A combined vocal and orchestral con-

program ranging from RachmaninoF to

with the inimitablc racial timbre and

On the Screen
The Grim Comcdian,' a Story
OF Lite, Presented at the
Capitol Theatcr
BY Harriettc lJnderh;II

~
''1a "eiman's "The Grim Comedian
mas been put on the screen by Frank
lloyd and is at tho Capitol this week
me grim comedian is life, and il seems
ne has the laugh on all of us. but tho
picture doesn't show just how anv of
US arc going to get along without him.
lhe story is about an actress who
travels the easiest way and keeps hcr
soun4 daughter IN convent in igno-
rance as to where all the money comes
from. Now, this mother wasn't really
very bad. There seemed to bc on]v ono
man who furnished her with anart-
ments and jewels and motor cars.
However. when the nuns had finished
young Dorothy's education she wrote
that she was coming home, and mamma
decided that she would have to make
the supreme sacrifice and give up her
life Of case.
] should have enjoyed this picture
much more if it had been lighted bv a
spark Of humor. But it never was.
Marie Lamontc was one of those
women whose mouth was forever tremu-
lous. In the first part of the picture
she went around with her hair hang.
ing down when che had gentlemen
callers, to prove that she was an aban
doned woman. and in the second part
she wore unbecoming hats to show
that she was reformed. Why must
reformation be so unattractive and vice
so alluring? l did not like the woman
Marie Lam ontc at all, but she was Ger
tainIy more attractive person when
she was living a scarlet life. After she
decided to light her lamp and keep it
trimmed and burning for her daugh
ters sake her disposition uus not so
good.
Now, do not believe that this was
Miss Weman's conception of tho char
acter at all. Probably Marie was oripi-
nally an attractive, easy going young
woman, with warm heart and a sense
OF humor. The Mario Of the picture
may be Mr.. Lloyd's idea Of her, or it
may be PhGbe Hunts, who played tho
role
Jack Holt is so fascinating as the
villain, who didn't do a thing out Of
why Marie shot him when he only
wanted to marry her daughter. 1t
seemed rather a dog in the mangcr at
tltude, or perhaps she thought he
would not make good husband. Per
haps he would not, but he surely would
have made an attractive husband,
which is not the same thing. but some
thing much better. Marie preferred to
have her daughter marry Gcoffrey
Hutchins. young art student. which
was all right SO long as there isn't go
ing to be any sequel to the story
When the story closes Jack Holt,
who was Harvey Martin. appears to be
misogynst, and it hardly seemed
that either mother or daughter had
been attractive enough to warrant any
such attitude. The story is a good one
and should have made an interesting
picture. but as it is presented it lacks
what is known as punch.

only John Emerson and Anita Loos can
give to the screen opened at the Criterion
