Thrills galore dominate the ac-
ton of the picture. The ball
room scene is an orgy of under
world characters, depicted in a
manner that makes one marvel
at the ability Of the secondary
run Of motion picture players;
the fights are typical gangland
battles, waged with deadly pre-.
cision; the murder for which
Bull is sentenced to hang is a
merciless, cold-blooded shooting

BERRY -HATTON.
DUO GETTING
STALE

Having burlesuued the nations
armed forces to fare the-welI in
their prior successes, Wallace
Berry and Raymond Hatton ruin
a perfectly good Los Angeles fire
company to parade their antics
at the expense Of an otherwise
serious business to the apparent
satisfaction of Mr.. loves guests
at the Palace this week.
Their picture, "Firemen Save
My Child is devoid Of plot and
made up OF the better situations
from Behind the Front" and
Were In the Navy Now aided
no little by bushels Of clever
titles.
The little cast is practically
the same as appeared with the
pair in the Navy picture, with
Josephine Dunn furnishing what
little femininity the showing
needs.
Perhaps the most laughable
yardage OF the entire picture is
the opening Of the action where
Berry and Hatton appear as school
boys in a specially constructed
schoolroom with immense desks,
and furnishings to permit the
mammoth Berry to appear as a
6-year-old.
Fifteen Gilbert and Sullivan
soloists, featuring Charles Ross,
tenor, and Robert Norton, a bari.
tone, appear in the feature stage
presentation offering selections
from the operas, THE Pirates of
Penzance" and "Iolanthe,'' with
the popular selections, Russian
Lullaby" and that business about
butterflies in the rain, thrown in
for good measure.
Dorothy Wilson Halbach, a
soprano soloist, sings LIFTS
"Liebestraum" in a pretty set,
while pair Of dancers do their
stuff behind a veil drop.
And of course there is a show
ing Of the M-G-M newsreel, and a
UFA feature called Assorted
Babies. I"
The overture is led by Don

LEWIS STONE IN
A HAPPY
VEHICLE

We have witnessed Lewis Stone
in many characters, ranging from
hard-boiled hero of the "Mounties"
to a dignified darling of society
and in our humble opinion he has
the best role of his career in THE
Prince of Headwaiters," now play
ing at the Metropolitan Theater.
It's a human and likeable yarn and
Mr.. Stone at last comes down from
his perch of repression to play a
very human character in a very
hkeable manner.
THE Prince of Headwaiters'
centers about a French student,
who through an unfortunate mar
riage, exiles himself to America
and there accumulates a fortune
while functioning as a head waiter.
Here in the swirling night life of
the great city he comes into con-
tact with a son whose existence
is unknown to him. The boy, rich,
foolish and dominated by false
pleasures, becomes SHARED in the
schemes of bright little gold
digger and the father throws his
brains in the game to save him.
That's the outline and any more
information would steal half the
pleasure gained by viewing for
yourself a most enjoyable screen
feature.
Aside from the star, the play is
presented by well.balanced cast,
which includes LiIyan Tashman,
Priscilla Bonner, Robert Agnew,
Ann Rock and John Pat Patrick.
The Metropolitan World Survey
takes us afar with the camera and
allows interesting views OF great
people and big events. There's
a bright Big Boy screen comedy
and color subject Of interest and
beauty.

chestra, under the direction of
Daniel Breeskin, gives delightful

BEE LILLE AND
SOME OTHER
FESTOONERY

A hardly more than mediocre
bill''-with tidbits of excellence
cropping out here and there-put
itself on the boards at Keith's
yesterday and drew no more ap-
plause than it deserves.
Beatrice Lille, hailed as an in.
ternational star, used to be that
but to US she isn't any more for
the same reason that lot of
stars of yesteryear aren't. We
give her the glad hand neverthe-
less because she does many,
many things that echo of Yester-

comedienne of Ito us) the back
IN the days when" school. But
she's still headI!ning at Keith's
and there you have it!
Harry Mayo and Basil Lynn,
whom we have never seen be-
fore, in Two Strange Gentle
men," are keen laughmakers and
undoubtedly surpass anything
meant to be humorous on the bill.
Their lines are exceptionally de-
lightful to the English ear and
the type of comedy run off by
this pair is far above the aver
age of the two-a-day transformer
of the vintage of 1927.
Alice zeppilli, late pri1na donna
Of the Chicago Opera, is certainly
to the liking of that clique of
theatergoers who pause in their
breathing when the classics of
song are about to be given them.
Her numbers were good-just like
her reception.
A new Straightforward expert
imported no doubt--in the person
of the apologize. Frakson comes
to us with snowy manners in an
act that is chuck full of clever
ness and devised to give one
slant into Thurston mysticism.
Frank .EVers and Greta, on the
first course of the bill, again greet
us in why Ring" Evers, we
should say, is dancing fool on
the tight wire.
Virginia Bacon and her new
company follow out a musical
comedy scheme that rings of good
things. This little t.oupe is we'll
worth while, and, led by Miss
Bacon, wins a deserved amount of
our praise.

Favorably Known

J. Humbird Duffy, whose Gil.

is now appearing at Loew's Palace,
is well known to Washingtonians,
Mr.. Duffy was a member of Win.
throp Anes company at Polls
Theater last spring. and previous
to that, was the leading tenor with
the De Wolf Hopper company
for IL weeks at the same house.
Mr.. Duffy's long association with
Gilbert and Sullivan operas led
him to believe that there was a
field for this type of entertainment
in the presentation houses. The
reception accorded him in New
York city and elsewhere bears out
that theory.
The Washington times., 1927-10-03

The interesting prologue, the
biggest Washington has ever
seen, fades into a gorgeous tab
leau showing the United States
Marines carrying the American
flag and their corps banner,
while shells burst around them
and Conductor Adolph Kornspan
whips the orchestra into frenzy.
What Price Glory" in celluloid
was seen here quite a while ago,
so it will do no harm to tell
about it all over again. The
story revolves around the rivalry
of Captain F.agg and Sergeant
Quirt, two hard-boiled Marines,
engaged simultaneously in trying
to beat Germany and seeking to
beat each other for the favor of
Charmaine, the pretty French
girl at whose home they are
billeted.
The picture depends but little
on the Stallings-Anderson play
for action. which is just as it
should be. A picture should
never be carbon copy of a
stage play. Consequently the
scene in the dug-out, probably
the most effective in the speak.
ing version, was not built up
in the picture, and was passed
as quickly as possible. Whether
this slight was a mistake or not
Is something that might be ar.
gued at length by cinema critics.
What Price Glory" is full of
laughs, and lip.readers will get
an additional kick out of reading
the lips of the hard,cussing Flagg
and his playmate, Quirt. The
love scenes are handled without
kid gloves. Sometimes they wax
agreeably warm.
Victor McLag.en and Edmund
Lowe are ideally cast as Flagg
and Quirt, and Dolores Del Rio
is very appealing as Charmaine.
Ted Mcnamara takes the comedy
prize in the role of Kiper, with
Sammy Cohen close second. A
SOB bit is splendidly done by
Barry Norton. The photographers
did a good job, and Director
Raoul Walsh's stock went up 100
per cent by this picture.
The prologue has for its set
ting a behind-the-lines estaminet,
with a lot of Marines. girls,
French soldiers and couple Of
sailors. Doug Stanbury leads the
crowd in the Marines hymn, and
