where Lord Loan awakes on the island
hungry. He discovers, high up on the
top of palm tree, some coconnuts.
While he watches some monkeys
come out of the woods and start to
pick the cocoanuts visions of his youth
and of the Swiss Family Robinson"
come to his mind and he knows that
by all the laws of tradition if he
throws stones at the monkeys they
might retaliate by throwing cocoanuts
at him. Only it doesn't work out that
way. Instead the head OF the family
climbs down and attacks him and he
escapes on all fours through the
jungle. AS he crawls to place Of
safety his whole family, taking him
for wildcat, set on him with stones,
sticks and other improvised weapons.
Raymond Hatton has an amusing
part in the Hon. Ernest Wolley,
always making 2uns. Robert Cain as
Lord Brockelhurst, Lila Lee as Tweeny
and long list of other well-known
players are in the cast.
Gloria Swanson does excellent work
as Lady Mary. but we refuse 70 in
dorse her gowns of which so much has
been said. Her costume as the Chris
Babylon was truly magnificent, and
becoming, even if scant. But Miss
Swanson always looks as if she were
going to a fancy dress ball when she
is only going to have dinner quietly
IN her own home.
At the end of the picture a small
boy in uniform comes out and says
something about "Im sure you'll like
this picture. every one, male and
female" or words to that effect
The overture is "Oberon" and there
is a dance poem, "At the Fountain"

Rialto the name has been retained, but
that is all. The picture is presumably
made from Joseph Conrad's "Victory,"
but it is not in the least like it.
Now. we are not a Conrad fan. In
the first place, we do not care for sea
stories and in the second place, we do
not like to be depressed. We like
stories in which we can classify the
people and label them as "the man we
met last summer on our vacation" "the
woman we met in Bermuda" "the jani-
tor, "the star reporter" or "the movie
STAR but Conrad always introduces
to us strange, vague people who smile
wanly and die without ever having let
us into any Of their secrets.
But, II you donC care Tor conrad ;
"Nictroy." at least it is different
nothing happened that you wanted tc

see the picture and things happen as
you expect them to, you are sorry, but
you think it serves you right for set

not going to like the picture at all, fol

Philharmonic PIeuses
In First Sunday Concert
Varied Program Is Offered
at Carnegie Hall and In
cludes Wagnerian Numbers

For the ordinary lover of good or
chestral music, by which is meant the
man or woman who is less concerned
with curious questionings touching the
progress of the art than with enjoy
ment of the examples which have long
given pleasure, the first Sunday after
noon concert of the Philharmonic So
ciety was finely contrived by Mr..
Stransky. In the list was the fifth
symphony of Beethoven, the most often
played of the immortal nine and the
most convincing demonstration of the
fact that in the case of music which is
truly great familiarity breeds ever
growing love and admiration. Grouped
with this were four Wagnerian ex-
cerpts and Tschaikotfsk Romeo and
Juliette," which the composer, because
it was too free in formal structure to
be called an overture, denominated q
fantasia overture.
The Wagner numbers were Of the

On the Screen
Shipwreck Scenes in ''Male and
Female" Adaptation of Play
by Barrie, Prove Realistic
By Harriette Underhill

If you can only forget that name,
male and Female" which somebody
has tackled on to Barrie's charming
play, "The Admirable Crichton," you
are going to be delighted with the
screen version, presented at the Rivoli
this week
And we must say that Cecil De Mile
had the courage of his convictions. for
of all the peculiar cognomens which
have been given to a picture this prob
ably has received the greatest amount
of criticism.
Whether the picture adhered to the
plans laid out by the play we cannot
say, not having seen the play, but prob
ably 1t did, for it had no happy end
lng.or at least not the happy ending
furnished by dyed-in-th the-wool movie
meaning that "hc'' and "she" did not
marry.
Jeanie Macpherson made the scenario
and the picture was directed by Mr.. De
Mile himself
AS is usual in De Miles pictures,
there is no star, although Thomas
Meighan is just naturally going to take
his place as the star of any picture he
appears in now, just as he naturally
became king when the family found
themselves shipwrecked on the lonely
island.
We have an appointment to inter
view Gloria Swanson on Tuesday, and
can hardly wait to ask her how they
managed those shiDwreck scenes. They
certainly were the most realistic we
ever saw
Mr.. De Mile has taken all the film
he wanted for the picture, but one
cannot help wondering what would
have happened if he had been required
to keep it down to Feature length !"
which means an hour; as it is it runs
for nearly two hours and is the only
picture on the program at the Rivoli
this week
Tommy Meighan, of course, plays the
butler. Crichton. but even at first he
never seemed at all like a butler Per
haps he was meant to be that way,
but there was no mistaking the pro
fcssion of the chauffeur who married
Lady Mary's friend
1t was apparent as soon as one set
eyes on Crichton that he was a born
leader, and when the isolation was
thrust upon the Loan family it was
not difficult to predict who would be
king.
The picture is directed with all of
the delightful humanness and humol

Hindenburg Bitter
When .4rnay Is Cut
To Mere Police Force

LONDON, Feb. IS (By The Asso-
ciated Press) -Adviccs received from
Berlin by way of Basel to-day are to
the effect that the Pan German mill
tary party, headed by Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg, bitterly resents the
new clauses in the armistice, espe-
cially those limiting the German army
to the size of a simple police force,
the supervision of control of ammuni-
tlon factories and the demand that Ger
many pay the expenses OF the allied
armies Of occupation on the Rhine
These conditions, it is complained,
will throw out of work thousands of
German officers, from generals down
ward, while the army of 6O0A0 volun-
teers, reported by the GermW press to
have been organized must be dis
banded
a belated Amsterdam dispatch says
that, according to Berlin advices. Presi-
dent Erzberger. of the German armis-
tce commission, handed to the Allied
commission a note describing as pure
invention" the report that Germany was
not demobihzing and had assembled

you agree to penalize Germany and
take measures to protect from her not
only the United States, but also those
many backward and embryonic states
which formerly were Russia and which
now promise to fall an easy prey to
Germany's industrial, commercial and
probably political activities"
The French argument is that the ex-
ploitation of these Russian territories
would ultimately more than compen-
safe Germany for any reparations she
might be required to pay.
If the French delegates assume this
position, which is but step beyond
the stand they have already taken the
Presidents supporters probably will
endeavor to give the American people
the impression that France is delaying
the consummation of peace. That the
American delegation is now endeavor-
