LITTLE THEATER-"Dawn..


After seeing Dawn" the British pic
ture based on the life Of Edith Cavell,
the nurse who was shot by the Ger
mans as a spy during the war, one is
forced to wonder what all the opposi-
ton to the photoplay as q menace to
peace was based upon.
Certainly there Is nothing In the pic
ture which would tend to incite undue
hatred toward the people of former
enemy nation. If propaganda for any,
thing. it is for peace rather than for
war, for no stronger instance of the
horrors of war than the Cayell case
could be put forth.
Presented at the Little Theater yes
terday, where it will run through the
week, the photoplay attracted large
audiences. Sybil Thorndyke plays the
leading role and the Characterization
of the heroic woman who died with
words of forgiveness for her slayers is
truly remarkable.
AS to the filming of the picture, one
Is inclined to agreement with George
Bernard Shaw's characterization of it
as work of art" It is realistic and
yet one is spared the somewhat CORY
scenes which have been shown in some
of the recent war pictures by directors
little overzealous in striving for stark
realism.
The story is free from romantic
fabrication, confining itself apparently
to the facts in the Cavell case. Special
care has been taken, it is claimed, to re-
construct the events pictured according
to the account of eyewitnesses.
The action is smooth and graceful,
the continuity without jars, making in
all an exquisite drama.

In his latest effort Mr.. Bafthelmess
lays aside character roles to become es-
sentially the lover, with the John Gill
bert technique, and overcomes a weak
story of the war they won't let us for

suit is a film that drags perceptibly dur
ing the first part, but which takes a
sudden turn to finish with dramatic
moments of tense situations and very
good acting.

little to do, considering her known
talents.
The war sequences, showing the front
line trenches under fire, are well photo
graphed and always, fortunately, kept
from reaching a spectacular scale which
most movies of this type revel in. Those
who hope to see Paris, which is sup
posed to furnish the major locale of
the film. will be disappointed. for the
few outside "shots" that are shown
could very easily have been taken at
the First National studio. However, the
picture is interesting and certainly good
entertainment.
Two Vitaphone presentations, featur-
ing Winnie Lightner in songs and VIII
liam Demarest in one of those unhappy
husband acts, along with silent COM
edy and newsreel, furnish the sub
sidiaries.

COLUMBIA-"The Tempest"

John Barrymore has proved so popu-
lar in his latest picture, 1.-THE Tempest"
that it is being held over for a second
week at Loew's Columbia Theater.
Russia is the scene of his latest ac-
tivities, and a realistic picture of war
torn Russia of revolutionary days is
presented, with Barrymore, burning
flame of tempestuous love and bitter
ness, as the central figure around which
the story revolves. 1t Is the tale Of
a "peasant-born" dragon elevated to the
position Of lieutenant skld aspiring to
the love of a princess, @ith the newt
able social crucifixion which might be ex-
pected of man SO thrust into the midst
Of Russia's blue-blood pre-war days.
Then comes the dawn of the Red day;
tables are turned and the daring peas

ranks and solitary confinement as re-
ward for his aspirations, suddenly finds

himself master. Love triumphs over
hatred and bitterness in the end; O
proud princess answers the call OF her
heart and the social abyss is spanned
in the union of the pair, giving a
rather idealistic ending to a strong
drama otherwise dominated by realism.
Camilla Horn Is charming as the
princess, while Louis Wolheim adds a
light note in his portrayal Of the faith
full sergeant who loved his Ivan (the
handsome dragon hero) better than
his rank.
Auxiliary features are UFA produc-
daring of alpine hunters in killing an

from the nest under thrilling circum-
stances; the usual M-G-M news flashes,
and an appropriate musical program by

PARIS, Nov. 21.-Seven workers
are dead, five workers yet unac-
counted for and scores of workers
seriously injured as result of ,yhe
explosion yesterday in the govern

Of Vincennes. Those listed as miss

The plant is under the direct
supervision of the department of
war, and was devoted exclusively to
the manufacture of cartridges for
French army rifles. The plant is
the most important of its kind in
the country, and, due to the increase
in the French army, had been work
ing at great speed.
With the appearance on the scene
Of Raymond Poincare, prime minis
ter; Paul Painleve, minister Of war,
and Andre Tardieu, minister of pub
lie works, all reports relative to the
explosion and its possible causes
have been withheld, and workers in
the plant charge that more have
been killed than is reported.
After the explosion workers were
seen running from the burning
luilding, leaving trails Of blood be-
hind them. Those who could not
run crawlcd away with broken legs
or ribs. Many OF TIE injured work

"Ahas Jimmy Ualentine'
1yansblanted to the TaIRies

THAT stage success of yesteryear,
Alias Jimmy Valentine" by the
late Paul Armstrong, which was
first produced in New York at the
old Wallack's Theatre as long ago
as 1910, has been successfully trans
planted to the talkie screen. Metro
Goldwin-Mayer is sponsoring the
current film production which is be-
ing shown at the Aston Theatre.
1t appears that this crook story
should linger at it's present abode
for SOME time to come, as it pro-
vides good entertainment and is
still more or less of master opus
among the multitude of underworld
comedy-dramas that have been pro-
duced in the last two decades.
The story is too well-known in
general to need much comment.
Briefly, it relates the adventures of
two crooks who serve their ring
leader, Jimmy Valentine, he of the
sensitive fingers that specializes in
opening safes. Eventually Jimmy
plans one robbery too many in that
he falls in love with the bank presi-
dents daughter, whose fathers
bank he is planning to rob. Of
course, our hero then decides to go
straight. A really thrilling and
dramatic climax is brought about
by hard-boiled detective following
Valentine all the way from New
York. The big scene, you will re-
call, occurs when Jimmy opens the
safe to save the life of baby who
is locked in the vault.
Although the story has become
trite from frequent use since the
original play, nevertheless, the good
direction by Jack Conway makes
an absorbing job of the picture.
William Haines is especially good,
as also Lionel Barrymore, Tully
Marshall and Karl Dane. Leila Hy-
ans plays the heroine acceptably.
The picture has several talking
sequences which are particularly
well done.
