There are many unemployed in the

CRANDALL'S Jack" and
Fruits of Faith"

Two pictures. which some weeks
ago presented one OF the most whole
some bills of the season-"Dr. Jack"
with Harold Lloyd. and Fruits of
Faith" with Will Rogers-reappeared
at CrandalHs Theatcr, 9th and T.
streets. yesterday afternoon for a
three-day run.
Both pictures have been favorably
commented upon by The Star but no
harm will be done in restating that
they furnish a type of entertainment
that comes once in a long time. DIR.
Jack" is the story of Il Small-town
physician who is overfiowing with
benovolence and love of duty. in re-
turn for which he gets nothing but
the admiration of the community.
Just as DIR. Jack is preparing to settle
down to his lifelong task, the oppor-
tunity comes to score over one of these
dignified medical men who hang
around rich homes and don't do much
of anything. That's the thread of
the story. but it is told with varia-
tionS that make Harold Lloyd pic
lures distinct and original. and-let
it not be forgotten-funny.
Fruits Of Faith" while not so
funny, is of the same type of photo
play as DIR. Jack" and should con-
vince the most skeptical that Will
Rogers is just as comical when say
ing nothing as when he is handing
out the cowboy philosophy over the
fOotlightS in the "FollieS."

CENTRAL-Barbara La Marr, In
Poor Mems Wives

Poor Mems Wives" a Cashier pro-
duction, was shown yesterday at
Crandall's Central Theater to large
crowds
The story is one of sharp contrasts
between the lives of the two shop
girls, one who marries for money
and a gay time, the other for home
and happiness. Each grows intensely
jealous of the other-one misses the
happiness of a real home; the other
longs for the gauds and the night
life that money commands. The re-
suit is that both households come
dangerously near the rocks.
The Artists Ball'--a travesty with
modern jazz trimmings of the ancient
Roman revels-is one of the scenic
features. Barbara La Mari offers d
convincing portrayal, the young wife
Of a taxi driver. who is tempted by

C0LUMBIA-Pola Negri, in Bella
Donna"

The deep, wide lobby of the Co
lumbia Theater at I o'clock last night
was literally packed with patient
humanity, waiting until the equally
packed theater could empty for the
9 o'clock show, to see Pola Negri's
first American photoplay production.
And when Q o'clock came the al
ways-increasing crowd poured into
every seat and was content even with
standing room.
Thus the box office testified colossal
success. 1t was not success, how
ever in which the American screen
version of the Hichens' novel-long
since admirably dramatized for the
stage, nor it's American direction, nor
even it's American production. had
any right to share. 1t was an un-
mistakable tribute to Pola Negri, and
those who had seen the splendid
actress in Passion" must have yearn-
ed for the return of Lubitsch and
for the de-Americanization of the
beautiful Pola, at least SO far as her
make-over' was concerned.
True. one or two mammoth scenes
have been beautifully photogra phed.
but Pola Negri. the great actress of
Passion" is missing. They have lit
orally wiped her out" with their
wonderfully improved American
makeup" Now and then, in spite of
her disguise. glimpses of her irrepres-
sible art breaks throughput that's
all. There is but little of the poetic
or the dramatic spirit of the exotic
story left in the photoplay. It's df-
rector has indelibly stamped it with
the trade mark of mediocrity, even as
LIubitsche gave the royal sign manual
of art to Passion" If such a thing
were believable. one would be tempt

American production had been staged
for a failure. and vet it is such a pro-
duction as has been chosen to chaI
