BELASCO GOES
FOR GIRLS
AND TUNES
By ANDREW r. KELLEY

BY ANDREW n. KELLEY
Tea for two and Il Want to
Be Happy tinkling tunes Of
Vincent Youmans, rolled up q
great fortune for Harry Frazee.
They are the lingering melodies
Of mo, No. Nanette,' = 4 tried and
true musical comedy. which
Charles Emerson Cook picked to
inaugurate 4 Washington season
presenting the hits Of recent
Broadway memory.
A capacity audiences at the
Belasco last night was generous
to, n youthful and capable com
pany. Wise heads in the theater
say that a musical comedy COM
pany is as good as its comedians.
Producer Cook produced as Elk
hibit al in the fun line. one Eddie
Morris, a comedian built like the
.estimable Jimmy Walker, becom-
Ingly bald and nlmble enough of
tongue and foot. As his chief
comic accessory we have Roger.
Gray. not unknown to Washing
ton as an actor happiest when
producing laughs. They are a
competent pair.
mo, No, Nanette" makes the
gayest of musical farce. Fash.
ioned from the play, My Lady
Friends ii elects to picture
what happens to sedate pub
Usher OF the Holy Book when he
takes a fling at harmless flirta-
tions and becomes involved with
a trio of maids not averse to
breach of promise possibilities.
Its action Is fast, once it gets
going in high, with the laughs
interrupted for some snappy dane
ing and more than the. usual
quota. Scf lilxcable tunes.
= Virginia Marvin is the
"Nanette." A personality brunette
OF Pennington size, who dances
delightfully."- and given the two
smash singing numbers Of q fine
score registered iInpressively. Vir.
ginia 10 one Of the main Cook
assets. Francis Gallagher, like.

sings easily, dances o. K. but 10
not so forte. when handling lines.
Carrie Reynolds had her moment

topical song with 4 chuckling
lyric. Rosa Snowden. Beatrice
Lee. Renee Hamilton, Anne Gille.
spie and Anne Greene are allotted
the other principal roles and serve
acceptably.
The Cook chorus line, in full
reginentals. will compare favor
ably with the. best for youth and
beauty and puts the required
touch Of pep into the dancing,
numbers. pF'or the first time in
many seasons the Bela,sco orches-
ira pit Is occupied, in fact over
flowing with musicians. A ten
piece Instrumentation led by Vim
cent Colling with Paul Schwarz in
the first fiddle chair, rendered the
Youmans tricky score without a
blemish.
The underlined attraction to fol-
low "Nanette" is the Arthur Ham
merstein musical. "Wildflower."

STIRRING TALE
FILLS FOX
SCREEN

As much as the. general public
abhors sordid things and as much
as it displays utter distaste Of
life In the lower strata OF large
catiea It IL bound, by its own
desire for. the dramatic. to like
photoplays pictorializing under
world life. Because In that Grim
inal field of human endeavor there
IL everything exciting to be found.
And William Fox's feature.
Romance OF the Underworld, "
current at his F Street play
house is no exception.
It is . stirring vehicle in
which love is protected by silence,
to say the least: and II its
author, Paul Armstrong, has
sought to prove that q wOman's
past life is none Of her husbands
business, certainly he has proved
his case. In the film version
there Is an exceptionally strong
east to help Armstrong in his
business of didactic playwriting.
As the husband, the handsome
John Boles acquits himself In
above par fashion; Robert Elliott
as the detective, again stamps
himself as a stellar character and
Ben Bard, as the low-dcwn lover
makes quite show OF his role.
Mary Astor, first as jezebel OF
the underworld and later as an
affectionate and loving wife car
ries on effectively.
The Fox stage effects are OF the
compus. the revue being called
college Capers. The Lovey
Twins sing to no little applause;
The Rio Brothers are a couple Of
comic dancing fools, II such there
be; Morton and Mayo sIapsticx
Spanish dancers, Ameriq0e and
Neville do the adagio not unlike
1t has been done before and the
Fox sTillerettes add their charm
and graceful dancing at intervals.
Miss Helen Yorke steps before
the curtain to sing q beautiful
"B' number in her beautiful
coloratura voice and Lawrence
Downey, invisible M. c., gets be-
fore the footIights for the first
time to sing 'On the Road to
Mandalay.' Downey sings 1t well
and his emoting is hardly needed
to put that Kipling-inspired piece
over with his voice. That ends
the very fine stage events.
Added treats include Tschai-
kowsky's 'Capriccio Italienne"
~ conducted by Frederick Stark
ta very fine bit OF work, indeed
and the Fox Movietone News

JOHN GHBERT |
GOOD TN HIS
LATEST

John .GiIbert,s fans will rave
over Masks of the Devir' at
Loew's Palace, whether they
know what its all about or not.
This highly modernistic screen
version Of a novel by Wassermann
is one of the great lovsr's most
successful vehicles. 1t gives him
plenty OF opportunity for char
acter shading, and he ate 1t up.
Masks Of the ,DeviP' marks
also the film debut OF Eva voE
Berne, the Serbian girl who sue
eeeded Gerta Garbo as the object
OF Gilbert's devotions on the
screen. Unimpreasive at first In
a. rather cClorless role, the new
star thrived under the direction
Of Victor Seastrom and at the
close was going like house afire.
The story, rather unusual for
the screen, tells Of young Aus
trian count, who is as proud Of his
cOnQuests among the beauties Of
the great capital az Rain-fn-the-
Face must have been OF the
scalps around his wigwam.
The story really begins when
the count begins a leisure1y but
systematic conquest of his friends
best girl. He doesn't succeed.
Rather, az in the old Bill Hart
opera, he is saved by a pure
woman's fine love-but the proc
eas wasn't as Grass as you might
think.
The Scastrom touch and the
excellent performance of Gilbert
and'his fellow.players save Masks
OF the Devil" from becoming
ridiculous. Seastrom ma akes ef-
fective use of the idea OF visu-
allied thoughts such as were
used in Strange Interlude" The
result is the most amazing pic
ture of hypocrisy an American
company has ever put, on celllI-
loid. There Is no known com
parison for this picture save Muir.
nau's "Tartuffe. = made with Emil
Jannings in Germany
Theodore Roberts, Alma Rubens
and Jane Wolf have important
parts in the picture and ada to
the success of the picture.
Every now and then Gilbert
looks in a mirror and sees him.
self made up, facial1y only. as. the
Old Boy himself-but it turns out
that he's not the devil incarnate
after all, but only a bad boy
whose conscience was hurting
him.
Boris Petroff puts on the
Palace stage a most worthy offer
ing in "Crinolines VS.. Jass." wes4

announces a series OF clever COM
edy dancing and singing acts.
Among the short subjects are the

Norma Phys 'Em All

Norma Talmadge, star OF THE
Woman Disputed" now playing
at Loew's Columbia, has played
almost every nationality In mo.
tion pictures. In her latest she
is an Austrian. What OF it?
The Washington times., 1928-11-26
NORMA SEEN TN
A COLORFUI
ROLE

You can always depend that
Norma Talmadge and United
Artists win give completely Of
their resources for any production
in which this star appears. In
The Woman Disputed" her lat.
est feature on view at Loew's CO.
lumbia, we have a screen drama
that is pictorially charming, well
acted, but upconvincing, because
the Denison Gift play from which
it was made is also implausible in
premise.
Norma plays a woman of the
