Alice Brady isn't Italian, nor any
thing like that, and yet she always
does her best work when she can don
gay shawl and parr of huge hoop
earrings and snap her fingers under
the nose of some aspiring swain, the
while she jabbers broken English at
him.
Last scason, ms Ammo who ascended,
she was gorgeous, and she is just as
effective as Rosa Mascani in "Littlc
Italy" the feature picture at the
Rvoli this week. She is so entirely
Italian that it is difficult to realize
that her name really is Brady. We do
not hesitate to say that Miss Brady
gives n perfect performance. Also,
that wonderful magnetism which she
possesses and is so well able to throw
across the footlights, we feel in this
picture for the first time. Heretofore
the celluloid has been a non-conductor.
The story isn't much, but the char
acters are real and so you enjoy it.
Rosa is the daughter, of a rich Italian
greenhouse owner who lives in Little
Italy, near New York. He is de-
termined that she shall marry and he
presents all sorts of husbands for her
approval, but Rosa will have none
os them. 1t Is quite apparent that
Rosa is the most desirable girl in
Little Italy, for she has style, quick
wit and bad temper.
She finally, by blunder OF her own,
is trapped into marriage with the
young Tumulo, the other side of an
ancient feud. The first time she meets
him she plunges a dagger into his arm.
"f wish I'd stabbed you in the heart"
she cried II think you did" he an
ewornd Tt socms that if Won c,lt nm
an Italian he loves you madly on
sight.
There is some good comedy in the
picture, too, and the titles are excel

Palace Uses 2 Headline
Substitutes on Bill
Kitty Gordon'S Props Fail to
Arrive; Marx Bros. and Wat
son Sisfcr-a Ccr,,o m Rasc,o


The headline attraction at the Palace
Theater yesterday afternoon was
blotted out by train wreck. accordino
TO announcements from the stage lust
as the audience was settling itself for
q revel OF gowns, jewels and unadorned
backs, for Kitty Gordon was the next
number. Miss Gordon, her company
and all the scenery got caught in q
wreck coming from Atlantic City, and
while the personnel Of the double act
reached New York in time for the matt
nee, the necessary scenery and other
paraphernalia somehow got switched
over to Philadelphia.
However, by the legerdemain of a
vaudeville circuit, the -Four Marx Broth
ers, with their immensely popular act,
and the Watson Sisters were hastily
recruited so the bill suffered no dimi-
mutton of interest. Boyce Combe and
his "tales and tunes that tickle" is mis-
cast in an American vaudeville house.
If he would drop the "Mr." in his bill
ing, localize his songs and patter, and
infuse his act with even small amount
of life he would "get over" with more
effect But the Palace audience is al
days courteous. Ona Munson, with her
Manly Revue" won over again all her
old friends as we'll as new ones, and
'A"A ~ w 0ISoil Jl., MS OaCIIIS DuEan, -
was the one genuinely funny item of
the bill. 1t was Dolly Kay, though, who
carried off the honors of the perform
ancc and was recalled again and again
in most gratifying fashion. Margaret
Stewart and William Downing, in can
Artistic Treat" and Monroe and Grant
were the other numbers on the pro-
gram.
The Four Marx Brothers are topping
the bin at the Riverside this week. At
the Eighty first Street Theater, Craig
Cambell. the American tenor, shares
headline honors with the Cameron Sis
ters. The Fordham has "a Creole
Cocktail" for its topliner, for the fIst
of the week. with Yvctte in the lead
after Thursday. Harry j. Conley heads
things at the Hamilton for the early
half of the week, with Mary Haynes
following him in headline position be-
ginning Thursday. Moss's Broadway
presents an attractive bill headed by
the Seven Bracks.
In Brooklyn, Blossom Secley returns
after a long cross country tour to mead
the bin at the Orpheum. Ted Lewis,
king Of jazz" after season with
the Greenwich Village Follies, is the
star at the Bushwick At the Brighton
Beach Cecil Lean and Cleo Mayfeld are
the bright and particular stars.

