THRILLS GALORE
COLLIDE AT
PALACE

The director of "The Monster
on view this week at the Palace,
apparently changed his mind
half-dozen times before complet.
ing this film.
Originally he set out to do
mystery thriller. The very first
subtitle reads, THE wind was
moaning through the frightened
trees" Lightning flashes. Thun.
der can he imagined with ths
help of the trap drummer. Then
abruptly the action changes to
Charles Ray type of small town
comedy. A youth yearning to be
a detective, gets badge and di-
ploma from the correspondence
school. A little romance is thrown
in and then a lot of tornfoolery.
Finally all the characters wind
up in the Mystery House, which
this time is sanitariuIn, presided
over by a crack Drained surgeon.
Thrills come aplenty. All of the
trick devices seen in the "CaI
and the Canary" and "The Bat"
are here employed to produce
horror. In the midst of all this,
the hero Of the piece, for no
particular reason, gets drunk and
the action reverts to farce, and
the kick" is taken out of the
thrills.
Lon CLANCY is there in Face
No. 645. He has 1000, you know.
It Is not the kind OF a face that
even mother could love, but
is quite suitable for this role.
Clancy does not do great deal
OF acting. He stalks through the
story. His sinister mask and
leering eyes create the desired
effect. Once he flies into a
rage and his features become dis
torted into those Of another DIR.

Johnny Arthur is the tyro de.
tective and does rather we'll with

MARY'S VERY

There is no stopping these
Warnings Pennsylvanians. Yes
terday, at the Metropolitan Theater
they inaugurated their twelfth
week, in all, as a special added

was signalized by the greatest

France. Mary Aetor is cast In
the role Of young American girl
who comes suddenly upon dieil-
lusionment when certain that an
indefinite platonic friendship with
ValyraI1, opera star, Is reason
ably possible.
The false differences and bitter
implications springing from an
honestly innocent friendship all
but blast the happiness Of the girl
after she has become the bride
of an aristocratic Englishraan
with whose family conventionality
is q fetish. Miss Astor does an
unexpectedly facile bit OF work
in by far the most important role
she has had.
Owing to the presence on the
bill Of Warnings Pennsylvanians,
the usual concert overture by the
Metropolitan Symphony Is omitted.

four times daily through out the
week. MARC KENNEDY.

obvious by the huge buy" of the
show on the part of ticket agen-

the superlative praises Of the
critics, the agencies have bought
up tickets for the first eighteen
rows of the show for the next
eight weeks, thus paying Mr..
Ziegfeld in advance more than
$3.50. 900.
This block sale OF tickets is
probably larger than any other

MUTUAL

Arthur Lanning and his joyous
co.workers are down at the Mutual
Theater this week and those who
find their amusement in the bur-
lesque field are in for a trea-.
Lanning calls his show Stepping
Out" and it's a good name. Prin-
cipals and chorus work with
plenty Of snap and dash and the
result is swift-moving entertain
ment.
Frank rags Murphy heads the
funmakers. and is to be compli-
mented upon the clean char
acter of his material. In Sam
Gore and Benny Plat he has a
pair of capable assistants.
Gal Taylor stars among the
songbirds. She has a very good
voice and plenty of pep. Thelma
Sevelle and Laura Houston won
laurels with their singing and
dancing.
THE Dcluge" proved the fea-
ture OF the program. This novelty
called for some remarkable scenic
effects, vivid lightning storm
and a driving downpour of rain

manner. There's another snappy
chorus of goodlooking girls.

