FOX FEATURES
GOOD STAGE
PROGRAM

There is always a quaint charm
about the elfin-like May McAVoy.
Even in the rather thrill-less "A
Reno Divorce" current at the
Fox, the pattern of this lady of
lOVeliness relieves the tedium.
Otherwise the picture is medi-
OGRE mixture, mere unfolding
Of film footage.
OF the innumerable side fea-
lures of the Fox spreads on the
entertainment banquet table, the
dancers fresh and fleeing, are
the appetizer. They weave pretty
figures TO Relationships music
from the Nut Cracker Suite"
they wear colorful frocks; they
are vivid at times and at other
times bit boring through too
lengthy presence.
Russian overtones mark the
stage picture. As a matter Of
truth the Russian stuff goes to
the tableau extreme; there is
not enough of the samovar, the
COssack fervor, the movement of
the steppes. Even though Prince
Ulanoff juggles knives dexter
ously, Nina Sergeyeva and her
boy friend cut comedy dancing
capers, the Balalaika musicians
play the "Volga Boatmen," and
Veronica takes to her toes. Fred
Berrens is master Of ceremonies
this week.
Lawrence Downey singing Ber-
Inns Russian Lullaby" Ia Span
tsh folk-song dressed up like a
Tzarist is not of great moment.
Muriel La France in 1.-The Shadow
Song from Dinorah is more
fetching. In better tone. too.
The program boasts eye-taking
pictures. What is missing in quail
ity is atoned for in production
prodigality. What marvellous facil-
tiles this theater owns What
opportunities for mounting pic
turesque ballets, campact, but
captivating operettas. What splen-
did chances for vivid, Voluble
and valiant productions, from
the zarZuela to the grand opera
type! A movetone news reel of
exceptional interest and short
subjects complete the bill.---F. l.. B.

VELEz SHARES
WIT H ROD
AT EARLE

Rod La ROGUE and Lupe Velez
in the ill-titled stand and De-
liver share honors with stage ar
lists at the Earle this week who
present Around the Clock" offer
ing to hearty applause.
The generous Fairbanks did the
screen world credit by lifting the
clever Miss VeleZ from obscurity
to stardom-for in the current re-
lease her artistry is as much in
evidence as the Rod La Rocque
brand of acting. From one scene
to another she is as much 3 part
of the series as the starred char
acting. From one scene to an
other she is as much a part OF
the series as the started char
acter who leaves London and
womer tromentors for adventure
only to gain the latter two in
quantity.
To trap. a bandit in the Gre
clan hills La ROGUE himself be-
comes a bandit after he has put
himself in a bit, Of trouble to
save a peasant girl from the
clutches of a superior officer in
the Greek army. What follows
eventful enough for him who
seeks to deliver himself and his
beloved from the hands of q
gang of desperate rogues. The
dashing La ROGUE captures the
bandit single-handed and turns
him over to the Greek authori-
ties.
The stage artists led by Jack
Pepper give an unusually good
account of themselves. The
Three Colds do a bit of har-
monizing much like that which is
heard over the radio: Marty White
does a clever act all his own;
Lady Tsen Mel has a song or
two to offer with slight char
acter: Morcsco and Daniels hit a
warm spot with their dancing,
Mildred La Sale, sings her way
from Chicago to the Capital and
the Ten Kaufman Girls open and
close the show with their chorus

Early in the season a certain
amount of furry was occasioned
around the dramatic desks when
it was discovered that Bayard
WELLER had torn up or otherwise
destroyed his dramatization Of
Sinclair Lewis novel. Elmer
Gantry." Later, on December 81,
it was reported that Patrick
Kearney had made an adaptation.
1t was rumored at the time that
Mr.. WELLER had preserved a copy
or the work he had done away
with.

theatrical activities, one finds no
mention of Elmer Gantry," so
that Joseph Shea's communication
that he will soon produce MIR.
Kearney's version in Cleveland
and Providence with his stock

taken to indicate that the play
may be at least on its way to

He Protests

To the Motion Picture Editor:
Dear Sir: In some of the pre-
liminary advertising of the pic
ture now showing at the Earle
Theater in this city, it is stated
that the picture Is a truthful re-
production of life in some por-
lions of Greece since the war.
1t would be as truthful to call
the Hal Roach comedy at the
same theater a truthful repre-
sentation of life in Washington
at the present time, as to say
that stand and Deliver" is any
thing like Greece.
All the bandits in Greece since
the war are not equal in number
to those to be found in any
American city of the first-class
today.
The writer has recently returned
from a year in Greece where he
visited the section where the
scene of this picture is laid and
feels competent to express an
oninion on the subject. During
the entire trip, which took him
through all the sections of the
country, not a bandit was seem
nor was there any evidence that
any existed.
Yours very truly,
B, P. SALMON,
Director.

New Aide for Lloyd

Speedy" Lloyd's latest comedy,
released by Paramount, the major
screen offering at CrandalIs
Metropolitan Theater. introduces
a new leading lady TO his many
fans. She is Ann Christy, a
Baby Wampas star for 1928. She
had but little film experience
when chosen by Lloyd to l.lay OPP
posite him. He selected Miss
Christy for the part. as he thought
she best typified the modern New
York girl.
The comedy has a New York
background and many of the
scenes were filmed actually in
New York City, creating a de-
parture in all Lloyd comedies.
