B—12 AMUSEMENTS. Some Fine Acting in This Powell-Harlow-_’Il)ne Film “Reckless.” at the Palace. Is a Story to Cause Sobbing in the Audience—"Star of Midnight" Held Over at Keith's. BY E. de S. MELCHER. O NOT think that “Reckless” is an entirely gay and| frivolous pastime devoted solely to the glorification of Jean Harlow's charms., In it you will find a suicide, a widow, a fatherless babe and other things which are not entirely on the sunny side of life. And if you believe that Miss Harlow cannot move you, then stay until the end and see her plead for her life, her career and her child—three things which she does with such sincerity that at yesterday's first showing the Palace became a mass of blubbering males and females. It is both surprising and pleasant eloguent. Mr. Poweil's “horsey” good to see how well Miss Harlow, William | humor all the more stimulating. And | R Powell and Franchot Tone get along together. Three players of widely | varied talents, they take to each other | Jike ducks do to.water. When Miss Harlow puts in that final tear-jerker scene, you know, of course, that she is the star. But when William Powell is around. the question is doubtful—| and in two or three scenes Tone| makes even the popular Powell-Harlow | duo look a little green. | Since, however, their cinema skill | rests on so many different planes, the | fact that one occasionally outshines the other is unimportant. What is important is that they all work ike a million together and have never been| better, both collectively and individ- ually. The producers have seen to it that the resemblance of the film to an actual and vivid law case has been handled with tact. Although there is no question but that the theme imi- tates the violent drama in the career of a well-known Broadway torch singer. it is never so objectionable as to make you think “How could they?” and it is always acted with under- standing and sympathy. Thus, if Tone appears as a rich bounder, whose weakness for the bottle has plunged him into an unfortunate marriage with an actress, he is not so monstrous as to make you hate him, and, as a matter of fact, he makes an impossible character as near to being likeable as any villain has ever been before on the screen. His weakness also makes Miss Har- low’'s generosity appear all the more eventually, of course, can't stand his life with Miss Harlow any more, he blows out his brains, | leaving the field fairly clear for Powell, but not so clear as to allow the lady to make a living for herself in the only medium which she understands. Eventually, of course, she triumphs. And that's when you'll cry. The film has two or three mod- erately successful musical numbers, some singing by the star and some additional good work supplied by May Robson, Nat Pendleton and Ted Healy. | The whole production has been taste- fully designed and lavishly produced, and is, in plain language, “box of- fice.” WXLLIAM POWELL is appearing in another good film up at R-K-O Keith's. Aided and abetted by tife oncoming Ginger Rogers, whose acting ability is catching up with her danc- ing, he plays the role of another Thin | Man, bouncing around the community | solving murders and drinking cock- tails. While perhaps-too much of his ‘hfe is spent in a glass, you will find him both gay and amusing and more | than capable of handling one of the most mysterious murders that has ever been perpetrated. Even if its solution is not completely satisfying, you'll get enough laughs and excite- | ment out of the picture to make it ' worth your while. | The name of it is “Star of Mid- | night.” And it is in its second week * k x % when Tone | at Keith's, | THE EVENIN&: 'S,'I‘AR. ‘'WASHINGTON, D.

By Long-Hair Persistence INRACING FILM Mary Ellis and Carl Bris- son Are, at Least, Not so Well Known. Perhaps it was the relief of watch- ing a film without being haunted by the old familiar faces, but “All the King's Horses” at the Columbia this week seemed to us offhand as pleas- ing as any light fare imported to the town this season. Miss Mary Ellis and Carl Brisson, its stars, have not been seen often on the screen, a cir- cumstance which probably adds in- estimable charm to their periorm- ances—or it may be they really are as splendid as they seemed. What- ever the cause, there is that much sat- isfaction in not knowing in advance | precisely how the principals of a cine- ma are going to go about their drink- ing cigarette lighting and lovemaking. The unfamiliarity of the Ellis and Brisson mannerisms, therefore, lends their every gesture fresh significance, the fascination of novelty, so entirely lacking in the work of our more popular stars simply because we see them almost as often as if they were in the family. The attractions of “All the King's Horses” do not end with that. Miss Ellis possesses and uses brilliantly an enchanting voice. Mr. Brisson can sing plausibly and dance better, and | the slignt story was cleverly directed by Frank Tuttle. Miss Ellis. playing the queen of a serious-minded king too careless of her love, suggests the glamorous Fontanne. Her perform- ance is more subtle and seductive than | the mimicry of most of our Hollywood hoydens, and she exhibits a flair for comedy which we predict will some day be the light opera producer’s de- light. Miss Ellis is, in fact. much; nearer the adult male’s conception of a dream pigeon than any one [hE‘ films have thrust upon the gasping world in the last year or so.

Play Is Rather Gloomy, but Is Splendidly Performed by Local Group. 1 | Acute melancholia and other forms | of sadness last night permeated the Wardman Park Theater, drifted up| the aisles and floated wraithlike about the carved ram’s head up above the stage. The occasion was the presen- | tation by the students of the King- Smith Studio School of August Strind- berg's three-act play, “Easter,” and all of the sadness was the result of the play and not the playing.

