But you will see some very fine acting by its chief vil- lainess, and others in the cast are well enough to be adequate.

ROBINSON FILM AT EARLE HAS COMIC THEME Famous Gang Chief Becomes Victim of Swindlers. WHEN gangsters set themselves to the task of rebuking wicked forms of finance, and Edward G. Rob- inson, often presented as the chief schemer and money maker of & racket- eer city, is separated from his money by refined swindlers, there is material for comedy, and this form of entertain- ent is the substance of “The Little Giant,” presented at the Earle Theater. Nancy Garner, in the stage show also contributes a feature of the week’s program with songs that test with attractive rTesults a voice Which is strong. resonant and flexible and has been employed on the radio with suc- cess. In keeping with the humor which | has been made a feature oi the week’s series of offerin Walter Powell and his orchestra, emphasizing the #antics of Rudy Bundy, make music and fun harmonize with singularly stirring re- sults. Mr. Bundy is introduced while falling off the raised platform on which he holds forth with the trombone, and from that time onward he and the orchestra extract all the amusement that could be expected out of a col- lection of brass instruments. Seltzer bottles form a material part of the entertainment. but the players provide some live music in the course of their hurricane of comedy. Forsythe, Seamon and Farrell, two women and & man, mix songs with amusing action and a dancing perform- ance that is notable for the buoyancy of the young women’s evolutions. The Twelve Aristocrats, with equal numbers men and women, give a strong dancing and adagio act which has striking_costumes. “The Little Giant,” the Earle’s feature film, there is a presentation of Mr. Robinscn in a series of incidents of | a farcical nature, with Mary Astor play: ing the role of the gangster's friend, | although the character that she repre- \ sents has no affiliation with the circles {in which the star of the piece has | made his success. Her acting skill, in | this play as in others in which she has appeared, is effective in maintaining the | more serious spirit of the production, | which is to reveal the former gangster | as a rough diamond and a citizen who is hopeful of climbing to the top by commendable methods. He falls to break into the. charmed circle of the financial world, but wins a bride whose influence is uppermost in the stor: Most humorous is the episode of the summoning of gunmen by airplane from the home town Zo compel the brokers, who have caught the newcomer in their financial schemes, to disgorge. Several short films at the Earle include an excellent Tom Howard comedy. D.C.C. SCREEN ODDITIES BY CAPT. ROSCOE FAWCETT.

WALVES, QUABTERS AND EIGHTHS - oA rRETa Louise Closser Hale, character actress, should be extremely popular in Hol- lywood. She advocates the establishment of a sabbatical year, like that given university professors, for the stars. One year in every seven, many professors are given a year's vacation with pay that they may travel and recharge their mental batteries. Miss Hale believes that actors should travel so that when they play in pictures with foreign locales they may have the backgrounds to do justice to their roles. An extensive traveler herself, she considers her experi- ences an invaluable asset to her career. Workers at Fox studios believed the ultimate had arrived in the current vogue of trousers for women when Lucille LaVerne appeared on the set of “Pilgrimage” smoking a corn cob pipe. Miss LaVerne is the actress who shocked staid London & number of years ago by taking the role of Shylock on the stage. Her pipe smoking, however, was merely part of her characterization of a mountaineer woman. 3 = An unusual “moving camera” technique, worked “in reverse, veloped during the filming of some of the scenes in “Made on Broadwa Robert Montgomery picture.

OMAHA, Nebr., May 20 —In affidavits filed in District’ Court yesterday two members of the jury which recently awarded $12,500 to Mrs. Iva Baltzly of Long Beach, Calif., in her alienation of affections suit against Miss Gertrude Gruenig said they agreed to the verdict only after they were coerced by the other jurors. Affidavits were filed in support of a motion by Miss Gruenig’s attorneys for a new trial. D. F. Davis and F. S. Green said the other 10 jurors told them that if they did not agree to a verdict for Mrs. Baltzly they would wait the required six hours and give her a 10-to-2 verdict for $25,000. for DANCING Don’t Miss LILLYAN SMITH a Pekingese that is top spot in today's humor.

