10 S o m t h ng Buster KeatOn
With a role in which his talents are
mostly wasted. Personally, I do NOT
consider Keaton either great
comedian. He may be unique but
do not believe that greatness is
his quality. 1t may be because of
the weak story. The comedy at
temptS Of Keaton are scattered
over too much space. He does a
bunch of trick stuff in the storm
scenes but this is old business. 1t
really can not register as novelty
any more.
1t seems to me that if Keaton is
going to grow and improve his
unique comedy art CD then his
stories must be entirely different
than any other comedian and they
must fit his personality and methods.
The more I think about this one,
I believe that Terrence gave me
more laughs than Keaton. It is a
sham to compare Terrence this week
in Steamboat Bill, Jr.," with his
magnificent work in The Cossacks. -
He was marvellous last week you
know in a real story
AS usual, be your own judge of
this movie. Personally I think it is
one of Keaton's poorer pictures. 1
may be wrong. Have your own idea

goes she is there before him. and
anything is fair in keeping the OPP
position from getting the picture.
When an Indian potentate that
has never been photographed is at
a social affair Pat and Scoop man
age to get in to get pictures. And
Pat is the only one that gets any
thing. But it is the robbing of the
Indian.
After adventures of several kinds
they are rescued from the crooks
yacht and even then Pat gets the
scoop on the capture.
Bebe Daniels is here in a different
role. 1t is worthy of note in that
Hot News" offers a unique kind of
comedy situation and it is taken
advantage of fully. While she is
cast in role that might make her
lose feminism, she retains it. In one
spot there is bit of burlesque.
Scoop and Pat take the places of
the dancers for the social function,
and in the fight they have for a
camera crank appears the unnat-
uralness. This is the only spot that
does not ring true.
The great Scoop" Morgan is
played by Neil Hamilton. He is
good in the part Of the very con-
ceited cameraman who knew that
no won10Hn IN the world could ever
beat him out.
Spec ODonald and Paul Lukes are
in the cast.
On the stage is Linden and
Farnum. They are two eccentric
dancers who have a burlesque on an
apache dance that is good. Il is
extended for burlesque and there is
no mistaking it. They are good.
Doyle and Schirmer have a cow
boy act. That is, they are dressed
as cowboys might be dressed, but
They sing. One of them plays the
luke" and the other a mouth organ
at times. Their songs are of the
comedy variety and are catchy.
They have some good harmony, and
some jazz.
Helen Kennedy ruShes out and in
teruptS Dick Powell and then starts
into her act. She is a good "kid-
der" and all through her song tells
Dick that she wonders where he has
been all her life. It is a good COM
edy act.
Here is a man that has danced
IN vaudeville houses in the CITY be-
lore. He is a tap dancer and all the
time he dances he talks, and runs
in dance after dance, each with a
different kind of step. He has some
stories that are good, and his name
is DotSon.
The orchestra plays several
chorus of when" and Powell sings
one of them. 1t is a good number
giving solo to the trumpet and
trombone. Powell does some nice
work with the song. The chorus
has special number that is a
"Tiller routine" They do very
we'll with it.
The overture is called Souvenir"
and is played with picture that
depicts the souvenirs of an old sea-
man and his memories. It is good.
The organ solo is Music Hath
Charms" and is another of Desa
Byrd's "sing songs"

signs from the force when one Of
his men is killed, the chief de-

shot him.
Then our hero becomes a drunk

the gang leader. This doesn't ring
true as realism, but it is rather far
fetched theater. And the ending
is one of those happy ones-our de-
tective hero getting well from his

acrobatic work of two little men and
an older one. have misplaced the
name of this team. 1t deserves to
be named because it is a corking
good one. The next best event is
the playing of the orchestra and
Charlie Davis of the music of one
of their new records.
The introduction to this revue is

get the right atmosphere.

out, due to the workings of his men.
Scarsi is afraid of women; he says
they are poison to him, yet his
brother, who is not in the racket,
gets mixed up with caberet dancer
who finally lands Scarsi for the po-
lice. He is shot and killed by man
from the district attorneys Office.
The part of the police captain Is
played by Thomas Meighan. 1t is
of an officer who, due to his efforts
to land a criminal, is sent to "the
sticks" by his office, and then lures
the criminal to him. Meighan has
made McQuigg a strong character.
To land his man he disregards the
law. corrupt as it had become, and
wins.
A part nearly as strong was that
of Scarsi, the beer baron. Louis
Wolheim played this part and
played it we'll. The smirks and sneerc
that one would expect from a man
of this type we're there, and at The
right time.
The girl who finally landed Searsi
was played by Marie Provost. She
was the girl who got the little
brother in her grip and made Scarsi
bring himself to justice. The
brother, Joe, was played by George
Stone. Joe was not in the racket,
or the game.
Two reporters in quest of news
figured in the story, They were
Pratt and Miller. Lee Moran was
Pratt and Richard Gallagher, Mil
Ter. The cub reporter, who was the
only witness to the shooting of an
officer by Scarsi, was played by Sam
De Grasse.
Beer running, machine gun war
fare, and elaborate funerals, as well
as the workings of the organiza-
ton, all figure strongly in the plot
The story is strong, well acted and
directed. 1.-THE Racket" has no vi
taphone accompaniment.
The police quartet, from Holly
wood, sing a number of songs over
Vitaphone, and among them is one
that has four different melodies and
four different sets of words. 1t is
composed of nursery rhymes. They
sing with no accompaniment.
1.-THE Bookworm" is a comedy
number that is the dream of a man
who goes to deliver book to
woman, and being sentimental
through reading the book, dreams
what she says to him. Harry j.
Conley and Ethel De Voc are the
main character in this Vitaphone
Skit.
Ben Bernie and his orchestra play
several numbers, which includes
duet of a comedy nature. Bernie
is also seen and heard playing
solo part to one of the numbers.
This in addition to the sound news
reel of events.

Buster Keaton's latest, Steam

best that this comedian has turned
out.
Here is a weak story, probably
made because of its title and then
strengthened by having Ernest Tor
