STORM BREAKER
AND DANCING
AT RIALTO

There is an Inspiriting verve
about the program at the Rialto
this week which never drags, and
is never dull. There is offered
quite a variety of subsidiary di.
vertisements In addition to the
featured picture, 1.-The Storm
Breaker" starring House Peters.
THE Storm Breaker" in plot,
it must be confessed, has that
reminiscent air Of having seen
something very similar many
times before. But this fault is
largely alleviated by splendid act
ing, very convincing, and a
stormy, heart-tugging climax,
that is fairly staggering.
Peters Is assisted by Ruth Cliff

of talented young sSngers and

The Washington times., 1925-12-07

A play Of situation and char
acter, "Glory" rides through
from beginning to end with an
ever-changing scene. Stallings
and Anderson, authors, collected
into one bundle all they had
been taught about technique"
with its concerns about intro
duction, climax, denouement and
reconciliation, and tossed it
out of the window whereupon
they set about to write a piece
that placed less credence in the
handbook of writing than a
muddy Marine had in the gen.
eral staff.
Backgrounding the duel be-
tween Captain Flagg and Ser
geant Quirt for the voluptuous
gifts at Charmaine's disposal,
lies a canvas of war in the
trenches and in the rear as it
affected most any company that
got within booming of the guns.
There is death, heroism, rev.
elry and a realisgl to all of it
that conjures the past with
staggering vividness.
The dugout scene in act two
is a trenchant picture Of the
emotions Of men under fire
philosophy, bravadO, sacreligion,
charity and love. Act three, de-
picting the drinking duel be-
tween Flagg and Quirt is brutal
and shot with interest that
cannot wink for a moment.
In the keeping of the company
at Polls, "Glory" pretty nearly
lives up to the tradition New
York saddled it with-that of
being the best war play written
to date.
A few gaping holes can be
discerned in comparison Of
merit between the original and
the visiting casts. Either the
acoustics of the theater are
bad or the actors need tutelage
in the first requisite of high
school acting-that requisite be-
ing enunciation that can be
understood. The cast is so
nearly unanimously inaudible
that the fault must lie in
sounding apparatus or the lack
of it.
With all due respect to
Messrs. Wolheim and Boyd,

Nature in her most primal

some beautiful motion and still
pictures, by Burton Holmes at
the National yesterday. Touring
the Dolomites and Italian Alps

In a breezy little talk, tinged
here and there with touches Of
rare humor, MIR. Holmes takes
us over the magnificent Stelvia

full valleys Of South Tirol. Here
we pause for a moment at the
queer little villages of Cortina

prices underwent a sag during the ear
ly dealings today, and showed but lit
tie power to rally. There was an alb
sence of the aggressive Eastern buying
which has been conspicuous of late.
Furthermore, houses with Northwest

The closing was strong. With a
further rise in call money to per

leaders showed a tendency to lag, but
high-priced specialties were buoyant.

registered by du Pont, Shattuck Stores
and Brooklyn Edison before trading
closed at 2:30 o'clock. Sales approx
mated 100000 shares.
The heavy demand for the rails

pear to be justified in view of the
unprecedented freight traffic that

exceptions to this general upward trend,

today's stock market further active
selling occurred in some of the recent
