THE MEANINGLESS PHRASE

Taking this as a text DR.. Frank
Crane, himself good phraser,
breaches a sermon on the battle of
catch phrases, which he says is rag
ing constantly. People no longer ar
que, DR.. Crane thinks. but hurl catch
phrases; they do not believe and dis
believe, they yell war cries at each
other. Some of the skirmishes Of the
battle are thus described

Joe Marks is one of the few

Cecil p. DeMrle's .Mansi.usster..


Cecil B. DeMille and Douglas
naries OF the photoplay heavens,
share one particular thing in COM
mon and that is their ability to
have each succe eding picture that
they make rank as their greatest,
and with Justice. II Is certainly
impossible u remember. in the case
OF DeMille. any previous story
which attains the heights Of beauty
and drama that he has incorporated
into "Manslaughter." his latest pro-
duction, and the public appears to
feel the same way about it. for
,"Manslaughter" yesterday began
its second weeks engagement at
the Columbia under particularly
splendid auspices.
Granddaughter" is Mr.. DeMille's
! personally directed cinema version
of the famous novel of the same
nams by Alice Duer Miller. 1t has
been scenarized by Jeanie MacPher-
son. who seems to excel in the Gre
alton OF situations which call forth
the DeMille genius for color,
| beauty and. above all. beauty in
fullest measure. Additionally. De-
Mile has brought to the interpre-
tation OF his story one of the great
est casts OF his whole directorial
career. with Thomas Meighan, Le-
atrice Joy and Lois Wilson In the
chief roles and with a splendid cast
of lesser luminaries grouped about
these three plays.
DeMille calls his latest picture a
drama of the mad age Of the pres
ent. He att-mpt with remarkable
success to visualize the strong par
allel that exists between the riot
Gus tendencies of modern youth
and the self-same tendencies which
characterized the Roman Empire
just before il falls. In depicting
this motif DeMille has presented
several scenes of ancient Roman
casnival and bachannalian festival
that totally outdo anything of the
sort he has ever attempted before.
They are not only epic in their
scope and sweep but utterly gor-
geous in color and form.

Norma TaImadEe In .Tbe Eternal
FIame~


The present theatrical season
probably will not afford a more
perfect combination Of star story
and produ' ton than distinguishes
The Eternal Flame" Norma Tai
madge's magnificent new produce
tion for First National, which yes
terday charmed huge crowds upon
the occasion Of its first Washing
ton presentation at Crandalls Met
ropolitan Theater. The Eternal
Flame" Is as far superior to ''Smil-
in Through" as that exquisite sub
ject was to its stars every earlier
vehicle.
Great skill has been exercised
in adapting Balxsc's La Duchesse
de Langeais" to the screen. While
IL visualizes purely a love story
1t still possesses a touch of s.
torical value in its painstaking apd
opulent reproduction of the court
life of that gay monarch. King
Louis XVIII of France. The scenes
throughout the major acton of the
drama are marked by a mammoth
magnificence that completely f1lls
the eye and provides a colorful
background against which to un-
fold a tale of coquetry and devo-
tion that lays bare the most power
full emotions of the human heart.
Antoinette, Duchess of Langeais. a
dutiful wife until her husband made
her faithfulness the subject OF a
public wager becomes the courts
reigning coquet and finally at
tempts the conquest Of Gen. Mon
triveau, deemed in court circles a
confirmed woman hater. In winning
the heart OF the .''tiresome and
gloomy person." who by reason Of
having been Napoleon's closest
friend is quite the fashion. she loses
her own.
Norma Talmadge has done many
fine things. but never anything to
approach her Duchess in beauty,
grace. vivacity and sheer emotional
power. Conway Tearle Irv ng
