On the Screen
Dorothy Gish Amusing q,
Acrobatic Grand Duchess
at the Rialto
BY Harriette Underhill

Little Miss Rebellion" the feature
picture at the Rialto is a cross between
"Such Little Queen" and a keystone
comedy. Dorothy Gish, who has been
called the female Charlie Chaplin, is
the star. Personally we should have
found the Grand Duchess Marie Louise
more romantic figure if her humor
had been of less acrobatic nature.
The picture is most amusing, but not
in tn the least convincing. Miss Gish GER
eainly makes you believe that she en-
joys playing baseball and riding q
jackass and chewing gum, but she
never for moment makes you believe
that she is a grand duchess OF that
she is in love with Sergeant Richard
Ellis.
Marie Louise is the ruler of one of
those little places found only on the
screen or the stage which is described
as being tucked in between the power
full European nations" But even over
there the proletariat was grumbling at
the price Of sugar and rents, and they
sought the life of the young duchess.
AS it happened, the young person was
50 unhappy at having to rule that she
didn't much care whether they made
coed their threats OR not. She used to
steal away from her train and run
about in the woods and play baseball
with the doughboys, and it was on one
Of these occasions that she met her
sergeant. He taught her to play the
national game, to shoot crap and 70
jazz, and then his regiment was or
dered home.
Flees From Bolsheviki
It was about this time that the Boil
sheviki decided to act, but instead of
driving down to the Sub Treasury and
leaving bomb, as they do in free
countries, they had to act secretly, and
in the dead Of night the Grand Duchess
was compelled to fee to America. She
took with her her faithful Stephen.
and from here on the plct is the usual
one, with the ex-queen prying the CEN
che might pawn it to obtain bigger
steaks, being recognized and followed,
captnred, etc. OF course, being Doro-
thy Gish. the queen did not earn her
living as q private secretary or de-
signer. as other queens have done; she
went to work in a quick iunchroom
turning fapjacks. and she can turn
them, too. as we'll as Fatty Arbuckle.
her proficiency was attained by prac-
tising with a coal shovel and a powder
puff.
Ralph Graves the Hero
Ralph Graves, a pleasing young per-
son, is the hero. He says Its q dis
concerting thing to be in love with q
grand duchess" but he did not seem at
all disconnected.
The story is by Harry Carr, the see
mario by Wells Hastings and the di-
rection by George Fawcett. "The
Count OF Luxembourg" was played as
q sort Of epilogue.
The overture was civilian TELL
with Hugo Riesenfeld conducting, and
he vh
so the whole orchestra had to rise and
bow three times.

Daddy Is Asked What Does
God DO With the Old
Moon?' i'm Comedy at
the Broadhurst Theaaer
THE CAST
By Haywood Broun

"Ths Guest Of Honor" which was
produced at the Broadhurst Theatcr
last night, is play about struggling
author, tot and a lovely lady.
William Hodge wrote it and plays most
Of 1t. From critical standpoint it
would be just to dismiss it as a poor
play and an indifferent production, but
it is no worse than four or FIVE others
in which the star has scored consid-
erable success, and it is only fair to
say reportorially that people who liked
Hodge before may very we'll enjoy his
latest effort. 1t is to all intents and
purposes exactly the same bag of tricks
which he has unpacked before on many
occasions.
Although MIR. Hodge interested US al
most not at all last night, we are by
no means sure that he does not pos
sess certain unmistakable gifts for act
ing. We can hardly remember ever
having seen him act. Being gifted with
ease, he had made q fault of it,
He is so easy that he generally plays
his role with his eyes shut, and we
have sneaking notion that he writes
his plays in the same way. This
might account for the long series of
jokes about whiskers which appear in
the first and second acts Of "The Guest
OF Honor" They are referred to as
"lilacs." There is also a Joke about
policemen sleeping, and a scene of
rapid repartee in which the hero
snn sr1sies ear ans pps opponent by e1c'aimlng,
"The Guest Of Honor" concerns. as
we haS& said. q struggling author, a
tot and lovely lady, and we hardly
suppose it Is necessary. for US to add
that in the last act the lovely lady and
the struggling author are brought to-
gether by the tot. He was one Of those
daddy's elbow and interrupted his work
TO ask. What does God do with the old
moon, dad?"
This seemed to US to be the proper
time for Mr.. Hodge to have introduced
his "Oh cucumbers!" line, but he saved
it for less appropriate occasion. He
even failed to realize its pertnence
when the lovely lady said to the strug-
Cling author. II adore poverty"
The author did not achieve complete
success until the last act, when his pub
fishers sent him $500 check for ad-
vance royalties, but even before that it
was evident that he would 60 far, be-
cause he received an invitation to
speak at the luncheon Of a woman's
club. Mr.. Hodges supporting cast is
not good. Graham Lucas, who plays
the tot, is a most attractive child to
watch, but he squeaks even more than
the usual stage youngster.