P, Jr. ARTISTS PRESENTED, The President of the Twentieth | Century Club, Mrs. James McClintock. presented Agnes Davis, soprano; Ben- jamin de Loache, baritone, with Viadimir Sokoloff at the piano, in a recital of unusual distinction Wednes- day morning at Barker Hall. Miss Davis is a young artist of rare musicianship and a dramatic tem-| perament. Her clear, ringing voice is free and of lovely color and quality, and she has attained a lucidity of interpretation. Her singing of Carpen- ter’s “The Sleep That Flits on Baby's Eyes” was especially delightful. | The young baritone, Mr. de Loache, | from his first tone in the Handel aria, | proved in truth to be endowed with a voice of power. Vladimir Sokoloff, a product of Curtis Institute, as are the two singers, dis- played exceptional pianistic ability by his sensitive appreciation of the text and settings of the songs. Miss Davis and Mr. de Loache are on their way to London, where they will sing at the golden jubilee of the | King and Queen. The committee of club members are assisting Mrs. McClintock in ar- ranging the recital. SPRING CRUISE. Arthur Godfrey and his 12-piece | orchestra will sponsor an Easter cruise down the Potomac, leaving Washing- ton at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow afternoon and returning at 7 p.m. All nautical Washingtonians are invited. The steamer Potomac dock is at the foot of Sixth street southwest. There will be dancing, and a steak and sea food | dinner will be served. & The play was handsomely done by a cast which was almost unanimously and continuously meticulous. Rebecca | Tarwater, especially, presented a | properly sensitive playing of the role | of Sister Eleanora, who was slightly | emiss mentally but who also was| retty smart. John Sikken and Tor- ney Reese were two others who gave | the drama much, John doing Benja- | min neatly and Mr, Reese being par- | ticularly good as Lindkwist. Eleanor Mitchell, Donna Cruse and John Shellie were the others. Caroline McKinley directed. The play was accompanied by choral music from Haydn’s “Passion,” arranged for a three-part women's chorus by August King-Smith and sung by Les Fauvettes of the studio school. H. M. POISON DYES SEIZED New York Food Control Bureau Seeks Public Protection. ALBANY, N. Y., April 20 (#).—The Bureau of Food Control announced today that dozens of seizures of poi- sonous Easter egg dyes had been made in the Buffalo area, and warned the public against the use on eggs of dyes that “possess odors characteristic of paints, lacquers or varnishes.” Agents of the bureau made one seizure in the Albany area. Directors of the raids pointed out that most of the dyes on the market were non-poisonous and perfectly safe, but said some of the seized dyes contained as much as ', of 1 per cent of lead.

Mr. Jol- Big Choruses and Intri- cate Stepping Featured. Keeler, Morgan Assist. Like the Old Woman Who Lived in the Shoe, “Go Into Your Oance,” the picture at the Earl this week, has its moments. It also shares with that legendary lady a weakness for having too many bright young things around the place, although it is doubtful if the Old Woman allowed her young- sters to grow up to be chorus men and chorines. Virtually all the moments bcasted by “Go Into Your Dance” center around Al Jolson, cast with deadly accuracy as & mammy singer. and Ruby Keeler, also perfectly spotled in the role of a dancer. Undoubtedly ' Warner Brothers expended large amounts of money, time and falent, in assembling this elaborate vehicle for two of their pet stars. It is also | a sure bet that they could have sce by complished as much, or more, | dealing with a stingy hand and con- centrating on Jolson, Miss Keeler, Patsy Kelly, who pops up now and then to gobble the brightest gags in the script, and Miss Helen Morgan. | who for some reason insists on singing her latest ditties with her hat on. The economy program might have left a lot of extras without a gypsy set to dance on, but we imagine it would have made some of us much happier | indeed. | This constant carping about the Hollywood passion for intricate and! pointless dance routines, camera tricks and dreamland settings in the mu- sicals is inspired by nothing more than pure boredom. We have a definite feeling that if the Brothers Warner can afford to toss in 50 chorines where 10 would do, they can also dig up the money to replace all the collars we split yawning during their so-called big scenes. We also maintain the surplus popu- lation clutters up the place and diverts attention from their really excellent principals. In “Go Into Your Dance,” for example, you are offered Mr. Jol- son, the Nation's leading mammy yodeler and a good blackface come- dian; Miss Keeler, who does more and better dances than ever before, but often gets smothered under the ac- cessories in her scenes; Miss Kelly, who is funny in any language, and Miss Morgan, still ace high with a torch song, hat or no hat. Hanging around with these people is a fair way to spend an afternoon. When the dance director’s shock troops move in, Miss Keeler's performance in this other in her record. She goes into her dance more times than we can recall. flipping off a dash of highland fling, a whirl of fandango, & bit of a jig and some clever “dime a dance” stunts. Her acting is improved and son is at his best under the charcoal, but in his straight scenes he does much to overcome a harsh speaking voice and the fact he does not appeal to advantage before the camera. The plot is worth just about as much mention as it has had so far. Something about a Broadway jazz singer who gets blackballed by pro- ducers, makes his comback with the little girl who adores him from afar, suddenly realizes he loves her. She gets shot while he is finding out, but it doesn’t hurt very much. One of the best balanced vaudeville bills in recent months fracesthe Earle stage this week. The hour opens with the pleasing Three Little Words, a modified version of the Boswell sisters, who have been booked for an indefi- nite stay at the house; a rattling good skating act called the Three Cossacks is in the two spot; Bob Hall, the versifying comedian, is in at No. 3, and Miss Gracie Barrie, held oyer for a third week, delivers the goods again with some ballads of a fretful age, rendering them this week without the mike The program closes with the Donatella Brothers and Carmen, a satisfactory ~ musical aggregation. Even Miss Audrey Seiber, always the most refreshing item on any Earle bill of fare, has acquired a special series of pert gowns in honor of this gala week. R.B.P.