BOUT everything that is needed to| give complete understanding of the | peril involved in life on a submarine is assembled in a brilllant screen achieve- ment, “Hell Below,” the new feature at the Palace Theater. Like other major motion pictures dealing with forms of adventure with which the public has fairly complete acquaintance, it has taken advantage of every little detail and employed all the resources of pho- tography and expert direction to create something that even the closest observer will view with satisfaction. Everything that has been the subject of printed articles or shown in still pictures is| endowed with pulsing life and made to Teveal the cruelty of nature. The ocean is viewed in its menacing moods; the destructive force of the naval torpedo and depth bomb is added to the store of realism; sinking and burning ships tell of the violence of war, and men who face death in imprisonment at the bottom of the sea are exhibited in the hopeless moods that have been the sub- jects of many tales. It is a strong rep- Tesentation of the nature of undersea navigation that has gripped the mind in other days, but is made to create a more acute reaction than anything that preceded this picture. “Hell Below” also is entitled to be recognized as an honest play and not merely a disjointed assortment of known perils. No less effective in en- gaging the attention is the plot that has been given by the producers, with a triangle that offers novelty in con- ception and development; a series of incidents with colorful background ashore to lead up to the tragic life of a wife who is alienated by an officer; the rigid discipline enforced by the woman’s father, who is a commanding officer; the grief and frenzy that fol- low the death of a fellow officer in the performance of duty, and the final impressive picture of the bravery of the man who has almost destroyed an- other’s home. The climax is a magni- fled war picture, echoing the simpler incident of the Hobson feat at Santi- ago, with the performer in the Adriatic giving his life before the roaring guns of the enemy. Mixed with vivid drama is also the excellent provision for humor, with lines and action that rep- resent theatrical skill. Besides the reality and the plot, the picture has been provided with one of the best casts that could have been Lisa Gardiner Dancers Give Elabo Under Auspices of the Co! Rhythmic Int, HE Lisa Gardiner Dancers, who! appeared in their Spring recital | last evening at the Roosevelt | High School under the auspices | of the Community Center De- partment, gave a colorful entertain- ment that stepped out of the category of stydent recital and approached a professional performance. The work done by the dancers, from the tiny Grete Atkin to the most advanced pupil, was finished in every detail and | a splendid credit to the instruction they had received. The details of the presentation were also carefully thought out, the cos- tumes especially being elaborate and | well designed. Lighting effects were | skillfully made use of to blend and | accentuate the colors of the costumes | and added materially to the artistic whole. The figure groupings were poetic | and visualized in an expressive manner the musical numbers. This was par- ticularly true of the two Debussy num- bers, “Arabesque” and “Clair de Lune,” where the initial postures in themselves were an excellent picturization of the idea which inspired the composition. These same two numbers demonstrated the well developed arm technic of the dancers whose clever use of long, undu- lating movements gave delicate form to the evanescent melodies of Debussy. No attempt was made in the program to epproach the ultra-modern dance interpretation. Nearly all the dancing was done on the toes, and here and there the real ballet costume added the airy grace that rarely is attained in the modern trend of realistic dance in- terpretation. Lisa Gardiner danced a| Chopin waltz in such a custume with a | lightness and elegance that was the poetry of motion itself. Two variations, one danced by Charlotte Walton to the music of Tschaikowsky and the other by Kathleen Piazza to the music of Drigo, were well executed exhibitions of this type of dancing. A Spanish group introduced the sel- dom seen “Zambra,” a dance of the Spanish Moors, excellently interpreted | by Eda Vomachka to the tinkling ac- companiment of tiny cimbals on her fingers. Other dances in this group were the “farruca,” danced by Fillis Speich, “Danza de la Capa” by Chris- | tine Stewart and the“Playera,” danced | by Miss Gardiner in long-trained Span- ish costume. A concerted number, the “Cordova,” added Betty Yoder, Helen assembled for the purpose, with Robert taining the best traditions of the Navy, Madge Evans playing an emotional role with perfection and creating a genuine feminine personality, and cholce comedy provided by Jimmy Durante and Eugene Pallette. The Palace also offers several short films. D.cC.C. SHORTENING OF CONTRACT 10-Year-0ld Actor Describes Change | —Approved by Court as “Salary Cut.” By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, May 20.—Jackie Cooper, 10-year-old film actor, took what he termed “a $76,000 salary cut” today. Actually Jackie will receive under the contract approved in court today the salary this year and next that he got the past two years, $1,300 a week, but for 40 weeks each year. Under a previous agreement he was to have been paid $200 a week the third year, $2,500 the fourth and $3,000 the fifth. That's how he figured the $76,000 cut. “Jackie received $50 a week for his first picture work,” said Mrs. Mabel Cooper Bigelow, his mother. “No, mom” the young actor cor- rected, “remember we thought we were going to get $50, but when the check came, it was only for $25.” That was three years ago, when Jackie was just a young fellow trying to break into the movies.

Katherine Maris De Laney gave a Salome dance to the music of Rimsky-Korsakoff, and a clever little duet, “The Easter Bonnet,” was danced by Jacqueline Kitchen and Mar- garet Cobey. ‘The program-opened with the dance story, “The Fairy Doll,” in which the various dolls in a toy shop are brought out for the inspection of two prospective buyers and their little girls. In this long number the dancers who appeared, in addition to those who later danced solos, were Leila Gurley. Marianna Kyle, Georgie Hiden, Sallie Harris, Ann Vu- cinovich, Lora Wills, Barbara Worrell, Marjorie Beall, Lucy Cutts, Nancy Wil- liard, Carol Wentworth, Rosa Russell, Betty Sahm and Mary Day. Little Greta Atkin, as the kitten, kept in time with the other dancers and received a large measure of the applause. Another group number, “The Skaters,” was or- iginal in idea and especially well danced, quaint old-fashioned costumes adding to the effect. Elizabeth Berkeley as a male “skater” was graceful and light in her execution of some difficult turns. Other dances were the “Baga- telle.” by Fillls Speich and Marjorie Beall; “Blue Vision,” danced by Kath- ryn Mullowny. guest artist, and the final number, “Invitation to the Waltz,” in which Jeanne Densmore, Vivian Dawson and Helen Clarke also ap- peared. All of the dancers exhibited an ex- ceptionally well developed sense of thythm and danced with a precision and freedom that was natural and spontaneous. Mrs. Edith H.
