tivities on Broadway. More than any
single individual, he is said TO have
contributed to the development and
success of the de luxe motion picture
theater in New York
Roxy came to New York from the
Middle West Is years ago, and estab-
lished himself in the Regent Theater at
One Hundred and Sixteenth street and
Seventh avenue, where his unique
methods of picture presentation soon
attracted the attendance of downtown
theatergoerS and the interest Of the
atrical producers
A year later he was called to open the
Strand Theater on Broadway, the first
de luxe motion picture theater to pre-
sent pictures with synchronization of
music and color Subsequently he di-
rected the opening of the Rialto and
the Rivoli Theaters. and later was called
to- institute his presentation ideas at the
Capitol, and then at the Roxy Theater.

Turning then to more serious dra-

AnSky's famous play, little realizing
what tremendous undertaking this
was, Alvin Neuberger of Baltimore
was obtained TO coach the troupe.

encountered.
After more than six months of re-
hearsal The Dybbuk" was tried out"
last Monday night on an invited au-

News and Comment
BY w. h. LANDVOlGT.
OCCASIONALLY picture il

OCCASIONALLY a picture 1,
~ presented that approXimates
IL it does not reach, the standard
that admirers of the photoplaS
hope for. Few Of these, however
are of the last crop ground out In
Hollywood or elsewhere, They are
more likely to be left-overS of q
previous age Of inspiration. The
fault may be in what they call
block booking, the practice that
producers employ to get rid of a
large grist of inferior picture ma
terial to those exhibitors who
want an outstanding picture or
two. If so, the sooner block
booking disappears from the in
duStry the better will 1t be
with the pictures and the bet
ter off will be the picture pub
lie. The effort Of the Federal
Trade Commission to bring this
about Is being desperately fought
in the industry. 1t is not difficult
to guess that the reason for this
is that 1t may sound the death
knell of inferior pictures and may
compel the producers to give their
attention to something better. It
has been said by wise observers
that the prologueS, presentations
md vaudeville accessories. which
lNtelv seem disposed to crowd out
The pictures themselves. are but a
nakeShift to turn attention away
from the fact that SO many really
FETCHED pictureS are put on dis
Dlay. There are tricks in all
.redeS. and it is suspected in some
quarters that this is one OF the
'e'cvie tricks.
IF. as rumor indicates, Washing
1 ton has lost Keith'S among its
theaterS, a conclusion not difficult
to reach after the adoption Of its
new hodge -podge policy, lovers of
high-class vaudeville will have an
additional sorrow to mourn, for
even with the makeShift arrange
nent into which it was forced by
existing conditions, there was al
ways the hope that it might re-
turn TO its first love, and that It
might still be possible to witness
the great stars of vaudeville in
Washington again. Who can say
that the theaters which provide
'n~itimate drama may not follow
in its wake? And it does not take
: very wise man to guess how long
the present-day movie policy may
last before it meets similar fate.
And what will poor Robin do then,
poor thing?
