The dictaphone is used extensively in connection with various plots, and the force of a public trial is added to the dramatic moments of the play. Miss Landi is aided by the excel- lent work of Ralph Bellamy. Neil Hamilton and Myrna Loy. while roles of less importance but interest to an audience are played by Gilbert Ro- land, Walter Walker, Louis Alberni and Charles Grapewin.

There is also an “Our Gang" picture which is out of the ordinary. D. C. C. Nancy Carroll in New Type Of Role at Metropolitan. INJANCY CARROLL, cast in a little more womanly and less imma- ture character than sometimes has fallen to her lot, plays the part of Daisy in *Wayward” at the Metro- politan Theater with a fine sense of the fitness of things. Although the well known Carroll verve and fire are a little subdued. they are none the less convincing. and she rises to the emotional demands made in cer- tain scenes In a manner made even more impressive by the restraint she has used in general in the play. Richard Arlen, as the mother- pecked son and the second husband of Daisy, David Frost, driven to jealousy almost against his will by the insinuations of his mother and the very definite plotting of the man he superseded in Daisy's domestic ife, is forceful and likable, even when most misied. The happy de- nouement at the end of the story brought applause from the audience yesterday. Pauline Prederick, as Mrs. Frost, mother of David, pictures a too dom- inating mother love with strong de- lineation, and Bob Litel is satisfac- tory in the small but disturbing part he 'is called upon to play. as Bob Daniels. Other characters in the story were Margale Gillmore, as Louise Danfe Burke Clarke, as Uncle Judson; Dorothy Stickney, as a faithful old family servant, Hat- tie; Sidney Easton, as George, and Gertrude Michael as Mary Norton, a former sweetheart of David. Last but not at all least, is a clever baby girl who plays the part of little Daisy, infant daughter of David and Daisy Frost. The screen play is by Gladys Unger, based on the novel “Wild Beauty,” by Natcel Howe Farnham. There are several short films, and the news reel shows pictures in & re- view of the Lindbergh baby kidnap- ing case. . C. C. Lew Ayres in Rialte Film, With Clarence Darrow Talk. "[HE Rialto presents two mysteries of life. One is *“Night World,” starring able Lew Ayre es—a melodramatic tale of a wealthy youth who drinks his way through speakeasies, try- ing to forget that his mother killed his father, until the more limpid flow of a virtuous chorus girl's gaze sets him aright with the world The other is Clarence Darrow, re- ng the planks in his evolution platform with a picture full of bug beasts and blology, called “The M; tery of Life" Undoubtedly greater myste dles all murdering “bouncers,” Night World" is the The picture bun- proverbial night evils— gangsters. slugging tinsel-necked liquor bot- tles and teetering women—into s regular speakeasy potpourri Lew Ayres and Mae Clarke, with some really veritable interludes of humanlike love, brighten up a story that becomes a trifle cold-blooded with pumping of bullets into dress- shirted men and silk-bodiced women. A particular word of commenda- tion should be said for Lew Ayres' drunken interpretation and the hu- morous human interest afforded by a philosophizing colored doorkeeper at Happy's night club, where—if I have grasped the moral of this mystery of life aright—no one ever is happy. Supplementary features include a newsreel showing Burgoo King win- ning the Kentucky Derby, and a winsome lass interpreting a_Tilden tennis lesson by counting his “chops™ until she coyly rsuarks after the thivd “chop” that three will be enough for dinner.

Remembering, however, that front page history was once actually caused by similar ptoceedings, the producers delved here and there, prepared steamships and Adirondack scenery, and polished up a picture which is way above the average. Joan Crawford, with a Garbo haircut, but very much herself otherwise, and Robert Mantgomery are splendidly paired in this. A light and bright touch is further added by Louise Clossor Hale, and Nils Asther plavs the heavy. heavy lover from the Argentine who drinks poiscn and is the cause for all the trouble. Those who remember the play will recall that Letty Linton was a younz girl with thunder-and-lightring af- fections, who no sooner recovered from one affair of the heart than she was ready for another. In time love came to her in-the shape of a young Mayflower descendant, and she fell so flatly for him that she decided she would rather kill her- self than have him know about her once violent friendship for a Soutk American gigolo. The gigolo, fertu- nately, drank the poison instead— and, for cinematic purpcres, Miss Crawford is swiftly carried through a trial, exonerated and swent a hurriedly to the altar by her adoring Boston flance.