On the Screen
The Spirit of TO" Is Pre-
se1,ed at Town
Hall
By Iiarriettc UndcrhilI

"The Spirit Of '76' opened at Town
Hall last night. This is motion pic
ture made by Robert Goldstein and
Jsmes Kelly under the name OF the
"All-American Film Company" After
reviewing about one reel of the pic
ture one is inclined to III NIX that the
name was adopted to foresta!l criticism.
1t seems more the spirit OF 1917 than
the spirit OF '76. In it the British are
presented in as unfavorable a light as
may be. 1t is told how the morganatic
wife OF George III came to America to
lead the Indians on in their massacre
Of those who demanded freedom from
the rule of the King.
One title says: British soldiers
painted their bodies and participated
IN the most horrible rites and mas
sacres, seemingly more bloodthirsty
title says that Lord Chatham was, in
all England, Americas only friend.
Scene in Town Hall
Of course it is only necessary to
wave an American flag to have people
cheer, so it is not difficult to picture
the scene in Town Hall last night
when the various phases of the fight
for liberty were pictured. But why
should it be pictured now, and why
should 1T not be pictured correctly if
at all? The people Kissed violently
every time a British uniform appeared
on the screen. Never have we seen
such = demonstration in any theater,
and the audience went mad when Paul
Revere rode madly across the country
holding high over his head a strong
powered calcium light. And we'll they
might!
AS for the picture itself-well, one
is quite safe saying that it lacks every
thing picture ought to have besides
good taste. The lighting and photog-
raphy are terrible, and there is no such
thlng as continuity in the bright lexi-
con of the man who wrote it. That is
very evident.
First Half of Picture
The first half is devoted to showing
up the British in 1776 and whereabouts.
The second half is devoted to showing
how noble were all Americans at that
time. Everybody concerned in the pic
/ ture seemed to 60 mad in the second
act, and If any one has any idea what
1t was all about, let him speak now or
forever hold his peace. We thought
the worst had been reached a few
weeks ago, but now we see we were
wrong.
Jane Novak is in the picture; also
Noah Beery, Doris Pawn, Norval Nc
Gregor and thousands of other people.

SEEKS REFERRING
 IN CASE OF |. & N.
 TELEGRAPH SERVICE
Precedent Will Permit Western Union to Quit State With out Moments Notice,
 Davis Contends

Montgomery. May Special )--If the supreme court does not modify Its opinion in the case decided two weeks ago in which it held that the public service commission cannot compel the Louisville and Nashville railroad to maintain a telegraph service to 21 towns on its branch lines which was discontinued when the Western Union Telegraph company withdrew last year precedent will be established which would permit the telegraph company to close it's offices overnight and quit Alabama entirely and leave a great portion of the state without telegraph service, according to the brief of liar we'll G. Davis, attorney general, filed with the supreme court today in sup port of an application for rehearing.
 Attorney General Davis urgently re- quested the supreme court to grant a rehearing and at least modify lts opln- ion in order that the public interest may be protected. He argued that the Louisville and Nashville railroad dedi- cated a portion of it's property to the telegraph business when 1t permitted the Western Union Telegraph company to establish its poles and wires on the railroads right-of-way, and that the public obtained an interest which cannot be abandoned without the con- sent of a competent authority of the state.
 The brief insisted that the railroad company and telegraph company Jointly undertook to maintain tele- graph service for that portion of the people of Alabama located on the branch lines of the Louisville and Nashville railroad and that the service cannot be abandoned without the con sent of the public. Even if the un- dertaking was not a joint one, the at torney general insisted that such DOT tion of the railroads right-ofway as was devoted to the telegraph business | cannot be diverted therefrom without the consent of the state.
 l It was also insisted that if the tele' | graph service on the branch lines o. | this railroad is permitted to be aban, doned in this way, the service can be abandoned on the main lines of the Louisville and Nashville railroad and by the cancellation of contracts, aban. doned on the lines of the Southern and all others in Alabama. thus leaving tho people without a telegraph service, ant that If such telegraph service can bt abandoned the express companies ant Pullman company may quit the stat' l in the same way, thus discontinuinf those conveniences which the people ot Alabama have grown to believe are in dispensable to the proper conduct O their business

 France Is as necessary to England as England to France.
