A musical comedy that has stood the

EARLE--"Manhattan Cocktail" !"

Manhattan Cocktail is all that its
name implies-a high-powered concoc-
ton with the ingredients of gripping
melodrama and snappy, effervescent
comedy to give 1t spice. The Earle
whole picture is tumble of good things
shaken up to give one of the biggest
''kicks" this season, and though its basis
is the old "adrift in the city that has no
heart" theme, an unbeatable cast, effec-
tive camera work and subtitles that
smack of real humor make it above
criticism.
Nancy Carroll, Richard Arlen, Lilyan
Tashman and Paul LukaS carry the ma
jor roles with no little contrast of per-
sonalities. and they are all keyed to
their best. In no previous picture has
Miss Carroll been quite SO charming as
in this wide-eyed role of girl who
grapples with New York, comes out on
top and still sighs for the 'non-alco-
holic" steadineSS of back home.''
Running dangerous second in a
sophisticated bit, Lilyan Tashman,
against striking moderniStic back
grounds that express her fair for the
''ultra," dispenSes higher education"
TO unsuspecting "geniuSes" with alarm
ing results. Richard Arlen is appealing
1n a 'preachy" part concerning the
author of ancient Greek dramas" who
brings little Nancy back home with
lesson well tucked up her sleeve.
Nor does Paul LukaS, that faScinat-
ing European with the real Continental
flavor, step aside against the heavy
competition. In the role of a heartleSS
but philandering theatrical producer,
he dispenses likeable villiany with no
little suavity.
The story starts out with a remark
nbly effective prologue based on the
old Greek myth of the labyrinth at
Crete and strikes an analogy between
the Minatour of those tabled days and
the deadly monster and the heart of
the labyrinth of Broadway. Whether
you like the analogy or not, the pro-
logue is Scenically splendid, lavish bit
artistically done. Then the thing goes
into snappy story of back-stage life,
starting out as obviously gay comedy
and revolving into tense and exciting
melodrama.
Two young people enter the labyrinth
of the big City," one Is a victim to
Its minatour, the other brought out of
Its maze by a modern theSeus, cured
forever Of its complex lure. An i'm
preSSioniStic New York achieved through
rare and effective camera angles affords
a background that is for the most part
a feature IN itself. The synchronized
score is more than successful. Miss
Carroll sings two good songs charmingly
and the theme that accompanies Lukas
throughout is, to say the least,
tantalizing.
An interesting vitaphone playlet, fea-
curing Robert Ober, shows that little
strategy can accomplish wonders, and
h a lengthy, though laughable, comedy

Eishould make the welsh rarebit addict

OPENING ATTRACTIONS IN WASHINGTON
THEATERS

Love" in high speed Iat the Columbia
Theater this week. Goldwyn-
Mayors latest comedy featuring this
pair is guaranteed to put any audience
into q good humor.
It's all about penitentiary operated
on the theory that all men can be
saved from themselves through brother
ly love. There is another penitentiary
where this system is not practiced, and
finally comes the test of the two SyS-
TENS in a foot ball game between the
inmates Of the two institutions. 1t
would not be proper to spoil the fun by
telling the whole story or describing
the many amusing scenes.
There's a girl. of course, who has
caused the hearts of both our heroes to
f1utter. She is the warden's daughter
and has great faith in the powers of
brotherly love. Jean Arthur plays this
role. There's delightful prelude to
the main plot, too. in which Karl Dane
undertakes to make himself thing of
beauty and a joy forever through the
medium of the last word in barber
shops and beauty parlors for men.
George was the sweet young host at this
emporium until difficulties with Karl
landed him in the "hoosegow," in the
vulgar parlance of unenlightened crooks
who know naught of brotherly love.
OF the auxiliary features, the head
liner is the informal and very cordial
talk to the people of the United States
by Alphonso XIII, King of Spain, who
speaks for the first time via Movietone
TO his fellow sportSmen." He extends
an invitation to Americans to go to
Spain and enjoy the excellent roads
which, he adds with dry humor, you
know must be good, for I have been
travelling over them for number of
years in my motor and am still here"
