RIALTO-Tallxing Pictures-"Sensa-
ton Seekers"

A De Forest phonofilm Offering is
the novel feature of a double bill at
the Rialto Theater this week, the
other half of which is Sensation
Seekers" a film version of Ernest
Pascals story. Egypt
The phonofilm. which is presented
for the first time in Washington,
offers a program by the Club Alabam
a group of talented entertainers. The
process which records the sound with
the action Of the performers is un.
doubtedly one of the wonders of the
age. However, from the viewpoint of
its value as popular entertainment,
there is something else to be said. The
photography is dark and quite jerky
in spots, and the sound, though per
fectly synchronized. reminds one of
the old-time graphophone, with it's
rasping and grating noises. Time
alone will tell whether or not these
defects can be removed. At present
ones reaction to the phonofilm is that
of marvel rather than actual enjoy
ment.

opened the second week of it's current
engagement at Polls yesterday. 1t is
one of the outstanding film achieve

Some of the funniest and best acted
comedy ever screened has been in
jected into the picture. Also. the
scope of the plot has been elaborated
TO include scenes in China and the
Philippines.
The outstanding role is admirably
acted by Victor McLaglen as Capt.
Flagg. His characterization is a re-
lnarkable piece of pantomimic inter
probation. Edmund Lowe plays the
part of Sergt, Quirt, while Dolores
Del Rio softens to a considerable
extent the role of Charmaine. Ted

Alex Tells Secrets
 Of Pitching Success
BY GROVER ALEXANDER

l l have heard it remarked by man, 1 pitchers that they do not bear dowr | until they are in a pinch. In other
 words. they almost invite the batiers ! to hit them safely and then with men on the bases they are ready tc
 go to work. This is the wrong sys. ! tenn.
 Baseball is too uncertain for the greatest Of pitchers to be positive of ! getting out of these tough spots. Th, risk is too sreat--a flukc hit. error, wild pitch or the lik. is always possible.
 I start out 10 win every game I pitch. My game is pitched from tho first ball On and not from the fourt h or fifth inning.
 When the season opens a pitcher should be trained 10 go at full speed for nine innings and not to save himself for tho tight spots. Tn- less he is. he may find himself on his way 10 the clubhouse before tho time has arrived for him 10 tighten.
 The mistake many young pitch CTS make is in getting too excited in the pinch, They are natural with their pitching until several runners get on. Say it is q tie score. What happens" The pitcher feels he must get a tighter grip on the ball, he must use more speed and the result is he is trying 10 burn the ball past the baiters without any judgment.
 Remember this-use the head as much as the arm. I am meeting with pretty good success by com bining the head with the arm.
 Another thing-I have never been able 10 agree with tho pitchers who. when they get two strikes and no balls on batter, deliberately waste one or two pitches. They co not tease their batter by putting one close to the strike line and give them the chance of having the bat ter chase 1t.
 Don't waste anything. With two strikes and no balls give the batter the next one that will be close to a corner, Frequently you may nip the corner
 Major league hatters are a smart lot. A majority of them have a keen eye. The truly great battcrs will take a ball that Is few inches inside or outside, when they feel confident 1t is ball. Some times the umpires do not agree with them. like the pitcher. believe if Is over. That Of course, Is one of the gambles of the game.
 To throw ball so wide Of the plate that there is no doubt in the mind of everyone that it is bad ball is wasted effort. If a pitcher insists on not getting the ball over. he should keep it close enough that the batsman may be tempted to go after 1t and there Is the possibility the umpire may rule it strike. That Is smar. pitching.
