Sir Walter Again.

T OIS WILSON got the greatest thrill
- of her life while making a per-
sonal appearance at new motion
picture theater in New York recently.
After working in the William De
Mile production of "Icebound' at the
Paramount Long Island studio Miss
Wilson travelled to the New Theater
in the evening to be the star of Lois
Wilson night" of the week of the
theater's activities.
1t was wet night, yet the theater
was crowded to the doors, and her
ovation lasted about ten minutes.
Again, when she stepped out of the
stage door she saw great crowd.
Between two banks of human beings
was the wet pavement: at the curb
stood her car.
As she was about to step to the
sidewalk a youth of about fifteen
stepped forward and hurriedly tore
romance, his face was flushed with
excitement and he had all the APP
pearance of a knight of old about to
bend the knee to his fair lady. With
a flourish he threw his coat upon the
street and bowed low.
Thank you, Sir Walter" smiled
Miss Wilson, as surprised as the
crowd about her.
You're welcome, Queen Elizabeth
responded the young courtier.

mission. Soon he is jogging along
the bleak Russian countryside. But
sleep, long denied, overcomes him at
last. He dreams of his triumphant
return: he is dined on cabbage soup
and rewarded richly by the mistress.
AS he dreams his head hangs down,
the rents in his tattered cap widen,
until, finally, the envelope, loosened
by the motion of the cart, falls to the
ground. In sight of home Polikushka
arouses himself, straightens his coat
and proudly removes his cap for one
last glance at the precious packet.
This is a high moment in Moskvin's s
art.
At home they are uneasy as the
hours wear on. Back on the road
there is a glimpse of Polikushka- He
is lying by the wayside, prostrate
with exhaustion; the old horse, droop-
ing and weary, in the background.
This is the art of the sculptor trans
ferred to the screen. In every line OF
the prone figure there is tragedy;
dark despair in the outstretched legs
that have trod the road till they can
go no farther; hopelessness in the
closed eyes, blind with looking.

When his wife turns to the, festive
cakes in the oven he hides the rope
from the baby's Grade underneath his
jacket. The mistress sends word he Is
to come at once to deliver the rubles the
gardener has given him. From the
doorway he pauses and looks back.
Polikushka ascends into a garret,

casts the end Of rope. fastening and
trying it carefully to see If 1t Will

tunic and around his neck is his bap-

takes Off. putting in its place the
moose of the rope. Out of the shadows
of the garret comes a blue of staring
eyes. an agonized face. 1t swings ab-
ruptly toward the camera and is gone.

ToIstoi's 'PoIikushka.

IVAN MOSKVIN is now well known
to American audiences as the Tsar
F'yodor and as Luka, the pilgrim in
The Lower Depth" But it is in a
new role that he comes to the screen.
He is the irresponsible, drunken,
thieving stableman, Polikushka-
1t takes no modicum of art to make
a sympathetic character out Of a rag
ged, ill-kempt Russian serf, who is
fake horse doctor, who has an uncon-
Querable weakness for vodka and who
has a questionable habit of finding
things which have not been lost. Yet
Tolstoi has managed to fashion from
this unprepossessing material a Poll
Rushka who is at all times tragically
Intellectual, but none the less appeal
ing.
And Moskvin is this Polikushka
visualized. One expects grimness out
starkness. Misery, degeneracy, the
futility of human endeavor, the dead
ly dete erminism of circumstance, are
the fabrics upon which Tolstoi cuts
his patterns. He has a talent for
shadows. But here, threaded into the
desperate grimness, is infinite pathos,
high humor
So we have Polikushka, the dis
reputable, the f1ogged, whom the
kindly Boyarinia, the lady on whose
conscript. Has he not sworn to re-
form? No, the Duttloffs. who have
three eligible sons. must send one to
fight for the car. In the enthusiasm
of her confidence. and to get him out
of the way of the conscript officers,
the Boyarinia tells Polikushka that
he is to go to the city to fetch large
sum of rubles from her gardener.
This is a proud moment for Poll
kushka, but his wife, Akulina, is fill
ad with dread Tearfully she makes
him promise by the sacred ikon that
he will not let a drop of vodka pass
his lips. In the early dawn the little
family make prepa Inner soles

Sheepskin shuba is patched and the

kushka passes the inns along the road

ton. Arrived at last at the cottage

Cherry Blossom Time.

Cherry Blossom Time" the new

lyrics are by Genevieve Farnell and

band and the largest assemblage of
feminine youth, beauty and Zest ever
offered In one production. The cast

BIooies the Classics

Syncopation," Miss See1ey has made
her own orchestrations and altered
rhythms to suit her own style of
delivery.
''Syncopation is the one real con-
tribution to musical art in Amer
ica-" according to Blossom Seeley.
1T has in it some of the ardent, fas-
cinating rhythm of Spanish music
and much of the melancholy and
exotic flavor of the negro melodies
1t has been much abused.
''The man or woman who stands
on the stage and sings a blue num-
ber, trusting to suggestive lines to
get across, has too often been taken
as the exponent of this style of
music. But the art lovers of the
future, the creators of the real music
of America, will acknowledge a great
debt to what they now despise under
the name of jazz" And Blossom
says this with a bang.

blossom is credited with being the

Long before jazz had ever been

made an art of syncopation and her
fame soon reached from her home
town of San Francisco to New York.
