In Favor Maine Date

It Was learned yesterday that

declined an invitation recently re-
ceived from the Liberty Memorial
Association of Kansas City, Missou-
ri, to deliver an address on the same
platform with President Calvin
Coolidge, the Secretary of War, and
the National Commander of the

dedicating their new home on Nov
ember 18th. During the afternoon
a reception will be rendered the

1t will be noted that in accordance

''SEABEAST" GOES
INTO SECOND
WEEK

Romance and adventure are
spIendidly blended in the great film
version of Herman Melville's
"Moby Dick" entitled for the
screen 1.-THE Sea Beast" which
yesterday began it's second week at
the Rialto. John Barrymore is the
star, and it is undoubtedly his
greatest film vehicle to date,
although he achieved success and
distinction in "Dr. Jekyll and Mr..
Hyde" and Beau Brummel."
The story deals with the New
England whaIers of the 1910 period.
and Barrymore plays the role of
Capt. Ahab Ceeley, one of the most
daring and able of all who went
down to the sea in ships" The
production is a splendid reflection
Of the courage and skill of the
mariners of the last century, and
entwined in the epic of the Whalers
is a romance of charm and tender
beauty.
Dolores Costello. daughter OF
faVorite of a decade ago, has the
principal role opposite Barrymore
and an excellent cast appears in
their support. The sweep and fire
Of the story are greatly accentuat-
ed by the admirable orchestral &C

ton having been specially aug
mented for the engagement OF this

SHAW RELElVTS;
POSES FOR
CAMERA

George Bernard Shaw. famous
dramatist, philosopher and sati-
rist, has at last made his bow
to the motion picture camera.
Always cynical about motion pic
lures, as of many other things,
Shaw has been the bane of the
cameraman's existence. On one
or two occasions when intrepid
cameramen attempted 70 make
pictures Of him, Shaw flew into
such a rage as precluded all
thought for that particular
photographer of ever getting him
before the camera
Tt was a remarkable coinci-
dence that while the British Par
lament was discussing ways and
means whereby England's posi-
ton in the film world would be
improved, Shaw unexpectedly
agreed to pose. These first pic
lures Of him are being shown ex-
clusiveIy by International News
Reel at Loew's Columbia this
week.
The screen shows different
Shaw than that with which the
public is so familiar. Often
times there is a kindly CLINT in
his twinkling eyes and there are
one or two rare shots" which
show him laughing gleefully
kindly. lovable, loving man.
quite different from the perpetual
crouch.
Not the least remarkable in
these first motion pictures OF
Bernard Shaw Is scene which
shows him writing this message
to the movie fans: Think kindly
of me; / am harmless and hard
working creature trying to put
things straight for you and amuse
you a little at the lsame time"
The pictures were made in the
home of Shaw in England.

it is lifting accompaniment
to the action Of the story.
If you've ever read the book or
seen the play, you will get fresh
pleasure out of the music that
has been inspired by the adven-
lures of Rudolph Rassendye in
the little principality Of Ruri-
tania, where, posing as the corwn
prince, he falls in love with the
beautiful Princess Flavia; thwarts
the Black Duke Michael. who has
designs on the throne. and saves
it for the real prince. who spends
most of the evening dead drunk
in a dungeon.
If you've seen neither, a full
evening awaits you.
The piece has been splendidly
cast and beautifully produced.
Some of the 200 may be shy on
histrionic talent, but there is not
a weak voice among them. The
difficulties in staging such
story, which moves amid corona
tions and other royal claptrap,
are obvious, but J. G. Huffman
has mastered them like a genius
Further. the piece is faithful to
the book, even to the ending.
The cast is headed by Harry
Welchman, who is admirable in
the dual role of Rudolph Rassen-
i.
crown prince of Ruritania, and
Evelyn Herbert, who is Princess
Flavia. Supporting them are
William Pringle as General Sapt;
John Clark as the daredevil Ru-
pert of HentZau; Margaret Breen,
a captivating miss, as Helga:
Felicia Drenova as Antoinette de
Mauban, the co-conspiratOr of
the Black Duke Michael. whose
role is taken by Douglas r. Dunn
brille Frank Lalor has the
comedy role. There are others
deserving praise. but lack OF
space forbids their mention.
The score is rich from begin
