Belle Bennett dominates the
performance. 1t is her consum-
mate skill and superb acting
rather than any unusual quality
in the play itself, which makes q
picture worth seeing. No such
height is herein attained as her
impassioned portrayal of Stella
Dallas but wherever there is an
opportunity for supreme ges-
ture it is perfectly done. Mary
Carr, capably portrays a similar
role in this performance. Wendall
Phillips Franklin as Sonny" a
new child actor. takes his place
in the foremost ranks of juve-
niles. The supporting cast in
cludes June Marlowe, Kathleen
Myers, Henry Victor. Robert Ag-
new and Leigh Willard.
The story briefly deals with the
problems of Virginia Miss Ben
nett, an orphan who marries a
man devoted to his mother. The
age-old situation ollows-jealousy,
misunderstanding and the ultimate
leave-taking with her little boy.
Then another marriage ends dis
astrously. Only when the years
place her in similar position in
her sons home, does she find a
complete understanding. Re.
pentant she seeks to make amends
to her first mother-in-law and so
a happy ending.

FILM

The Strand Players provide
something really pleasing in the
line of music this week. Bright
little gems Of melody run through
the sketchey comedy bits and
carry off the top honors. Comedy
there is in plenty. In spots it's
a bit familiar, but. on the whole,
it is bright and snappy and gets
the laughs.
Irving Hamp and Lew Lewis
are prominent in the witty crea-
tions and give some splendid
character work. Earl Root and
Tom Brewer have humorous crea-
tions Of diversified nature and
make good in them.
Tereta Schaffer,s Rene Vincent,
Billie La Monte, and Mary
Deery are the singers and dancers
and they are generous with their
offerings. Among the good vocal
numbers are Everything Nice
About YOU" Help A Sailor" and
Give Me A Smile" Dances Of an
international character are por.
trayed gracefully by the girls in
the chorus. Altogether, it's a very
good show. Arthur. and Harry
Manville, two local boys, have
composed several of the musical
numbers while the first named OF
the two shines in directing his
orchestra in a fine musical score.
On the screen this week is pre-.
scented Down the. Stretch" a
snappy story of the race track.
1t carries a, story packed with
thrills, climaxing in a dramatic

The film version of the famous
Casey" poem takes little more
than the name from the doggerel.
Mr.. Casey, the village junkman
of Centerville in the gay Nineties,
is a sterling bali player, who is
snapped up by the New York
Giants because Of his batting
prowess.
He is pursued by two comic
villains Ford Sterling and a new
comic whose name doesn't stick
just now. The latter can best be
described as a second edition of
DIN Rowland. Zasu Pitts, is the

The picture mixes its decades

atmosphere. But nobody cares.

LOPEZ LAMS OUT
HIGH-CEARE
MEDLEY

With Vincent Lopez and his
Casa Lopez Orchestra filling the
star spot on the program at the
Earle Theater this week, the mu-
sic lovers are treated to some fine
instrumental melody. Vincent and
his crowd are warm favorites in
Washington and upon this occa-
sion they out-shine all past efforts
with the briiliance OF their work.
The bill offered included gems from
Victor Herbert, one or two syncos
pated airs and few popular num-
bers. Five Minutes in a Mad.
house" frightened the moments
with some real humof.
Fleurette Jeoffrie, a Washington
girl, captured her audience with
the rare beauty Of her voice. Miss
Jeoffrie sang three classical num-
bers and made her biggekt hit with
a Swedish echo song. first sung in
America by Jenny Lind. Racine
and Ray, two humorous young
women, got off some sparkling
comedy and sang several songs
very we'll.
Jackie Collier does stunts on the
swinging wire which includes a
Jazz dance. Her sister helps out
by taking the bows. Keno and
Green have some slapstick comedy
and eccentric dances that prove
dull and tiresome.
Love EN- and Leave EN-" Is
the inviting title Of the screen fea-
ture. It's a plot concerning the
love affairs of a working boy and
girl and a sisters sacrifice. Moth.
ing to get excited about, but inter
esting. The Earle News presents
some good camera shots OF big
events and important people. A
good short comedy and some exs
cellent music by Floyd Wheeler's.
Orchestra and Alexander Arons are
other bits on the good program.