Those Shunning Role of Sidney Carton in “Tale of T wo Cities.” “BY MOLLIE MERRICK, HOLLYWOOD. Calif., April turning their eyes toward roles romantic haircut class. 19 (N.AN.A.).—Hollywood's male stars are in a maddening predicament. They can't manage to do away with their long hair. One costume picture after another has prevented the most popular of them from hav- ing their hair cut for some mont! hs now. And producers still are that keep their favorites in the Small wonder there's a little bit of trouble as to who should play the role of Sidney Carton in “A Tale of Two Cities.” Ronald Colman doesn’t want to do it.

But Leslie Howard has just completed “The Scarlet Pimpernel,” and he also thinks that a modern story would be more to his advantage. Fredric March told me, when he was making “Les Miserables,” that he was determined to get out of long hair before the Summer. As the lover in “Anna Karenina” he doesn't get into modern uniform, but he manages bet- ter than some of his brethren, and he is determined to have a present-day story after this one. There is Warner Baxter. who might be borrowed. And the dual role of Sidney Carton and Charles Darnay has long been Warner Baxter's dream. On the stage the part is played by two men—made up to resemble each other in minute detail. On the screen it becomes a one-man job, with slight variation of voice and personality, and therefore a very interesting thing to play. William Farnum will play Ernest de Farge, owner of the wine shop. He was the most famous of those who essayed the role in movies. Henry | Miller once made stage history in the dramatization of this Dickens story. Motion picture producers are assum- ing control of Broadway productions Practically all ma- terial written for the theater is sub- mitted to cinema producers first. ‘Their approval heightens the likeli- hood of a stage presentation of the material. ‘Two Broadway productions were put on by studios this year. Studios are beginning to see the profitable angle on this. If the play goes over, the motion picture producer already owns it and doesn’'t have to pay the price which popularity builds up. If the play is-a failure, the studio may go on and make a picture of it anyway, | but with alterations. One angle of moving Hollywood to the East Coast which intrigues pro- ducers is the possibility of running a Broadway stock company with the stock players they have under yearly contract. In this way they would make a profit on the young players not working in pictures—and aiso build up followings for them. With studios within an hour’s run of New York, a young player could work in his studio stock company on Broadway and yet play a minor role in pictures on days when he had no matinee. Twe of .the famous pals of Holly- wood have been separated. Hobart Bosworth and Cameo have said a long goodby. Cameo, the mous white horse which the actor rode every day for 17 years along the Beverly Hills bridle paths, has gone to the last great grazing fields. Bosworth bought Cameo when the horse was a gay young thing of 3 years. The friendship between the man and the horse has been an amaz- ing thing.

By the sheer appeal of a boyish personality that is genuine, human | and free from the usual child actor's artificiality, youthful Mr. Searl yanks what otherwise would have been a standard horse-racing yarn right up into the indefinable realm of the worthwhile. This boy is one of the | few child actors who is artist enough to make you unaware he is acting. As “Gimpy,” a crippled orphan, young Searl wins the hearts of a! famous race horse owner, his wife and their stable crew when he seeks a home for his best friend. the county home’s wornout. workhorse that is to be shot. Soon “Gimpy” becomes a fixture around the Chamberlain train- ing stables because of his love for and ability to bandle horses. 1 ‘The sequence concerns the pet super- | stition of the horse owner and plunging gambler (Jack Holt), who believes tha orphans, whether men, boys or horses. | cause him bad luck." After a run or' ill luck, caused by a crooked betting | commissioner and a no less crooked‘ | jockey, Holt learns that “Gimpy” is| | an orphan and believes him to be the | cause of his adverse fortune. The| orphan, however, saves the day by | overhearing a plot to throw the feature | race of the season, getting the jockey disbarred and himself riding home the winner in as thrilling a piece of film horse racing as cameras have ground out to date.
