TOM MEIGHAN
FILMED AT
PALACE

The long-expected and pleasant
anticipated perturbation of Rex
Beach's splendid novel, 1.-THE Ns'er-
Do.Well," in which the luxor.
Lasky combination stars genial
Tommy Meighan, had its Wash
ington premiere yesterday at the
Palace Thsater. To those of the
screengoers who read and enjoyed
the novel in it's original form the
celluloid version will be something
in the nature of a disappointment.
To those who care genuinely for
the pantomime Of Meighan, it will
not appeal as a sample of his best
work. And to those who fall in
THE Ne'er-Do-Weh" will seem
merely another film along the
cinema road that stretches from
studio to exhibitor-no better, no
worse than the ordinary run of
every-week films.
One anticipates seeing 1.-The
Ne'er- Do-Well" with certain
warm thrill of expectancy; and
small wonder. An engrossing
story; a well.liked and capable
star; fine supporting cast-and
the romantic background of genu-
inc Panama settings. The sum of
any such addition as this should in
every case spell movie enchant-
ment. Yet imperfect continuity or
faulty direction will at least mar
the most finished product produced
by tine joint labors of star and
author. And in these two depart
ments one places finger upon the
weakness of THE Ne'er- Do Well"
AS Kirk Anthony. Meighan, had
he been given the opportunity-the
direction he's had in many a past
success-could have turned in one
of the most convincing roles of his
career. AS it is, his characterize
ton is reminiscent of the regret
table days into which poor Wally
Reed fell-that is. he is always
Meighan, never truly Kirk An
thony. And the story itself has
been hacked to pieces-the con-
tinuity ruined. 1t is jumpy.
However, it is not wholly bad.
There are moments of genuine hui
mor-and scenes Of distinct merit.

Will Rogers will remain with the

word, which he is ready to keep,
it was stated yesterday. He as
sures Mr.. Ziegfeld he has no I'M

himself. For eight years viii
Rogers has appeared in various
productions under the manage
ment OF Mr.. ziegfeld, jr., and in
all this time there never has been
written line, or a contract, be-
tween them. 1t has simply been
a shake of a hand, which has
changed Will Rogers compensa-
ton from few hundred dollars
week to the largest salary paid
any performer in America.
The agreement for his appear
ance in the present "Follies" was
to the effect that Rogers gave
Ziegfeld his word that he would
remain with THE Ziegfeld Fol-
lies" as long as the present show
played in New York city at the
New Amsterdam Theater. In pre-.
vious years 1.-THE Follies" was
only produced on or about June
1 and remained in New York for
a period of fourteen weeks, then
playing the same road tour each

Boston. Owing to the success of
this years production, which has
played for forty.nine weeks, the
usual conditions are changed. and
the "Follies" remains in New
York until the next "Follies" is
ready. and will play the usual
tour after a delay of one year.
In other words, the "Follies" will
play the same tour, only year
