A NOSEGAY FOR
THE DIRECTOR
OF "RECOIL"

In the final summing up Of the
ten best phctoplays OF the year,
Rec0il," the current attraction at
the Rialto Theater, bids fair for q
place in the sun. Although Betty
Blythe and Mahlon Hamilton are
the featured players, and al
Thought it Is an adaptation from
a short story by Rex Beach, its
flawless direction Is its merit.
The scenes in DeauviIle and
Monte Carlo are genuine and
beautiful, and the whole produc-
ton is carried to the minutest
detail throughout.
1t is good to find an unusual
theme nowadays. This is one. A
penniless woman and Gordon
Kent, a retired millionaire, both
Americans, meet in Deauville.
They are married iInpulsively, but
the wealth which he 1avishes upon
his bride soon kills the faint spark
of love within her, and she leaves
her husband for the love of a
crook. Through his vast finances,
the man is able to swear re-
venge upon the lovers by forcing
them to live together for the re.
mainder OF their lives. They
travel the earth over, but happi.
ness is not theirs-only hate for
each other. And it is here that
the unhappiness which he has
caused in their lives recoils back
upon Kent. The return Of for
mer husband, whom the woman
believes dead, serves to untangle
the meshes, and the story ends
happily in a Spanish villa, high in
the Andes. Blond Betty is not
beautiful, but she is a convincing
actress, and the small remaining
cast Is well chosen.
Political dope. The fade-out of
the comedy shows Will Rogers on
his way to Congress, with a plat
form all his own. An educational
film warns ocean travellers against
cardsharks in an interesting man
ner, and the Fox News Reel
touches people and places Of in
terest today. The Rialto orches.
ira helps wondertuITy to interpret
the feature picture.-E. L. p.

JAZZ FROM THE
SIBERIAN
STEPPES

Not since Fred Warnings merry
celgegiates took the Capital by
storm has there been an orchestra
at local playhouse to compare
with Cherniavski's Orientais, fea-
tured out at Crandall's Tivoli this
week. Not since those youthful
disciples Of rhythm and pep wend-
ed their way from Washington
success to a Broadway booking
has there been a brass choir to
raise you from your seat like
these Monaghan melody maulers
at Fourteenth and Park road. If
the Crandall interests are not
instrumental in giving local the
atergoers q second week OF this
aggregation at one theater or an.
other 1t won't be because of lack
of audible appreciation from audi
ences who have heard them-that
is, II one is to judge from the
amount Of applause that waited
from last nights house and nearly
swept the stage clear OF every
thing not tied down.
Cherniavski's Orientals deserve
some explanation. There are four
teen Of them--costumed after the
fashion Of blue.hlooded Russian
droshkys with dash Of Tartar
sauce. Some Of them lean to-
ward the affectation of crepe
moss upon the features thow the
trombonist kept his beard out of
the instrument 10 niracle). but
Cherniavski himself, who directs,
really looks as though he'd just
descended the Steppes, even
though the rest don't. And how
they can play! Not just plain
American jazz. but jazz with bar
barrie trtmn1ings-jazz In every
conceivable Oriental key.
TO hear the dimpled clarinetist
tear off his weird harmonies Is to-
suddenly experience an atavistic
desire to rip out the arm uf your
orchestra chair and beat time on
the floor with It. II this feature
on the bill isn't worth SIS cents
by itself, then nothing else is!
The first multiple-reel comedy
from the Christie factory, Hold
Your Breath" with all the we'll
known Christie comedians like
Dorothy Devore and Lincoln
Plumer and Jimmie Adams, sup
plemented by such notabies as
Walter HERS and TuIly Marshall,
is the screen attraction. It's
darned funny in spots, and ter
ribly draggy in others. Every
body thought that the last ounce
OF excitement had been extracted
from the situation of someone
climbing the side Of a building
when Harold Lloyd made Safety
Last" but Hold Your Breath"
demonstrates that Harold over
looked several bets, and p; oceeds
to go him one or two better. This
makes up for the Newsreel shots
OF war scenes struggled into the
earlier reels Of the film.
