portance of the tale and serving

time, picture.
Peter Graham is a chaplain of the
World War, doing his bit with Tom
my Atkins at the front. Julie is an
altogether attractive little nurse, also
connected with the British forces.
Angelina. not overly attractive and
much too conventional for the stress
and strain of war times. is the girl
back home to whom Peter is sup
posed to be engaged. Julie is un-
conventional, an adorable flirt and
an Al nurse, bringing joy. comfort
and a new lease on life to the wound
ed .Tommies. Peter is neither heroic
nor pathetic. Whatever the authors
intent might have been, Peter as
portrayed in "Recompense" is but a
man of unbelievable stupidity, the
product Of an ingrown selfishness.
The recompenSe which Peter finds
in his remuneration of Julie and his re-
turn to London to open place where
unfortunates of all classes may find a
good meal and kindly smile, is hard
ly big enough to bring the happiness
which he seeks. But If reeompense is
to be found In service for others, 1t
cannot De through tne SelnSn Iallufe
to recognize services that have been
rendered to him, to which his very life
is due. "Recompense" might have
been big picture, but 1t isn't.

EARLE-W WatsOn's Musical Comedy
Company.

bright, little musical comedy,
doubtless built on the Rogers Broth
ers' Mexico" of long ago, is the top
liner at the Earle this week, leading
a good variety bill, with an excep-
tional picture.
Joseph X. Watson and Abe Gore,
Hebrew comedians. work with such
telling effect as to keep the large au-
dience continuously laughing. Their
Jokes are for the most part original
and the old ones are given twists to
make them seem almost new. The
supporting company is large and capa-

Olive De Claire have the leading femi.
nine parts, and all are good looking,
dance we'll and sing fairly well, al
though the first named has a voice
above the average. The chorus of 10
is handsomely costumed and dances
and sings very well. The story, in
short. concerns two real estate men
caught for lodging their income tax,
who run away to Mexico TO start d
revolution. The action Is along bur-
leSque lines, and funny.
Fred Reynolds and Allie White are
fine musicians, the former something
of a comedian, and the latter adds
spice to the act with dancing in an
abbreviated costume. Three recalls
rewarded their efforts. Sascha Piatov
and Lois Natalie are dancers Of the
first class, the postures and gyrations
of Miss Natalie being deftly supple
mented by her partner, making many
beautiful scenes as the latter's perfect
figure is shown to advantage in rich
costumes. Guy RariCk, Dick. Tandler
and Jane Stone, newcomers in this
vicinity, score a big hit with songs and
original patter. The first named is a
clever comedian, working along lines

RIALTO-"RecOmpense."

If Robert Keable, author Of Rec

tion picture version of his novel of
that title, then perhaps everybody
else should be. But from the point
of view of one who has never written
either a novel. or a scenario, or, in
other words, as viewed by a mere
spectator, the screen story is not cal
culated to leave much impression
other than that as a production it is
rather jerky and clumsy. and as a
