Tivoli-Vaudeville, Music
and Pictures.

There are two musical attractions
at the Tivoli Theater this week that
seem to arouse as much interest in
the audience as the screen features.
Tisen as leader. Is costumed in gay
embroidered cloaks and trousers, with
the high boots typical of Russian
dress. The Tartar airs played by
this group are quite different from
the Russian music heard here on or
mind one Of the old tales Of Sko-
morokhi, or wandering minstrels,
that used to travel the Russian step
pes. The one feminine member of
charming solo on her instrument,
showing mastery of technical diff
culties combined with colorful in
depreciation. In spite of costumes
and melodies of ancient days. the
orchestra seemed up-to-date and full
of American pep in the way in which
the members attacked their instru-
ments.
The other musical feature. aside
from the usual orchestral selection
Songs of the Countryside" sung by
the National Male Quartet of New
York city, which has extended its en-
gagement The voices of this en-
semble blend In harmony and the old
songs time had decided appeal.
The screen feature. Laura La
Plante. in The Dangerous Blonde" !"
was another Of those comedy films
that seem to be put up in similar
style to standard bouillon cubes to
have so much hot water added and
heated up to the boiling point, If
possible. Miss La Plante is very
pretty. but the plot of her story is
exceedingly trite, and the develop
ment of the various situations does not
stir any undue emotion in the audi
ence. THE Mysteries of Mah-Jong"
is fairly comprehensive survey Of
the principles of the Chinese game
that has been such a fad In this
country. The travelog and news
events reel completed the program.

Columbia-"The Unknown
Purple.

The Unknown Purple" shown at
the Columbia Theater this week, the
play by Roland West and Carlyle
Young, transferred to the screen, re-
tains the appeal that made 1t one
of Broadway's successes year ago.
The picture is released under the
Truart banner and is directed by Ro-
land West, one of the authors.
The story has to do with young
inventor, who has perfected for
mula containing a curious purple ray,
which has the property of rendering
whoever holds it invisible to the
naked eye. Betrayed by his wife,
to whom he is deeply devoted, and
going to prison as the result Of a
plot engineered by her lover. the in
ventor. upon his release. devotes his
genius and energies to balancing the
account Adopting the guise of
great financial and diplomatic. power.
and with the aid of the purple rays,
the inventor Systematically brings
about the ruin of his betrayers.
In the hands Of Henry B. Walthall
before and after his rise to fame. and
Alice Lake, as the beautiful but
vicious wife. shows her usual his
trionic powers.
Roland West has handled the mys-
terious purple rays in a manner both
skillful and convincing, and the pic
ture leaves little to be desired in
the way of thrills or settings, though
we were rather Skeptical or the
genuineness of the moon in. the last
fade-out.
The cast includes, in addition to
the two leads, Stuart Holmes, Helen
Ferguson, Brinsley Shaw, Ethel Gray
Terry, Richard Wayne and James
Morrison.
Combined with the Gumps. a COM
edy based on Sydney Smiths car
toons, which contains real humor
and elects many sponstaneous laughs.
the program this week is thrilling and
delightful.
Added attractions include Interna-
tional News, quips from the Literary
Digest and Mr. Brusiloff's musical
offerings. J.

called "A Man in Search of Thrill"
for it Is told entirely from the view
point OF the character played by Mr..
Menjou, one of the most finished
actors In the films. He Is a mascu-
line Gloria Swanson in this picture
with a. de Mille-ish bathroom and q

ing. He does not seem to do any
thing useful except cake beautiful
ladies to parties or their apartments,
but he does manage to fall in, love
with the unfortunate young heroine

strewn taxicab promising to give up

Interesting sidelights of the film
are the scenes of the actors equity
ball, showing many famous screen
and stage stars in informal glimpses.
and the second-rate actors boarding.
house with typical "roomers" and the
usual hard boiled. scheming landlady.
One might almost suspect that this
picture is an attempted bit of propa-
ganda for the actors and their trou-
bles. now so prominent in New York.

