ROULETTE AT
RANDALL'S
CENTRAL

CrandalIs Central offers for the
first htree days Of this week q
photo-dramatization Of William
lEacharg's story Roulette" Di.
rected by s. e. v. Taylor and
acted by q cast Of actors, each
Of whom is q star in his own
right, the picture should prove
one OF unusual merits, but for
some reason, the interest required
to put a picture over. is lacking.
It is proof that any picture must
have three elements for success,
and can not depend solely upon
its stars and unusualness Of
theme.
The story Is the romance Of q
girl, who, through the foulnees
Of a gambler, becomes his ward.
When she has fallen in love with
o young millionaire. she learns
the true cause Of her fathers
death. Because Of q stacked
pack Of cards, her fiance loses
to her guardian, and she is ac-
cused Of having hand in the
affair. AS a deciding issue of
fairness, the girl stakes herself
to the winner at the roulette
wheel. Chance gives way to
cheating, and the numbered disk
and little ball spell happiness for
her. Yes, a nice little story. But
all life is a gamble, and so are
some photoplays and particularly
this one.
The cast is exceptional. Edith
Roberts, Norman Trevor and
Walter Booth lead. The return
Of Maurice Costello and Flora
Finch is a happy reminder Of
Vitagraph days, but time tells
even in the movies. The re.
remainder of the cast includes
Mary Carr, Effie Shannon, Dog.

and Henry Hull.

those little whimsical caprices OF

.ARING BAND
HELD OVER
AT MET

Whatever the lure, q packed
house and hundreds of standees
awaited the first showing yester-
day Of Maurice Tourneur's zeal
Gus Husbands" at the Merropoli-
tan. Maybe 1t was the title, which
suggests q situation that strikes
close home for many in both sexes.
At any rate. the applause indi-
Gated that some people got what
they came for. All of which
makes the reviewer feel more
alone in his opinion. To US the
production hardly reached first
base, Notwithstanding many
flashes of artistry that were occa-
sionalIy shot through it.
Jealous Husbands" has the
basic plot Of thousands of stories,
real ana reel. Its purpose seems
to be. as usual. to present a strong
moral lesson by way Of nelodrama
Ito show, as Shakespeare said it,
that "trifIes light as air are to
the Jealous confirmations strong
as proofs Of holy writ" This Is
done with q considerable number
of thrills and dramatic situations.
There is even, in the most brutal
scenes, some of such atmosphere
as Thomas Burke weaVes about
his famous Limehouse characters.
But continuity and plausibility of
plot are entirely disregarded. 1t
ia incredible that a father, wholly
on suspicion, would give his child
to a kidnaper. 1t is not just for
such a father to reap a full meas
ure of happiness. The story 10 not
convincing.
Outstanding in the cast is Ben
Alexander, twelve-year-old star of
"Penrod and Sam" and of ''Boy
of Nine" The boy has an inef-
fable quality that makes his ju-
venile parts easily the best of their
kind on the screen. And Don
Marion, a little Russian boy, de-
serves special mention. Jane No.
yak makes a good mother and
wife, playing with sincerity and
feeling. Earl williams is the
wolfish husband, drunk with jeal-
ousy, selfishness and egotism. The
gentle underworld trio is composed
of Bull Montana. George Geig-
mann and ]. Gunnis Davis, and
when these three begin to col
laborate you feel none too safe in
the audience.
If any recompense is needed 1t
will be found in Fred Warnings
tuneful twelve who are staying
over another week and giving an
entirely new program. These
young collegians render what we
would call beautiful jazz. Their
mastery Of harmony and instru-
mentation is already familiar
through the medium of phono-
graph records. Tom Waring con-
tributes to the ensemble as vocal
list, pianist and as performer on
the quaint piano chimes, a small
cabinet instrument which origl-
mated in Paris.
The one-reel comedy, Neck and
Neck" gives Lige Conley q big
field in which to display his, di-
versified talent as COMEDIAN
