performance in United Artists picture,
THE Woman Disputed" being held over
for a second week at Loew's Columbia.
Nor is Miss Talmadge the only attrac-
ton in this popular feature. Arnold
Kent and Gilbert Roland (who bears
such striking resemblance to John
Gilbert, by the way, that one could cas-
lily imagine his off-stage name being in
the reverse order) are pair admirably
suited to complete the trio of stars in
this triangle. Kent gives an excep-
tionally fine Interpretation of Russian
officer whose passions are unleashed
by war and thwarted love in most un-
gentlemanly manner, though not with
out certain restraint, which marks his
Interpretation Of his role as unusually
skillful.
Roland as Paul Is lover to whom
Mary Ann plights her troth when the
war bells ring. calling the young Aus
trian officer and his friend, Nika, to
battle on opposing sides. BY twist OF
fate, Mary Ann is captured by the Rus
sian forces under this same Nika, and
it is placed within her power to save the
Austrians from annihilation in that Sec
tor, but only by sacrificing her fiance's
| love. The story itself Is not unusual,
but the manner of it's presentation Is
such that it cannot fail to charm.
OF the additional features, the one
of most interest, perhaps, is the Fox
Movietone news reel presenting King
George of England. when Dreams
Come True" Tiffany color classic,
pictures the romance of the sea-swept
shore of Cape Cod. An M. G. M. news
reel also is shown, and Johnny Marvin

Odette Myrtil offers character songs

METROPOLITAN-"Uncle Toms
Cabin"

"Uncle Toms Cabin" produced by
Universal at a reported cost of more
than $2,000,000, and directed by Harry
Pollard. will probably occupy as i'm
portant a place in screen history as
the original story by Mrs. Stowe oc-
Cupies in American political and literary
history. Masterful direction, excellent
photography of plantation scenes, the
movietone accompaniment in which the
joy and sorrow of an enslaved race are
reflected in melodies sung by the Dixie
Jubilee Singers and the superb quality
of the acting have combined to produce
a picture which, by no means, is seen
one day and forgotten the next. Sew
eral changes from the original story
are made in the continuity. They add
to the suspense and effectiveness of the
screen presentation.
Margarita Fisher makes a very sue
ceSSful appearance as Eliza and Mona
Rey gives an impersonation of Topsy
which is unsurpassed for forcefulness
and realism. The naughtiness of that
inimitable imp of mischief throws the
audience into convulSions of mirth in
one scene, and in the next the poignant
grief and desofate loneliness of the
little black girl who thinks that Evas
death has deprived her of her only

Uncle Tom, as the contented servitor
of the Shelby family, the sad but faith
full slave of little Eva and the victim
of Simon Legree's brutality, is very
good. George Seigmann's impersona-
ton of Legree is an outstanding ex-
ample of screen acting
More than 5000 persons are said to
have taken part in this production,
which was 19 months in the making.
and exact replicas of actual Southern
homes were erected at Universal City
for the filming of the picture. For
pure artistry and faithful delineation
of human emotion, both of the indi-
vidual and of race, this production is
deserving of the highest commenda-
ton. The musical score was arranged
by Emo Rapee, composer of Angela

Lucien Littlefleld as Marks, Arthur

BELASCO-"LittIe Jesse James"

Little Jesse James" is the vehicle
which the Savoy Musical Comedy Com
pany has chosen for this weeks enter
ta!nment at the Shubert- -Belasco Thea
ter The musical farce now running at
the Shubert-Belasco contains not a
little catchy music, a number of
amusing situations and many lines that
tickle the ear if not the intellect. II
love You" among the songs has partic-
ular merit, and is the main musical
theme which runs through the play.
The comedy company, which is slated
to run through the Winter theatrical
season in Washington. has its distinct
possibilities. 1t has chorus, both male
and female, which can sing and dance.
It is hard working and with wise Sc
lection of musical comedies should sue
ceed. Some of the dancing specialties
were particularly we'll done last night,
especially the eccentric dances, and the
chorus gave evidence of being well
trained in its dancing as we'll as in its
singing.
Renee Hamilton, cost in the title role
as Little Jesse James from OSkaluSa,
Kans., has an attracs.ye speaking and
singing voice. Frank Gallagher, who
danced cleverly. The comedy parts
were assigned to Eddie Morris as
Tommy Tinker, a philanderer; Lew
Christy as S. Block, dealer in antique
furniture made to order, and Roger
Gray as William Pierce, bill col
lector. The last was represented as one
of the biggest men" in Wall street.
His size left nothing to be desired, and
his constant gloom lent added amuse-
mant to the comedy.
In addition to "I Love You" the songs
which stand out in the Savoy Com
pany's production of Little Jesse

use OF the clap-trap employed in most
horror pictures" to achieve the wierd
Rather, they have thrown the cloak of
realism around the old legend; have
given its a plausibility and directness
taht serve to heighten the effect.
The whole thing has the gloomy
atmosphere of the Gothic romances and
the wild horror of the vampire tales,
yet nothing takes place that is not en-
tirely possible. Psychology supplants the
supernatural and gives an effect that
is more powerful.
Around the legend of Count KaZimir
Shemet, victim of horrible delusionS, OBJ
sessed by gruesome desires that have
their beginning in an unfortunate Incl
dent preceding his birth, is constructed
a story of dramatic power, reaching a
tremendous climax in the wedding of
the monster"
While this is essentially a picture in
which the single characters are the most
important. there are several mob
scenes we'll handled.
Count Eggert, who directed the film,
plays the role of Count Shemet and
gives a magnetic performance. All the
principals are excellent, yet the work of
Olga Kartseva as the mad mother of
the ''man-beast" is outstanding for its
portrayal of a crazed mind.

HEALTH FOUND IN
FRUIT COCKTAIL
Simply made with these four
fruits-and sugar to taste

This simple fruit cocktail will
bring enjoyment and health to your
table: Sections of grapefruit, of
orange, of pineapple and bananas
with the addition of granulated or
powdered sugar to taste. The dis
solving of the sugar blends the
f1avors of the various fruits and
adds to them sweetness-nature's
perfect flavor.
One of the main purposes of cook
ery-one often lost sight of in these
| days Of extreme diets is to add
to the zest and enjoyment Of foods.
And there is no other ingredient so
useful in making other healthful
foods gracious to the palate as sugar.
The good cook, by the judicious use
/ of sugar, makes all kinds of fresh
fruits, vegetables and meats tasteful
and delicious.
We spoke above of extreme diets.
More than that, they are dangerous
to health. Eminent medical authori-
ties are alarmed at the semi-starva-
ton reducing diets Extreme reduc-
ing removes the protecting fat that
nature intends everybody should
have. 1t tends to destroy the protec-
ton against disease. 1t very often
causes permanent injuries to the
most delicate organs and tissues.
One of the first laws of health is
to eat enough. Diet sensibly. You
can't neglect eating and keep well.
