But otherwise. as viewed yesterday at R-K-O Keiths, it seemed not the happiest treatment of a much vener- ated novel—since, while it may be possible to dress up Mr. Shakespeare in modern clothes, it certainly is not possible to treat Mr. Thackeray in the same way.

So it must have a kick—even if it be a slight one. Three of the players do their jobs with evident relish — Arlen, Oakie and Tom Douglas—but the others are far from convincing, especially Virginia Bruce, who stands in door- ways and looks unhappy. On the stage—the final Palace stage show—a kind of “Privolities” is presented, in which are such fa- miliar and unfamiliar names as Slim Timblin, George D'Ormonde, Tom and Better Wonder, and those week- ly blooming Chester Hale “Frivol- ickers.” E. de 8. MELCHER. Meighan and Greenwood in “Cheaters at Play” at Fox. IT is unusual and diverting to ex- perience thrills in watching the conflict which may develop when ladies and gentlemen who prey upon the pubiic in their ordinary activi- ties are set to preying on each other. Such a situation is a prod- uct of the fertile creative talent of Louis Joseph Vance and is present- ed at the Fox Theater under the ti- tle “Cheaters at Play.” The story gains increased value through the fact that Thomas Meighan strolls through the several scenes with his customary display of supreme self- confidence, while Charlotte Green- wood, in her most fetching moods of robust innocence, proves that she is one of the most likable figures in comedy, and succeeds in giving what appears to be almost a continuous vaudeville turn, with the efficient aid of an incidental company. These two leading characters have the task of representing major climbers in the social world, who still retain the sense of humor that finds some pleasure in recalling a spotted past There is a rapid-fire romantic touch supplied by Barbara Weeks and William Bakewell, and numer- ous other odd characters are played by Ralph Morgan, Linda Watkins, Willlam Pawley, Olin Howland, James Kirkwood, Anders Van Ha- den and Dewey Robinson. They have plenty of work and contribute to & most entertaining drama which borders on comedy “Cheaters at Play” is the story of royal emeralds, which are stolen on numerous occasions, although Miss Greenwood made the original in- vestment and throughout claims ownership. Mr. Meighan is exhibited as a high-power detective, who is trying to reform his own son and prevent the latter's escape with the valuables, while both parties are hi-jacked by a group of real crim- inals. The big thrill comes when a squad of bluecoats climbs a flight of stairs in single file and double quick, just in the nick of time, while the young couple is about to be put on the spot. Among the short films is an amus- ing Laurel and Hardy incident, while the stage show, Fanchon and Mar- co’s “Co-eds Idea,” is one of the best of the season. The performers Those who perhaps are not acquainted with the novel may find this diverting. However, scene after scene of rather maudlin love- making and the wiles of a greedy adventuress do not constitute the makings of a good picture. It is acted nevertheless as it was prob- ably meant to be—Miss Loy being more than a delectable eye-full, and- others. such as Conway Tearle, Bar- bara Kent, Walter (without mus- tache) Byron and Anthony Bush- nell, comporting themselves with dignity. Lione! Belmore as Sir Pitt Crawley is perhaps the nearest duplicate of the original and does the best job. But witness the famous scene be- tween the Marquis of Steyne and Rawdon Crawley—alack and_aday! de S. M. “Famous Ferguson Case” At the Metropolitan. 'EW'(rea!mrnl of a murder is atfempted with some success in “The Famous Ferguson Case,” cur- rent offering the Warner Metro- politan Theate! More atte is given to the trials and tribulations, love affairs and what not of the newspaper col- ony drawn to a village by the slaying of a capitalist than to the suspected slayers. The plot is well worked out. It holds the interest of the audience from the drop of the hat The show gives an interesting in- sight into the methods employed by reporters of conservative and sen- sational newspapers. The scribes of the former papers are depicted as tin gods while the writers of the “yel- Jow" sheets are discredited at every turn and their faults exaggerated All of which provides entertainment of a sort Unlike some pictures in which the Fourth Estate is involved, the plot has all the earmarks of having been developed by a _dyed-in-the-wool newspaper man. Perhaps he shoufd not be blamed if he has leaned over backward here and there to empha- size his point and enhance the box- office value of the production. Individual honors are shared by Tom Brown as a country editor and Joan Blondell, a_ big-city sob sister. The show begins with a murder. A young bank teller is arrested at the insistence of the sensational re- porters.

The sight of this infant being parted from its mother, the mother being hoisted from her home, the father being punched in the rose by the gangsters, are all ingenious devices for heart throbs and tears which have been placed there for the purpose of sermonizing on the evils of certain magisterial heroes. In the end there is a mild slice of happiness—but the path up until then has been thorny and wild and the audience in the meantime has been reduced to less than nothing Chief to be noted in this, however, is the reincarnation of Mr. Holmes, who suddenly. in his turbulent film career, comes up from under— smiling!
