AMUSEMENTS. “Adorable” Is a Typical Movie of Gaynor Variety However, the Star Has a New Leading Man, the| Emotional Force ‘Mu!;c’ Is Good and the Old-Time Romance ' Remains Very Sweet and Comfortable. By E. de S. Melcher. U know by the title that “Ador- ble” is a Janet Gaynor film. ‘ou know, too, that it is light, i whimsical and Cinderella-like. You know that in it Miss Ggatior will be pretty, well dressed, a princess if possible, and loved intensely by a man, who along about the last half hour has a fight with her — and then makes up. You know that there will be mu- sic and that the entire production will be as hand- somely mounted as ossible. You ow, in other words, that “Ador- able” will be a cousin to a recent “Delicious.” Personally, w* found it too swee to be altogethe. comfortable. Al- though Miss Gay- nor is lovelier in it than she has prob- ably been since “Seventh Heaven”; al- though she has found a new leading man, Henry Garat, who is just the sort ©of a person to play opposite her; al- | though the music is excellent and Mr. Garat fine as he sings it—there is such an abundance of good old whimsy that | after the first half hour you are likely | to want something a little more sub- stantial—which you don’t get. We may be wrong. A tall, strong scn of foot ball, fresh from one of the Southland’s better teams, has confessed that he thought it one of the most de- lightful films he had ever seen. Going into rhapsodies over it, this two-fisted | gridiron gentleman said that he never had been better entertained, never found a fairer creature than Miss Gay- Tor, never had sighed so and given himself over to the sheer pleasure of sweet sentiment. Lolling back in his chair, he admitted that the picture car- ried him back to his romantic days ‘when he would have liked to have been Garat and sung that “Adorable” tune to Gaynor every half minute or so. Henry Garat. * ok ok % 1If you are fond of this sort of thing— and you have to admit that its text 1s not likely to offend any member of * | the family—you will find this new love yarn a grandly constructed affair. While its theme is so light as to be practically no theme at all, and its dia- logue snuffed under pleasantly assorteds| music, its main asset is the way in | which they fool you in everything, even |so far as the king who turns out to | be knee-high to a grasshopper. You | will be pleased to M. Garat prog- ress from a lieutenant to a general through the virtue of making innumer- able mistakes, and the prime minister giving himself a medal for having been right about something. Some of the burlesque is amusing, but it isn't amusing enough. They have been delightful in a few matters, but not in all matters. And once you have seen Miss Gaynor dance around before a mirror, that ought to be enough, and once you have seen “love” sneak around the corner, that ought to be enough. But enough isn't enough in this—some- thing has been left out. Nevertheless, this is a mild little imitation of “Congress Dances” and one which folks with not an unkind thought in the world will be very fond of. It is all sugar and cake, and is urgently recommended to all love-sick maidens under 16 or over 50. * x % X ‘The cast resolves itself into two—or three if you take Mr. Aubrey Smith's prime minister monkey-shines into it. Miss Gaynor and Mr. Garat are strictly speaking the cast. They meet in the first scene, embrace through the length and breadth of it, and when they're not embracing theyre smiling at each other and singing songs. ‘These songs, incidentally, are very, very good. You will hear them played in every beer garden throughout the Summer. And Miss Gaynor and Mr. Garat are very good. You know that the charm of Miss Gaynor lies in her smile. Mr. Garat, a newcomer from France, also has s pleasant grin. Look- ing sometimes like Ricardo Cortez, and acting occasionally like M. Chevalier, he is an intelligent and pleasant relief from Mr. Farrell, whom we are bound to confess we never cared for very much. ‘These two, plus the music, minus a plot, make up a light and occasionally bright film. It just misses being some- | thing very fine. But then ever since “Zoo in Buda- pest” most films have seemed not quite 50 good as they probably are anyway. COMEDY PAIR IN MAGNIFIED SCREEN SHOW Laurel and Hardy in Setting of Music at Fox. INSTEAD of resorting to the classics in their climb up the ladder of cinema fame, two well-recognized cam- paigners along the comic front have added new and choice fabrics to their material equipment, summoned the mmse of music, and given their undi- videa attention to the creation of hu- mor on a more elaborate scale. Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are, respec- tively, just as slim and as fat as they were in their days of modest achieve- ment, but as the feature film perform- ers at the Fox Theater this week in “The Devil's Brother,” their output takes on new importance. Their maneuvers are placed under a magnifying glass, their deeds are made more impressive bys a screenful of other film people, some of whom are engaged in working out a romantic tale, and they have the valuable assistance of Dennis King, famed as one of the most melodious of singers, with a chorus which is nota- ble for its ensemble effects. There are several reasons why the film should be popular. Comedy teams are rare in the motion picture world. ‘The public is prepared to speed any of that class on their mischief-making way. Laurel and Hardy have an estab- lished place, and every little trick is viewed with affection. Their monu- mental modesty and nervous grins are among the traditions. They usually suffer the worst fate among all in their sphere, the only exception to this rule being in the current production, when they are let loose in a patrician wine AT SYLVAN THEATER. ‘The opening of the Summer festival season at the National Sylvan Theater in the Washington Monument Grounds, Wednesday, June 7, at 8 o'clock, will feature a Gilbert and Sullivan festival program by the United States Army Band, conducted by Capt. William J. Stannard, and the presentation of “The Pirates of Penzance” by the Estelle Wentworth Opera Group. Following this event, there will be weekly festival programs at the Sylvan Theater during | June, July and August under the joint direction of the Community Center De- partment and the Office of Public Buildings and Public Parks. Plans are now being made -to repeat the opera “The Pirates” Thursday eve- ning, June 8, also at the Sylvan Thea- ter, because of the interest being shown in the proposed presentation of light opera in the open air this Summer.

