Coming To Majestic

Gilbert and S~ullivan's comic OPP
era, "Ruddigore," which the Bos-
ton English Opera Company will
give at the Majestic theatre on
Tuesday night, Dec. rs. is a MASTER
piece of melody and humor. 1t is
full of catchy tunes. clever dances
and the liveliest of dialogue. Its
story is a mixture of the fanciful
and the ~grotesque and its plot.
dealing with an English baronet
who possesses a long line of ances-
tors is an ingenious burlesque of the
STACEY and theatrical form of melo-
drama which is always popular on
the stage.
Among the most catchy of the
many appealing songs in "Ruddi-
gore" is Rose Maybud's song on
etiquette. during which she sings
from a little book her love scene
with Richard Dauntless. Further
more. Mad Margaret, as she is acted
by Alice May Cerley. is one of the
hits of the performance. This
character is unique in comic opera,
Miss Carley makes the woman
an appealing personality both in
her singing and in her acting.

s.JdoIs of CIayv at Crescent

George Fitzmaurice transferred a
bit of the South Sea islands to the
of Florida for his latest Para
noun production, Idols of Clay"
which local screen admirers have
the pleasure of viewing at the Cres-
cen theatre this week.
Mr.. Fitzmaurice and his company.
which included Mae Murray and
David Powell as the featured play
ers. made their headquarters at Fort
Lauderdale, some thirty miles north
Of Miami, where they used a wide
stretch of beach. Here they erected
a number of huts in the true fashion
of South Sea Islanders. The fishe-
ries, cocoanut groves and tropical
vegetation needed for the general
atmosphere were all ideally located.
Idols of Clay casts Mae Murray
as the unsophisticated daughter OF a
South Sea recluse and pearl snug
gler, who in time reaches the heights
of London society and in the end is
rescued just in time from a horrible
existence in q Chinese den in the
Limehouse slums. David Powell has
the role of a young English sculptor
who has lost all faith in women ard
his art. but regains both through the
devotion of the girl from the South
Seas.
"Kismet,' at Ditmas
If you have ever wondered at the
content of ladies of the harem, you
will cease wondering when o see
the harem scene in the Robertson
Cole production of "Kismet" at the
Ditmas theatre and in which Otis
Skinner makes immortal his ire
mendous stage success.
Nothing approaching the grandeur
of this setting has ever been at
tempted in motion pictures before.
Dazzling in its coloring from the
most delicate pinks. azure and blue
to the deepest purple: rich in de-
sign of arched doorways and lat
ticed windows through which may
be glimpsed the setting sun 1t Is as
impressive as a painting by a master
hand.
The costumes worn by the ladies
of the harem might have been WOW

they in texture. so silky in their
sheen, and so rare in coloring. Co.'S

position of any woman. Gorgeously

cess. Irwin Beds,"a roliicking
~farcical comedy OF the elite boudoir
This story was designed expressly
to cause laughter. and its brilliant
record as a long sustained hit of the
speaking stage proves that it is
capable of accomplishing the tasks
set for it. The film Version Is said
to be even funrier than the stage
production for the reason that the
numerous laughable situations have
been concentrated 81 as to be pre-
scented in about half the time which
was required without the aid of the
motion picture camera. In fact,
according to advance reports. there
is not many seconds when the
audience is not enjoying the max
imum of mirth during the showing
of this p~ho.oplay. and. as a gloom
chaser it deserves well Of the movie
going populace.
The story unfolded in "Twin
Beds centers around the meteoric
career of one Signor Monti. a little
Italian tenor whose voice carried
him to a high peak of popularity.
His wife, who is much bigger of
Drawn than he is and who Is inclin-
ed to be jealous upon the slightest
provocation makes life anything but
happy for the singer due to her per-
sistency in "hen-pecking" him un-
mercifully. In order to get out

the club, Monti has to escape from
his apartment like a convict and
then. when he returns at a wee small
hour, he is so tipsy that he gets all

and mood and If you want
