In William Fox's Screen Version of
 WHAT PRICE GLORY"

"What Price Glory" is marked by one of the greatest performances ever flashed upon the screen, that Of Victor MCLagen. the hard boiled captain of the Marines, who gives q portrayal which is astounding. In 'act you cannot imagine anyone else in this marvellous role after seeing NclHgcns' performance Edmund Lowe, as the shifty Ser g"ant Quirt, also gives striking portrayal Of most difficult part, and Dolores Del Rio, as the charm ing, seductive charmaino, could not, in our opinion. have given a stronger imprrsonatiou. Tho com ody sequences in this remarkable drama contain more laughs than any picture of the past five years, and due credit should br given the performances of Ted McNamara and Sammy Cohen for their con'ri- buttons to the funny side of this magnificent cinema entertainment.
 There will be continuous shows daily with the doors opening today at 12;oo. On sunday night two per tormanc"s will l." given. one at G:30 and tn" other at $50. In order 10 oid the rush on sunday evening t'" doors will open at 5:5o.

lin, naive without being commonplace.
In the third act of "The Idle Inn,"
the scene between Itzik and Malta m
the forest, there is luxuriant writ
ing, words that break into flame and
smolder in the darkness.
The plays chief weakness is its
unconvincing end. "The Idle Inn,"
for all its romantic usefulness, is
comedy, and the tragic conclusion
bears no organic relationship to the
spirit of the play.
Uneven acting, often strident and
exaggerated mar the plays essential
delicacy. Once more the Yiddish ac-
tor, trained in naturalistic schools
with the emphasis on the individual
rather than on the play, stumbles over
any role that happens to be outside
his particular genre. There is, how
ever, good work by Helen Zelinskaia,
as Malta, Anatol Vinogradoff, as
Itzik, and Gershon Rubin, as Maita's
grandfather.

Jewish Peasant Life

When in 1921 Jacob Ben-Ami made

appeared in was Peretz Hirshbein's
"The Idle Inn," which he had per-

Der correctly, it proved flop. The
Idle Inn" was probably too intimately
Yiddish for successful translation,
lacking as it did the melodramatic
appeal of "The Dybbuk."
Now Ben-Ami, back on the Yid-
dish stage again, has revived this
classic of the modern Yiddish drama
at the Irving Place Jewish Art The

alternating with Anatol Vinogradoff.
The latter played the part on the

Steals Bride.
"The Idle Inn" is based on a folk
tale and its people have an elemental
simplicity and heartiness. Malta,
country girl, is in love with her cousin,
Itzik, gay, handsome, clustering lad.
But her father, Bendet, has other
plans for her and arranges match
with Leibush, the SON of neishbor.
There is an old inn, said to be haun-
ted by evil spirits, which Bendet pro-
posed to rebuild for the young couple.
At the wedding feast three mys-
terious merchants appear and bring
gifts for the bride. While the cele-
bration is at it's height, 1tzik steals
her away from under the very nose
of the bridegroom. They wander
about in the forest, where in scene
of alternate lovemaking and recrim-
nation, they are discovered by Ben
Diet, who rescues his daughter after
a struggle with Itzik.
In the final act Bendet, goaded
by the evil spirits, becomes insane
and sets fire first to the idle inn and
then to his own house.
