Guy Bates Post In
The Masquerader
at Metropolitan

"O attempt an adverse criticism
OF THE Masquerader" in
film form would, in view OF
its remarkable Success on the
speaking stage I'm the past few
seasons. be highly out OF order
considering the fact that Guy
Bates Post. the distinguished
American actor who first made
famous the dual role OF John
Chilcote. NJ. p. and John Loder,
journalist. has re.created upon
the screen the same parts he
made so convincing I'm "the legltI.

that the cclluloid version OF THE
Masquerade" az presented at the
Metropolitan this week, IL slightly
less satisfying. One might almost
term IL an in-and-out picture. TO
revert TO the idiom OF the baseball
diamond. There are moments OF
Intense interest. painful suspense;
tremendous scenes in which Mr.,
Post lives his portrayal of the
drug-craZcd Chilcote or the con.
science-harassed Loder. And
coupled with these are bits that
any ordinary hummer might
equal.
The fault-if fault there be
lies, one thinks. In the fact that
the principal, trained In the lore

hardly learned his lesson that an

rations, then will the rouge habit
lose much of it's popularity.
This is the conviction OF Irene
Castle, dainty film favorite and
terpsichorean star. who will ap'
pear Tuesday noon at $50 O'Clock
at the President Theater In her
own Dances and Fashions or
1929. Miss Castle will be as
sisted by the Moscow Artists, Rus
sian dancers extraordinary.
Through many years OF stage
and screen successes, Irene
Castle has learned to know
rouge, and she is firm in the
belief that facial expressions
must change with rouge II the
decoration is to be used. else the
decorated one merely makes
garish addition to the scenic color
scheme.
Rouge and facial aids have
different uses" Miss Castle said.
But they were never intended to
be merely decorative. IL a wom-
an OF forty taks on the cheeks
and eyes of an eighteen-year-old
girl she should at least take on
something akin to the joyous and
hopeful expression OF her years.
Otherwise the girlish and color
full makeup becomes nothing
more than mural decoration.
However. the woman OF forty
using schoolgirl complexion aids
should emulate the schoolgirl
no further than her facial ex'
preston. Successful screen char
acterizations are SO made, and 1t
must be so in real life"
According to advance notices.
one Of the most striking and
original features on the program
Of Irene Castles Dances and

ny Dance. which she brought to
this country recently from Paris.
