1t meant losing two much-needed
rehearsals and the troupe can
hardly afford to be identified with
such ragged work as was imposed
upon us last night. BY tonight or
tomorrow the performance will
acquire the polish which is GUS
tomary with this company. Even
then there will be an absent de-
sideratum, for "The Ghost Train"
is not such-a-much as a play.

Clifford Brooke is far under par,

acquit themselves as actors, by

director at all.
This is a tough show to cast
because the obscure gentleman who
wrote it thought less Of char
acterization than he did of cor

of hokum and splattering 1t all

little to be said for individuals,
aside from the skillful and intel

come down.

THE HECTIC DAYS
OF RAMPANT
REVOLT

A drama Of the French Revolu-
ton came to the Little Theater
yesterday. a drama told as only
the U. f. A. Company can do.
All the passions. stupid mobs, and
atmosphere of this great period Of
history are caught in a story OF
the downfall Of Danton-the hero
Of the affair.
Emil Jannings, the greatest Of
them all, has the role Of Danton,
and the Motion Picture Guild is to
be congratulated for letting us
have q look at this characterize
ton. With Werner Kraus, who
plays Robespierre, he makes the
picture worthy thing. This pic
ture was evidently picked to lend
little variety to the programs
there-since regular rooters come
back every week, knowing that
there is something worthwhile on
tap.
Jannings uses all of his well
known tricks and ability, making
Danton the blustery and lady
loving man that he was, and not a
super heroic figure. After all,
Danton, like the rest Of us, lived
and breathed, and Jannlngs works
on this premise.
In the scene before the Tribunal,
where Danton Is on trial, his work
is superb. Werner Kraus does a
good bit az Robespierre, and the
rest Of the cast Is well chosen.
Several excellent short subjects
are also on the bill, including a
VIII Rogers comedy, beautiful
and imaginative novelty called the
Enchanted City," and an impress

Directors Nightmare. The, Bal

siasm is an asset, Miss Particola
is rich In assets and her en-
thusiasm spreads to her audience.
And don't forget Miss Clark,

ing to get along in the world.
Like Patricola, she fairly bubbles
with enthusiasm. Though much
of her act has been seen here
before, it registered successfully.

For years It catered to the
best and the best only Of the
theatrical trade, but eventually
it fell upon evil times. Larger
and better hotels began to get
the elite Of the profession, and
Cobb'ss became the home Of the
blonde chorus girl and the slap
stick comedian. Located in the
heart of what was then known
as Washington's Night Life,
Cobb's became the center Of bo-
hemian life and pleasure was the
only pass word recognized.
The years passed and old John
Law took hand in the game.
Things quieted down and after
many ups and downs Cobb's was
taken over by Mrs. Sheppard and
conducted as a sort of a combina-
ton theatrical and mechanics
hotel.
In the heyday of its glory,
Cobb's was only one Of the many
picturesque little theatrical board
ing houses scattered about down
town. Mother Rosenberg, the
first lady to introduce bobbed
hair in Washington, presided over
the affairs of a popular little
place at go Pennsylvania Ave.

old woman and claimed thousands
of friends in all branches Of the
profession.

At the opening of the 1928 radio
sales season, A. Atwater Kent an.
nounced to a national meeting of
radio distributors yesterday in Phil,
adelphia that because of tremendous
production facilities he had put
into operation for this season the
public will receive the benefit Of a
20 per cent average reduction on all
his radio products. This reduction
begins today.
ut is right" said Mr.. Kent. "that
purchasers should share in the re-
suit of up-to-date manufacturing
methods in everything. This is the
tendency of the time.
Tin our 15-acre factory our pro-
duction engineers and experts, since
the inception of radio. have been
working out manufacturing econo
mics which smaller factories per-
haps could not accomplish. The
new prices are in keeping with the
long-esta blished Atwater Kent pol
icy of sharing with the public the
results of economies as fast as they
are put into practical operation"
At the peak of his production last
season, Mr.. Kent was producing
5000 sets a day. He turned out
his millionth set last December.
