BELASCO-
EAST of Sue"


George Marshall's version OF
'East Of Suez,' W. Somerset
Maugham's British Chinese drama,
entered its second week at the
Belasco last night.
The Vaughan story affords
Hazel Dawn an excellent oppor-
tunity to display emotional talents
Of a more important order than
those permitted by any Of her
previous roles. Her work as a
half-caste Chinese girl, who is
thrown into a mesh of misfortune
through her love for the white
race, is worthy of much com
mendation.
East of Suez" is a tale of love,
well-seasoned with theatrically pre-.
pared n1elodrama which, at mo-
ments, gets marshmallowy. A half
caste girl, led astray by a British
legation gentleman, develops. real
past by the time she becomes ac-
quainted with this gentleman's
best friend.
She marries the best friend when
she should have married the
original. Her marriage fails to
take satisfactorily as long as the
original love Is handy. A self.in.
flicted bullet vitality delivered off
stage straightens out the bachelor,
the husband is deserted, and the

Perturbation Of Postwar

Here's an axiom all married

the lessons Fred Niblo drives
home In his perturbation of a
successful postwar stage play.

Is the piece de resistance of the
program at Loew's Columbia
Theater this week.
Having established his thesis,
Mr.. Niblo proceeds to prove 1t.
An Austrian archduke 10 as

The son goes off to the fighting.

The mother feels the call of duty

becomes Of the daughter? Well,
she listens to the call OF the great

In the end mother comes back

The Rialto offers Hunting

jor attraction this week.
A rather interesting and enter
tanning departure from the Gus
tomary photodrama. It may
properly be termed an adventure
scenic. It deals with the exciting
adventures of an exploring party.
The chief interest centers in
those scenes which show intimate
glimpses of various wild animals

quite remarkable pictures have
been. obtained, and 1t is difficult
to realize what patient and pains
taking effort must have been nee
essary to secure them Lions.

many others-with some OF which
we are not familiar-are shown
The natives and savages Of the
region are pictured in various
phases, and there are views or
the diamond mines Of Africa.
The photography Is Of the best.
considering the problems and diff.
ficulties encountered in the max
ing OF the pictures-taking the
films under such unusual and
precarious conditions, and the de-
veloping of the shots where photo
graphic laboratories were not
available, and the warm and
damp tropical climate necessitated
immediate development to avoid
spelling, as well as other Difficult
ties which the ordinary photogras
pher does not come up against, It
is to be wondered at that such re-
narkabIe results could be at al
possible.
The picture was made by III. A.
Snow and his son, who, 1t Is un-
derstood, spent thirty months IN
the jungles to achieve his pur-
pose.
There is a good comedy on the
bill in Traffic, . which deals with
the difficulties of q young man
trying to make his way through
congested streets and not be late

Avery Hopwood scores again!
His pleasing comedy in all its

night by house only partially

Sabbath was not exactly the
proper time to initiate this ire
sistible bedroom farce, but the
sparse crowd liked it.