comedies. Hal Roach's Our Gang" in

that aroused constant chuckles and
frequent gales of laughter from the
audience. Farina and her companions

Crandall The Yankee
Consul"

Nothing of Raymond Hitchcock's 8
famous musical comedy remains in
Douglas MacLean's perturbation of
THE Yankee Consul" but the title
invented by Henry Blossom, jr. The
changes, however, make 1t a more
suitable vehicle for the talents of the
young screen comedian.
The Yankee Consul" is good fun.
The fact that the locale shifts from
New York to Rio de Janeiro instead
of to Santo Domingo only paves the
way for a series of episodes in a sup
posedly haunted castle and a motor
car dash down q mountain side.
In addition to MacLean's clever
work. performances are contributed
by Patsy Ruth Miller, Eric Mayne,
Arthur Stuart Hull. Stanhope Wheat
croft, Fred Kelsey, Eulalie Jensen
and Lee Shumway

Metropolitan-"A Abraham

ing pictures. one of the few that can
pc counted on the fingers of one hand
since since tne very inception of the art. is
Apranam Lincoln" the screen ver-
s'on of the dramatic and vivid life

tureSQue and lovable figure, playing

abraham Lincoln" been attempted.
Other historical dramas have been
produced with success, but in them
history has been used more or less
as background for some romantic
Theme. This Is simply and purely the
,,,i.h ssory @ or the martyr President.
with scenes of the times worked in to
give color, but il is portrayed so
perfectly, so accurately and with such
richness of detail as to be intensely
engrosslng from beginning to end.
Two things make it remarkable
picture; the completeness with which
every phase of Lincoln's life-story is
worked out from early boyhood to the
nnal scene of the murder in Ford's
Iheater. eXcellently done, and the
brilliant characterization done by
George A. Billings. unquestionably
one of the finest pieces of difficult
acting ever done. Not for one min
ute does he fail to portray the Lin
coin, young and old. as all the world
knows and loves him.
Scenes throughout the play, the
days of his youth as a young lawyer,
as young politician, as President in
Washington, seem to be staged most
faithfully, and other characters in the
drama give the impression of lifelike
naturalness, particularly Walter Ro-
gers as Gen. Grant James Welch as
Gen. Lee, William Humphrey as Ste
phen A. Douglas and William Moran
as John Wilkes Booth.
On the other hand, the picture has
its weaknesses. 1t lacks natural hu-
NOR. The difficult problem Of light
enlng up an otherwise somewhat
heavy and serious drama has been
solved by making a humorous char
acter of Lincoln during his young
manhood. The result has been to
make him appear a fool, an awkward,
grotesque dullard. slightly simple
help but be distasteful to the thou
sands that reverence and honor Lin
coin and never had quite that con-
ception of his character. Lincoln's
love affair with Anne Rutledge is
made rather idyllic. Launcelot and
Elaine brought up to date, with Anne
Rutledge the very pretty but colorless
type. the whole romance not quite
ringing true and not natural. incon-
sstent with the splendid reality of
the rest of the play.
However, these discrepancies de-
tract but little from so magnificent
production. 1t is something that
every one should see. Children VIII
get a finer conception of the great
emancipator than they ever had be-
fore, and feel that they know and
understand better the real Lincoln.

Central "Forty-Horse
Hawkins"

Forty Horse Hawkins" at Gran
dall's Central Theater for the first
four days of the current week, does
not derive it's title for horse thievery
or any other visible activity concern
ing equines. The young man who
bore that title had once driven that
many horses in one team and the
name had stuck. Now we discover
him, in the person of Hoot Gibson, en-
gagged in being the Poo-Bah of a
small western town, Lariat, where he
meets and becomes desperately in
fatuated with young actress who
gets her notice in the village and is
compelled to return to New York.
where a clever villain plans to get
her starred.
Forty being a wise young
fellow thwarts the scheme, goes to
New York himself and secures a job
as super" in the girls company and
by lucky fiuke converts what would
have been a failure into a rousing
success.
