this show that really tie up the
show for applause. 1t isn't SO much
what they do, because it is regula-

old stuff, And they get away with
it.

are few women tap dancers in the
business. Lang and Voelk are
eccentric singers and they get lot
of syncopated effects out of their

melodies from recent Broadway
shows. Pleasing to the ear. Well
worked up by Ed Resener.

STARS DO GOOD WORK
IN THIS MOVIE

A great deal has been said both
pro and con on the subject of COM
panionate marriage. Whether it is
the same thing as trial marriage I
don't know.
Esther Ralston agrees on a trial
marriage in Half a Bride then has
the other side of the problem forced
on her.
Half a Bride" intimates that
there are two sides to the marriage
question. One side is purely a sex
question. The other has nothing of
the kind in it. The picture does not
take stand either way, and evades
the sex question cleverly.
Patricia Winslow, known as Pat,
is one of the very wild younger
generation that enters into an
agreement Of trial marriage with a
passing friend. To help the girls
father take some of the wildness out
of her, Capt. Jim Edmunds takes
her on a yacht and they are cast on
desert island during storm and
live together for sor1e months, as
enemies.
Jim finally loves the girl and she
processes to love him. He is begin
ming to weaken and fall for her
when they are saved and taken back
to civilization. AS he starts to sail
away on the rescue ship she comes
to him and tells him that he is the
one she loves.
Pat thinks the idea of being cast
away is great sport and says that
it is different from being wife, that
any woman should envy her, while
Jim insists that she does in their
house what every other woman
does in hers.
The work of Miss Ralston in the
part of Pat is well done. She has
the mad-cap girl character to per-
lection here. At first on the island
she is a very silly creature, thinking
only in the terms of what she has
been used to. Later she changes
and becomes a more primitive type.
The change is evident in the
Characterization.
Gary Cooper is Captain Edmunds.
He is supposed to be one of those
strong salient creatures that can
steel themselves to resist anything
that they make up their minds to
resist. The part calls for that kind
of acting and Cooper gives it.
The part of the father is taken
by William Worthington. He is
seen but little, but is good. Several
other minor parts are in the picture
The majority of the plot is carried
by Cooper and Miss Ralston, and
the deserted island is the locale fol-
most of the picture. Several very
good storm scenes are to be seen.
This is mostly just picture, trying
to give a slant on the marriage
problem. 1t is we'll acted and a fair
story for this sort of thing, but re-

when it comes to that caveman
stuff, John just spills it all over the
dot. Really, I believe that you will
go to the theater to see Gilbert and
not just to see 1.-THE Cossack" be-
cause this Russian stuff lately hasn't
had much appeal. But the director,
with the aid of Miss Adoree and
Gilbert, has been able to turn out
a picture that looks both good and
big. This picture is the nearest ap-
proach to being a landslide success
to 1.-THE Big Parade" that Gilbert
has had since his big success.
Ernest Terrence Is cast as the
father of the hero of the story.
Papa Cossack Terrence wasn't so
proud of his son at first because
said son was dreamer and a mice
boy" Papa Terrence wanted son to
he rough and ready to fight. Dear
son didn't like the smell of blood,
but when he was forced TO smell it,
the son of Cossack leader became a
devil on wheels, or, rather, on
horseback.
There is one scene, realistic and
cruel-that showing the enemy tor
turing the Cossack leader and his
son to death or nearly so. Here is
realism, cruel and a little unpleas-
ant, but it is powerful thater as
acted by Terrence and Gilbert. You
will remember this scene when you
have forgotten the title of the movie.
Terrence is as wonderful as Gill
bert, and when it comes to makeup,
this man Terrence is a wonder.
These two names will be heard
often around town this week. and
they both deserve it.
Do not consider 1.-THE Cossacks"
an historical document. 1t is not
that. It is just a story with
mighty strong dash of command
ing theater. Terrence has never
done more powerful work.
The stage show this week is called
."Spices of 1929" and it serves to
give Harry Fox his second week at
Loew's Palace. Those assisting Fox
besides Emil Seidel and his or
chestra are Fuzzy Knight, Lillian
Morton, the Berry Brothers, the
Ponce Sisters and the dancing
chorus.

quires no really deep thought when
seeing it.
On the stage is the Kat Kab-
aret." The opening scene is worthy
of note On high wall are two
"kats" who have a few spats. Very
cleverly done. Bert Nagle and
Omar Hassen are the two "kats."
One of them is a good eccentric
dancer The other dashes around
the stage on his hands and feet
very much like a cat.
The Hearst Brothers, one a
shine boy" and the other a new
sie," sing what they would do If
they were millionaires. They nave
another number that is of the
jazzy sort. 1t is good.
The Patterson Twins are eccen-
trio dancers and very good ones at
that. They have several numbers.
The Albertine Rasch Girls dance a
cat NUMBER toe dance, with
black and white cats.
Kerenoff and Malree do several
seni-classical numbers. The girl
is canary in a cage and the man
some kind Of bird They are very
good. Roy Vain was billed, but I
did not hear him when I was at the
theater.
Charlie Davis and his band
played Suffering Cats" in which
the meow of cat is the predomi-
rating note. It is a hot tune.
They also played "Driftwood," and
the banjo player sang it.
"a Concert in Colors" is the
name of the organ solo, and the
final number is waiting for the
Rainbow, in which ali the coiors
are cast.
