CRANDALL'S-
ROdOlph Valentino.

Rodolph Valentino occupies the
screen at CrandalIs Theater the
first three days of the week in
THE Young Rajah." In this sub
ject the screens supreme lover is
cast in the role Of a young man
adopted into the home of a New
England family, but never lost
sight of by the East Indians who
arrange for his bringing up. In
the course of time ne falls in
love with the daughter of an I'M
affected American family and is
about to take her as his bride
when he is whisked away to India
to assume the name and title of
a royal forebear who has left
him heir to his estates. Here an
other marriage is arranged and
the young raiah" is forced to
acquiesce in the plans. The bride
proves to be the American whom
he has always loved.
Valentino acquits himself with
full credit in this subject, and
is admirably supported by Wanda
Hawley and a carefully chosen
cast that leaves no weak spot in
the very effective ensemble.
An auxiliary attraction that
proved popular with yesterdays
capacity crowds is Earl Hurd's
novelty combination cartoon and
acted laughmaker, "RaiIroading."
In which human players combine
their talents with the laughable
activities of drawn figures.
Other short reel subjects and an
especially melodious pipe organ
accompaniment complete the bill,
which will continue to be shown
through Tuesday.

Washington Performers Split
Honors With Professional

Interest in the Shubert vaude-

naturally centers in the innovation
act, 1.-THE Washington Follies,"
presented by Estelle Murray. and
including Miss Murray herself
and a corps of other talented local
entertainers. Among those who
appear are Margaret and Eliza
beth Gorman-the former winner
Of the nations beauty crown in
Iceland Royal Foster, Kitty Nc
Leod. Mildred Inge, and James K.
Young.
Miss Murray and Mr.. Foster ap-
pear in a tango staged very much
along the lines of that in which
ROdolph Valentino appeared in
THE Four Horsemen." The tango
number was the high spot Of the
act, performed with truly profess
sional grace and manner. The
German Sisters showed that they
are accomplished singers and
dancers, and Miss Inge appeared
to advantage in two dance num-
bers. James K. Young has a solo
and duet with Miss Murray.
The act as a whole is a highly
creditable production, and some Of
the talent that appeared is worthy
of places on the "big time" any
where.
OF the regular bill, James Watts,
former star of the Greenwich Vii
lage Follies, is the outstanding
hit. His excellent satires on the

A ROMANCE OF
MUSIC AT
POLPS
Blossom Time" With Its
Melodies and Interesting
Book, Returns.

Blossom Time" that luminant
of delightful melody, opened q re-
turn engagement at Polls SUM-
day evening for the current week.
Since it's last appearance here
Blossom Time" has managed to
remain apart from and above the
plentiful succession of musical
comedies, which have sought to
approximate it's qualitative score
and it's excellent book.
The play is based on a romantic
phase of the life of Franz Schu-
bert the composer; story scintil-
liant with inspired gems from his
compositions and augmented by
adaptations by Sigmund Rom
berg. 1.-The Song of Love" incor-
porates strains from his "Un-
finished Symphony" while "Sere-
made" and AVE Marie" find happy
expression in mixed voice rem
ditions.
Gertrude Lang, diminutive, but
resonantly voiced and appealing as
an actress, stepped into the prima
donna role as substitute for Laurel
Nesmeth, singing the role Of Mitzi
in a manner that demands lauda-
bling emergency support of such
distinctively good character.
Hollis Uute) Davenny, long a
moving spirit in Washington
musical circles, played the role Of
Franz Schubert, with repression
and appeal. His singing of Tell
Me, Daisy" and "Song Of Love"
were melodious supports to the
score as a whole.
Roy Chopper, as the Baron
Schober, carried the burden Of
singing honors with virile taste
and ease. Halina Bruzovna, as
Bellabruna, lent exotic touch to
her character, enhancing the role
with good singing voice.
AS a comedian, Teddy Webb, in
the role of Kranz, is as widely
different from the standard jester
school as Blossom Time" is from
burlesque. His performance was
of an unusual value and a main
stay in the plays progress.
Not to see Blossom Time" is
to deny ones self a rare, good
treat. H. C..

RIALTO-
FiImS-Music.

The progrma Of subsidiary fea-
lures and orchestral numbers at
the Rialto this week parallels the
major showing in interest and
entertainment value, the former
including a laughable comedy en-
titled Bumps" one Of the most
unusual and unique PriZma-color
Sketches we have ever seen;
and an exclusive showing Of Fun
From the Press" and the latest
Fox News. The latter gives both
the famous Rialto orchestra, under
the direction of George Wild, and
the Melody Boys, whose fame and
popularity is increasing in leaps
and bounds. an opportunity to
tickle the ears of lovers OF both
the classic and, jazz in a manner
that brought forth rounds or APP
plause for every selection and
gives just the proper finishing
touch to the entire bill.

PALACE
Ozark Secrets"

A-glitter. as Octavus Cohen
might say, with a brimmagem
brilliapce that includes gorgeous
ly gowned women. impeccably-
uniformed men and sets of I'M
usual beauty; enhanced by a cast
of merit; and with the popular
Dorothy Dalton as the stellar
figure, Dark Secrets" is the cur
rent offering at Loew's Palace
Theater. Yet despite the out
standing features that should ap-
parently make for a picture of
high entertainment value, Ozark
Secrets" in the end must be ad-
judged weak in that quality
which goes to produce success.
1t is not the fault of the di-
rector; nor is the onus to be
placed upon star or cast-though
it must be admitted that Miss
Dalton has done better work in
more congenial roles. AS Ruth
Rutherford the star has not the
opportunity to display to it's full
extent the particular histrionic
ability that is doubtless hers. But
as Mohamed Ali, Jose Ruben en-
acts by far the most convincing
part IN the enL1r0 prOouCLlOn. AS
the Egyptian surgeon whose
methods smack of Coueism he is
fine; and not far behind him is
P. Hartigan as the Bedouin,
Biskra. Ellen Cassidy and Robert
Ellis also have much to do in
Miss Dalton's support. Thus the
cast is exonerated. What, then,
is the subtle lack in Dark
Secrets?" A weakness of plot,
possibly-or can it be that the
action is little draggy, and the
subtitles rather too sentimental
and inane?
Despite it's defects, however,
Ozark Secrets" is by no means
to be entirely decried. There will
be many to whom it will seem
one of the best of Miss Dalton's
career.
The Palace Symphony Orches-
ira, Topics of the Day, a Pathe
news reel and Christie comedy
laid in Hollywood, featuring
Dorothy Devore, complete the
