1T WILL APPEAL
TO YOU, WILL
HAPPINESS"

Just sweet. simple story is
Happiness, which Metro sends
to the Columbia screen this week.
1t has not the all-star cast and
gorgeous atmospheric beauty,
which, combined with intensely
dramatic stories, have marked so
many of the seasons plays, but
Is unique in that it depends al
most entirely uponN the person
atty Of it's pivotal character for
interest. 4.
With less capable and individual
interpretation 1t could not hold
an audience, but Laurette Taylor
makes SO real the character of
Jennie, the little shop girl, that
she does not fail to win hearts
even as did Peg" her prede-
cessor in the Taylor repertoire.
And it is Jennie who holds your
attention with her lovable man
nerisms and fiery impetuosities,
who makes you laugh and wonder
what she will do next
She is discomfitted by nothing,
and even a mighty traffic jam at
New York's busiest corner has
not the power to stand between
her and her purpose; she darts
here and there over the tops of
the waiting motors and slides to
the farther pavement via the
back Of surprised old gentle
man.
Possessing but little of this
worlds goods, she yet manages
to find that elusive thing called
happiness, and bring it also into
the lives Of those with whom
she comes in contact.
Chief among these are a rich
society woman, bored with lux.
ury, and an egotistical electrician
who is finally allowed to become
Jennie's husband after he has
been properly suppressed.
Hedda Hopper is well-cast as
the rich woman who learns from
Jennie the secret Of happiness.
The role of electrician falls to
the lot of Pat O'Malley, formerly
known as king of the Air" be-
cause of his daring wire-walking
feats, and who has but recently
won a long-deserved recognition
on the screen.
A laughable comedy, THE
Weakling." and an International
News reel complete the program.

SECOND WEEK FOR
"HUNCHBACK"
AT MET

Tine HunCnDack OF NOtFe
Dame" Victor Hugo's immortal
story of France under Louis XI,
is held over for itA second week
at the Metropolitan Theater. Be-
cause Of it's length, the usual mu-
steal and subsidiary features are
omitted.
The story OF the unfortunate
cripple who was the joke Of the
townfolk and who found his only
companionship in the chimes OF
Notre Dame, must be familiar to
everyone-between love and duty,
and through it all rises the horri-
BILE, vet sympathetic, parsonage Of
the hunchback. When the gypsy
girl who once befriended him is
about to be hanged for a crime Of
which she is not guilty. the
hunchback rescues her and carries
her within the protection OF the
cathedral. and there defends her
against the mob with his own
crude devices Of defense.
To this generation Of movie
fans Lon CLANCY is and always
will be The Hunchback Of Notre
Dame" As the title character,
his acting dominates the picture.
and the weirdness of his makeup
adds new laurels to those already
won. The rest of the cast is COM
posed of Patsy Ruth Miller, Nor
man Kerry, and Ernest Terrence,
and a long list Of others equally
familiar and each doing credit to
the picture. The picture itself Is
well directed, although parts Of 1t
verge dangerously near the grue.
some. True to the original, there
is not ample relief from the
tenseness which runs through the
story. But it is big picture and
an excellent one.-E. L. P.
