said, and as such spread from India through Sumatra to Java, caus- ing the erection of temples in various countries. From the massive simplicity of the Buddhist temple in India, she said, the Buddhist temples through various architectural changes to the delicately spired structures in Siam. In Tibet, where Buddhism took another form, the temples, which she pictured, reflected the difference also. In China the temples were built in the traditional pagoda style, and Miss Emerson showed pictures of two va- ricties. ‘These range, she explained, from three to nine stories in height. A Far East, the lecturer declared. was their placement in exotic plac of beauty. One of her pictures showed island in the Yangtze River in China, where it stood out in alabaster relief against the dark foliage of the conical terrain. “Temple of Heaven.” One of the most beautiful temples portrayed by Miss Emerson was a “Temple of Heaven,” erected in 1889 and crowned with blue tiles, which today is empty. When she visited it, Miss Emerson declared, it contained an assortment of tables and chairs and, she was told, was used as a picnic grounds. At Nikko, where several in- teresting temples are located, the beauty of the landscape is enhanced by thick standing forests, and the speaker’s gallery of slides pictured vari- ous scenes there. In presenting photographic views of son said they frequently were referred to as “grotesque.” Application of this unless the critic really understands Charles Farrell. Breakfast Lunch Dinner Open 8 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Including Sund; “After Tomorrow” As It Appears at the Fox. ¢¢] ™ 8oing to wait for you until hell treezes over,” says Char- lie Farrell to Marian Nixon in the new film, “After To- morrow,” at the Fox Theater, and, although he doesn’t know it the freezing process almost does take place before he is able to wed the little gal who has patiently waited for him for “y'ars and y'ars and y'ars.” The Piper and Taylor families, the be-alls of the story, are a dolorous crowd, beset by curious East Side inhi- bitions. Mother Piper — whose son goes by the name of “Mrs. Piper's little boy"—is a gram- ophonic old lady who has clung to her “child” way beyond the customary cling- ing years. As played (with great ef- fect) by Josephine Hull, she is the most impossible mother the screen has ever drawn and she is greatly responsible for much of the misery that is pent up in the film. Were it not for the fact that she refuses to give up her son, his love affair with the trusting little Elsie Taylor might have resulted long since in a dash of tulle and wedding bells. But, as it is, she growls at the idea of spending her old age alone, and kicks up her mulish heels at sight of her future daughter-in-law, whom she thinks is “wicked,” because she leaves rouge marks on her fiance’s cheeks Thus Mother Piper—and one side of the fence. On the other is Elsie’s family. Her father, the salt of the earth—and played accordingly by that sterling actor, William Collier, jr—is wracked and tormented by his greedy wife, who yearns for love in the wide open spaces far be- yond the confines of her small Third avenue flat. At sight of & wordly lover (a dark, smooth, in- sidious, iceman type), she resolves to leave her little brood and chooses just the day prior to her daughter" marriage. “I never wanted you any- " she says to her frightened , who is practicing the swing of her wedding veil—“Good-by!" And she waltzes out into the great world, leaving her husband with a heart attack, and her daughter with a kind of motherless vertigo, Eventually, due to an intrepid chewing-gum merchant, who has seen fiL to make love to Mother Piper. the two young lovers are able to get married, but this only just before the curtains are swinging to a close, and only after probably the most miserable courtship on record Frank Borzage has directed this film with great good sense, suggest- ing more than once the unhappy fable of “Street Scene.” His great- est virtue, however, is having been able to create a new Charlie Far- rell. Mr. Parrell is new—he has learned to act. Slightly suggestive of a certain Jimmie Dunn, he now swings his arms normally and com- ports nimself most believably in the fashion in which he is meant to. Marian Nixon does a nice job, too bul somehow the suggestion th: Janet Gaynor might have been play ing the same role kept cropping up, and that partly spoiled the good provided by the also good Miss Nixon. Mr. Collier is, of course, per- fect in his role, but somehow Minna Gombel doesn't click at all as Miss Nixon's mother. On the stage a rather average stage show is provided by Fanchon and_Marco—recruiting the services of Esther Campbell, a clever whis- tler; Juggling Nelson (his hats are his high spot) ; the Three Page Boys, reminiscent of the Slate Brothers: Tyler Mason, comedian, and Bruce Jordan and Harry Van Fossen.

