The Moving Picture Album
BY ROBERT e. SHERWOOD.

That shows how effective the vita.
phone Is.
In one respect the vitaphone is de-
ficient. Comedians. appearing before
or through 1t, don't know how long
to wait for their laughs. Mr.. Jessel
put over one nifty after another. but
much that ne said was drowned out
by the appreciative roars of merri-
ment. Had he been there in person
he would have waited after each
wheeze for hours If necessary, the
last ripple of laughter to subside.

The last half of the evenings en-
tertainment at the Colony was taken
up with The Better Ole" which
proved to be an uproarious and highly
satisfactory comedy of the British
Tommies in the World War. 1t is too
long, but the dull spots are readily
identifiable and will probably have
been eliminated before these words
struggle into print.
sgd Chaplin. forsa king his female
impersona tons. appear as Old Bill.
he sturdy character, created by Capt,
Bruce BARNS . her in the dark days
when it WASH t easy to make people
laugh. Mr.. Chaplin is splendid. He
successfully submerges himself in his
role and thus retains the true spirit of
the Bairnsfat ther cartoons.
At times THE Better ole" is realis-
tic, and at other times it bursts into
wild, hysterical burlesque. Needless
to say the latter moments are produc-
tive of the louder laughs.
Between the vitaphone and THE
Better Ole it seems that the War
ner Brothers have another substan-
tial success on their hands-an enter
tainment that will draw enormous
crowds everywhere.
Certainly the vitaphone is due to
cha nge the whole aspect of the amuse-
ment industry-movies, vaudeville and
plays as well. 1t is too close to per-
fection now to be rated as a mere eX-
pertinent. With Al Jolson singing
from the screen as effectively as he
sings from the stage, there is no
longer any doubt about the enormous
value of this incredible machine.