Nikita Balieff
Due With
Chauve-SOuritS

With the stamp Of unani-
nous critical approval and
public triumph in Paris and
London, Balieff's Chauve-
Souris will return to Wash
ington for a weeks engage
ment at Polls, beginning
March %, under the direc-
ton of Morris Gest. Nikita
Balieff, founder and confer
encier of the Bat Theater Of
Moscow, is bringing an en-
tirely new bill with him to
Washington, a program with
which many celebrated names
of modern Russian art and
the stage are connected.
In the production of his
new bill Balieff has enlisted
the assistance Of several Of
the most prominent living
Russian painters and artists
of the stage. The regisseur,
for instance, is Alexander
Sanin, one of the outstand-
ing names as a producer in
contemporary Russian oper-
attic annals. The new mas
ter of choreography is Boris
Romanoff, most talented of
the younger generation Of
ballet noaSfors
Artists whom Balieff has
called from their easels to
design his new settings and
costumes include Alexander
Benois, one of the two or
three leaders of modern Rus
sian painting; Nikolai Be-
nois, his talented son, and
VASTLY Shoukhaeff. The
names of Gogol, Repin, Push
kin and Tchaikovsky are in
timately associated with the
various numbers on the pro-
gram.
Of the new program, Paris,
London and New York ia
vored in particular, "Love in
the Ranks" an hilarious cpl
sode in the same spirit as
"The Parade of the Wooden
Soldiers" and "Katinka";
"Stenka Razin," an intensely
tragic moment in the career
of Russia's most famous BAN
dit. and "The Zaporozhtsi,"
a highly favored and excit-
ing recreation Of Repin's's
celebrated painting. Paris
and New York were equally
enthusiastic about "The Ar
rival at Bethlehem" which
the English censor prohibited
in London, but which will be
given in Washington.
The Washington times., 1925-03-10


AS a reflection of American
life-as it is; not as }. r. Nc
Evoy would have US see it.
'New Brooms" is the second
fine comedy / have seen this
season. More artificial in treat
ment and effectiveness than
1.-THE Goose Hangs High" and
without that plays purity OF
quality, New Brooms" is none
the-less filled with characterize
ton that rings true. 1t is IN
situation that Craven weakens,
frequently sacrificing the hui
man phase to the technical one,
and of a consequence, turning
the comedy, at times, into the
weIl-worn grooves of theatre
calism, grease paint; Kliegl
border lights-importaht to the
playhouse, yes, but rather in
cidental to the vast American
scene.
In line and phrase, Craven
is deft, sharp, poignantly anus
ing and ever delightful, and IN
New Brooms" his wit and bril-
lance of verbiage dances
through every scene. He writes
gay speeches for himself, in the
role Of the son, which is alive
with surprise lines; he knows Of
the art of making them double
surprises.
Almost as important as the
plays star is Robert McWade,
who is the father in "New
Brooms." A role that makes
exacting demands and is, at
times, ungenial, falls to Nc
Wade's lot; he gives it every
thing it needs; each touch, ges-
ture, squirt through arrogant
nose-glasses, ironic and grouchy
grunt-all are artfully stressed.
His work is superbly done.
Blyth Daily, another Sylvia
Field, is the girl in the comedy.
She's the kind of a kid a
dramatic critic always hopes to
maryland the very kind he
doesn't. In other words, a
genuine person, with no studied
dramatic tricks, just a person
I atty that expresses drama in
its fullness.
Craven has cast the remaining
roles in New Brooms" with ex-
cellent discretion, and particular
praise is due Doris Kelly--tall
and delightfully."- masculine-Al-
bert Andrews, gold digging
preacher, and John Ravold, the
family retainer, philosopher and
general Eyes sir" man. The
others are nicely placed.
If you're fed-up with sex,
melodrama, naughty music
shows and all other excess thea
ter baggage, "New Brooms" is
going to be like a May rainbow
after a drizzly rain and .
change of tires on the road.

FINANCE
Chief COMING
To AMERICA
Caillaux Will Attempt to
Settle Debt Issue in
Washington.
BY Universal Service.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 10. -
Finance Minister Caillaux is coming
to the United States with the French
debt commission prepared to discuss
the funding of the S4,211 ,000, 900
debt solely on the basis of Frances
capacity to pay, it was learned from
an authoritative source today.
NJ. Caillaux is counting heavily
upon his ability to convince Secretary
Of the Treasury Mellon, in particular,
of the inability of France to accept
terms corresponding to those which
the United States granted Great
Britain.
Because of the enormous amount in
volved and the various aspects of the
problem, NJ. Caillaux does not ex-
pect to have the entire personnel OF
both commissions participate in all
The meetings. Much of the work, the
FrcnchmanI believes, can be handled
more effectively by distributing it.
In such smaller gatherings, the
French finance minister will have
with. him Joseph Simon. active head
of the French Societe Generate and
one of M. Caillaux's closest intimates
in fiscal matters.
Reports from Paris through official
channels are regarded as indicating
plainly that NJ. Caillaux is much inn
pressed by what he was able to
achieve in London as the result of va
rious conferences with Winston
Churchill, British chancellor of the ex-
chequer, while the British financial
experts were excluded from the meet
ings