ARRYMORE experience and abil- ity to interpret character have no handicap in undertaking the chief roles of “Arsene Lupin,” a play which has gathered into a single plot many of the recognized and well tested devices of the approved detective story. The rapid succes- sion of situations offers the best of the inventions of French and Amer- ican fiction, whose chief purpose is to show that for each clever crook there is an equally skillful repre- sentative of the law to destroy the work of crime. With a classic example of the penetration of social circles by the professional robber, Loew’s Palace Theater offers for the week a pro- duction that carries its own fascina- tion for the theatergoer, with climax after climax in a practical study of the cleverness of the master crim- inal and the masterful protector of the public, With the engagement of John and Lionel Barrymore for the chief roles there is an exhibition of character work that offers the high satisfac- tion of observing the best skill of the screen in relief against a back- ground of one of the great incidents of 'I?houcc work. ere is no reason why there should be any comparison }l})etween the film labors of the two brothers, Schooled in the same environment. they have developed their individual styles, both of which are valuable contributions to a play of action. Lionel's experience in the develop- ment of plots and in the interpreta- tion of character roles is brought to fruition of & most commendable sort in “Arsene Lupin” while John's popularity as a versatile artist in heroic mold gives to the play a dis- tinction which matches the visible shrewdness of his brother, In the course of the story, John Barrymore smoothly reveals his per- sonality in a multitude of ways. all of them contributing to the mystery involved, while his little excursion into romance in the midst of the Telentless operations of theft on g large scale, even to the taking of a famous work of art, gives to the production & minor interest which is an appeal to the emotions of the average theatergoer Associete actors in the cast are the capable John Miljan and Tully Marshall, while the woman who figures largely in the plot is depicted effectively by a fine display of feminine skill that is achieved by Karen Morley, well endowed with the ability to combine the superficial deceptions of intrigue with a more moving response to human senti- ment. The stage show at the Palace is of average merit. It moves rapidly under the direction of Freddie Ber- nard, who also sings with good effect, and introduces various enter- tainers, in popular radio impersona- tions which are found effective also in vaudeville. Tt is titled “Impres- sions of 1932," and includes acts which engage the talents of Walter Dare Wahl, Paul Small, Rita Delano, Henry Johnson and Frankie Pinn. The Chester Hale Girls contribute to the —ensembles. The overture, “Melodies of the Emerald Isle,” di- rected by Harry Borjes, conductor of the orchestra, is well done. There is also a Fitzpatrick 'I‘m\'elts]k 2 . C. “Racing Youth” Shown at the Rialto. PROBABLY the most elaborate exhibition of automobile racing ever shown, either in real life or in the realm of the films, has been nade the chief feature of “Racing Youth,” which is offered at the Ri- alto Theater, with Slim Summer- ville and Louise Fazenda as its stars. Even without considering the fea- tures of the play itself, there is enough continuous action in this \brl of the story to make the pro- durtion effective and worthwhile. ‘There are neck-and-neck brushes, tiple collisions and wrecks, a e falling over an embank- ment, and cheering crowds to urge - Secretary of Treasury Mills will dis- The Speckled Band,” from cuss the new tax bill under consider: tion in the House in a broadcast du: ing the Institute of Public Affairs pro- gram, at 10 o'clock.

It is all dome with photography Lkallproduces a series of splendid thrills, Slim Summerville has a stuttering role, which is a factor in comic sus- pense, while Miss Fazenda has about the most subdued character that has ever fallen to her lot. The latter fact is chiefly due to the con- ception of the writer that a con- test over the contrcl of an auto plant should depend upon a certain degree of deception as to the iden- tity of the feminine owner and her companion, who must appear in a role which is not rightfully hers. In the contacts between the chief characters there is a certain amount of humor, but it is evident that the strongest interest in the play cen- ters in the contest of skill on the big track where the races are run Associated with the stars are June Clyde and Frank Albertson, whose rapidly moving romance does not stop at the race track, but extends to a real race to the dock of a liner, where both srrive just too late to embark, but just in time to discover that luck was operating to their future satisfaction. Short films at the Rialto include an entertaining Mack Sennett com- edy, involviug a pair of newlyweds, and the newsreel, which presents strong features of the latest news stories. D. C. C. “Arrowsmith” Continues at the Columbia. THE popularity of Sinclair Lewis' thesis and the renown attached to the acting of Ronald Colman, as well as the fragile yet potent art of Miss Helen Hayes, are the reasons for the second week of “Arrowsmith,” which continues its successful career at Loew's Columbia Theater. A drama of medicinal exploitation and much grimness in the manner of its delivery, it is one of the more forceful films of the year, a sterling example of how the screen can adopt a novel with shrewdness and intelligence. Mr. Colman and Miss Hayes, in addition to Richard Bennett and A E. Anson, combine to give Mr. Lewis' story its full measure of success. A rather depressing narrative of the penalty which the famous so often have to pay, yet, ending on an idealistic note, it reveals the struggle of a young doctor who chose to live for science rather than for the more glorifying and less permanent exist- ence of the ordinary “man of medi- cine.” By eschewing the easier path of becoming a lady’s pill merchant, Dr. Arrowsmith (as those who have read the novel will recall) fights the good fight in the hope of contribut- ing something to the cause of in- vention and science. And when he does, although everything has fallen from around him, a home and a wife and peace of mind, he resolves to continue that fight unmolested and without benefit of the frenzied ap- plause of the multitude. An interesting film, executed with care, and revealing few faults (ex- cept in the case of the siren-vamp), “Arrowsmith” seems perhaps not so great as it is said to be, yet not- withstanding it is compelling, if de- pressing, from first to last E. de 5. M. “Broken Lullaby” Remains at the Metropolitan. ’I‘HE second week of “Broken Lul- laby,” once called “The Man I Killed,” which is now being shown at Warner’s Metropolitan, brings to mind the efficacy of that veteran actor, Lionel Barrymore, who may be seen more than once, at this time, along the local boulevards. Mr. Barrymore’s valiant portrayal of the kindly old German Herr Doktor in this film, is the main reason for its existence, other than the occasional ly brilliant camera work supplied by the imagination of Mr. Lubitsch and the camera man. The story, a curious novelesque treatment of a morbid theme, con- cerning a young Frenchman who kills a German and wishes to repent for his “crime” thereafter by reveal- ing his act to the family of the dead youth, has been treated with sin- cerity, but falls somewhat short of the importance that somehow might have been attached to it. Due, per- haps, to the work of Phillips Holmes, and the normal red-haired Nancy Carroll, who seems too much of a Manhattan fraulein for her fatherland, the film is several jots less than perfect. In fact, the final “shot,” with Mr. Holmes tiiting his head over a violin and soothing the distressed German family by the nimbleness of his playing, is one of those things which just doesn't It it had been any one else but Mr. Holmes—but, unfortunately, that inscrutable expression of his just doesn’t go with a_fiddle.