MISS HOPKINS GIVES LUSTER TO BOOK-PLAY Shown in Tale of Temple Drake. TWO casual homicides which create part of the human embroidery of that notable plece of fiction about ‘““The Story of Temple Drake” are mere inci- dents of the book-play, as Miriam Hop- kins creates the character of the woman. It is shown on the screen at the Metropolitan Theater, and one of Washington's favorites touches the heights of dramatic force with her| masterful creative art. She goes be- yond that characteristic of the films| through which the director and the cameraman have, in some other pro- ductions, been able to impress an incident with actors who are only pas- sive or gracefully posing. Miss Hopkins, like the actors who have ornamented | the stage, becomes the character to which she has been assigned. It is an abnormal personality, and doubly mysterious because the woman under- stands her own defects and is influ- enced by that knowledge. Miss Hopkins never fails to give that impressioh. | She has the feminine counterpart of one of Stevenson’s most famous figures | of fiction, yet less grossly theatrical and more likely to return to rational life | after the punishment that has been inflicted by the distress of a terrible| experience. Miss Hopkins has a natural capacity for display of the qualities of a person | of refinement, an emotional equipment which permeates every form of ex- pression, a mobility of countenance which impresses the psychologist, an alertness which means that every de- cision is quickly translated into motion and an understanding of the fear of popular disapproval which colors her quieter moments. She is aided by an | unusually intelligent company, among whom Jack La Rue is conspicuous for his fine representation of the com-| plete self-assurance and relentless cruelty of a leader of crime. It is the La Rue person who takes the featured | member of the company from her home of distinction to life among outcasts.| William Gargan, as_the young lawyer | who is devoted to Temple Drake and | leads her back to normal after she has | rejected him because of realization of her own weakness, does a fine piece of | work, and is especially impressive in | his attempt to examine her in the court scene. Others who are excellent are William Collier, jr.; Irving Pichel, Sir Guy Standing, Oscar Apfel, Eliza- beth Patterson, Fiorence Eldridge and | James Eagles, while a dozen are well chosen for minor parts. It is a play | which appeals to those who admire pure drama as well as to those who appreciate action. In addition to the news reel and Looney Tunes, Mitzi Mayfair and Hal Le Roy offer on the screen a preten- tious and graceful series of dances, with scenes at a girls’ school. o HELENE COSTELLO PLANS TO WED CUBAN AGAIN Couple Married Last Before Screen Actress’ Divorce Was Final.

But this wasn't the twen- tieth century here in Mekazzen; it was about the fifteenth, and such things did happen. ‘What would Jules do to Raisul? And what would they do to Jules if he killed him? Something terrible, something unthinkable, for Raisul was the apple of the Kaid's eye. He posi- tively worshiped him and according to El Isa Beth el Ain, the Kaid was a monster of crueltygnd savagery when his anger was aroused, and very often when it wasn't. He'd torture Jules to death if Jules injured Raisul. Perhaps she had better not tell Jules, after all? But she must, for several reasons. If she didn't tell him, she could pro- duce no sufficient reason for insisting that they should leave Mekazzen in- stantly. If she didn’t tell him—it might hap- pen again. If she didn't tell him, Raisul would not get the horse-whipping that he deserved if ever a man did. If she didn’t tell him, Jules wouldn't understand her wish for a pistol, and her demand that he should never leave her unprotected. Of course she must tell him. . . . But she must insist in his keeping his temper and controlling the indig- nant rage that would lead him to :‘l;ruh Raisul within an inch of his e.

