her wash the day before.
"Thank you, I shall try to find
one," spoke the bunny politely,
and out of his hollow stump bun

far before he reached q wide puddle
of mud and water left by the rain
of the night.

ny, and, gathering his legs beneath
him, through the air hoped Mr..
Longears. He was 4 good jumper,
as all rabbits are, and he easily
cleared the puddle, coming safely
down on the other side.
But as he looked back, to see how

tell Nurse Jane of his big jump

Wiggily looked back he saw, stand

Nesting in the low hills Of
Baden, Germany, is the little village
of Freiburg where simple country
folk periodically, since the year
1862, have presented q Passion Play,
depicting with religious fervor the
dramatic incidents climaxed by the
scene on Calvary from which most
of the western world derives it's
spiritual inspiration.
The Freiburg Passion Play is the
eldest on record, antedating the
better known Oberammergau play
by several hundred years. Like the
other production the roles are
handed down to the peasants from
father to son through generations.
The filming of this great biblical
tragedy under the direction OF
Dmitri Buchowetski for presenta-
ton throughout the world is a
noteworthy enterprise and few

portrayed, the Nazarene with fine
restraint, the betrayer with his
evil emotions racking his frame.
The lesser roles of Plate and
the high priests are also admir-
ably done. Pontius PLATE is rep
resented as a kindly, sensible
ruler who tries in vain to stem
the passions of the mob, melted
by the priests, clamoring for the
crucifixion.
The chief fault We have to find
with the film as entertainment is
that the drama Is preceded by an
eA planatory film showing Freiburg
and the peasants and how the
picture was produced. 1t is as If
the producers of the Thief or
Pagdad" were to open their bag
OF tricks and show how the fairy
tale was filmed on the Lots at
Hollywood.
The mob scenes in, the Passion
Play must also come in for crit.
icism. They were too mechan-
ically handled to warrant of any
praise.
A choir prelude of fifty voices
and a large symphony orchestra
supplement the Passion Play rep
resentation and help constitute an
exceedingly worthy program.

Excuse Me" was a riot on the

On the screen it's a Cyclone"
And those Of you who frequent
the Palace this week are going
to- laugh to the point of exhaus-
ton at this hilarious film version
with the sirenically stunning
Norma Shearer and the calm
Conrad Nagel, the would-be mar
ried folks who have such diff
ficulties tossed in their way when
setting out to find a minister
willing to do a rush job OF ad-
n1inistering the prescribed vows
and ceremonies. .
Here we have screen comedy OF
n thoroughly delicious order-rol-
licking, uninterrupted, fastidious
and spasmodic. With, Of course,
the Shearer queen adding her in
herent charm and quaintness to
the characterization which she
colors SO aptly.
Without giving away the in
gratiating elements that are weld
ed into a tale that sweeps at
merry pace to a delightful con-
clusion, it can be said that the
lovers in Excuse Me" are matri-
mony-bound with a limited time
allotted in which to get the we'll
known knot securely and safely
tied. Ministers are not SO easily
spotted. they discover. when. one
beg pardon, two are in a hurry.
Situations 'dove-tail together with
unexpected rapidity and surprise.
Fascinating "Shearer" is a smart,
speedy little "bride-to-be," whose
collaboratiVe work with Conrad
Nagel makes for continuous hu
NOR, skipping with school-boy
abandon through the comedic
genre.
EXCUSE Me" is an emulsion Of
both high and low comedic an
tics, cohensive, cultivated In spots
and always. like a Navy cruiser,
loaded with laugh-bombs.
In support Of the two leads,
Walter HERS and John Boles, to-
gether a striking ensemble OF
talented screen entrepreneurs Of
fer work that is in key with the
general tone Of this celluloid
farce.
Excuse Me-" Is a genuine re-
lief from the sex stuff that has
been overcrowding local screens Of
late. 1t has sex aspect, to be
sure, but it is one expressed in
terms Of the absurd.

the appearance Of George Niblo

company, the aggregation de-
veloped lightning speed and it was
maintained throughout the per-

Niblo and Spencer have long
been favorites with Washington
audiences. Niblo's tramp charac-

cure place in burlesque circles,
while Miss Spencer's dancing has
made her an outstanding, figure
on the Columbia circuit. This

them plenty of opportunities to
do their stuff ard they certainly
hoped to it last night. Seldom
has the Ninth street playhouse
rocked with such applause as was
showered upon this talented
couple and their associates.

HENRY MILLER IN
NEW PLAY AT
BELASCO

We were commissioning
the third act of "After Love-"
at least-that the kind of bond
between two people of opposite
sex that poets delight in pic
turing really does exist in every
day life.
What was said during this
part Of the play now appearing
at the Belasco Theater had little
or no part in giving birth to
this conviction-it was the act
ing of Henry Miller.
Henry Miller, a peer in his pro-
fession, aided by uncomfortable
years of theatrical experience, was
the master OF situation which,
if entrusted to almost any other
performer OF today. would have
been merely an incident in the
play.
Save that at times his voice is
scarcely audible past the first few
rows Of seats, the man who 10
now sixty-five years old is still
able to keep firm grasp on the
laurels that he won many years
ago.
His vehicle, which is adapted
from the French, is pleasing, but
has only small amount Of clever
ness. Yet the final curtain
descends before an audience that
is reluctant to leave the audito.
hum, for acting Of the cAliber
that he presents does not become
tiresome, eevr!
In the first act Carlotta Mon.

unfaithful wife, rather heavily
handles a scene. in which she Is
making a desperate effort to re-
gain the love that she spurned.
She is to become the mother OF

than her husband and seeks him
as a shield to her shame. Instead
