War In the Clouds
Pictured On
Met Screen

So great was the response to
the showing of 1.-THE Legion of
the Condemned" last week at the
Metropolitan that it has been held
over for another week, and judg-
ing from the audience at the Sat
urday matinee it deservedly will
be a grand and glorious second
week for this theater.
1.-THE Legion of the Condemned"
gives the spectator thrills, love
interest and suspense. From the
man who takes his flying serious
ly to the flapper who dwells upon
the romantic, no one will leave
this picture without a fine sense
of time well spent.
1t is the war again, but the
war from a different angle and
developed to high degree of dra-
matte novelty. A young, American
newspaper man is thrown with an
unattached flying unit at the
front. They fight for the dan
gerous missions, making their
deeds of valor the talk and envy
of the fighting forces. Another
order for a mission spectacle"
comes through, and Price, the
newspaper man, gets it. He awaits
his passenger, to him known only
as agent 1877. At dawn the agent
arrives. and as they are preparing
to take off, a sudden shift of the
propeller reveals Christine, his
former betrothed.
Price demands an explanation
of that night at the embassy
ball. Christine discloses that she
has been a government agent all
the while and was doing her
duty to obtain enemy informa-
ton. They take off for the
enemy territory and land safely.
Price is to return in ten days
for Christine, but after his de-
parture she is captured, tried by
court-martial and sentenced to
die. Price arrives on the spot
and aso is captured. AS Christine
is about to pay the penalty, the
winged legion appears and what
a climax follows! Gary Cooper
and Fay Wray are the featured
heads of an admirable cast.

Earle Screening
Mountain Love
Tale

They've screened Harold Bell
Wright's rural masterpiece THE
Shepherd of the Hills" with all
of the books spiritual, virile and
poignant essentials intact, and
incidentally unpolluted by any
hint of plot deviation.
In adapting the original story
to the celluloid, it is pleasant to
know that particular care has
been taken to mould a cast
fitted to portray the roles en-
trusted them.
Alex j. Francis is a tenderly
pathetic figure as the aged won
der worker OF the primitive hill
district. Molly O'Day, diminutive
and winsome,- would have taken
first honors had anyone but the
venerable Francis been included
in the pictures array. However,
she does run a mighty good Sc
cond. John Boles is impressive
as the silent son of soil, whose
lot destines him to be unhappy
up to the final flicker.

Columbia Holding
Doug Another
Week

The agile artist Fairbanks con-
tinues his turn as "The Gaucho,"
at Loew's Columbia this week,
, carrying himself, to our mind, to
another rung on his ladder of
successful celluloid features. Fair
banks flair for impish roles has
never been carried out more eff.
fectively in any film than in his
current release.
AS a bandit rival for the hand
of wild village girl, who later
becomes fair priestess of the
shrine, 1.-The Gaucho" leads his
horde to. maddening adventure
against the mailed fist of die
tator to seize the riches of a city
prospecting at shrine where
miracles of healing are done.
The inimitable bandit Fairbanks
falls heir to the spell of the
village lass and his romancing
lead him far afield into adven-
ture. The Gaucho" is captured,
but later escapes and his fearless
men, riding like madmen and led
Dy the Shrine GIRL OuLWlC the Qlc-
tator and his villainous men TO
save the girl and her padre pro-
tector from execution.
There is no doubt of Fairbanks
ability to entertain even the most
critical audience, and in this latest
spectacle we find him doing his
utmost to enhance his reputation
and salary check.
An "Our Gang" comedy is an
other feature of interest. While
we had believed the kids were
losing form. their latest opus is in
slant proof that their originator,
Hal Roach, is still busy and look
ing in every nook and corner for
originals of the type and kind that
please discriminating audiences.

Palace Features
Good Film and
Stage Bill

, It Is hard to decide which is the
feature attraction at Loew'S Palace
this week, since both the screen
and stage presentations command
interest.
The picture is "Doomsday," a
film version Of the Warwick Deep
ing novel Of the same name, and
depicts the story of a girl, who. to
satisfy her desires to live in luxury
and thus be forever free from the
drudgery of eternal dishwashing,
marrieS the wrong man. Later
realizing her mistake, she has the
courage to admit it and sets about
proving that the routine business
Of homework ceases to be
drudgery when love is partner.
The story is simply told and the
direction is excellent.
Florence Vidor drops her role of
sophisticate long enough to give a
charming portrayal Of the Girl
Mary, but acting honors must be
given to Gary Cooper, admirably
cast as Arnold, the young officer
who is so bitterly disappointed in
the girl he loves. Cooper gives the
role a sympathetic understanding
that makes you realize that here
Is a screen star in the making.
The supporting cast is adequate.
The stage production is both
elaborate and voluminous and is
worthy Of that popular Every popu-
lar, if one judges by the applause
which greets HIM master of cere-
monies. Wesley Eddy. There are
some lovely voices in the ensem.
BILE and a male double quartet
which is noteworthy. The soprano
tenor duet of Marian Lax and
Robert Cloy is a real treat. Then
there is Ben Blue, originator of the
skating dance, who executes eccen-
trio steps and almost stops the
show. Alfred Lantell is amusing
as "Bonzo," the wonder dog. The
entire act is we'll costumed and
staged. but if such large produc-
tions continue at this popular
house, Mr.. Beaus will be compelled
to add to the size of the stage,
since the ensemble seemed a bit
crowded when the dancers came to
the front.
There is an M.-G.-M. Newsreal OF