And if Jules turned a deaf ear to her prayers, advice, and warning, she would use his love for her as a con- clusive argument, and point out that if anything happened to him, her plight would be terrible indeed.

Fay Wray has once more been re- moved from the clutches of monstrosi- ties by Columbia Pictures, and this time so far and so successfully in “Ann Carver’s Profession.” in its world pre- mier showing at R-K-O Keiths, that it seems unlikely she will ever again live the horrific nightmares which brought her screen fame. ‘The Columbia executives, indeed, merit a lusty cheer for bringing about the rescue of this talented actress, who is capable of making light moments more pleasing with her personality and melodramatic moments even more tense with only a slight pull on that emotional power she has so plainly ex- hibited throughout her career of com- bating prehistoric animals. “Ann Carver's Profession” (inci- dentally, this is a _somewhat confusing title) is a light and an amusing comedy tempered with a dramatic court _room scene in which Miss Wray plays Portia and in which also she is little short of spectacular. The film gives Gene Ray- mond and Miss Wray ample oppor- tunity in its lighter vein to create a very likable and personable young married couple in which, no doubt, you will find yourself very much interested before it delves into the dramatic com- plications. Some of these scenes are slightly exaggerated, but are held to- gether by Miss Wray's acting. ‘The story itself is of little conse- quence in contrast with the ability of these two, and it revolves around the problem that confronts a husband when his wife has won fame as a lawyer while his has been a rather slow-moving career in an architect’s office. The film reverses the old order of lawyer-hus- band defending wife in court and places the role of a modern Portia in the hands of Miss Wray. In this reversal creeps the improbable moments, but the artistry of Gene Raymond and Miss ‘Wray keep them well in check. ‘The blond Mr. Raymond, last seen in the photographically beautiful “Zoo in Budapest,” makes a role which might easily have slipped into one of a pitiable character stand out as one of strength. _ From its lightness to those emo- tional moments in which Miss Wray is so captivating, “Ann Carver's Profes- sion” is splendid entertainment and places both Gene Raymond and Fay Wray in a starring spotlight. Gene Dennis, girl psychic, who answers all questions, has becn held over for a second week. J.N. H. o o JUNIOR CHOIR GIVES INTERESTING CONCERT Pupils of Esther Linkins in Splen- did Program at Foundry Methodist Church. BY ALICE EVERSMAN. The children of the Foundry Junior Choir, under the direction of Esther Linkins, gave a program of concert se- lections last evening at the Foundry Methodist Church. This group of the junior choir was formed last Fall and has had weekly rehearsals throughout the Winter. Considering the shortness of time and the many setbacks that at- tend children’s training, the perform- snce last evening was remarkably well lone. Miss Linkins directs carefully, with|and Seton I. Miller is entirely different | enthusiasm, and she shows a positive knowledge of the capabilities of chil- dren’s voices in the type of numbers she selected to form the program. The children are permitted to sing without forcing. and their tone quality is kept sweet and pure. They are exact as to time, good as to intonation and the two-part harmony, with which they sang several numbers, was easily sus- wained. Ar effective junior hymn, by Mrs. Crosby Adams, opened the program, ‘which included more ambitious numbers, such as “For He Shall Give His Angels Charge,"” by Protheroe; “Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken,” by Haydn, and “Worship,” by Shaw. A secular song, “'Tis Mother,” with words by Florence R. Hinman, sel to music by Flora M. Linkins, both of whom were in the au- dience, was well adapted to the sweet character of the children’s singing, and was received with applause. ‘The choir was assisted by Marguerite Pope, mezzo-soprano: Karlian Meyer and Margaret Yanagita, pianists, and Philip Capell Wright, cellist. Miss Pope sang the solo “O Saviour, Hear Me,” Gluck-Buck, accompanied by Karl Holer at the piano, as well as the solo parts of “I Steal Away to Thee,” by Danks, and the descant of Haydn's “Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken.” Mr. Wright demonstrated a good cello tone in the three numbers, Gounod's “Ave l AMUSEMENTS. Typical of New Cine: BY MOLLIE MERRICK. HOLLYWOOD, Culif., May 27.