The Century
Dancers Garry OFF Most of
the Honors at First Per-
formance of ssThe Mid
night Founders of 1921"
BY Haywood Broun

No midnight show offers very much
for the critic to write about. Certainly
"The Midnight Founders of 1921"
which was produced at the Century
Theater for the first time on Saturday
night, is not an exception to this gem
eralization. Practically ali these shows
are put on In more or less informal
fashion at the first performance. The
producer fears that his entertainment
is little too long. After the first
night he knows that it is. Often he
has suspicion that not al, the acts
are uniformly good. The first night
also offers him convenient method Of
proving that theory as well.
Probably there is enough good ma.
terial in "The Midnight Founders" to
make an excellent show when every.
thing has been boiled down. The dane.
ing should be one of the features il
the resulting product. In this respect
the performance is amply provided
The amazing Jessica Brown still goes
on her way as the most dazzling of thu
oS1ooebiS tohSSlo TFio nave Idheu EN-
celsior" as their motto. There is also
quality in the kicking CT John Guiran
who performs some astounding feats
with his partner, La Petite Margue
rite. Gladys Walton and John Lowe
also perform pleasingly.
None Of the singing is distinguished
and none of the comedians seemed
amusing Saturday, although they were
somewhat handicapped by the fact that
not more than one word in two coult
be heard on account of the din of the
first night audience. Even j. Franci:
Dooley and Corinne Sales, long know,
as one of the most amusing Of vaude
vile teams, accomplished little toward
the creation Of merriment. VISUAL,
the show was much more successful
The costuming, while not inspired, is
generally pleasing; the ballet, although
meaningless, j. gay in color.
The most novel feature of the eve
ming was provided by Arthur Donnelly
who made sLadows upon a screen with
his fingers. 1t is of such simple de
vices that the best of roof shows are
compounded. The swans, rabbits
monkeys and the entire crew of shad
ows which Donnelly threw upon the
screen seemed not III the least fus
tered whether people talked or not

In this the king of musical instru-

On the Screen
William Hart and Charlie Chap.
lin Seen i'm New PhotopIays
at the Rivoh and Strand
BY Harriette UnderhilI +.

William S. Hart's titular names are
always descriptive, and usually ALTER
ative. In the present picture the cap
tion is both. "o'Malley of the Mount
ed" II is a fine name. II pleases the
eye and the ear, meaning, of course,
that 1t pleases the eye when it ia out
in electric lights in front Of the Rivoli
Theater.
Now, knowing Bill Hart as you do,
and his capacity for being noble,
wouldn't you fancy that "O'Malley of
the Mounted" was story about a
mounted policeman in Canada, who was
assigned to catch desperate criminal
hiding in the mountains, and that,
when he finally caught him, he had a
who needed protection, and that O'Mal-
ley let the brother go free for love of
the sister?
Well, in nutshell, that is just what
it is about. 1t is an excellent pictul !,
perfect in every detail, but there are
no surprises in it. Now, if Mr. Hart
really wanted to spring surprise on
his followers, some time ne might give a
had performance. But he is so letter
perfect that he annoys one at times
like little Archie used to annoy US 1T
school. because he could always spell
everybody else down and knew the capi-
tai of Oregon. Or, if Bill doesn't want
to give anything but an AL perform
ance, then why doesn't he play a part
sometimes, where he isn't stronger and
sllcker than all the villains combined ?
We have observed in our short life that
virtue does not always triumph.
O'Malley In quest of his youth-the
youth who has escaped into the noun
tains, after numbering a man-outwits
twenty bandits and obtains their pass
word. Then, when they are about to
hang him, he cuts his bonds and es.
capes through the mountains, taking
the youth and his sister with
him. OF course, the youth deserved the

of our convictions, for the things which
seemed to us to detract from the hu-
NOR brought roars of laughter from all
Of those about us. The picture has a
peculiar black and white quality, which
we used TO notice In the old pictures
Of six or eight years ago, but we do
not know enough about such things to
know whether 1t is caused by the pho
Biography or the lighting. However,
you don't stop to think much about
such things as photography when you
are watching Charlie Chaplin pict-
ure, and perhaps the fact that "The
Kid'' has lain so many months on the
shelf has something to do with it. But
we hope that Edna Purviance has not
been putting on flesh evec since the
filming of the picture.
We had no idea until we looked at
the program tnat it was shc who plays
the girl in the picture. Sa9 is quite
changed from the Edna OF 4. .aw years
ago, who was the ministering angel of

prevent the king of the mounted police
from accepting O'Malley's resignation.
This leaves him free to go back and
join Rose.
Eva Nowak, sister of the clever Jane,
plays the girl She is blonde and
plump and comely. Perhaps that is
why she seems to take it all so calmly.

On the picture program is another
of the series of African pictures taken
by the Paramount1Vandenbe expe-
dition In Uganda. They show some of
the native beauties and their ideas of
adornment; also of courtship.
The Mutt and Jeff cartoon is called
"The Glue Factory" The overture is
the Sixth Hungarian Rhapsody. Greek
Evans sings "a Son of the Desert" and
there is dance minuet by Ruth Page.
'The Kid" is at the Strand this week.
This Is, we believe, the first six-reel
feature that Charlie Chaplin ever has
in pictures during the last year that
we hesitate to say that this or that is
true,
If it is true that the perfect picture
is one without titles, then "The Kid
is nearly perfect, for it is told almost
entirely in pictures. Personally, we
like titles, and it is seldom the guam
tity but the quality of titles that we
object to.
"The Kid" is vastly entertaining
picture, but there are some things ir
it which, we believe, were better left
unsaid. Why is it that Chaplin, who
is really an idealist, always has touches
of vulgarity in his pictures?
In this case we have not the courage
