On the Screen
Charles Ray Has Another of
His Country Boy Roles
at the Riafto

II only they would not call Charles
Ray 1.-THE wonder boy" 1t sounds as
though he were a cute youngster Of
SIX or seven, who rode cock horse to
hamburg Cross, instead of one of the
best actors on the screen to-day.
His work reminds us Of that OF
Chaplln-simple, with deep underly-
ing thought and intelligence back of
every move. More than ever were we
impressed with his fine art yesterday
after seeing him as Toby Watkins in
String Beans" at the Ralto.
The story is amusing and to us the
picture seems without flaw; first, be-
cause of the delight we always feel
when We see Ray play country boy;
also because Of the beauty and charm
OF Jane Novak, the leading woman,
and, finally, because of the direction.
victor Scherzinger never misses an
opportunity of presenting perfectly
human beings in perfectly natural sit
uations.
String Beans" is not the name of
the leading character, but the name of
q scheme with which an ex-convict in
.e'i~N VIC simple country DeO-
pie. He is promoting a string bean
factory Toby Watkins, who scarcely
knows any more than people think he
does, inadvertently illustrates the viii
lain.
one OF the scenes where Toby's boss,
who owns the village paper, is taken iii
and Toby is called upon to deliver said
boss speech for him is one of the
funniest things we ever saw Ray do.
And every time we see Charlie we
think, "Why weren't you born twins so
we could see you oftener?" But as vet
there is only one of him. He has no
mitators, OF if he has the limitations
are not good enough to be recognized

Two wonderful pictures. neither of
which is billed as the feature, are at
the Rivoli this week.
One is Kilauea, the Hawaiian vol
cano, done in natural colors. and the
ether is ashington's Sky Patrol" a
wild, dizzy picture which takes you up
IN an aeroplane and shows YOU the
capital doing a Jazz dance
You see the White House doing a
tail spin (for the funny part Of it is
that you seem to be standing still and
the. earth to be doing a crazy dance
and then, when you can't look any
longer without jumping out, you hide
your eyes for moment, and when
you look again the capitol is whirling
about like merry go round.
You tumble. glide, spin. whirl and
leap until finally the music stops. and
you find yourself back in your chair
again holding on for dear life.
The volcano scenes are startling,
especially with the musical score
which has been fitted to it.
Prizma color pictures are net new
but this is the first Of the pictures
made by the new perfected process to
be shown.
The feature is an adaptation of the
old stage success "The SQuaw Man."
We have seen many squaw men come
and go, from both sides of the foot
lights, but none so good looking as the
present Jim Wynnegate
Elliott Dexter it is who is now pre-
senting the familiar character, with his
old fashioned ideas of duty, his self
abnegation and his determination to
suffer so that every one else may be
happy.
And never has there been lovelier
Diana than Katherine Macdonald. No
doubt she can act, too, but we are not
sure, for her beauty simply bowls you
over.
Ann Little played Naturch, but she
made her unnecessarily unattractive, it
seemed to US. Naturich did not even
look clean. In fact she looked Just like
any sQuaw we ever saw always looks
stolid and ugly, with a shiny nose and
oily looking hair. OF course we all
know that many do look like that, but
we have always tried to believe that
Natulich was different, else how could
Jim have married her-how could he :?
The picture is extremely well done.

OUR ALLY

The situation that has developed in
the far east, especially in Russia and
Siberia, calls for something to be done
to save the peoples of hat vast coun-
try from the folly of their own short
sightedness. They are almost in the
hands of a foe, who, under the guise of
friendship, would tear them apart and
make only a memory Of that once vast
empire. 1t is necessary that the stores
of supplies and ammunition that have
been started TO the aid of the Rus
SLAMS by way of their east front, should
be saved from falling into the hands Of
the foe Of freedom. They have given
UP the fight for their dearest principle
and now the wreck must be saved. The
Allies are busy on the western front,
other phases OF the war demand their
men. Blu one of the allied nations
stands at the very door of this appar,
ent catastrophe. Japan, with a wonder
full army and a first elias, navy is will
ing to step in and do her share in the
world war by preserving the peace Of
the east. The other allies have said
to her, do it. And from her past re-
cord there seems no doubt but what
the little brown brothers" Of the ORR
ent will handle the task in an efficient
manner. Japan is a nation whose help
and respect we can only have by trust
ing her as we trust each other, and if
the other Allies do this with her, we
firmly believe that she will render a
just account of her stewardship at the
close of the war. Japan never talks
much until she is ready to act, and
from her reticence as to her program
of action We feel that the first news
will be of deeds done and progress
made for the benefit of the Allied
cause. This will be another chance
for Germany to feel the strength Of a
power, which like the United States,
she feigned to scorn. 1t will be an
other surprise party like the one she
is having on the Toul sector.