—The new generation of the theater and cin- ema is an interesting aristocracy that differs radically in gtery way from the famous that have gone before. Not only have the moderns in the theater a different point of view about their work, but the face and the figure of today has undergone an interesting change. I, therefore, was prepared to find Elizabeth Young, Paramount’'s newest acquisition from the New York stage, typical of the new group which has given us Katharine Hepburn and an entirely different camera type. Elizabeth Young has accomplished a great deal in an exceedingly brief time. She must be more than the 16 or 17 she looks. Born in New York, the daughter of Judge William Young of the Children’s Court, she attended the Veltin and St. Agatha’s Schools and was graduated from Miss Spence’s. It would follow with the average girl of her group, that she evince a polite interest in music and an avid interest in bridge, dancing and night-clubbing. Nothing of the kind for Elizabeth Young. She evinced an avid interest In the theater—an inter- est which took the form of setting out to find herself a job when her parents smiled indulgently at what they con- sidered a rather amusing childish whim. The slender girl with wavy light brown hair and the clean direct look of a child—a look, by the way, empha- sized by the fact that she wears abso- lutely no make-up whatsoever—found herself a job working in a stock com- pany. She made good in it and was subsequently sent for by William Brady, | would perhaps | Out Where the Movies Begin Elizabeth Young, Product of New York Stage, Is ma Generation—Has Accomplished Lot in Short Time. who gave her the ingenue role in “Sat- urday Night.” It was her exciting performance, in- | tense and tragic, as the daughter in “The Firebird” which won her a Hol- lywood contract. The studio feels that in her they have found a valuable ad- dition to the modern group in the the: ater and in cinema. She goes into & picture titled “Big Business Executive” &s a starter. She is 5 feet 5 inches, | although she is so slender that at a | casual glance you'd think she was taller. Her welght is 110 pounds—a weight favored by the cinema. Her eyes are blue and her hair a light brown and of the same texture as Greta Garbo's. She rides and swims and speaks I ian and French fluently. Her one sea- son as a New York debutante has given her sufficient social background for her needs—and it soon gave her a clear | idea that she wanted more out of life | than a round of parties. | _She’s enthusiastic about everything. | She can’t wait to go to work. She's naive and poised—gracious and eager all at once. She found the Beverly Hills Brown Derby a most amusing spot and wanted to know who all the famous | were: but when a camera man for a fan magazine turned the tables by ask- mg.aw photograph the famous Miss Elizabeth Young, she took that as & matter of course, too. Proving that you can't compare this generation with anything that has gone before in the theater because it is a type hitherto unknown to footlights, and a type that, because of these things, and because of its clear deter- mination to get where it sets out to go, is bound to succeed. | (Copyright, 1923, by North American News- paper Alliance, ¥oc.) |4 NEW TWIST TO AIR STORY AT THE EARLE Fredric March Is Star of Thrilling War Adventure. . The unusual success of the film ver- sion of “All Quiet on the Western Front” caused the movie producers to grind out so many imitations that nearly everybody has grown tired of war pictures. This is particularly true of aviation cinemas, which had some- thing of a vogue even before the “All Quiet” era. Despite the fact tha is a combination war and aviation film, however, “The Eagle and the Hawk,” the current attraction at the Earle, is well worth seeing, because of the excellent acting of that up and coming young star, PFredric March, if for no other reason. Aside from the fact that March's performance is one of the finest of the year, the thing that goes farthest to- ward putting “The Eagle and the Hawk” in the gocd-show class is the originality of its plot. The John Monk. Saunders story, from which the pic- ture was adapted, is for the most part unlike any other aviation war tale you've ever read. And as a result the cinema adapted by Bogart Rogers from any of the thousand and one other films of the same general type that have come out of Hollywood dur- ing the past several years. “The Eagle and the Hawk” has nei- ther heroine nor love interest. The fonly feminine role of the slightest im- portance is played by Carole Lombard, and her appearance is as brief as a walk around the block. Marchi appears as a young American adventurer who enlists in the British air service at the beginning of the World War because he thinks he will get “a lot of sport” out of fighting. He soon learns, however, that war has nothing in common with polo and the other sports to which he had likened it—that it is, on the contrary, nothing but a brutal business in which he has been hired to kill as many other men as possible. All this, of course, has been told be- fore on the screen, but there is an un- usual twist to “The Eagle and the Hawk” which enables the film to point dom attained, either in celluloid or on paper. March's superb acting makes it the compelling thing that it is had best be left to the picture to reveal. March is aided by a first-rate sup- porting cast, outstanding members of which include Cary Grant, Jack Oakie and Sir Guy Standing. its moral with a measure of force sel- | What that twist is, and how | cellent number by the Earle Orchestra, directed by Freddy Clark, thrown in for good measure.
