TRAIL OF 49,
C0LORFUL
FEATURE

Those Of you who stayed at
home while all the world was
rushing to Alaska during the
may find out just how much you
missed in Metro.G Goldwyn- Mayors
latest epic film, THE Trail of 49,"
The picture has come to Wash
ington, to Loew's Columbia The
ater. after a distinguished run in
New York. 1t is worth anyone's
time and money, from the two
standpoints of entertainment and
education.
Clarence Brown, the mega phone
master of M-G.M, spent money in
a big way to re-create the Alaska
Of 99S for the film fans of the
world. The scenes at Chilkoot
Pass and in the rapids of the
Yukon are splendid bits of camera
work and direction. The snow
slide is as skilful a piece of trick
photograph as you may ever hope
to see.
Don't get the idea, though, that
THE Trail of '98" is merely
flashback travelogue. It has a
powerful melodramatic story rum
ming throughout, and q dazzling
cast of stars to carry out the
directions. In this cast are Dolores
Del Rio. Ralph Forbes, Harry
Carey, Karl Dane, Tully Marshall,
Tenen Holtz, Emily F'itzroy, Ray
Gallagher, Cesare Grabina and an
assorted company of dance hall
girls, prospectors and bearded
citizens.
The story and the theme behind
1t are deftly woven together and
developed evenly, so that one is
never held up while the other
rushes along to pick up the pace.
The yarn naturally opens with
the report of the gold strike reach.
ing San Francisco. Then, from all
sections of the United States map,
groups of money-nad adventures
hurried out to the West Coast and
took the next boat to the gold
fields.
Dolores Del Rio, a poor girl, was
going to Dawson City, taking along
her blind grandfather. Ralph
Forbes, stowaway aboard the
Alaska steamer, was befriended by
Dolores. Harry Carey, wealthy
and wicked claim jumper, coveted
Dolores. There's the triangle.
The drama pushes along from
one exciting situation to another,
until the fight between Forbes and
Carey, which more nearly re-
sembles the battle In "The
Spoilers" than any film duel In the
writer's memory. The picture ends
happily.
An unusual Metro Movietone of.
fering, made especially. for the
opening of Loew's Empire Theater
in London, introduces Ernest Tor
renee, Jack Gilbert, Norma
Shearer, Joan Crawford and other
M-G.M stars, bringing some fine
new voices to the screen.

orchestra, complet. the bill.---J r..

TALK
ON RURAL
ENGLAND

Forsaking the more densely
populated centers of England in
favor of the rural and rustic
haunts of the Isle, served as the
subject Of Mr.. Newman's conclud-
ing lecture at the National The
ater yesterday afternoon. Our
visionary Journey started at
Lands End, the last outpost of
the Old World. from whence the
Atlantic expanse stretches away
to the shores of the Western
Hemisphere. This bleak, extreme
end of the Cornish coast, whipped
as 1t ia constantly by the fury
of the ocean storms, is quite a
picturesque quarter and the color
tone that its sturdy fisher.folk
supply creates an unusual back
ground.
Visiting rural England without
pausing O while at Stratford
Avon ID considered a breach, and
so Trinity Church, where the
great Shakespeare lies buried,
and the cottage where Ann Hath
away and the bard dwelt and also
the home where the author was
born, were seen all too hastily.
Scotland, the land of Burns
and the neither and Alloway,
Ayr and the Brig o. Doom, where
Tam o. Shanter and the gray
mare are legendary and a glimpse
at the imposing Burns memorial
were vividly portrayed by the

4FRIVOLITIES y
ON TAP AT
STRAND

Harry Strouse's "Frivolities,"

vancing something new in this
branch of theatricals, is present
ing a very entertaining bill at
the Strand Theater this week.
Yesterday found large numbers Of
the fans on hand and the many
good things abounding on the
program came in for boisterous,
approval. Charlie Davis, better
known perhaps as "Bfmbo," is.
back once more and he brings a
bunch Of enjoyable humor and
good songs on the present
occasion. ''Tangara, another of
those mysterious dancers, makes
her appearance in some original
and novel numbers.
The bill boasts a sweet singer
In the person of Adeline Parks.
Her songs are bright and prettily
dressed. James Hall has some
witty bits and one or two original
ballads. Jean Fox danced well
while Jimmy Hall shone in gen.
eral all round work.
The members of the chorus are
enlisted in the ensembles and
display decided talent in singing
and dancing efforts, The music
is catchy and the costumes pretty.
Thursday nights performance will
be marked by additional numbers
and another finish wrestling bout.

MISS FOX DOES
AWONDERFUL
ROSE MARIE

That glamorous and melodious
operetta, Rose Marie" returned
last night to Polls Theater for
weeks run. This tuneful story
was quite the musical smash of
the season four years ago and 1t
has yet the power to charm that
It had at first. This reviewer has
sat through four performances,
at different times and places, and
enjoyed them all. But last night,
for the first time, he saw a
Rose Marie who, to great
degree, approximated his idea Of
what the heroine Of this musical
romance should look and act like.
Last night the audience saw a
Rose Marie who could not only
sing, but was beautiful to look
at, a Rose Marie who could in
trigue you with her eyes and
make the audience echo her
laughter. The work Of Miss Vir-
ginia Fox, In short. was a thing
of beauty and something one re.
viewer will remember with
pleasure for a very long time.
The company, as whole, is
most excellent. Charles Meakins,
as Sergeant Malone, and Houston
Richards, as Hardboiled Herman,
are among those in the cast who
have appeared here before In
this play,
Peggy Pates was a most anus.
ing and vivacious Lady Jane.
Paul Donah, blessed with a very
fine singing voice, is the hero,
Jim Kenyon. whose path to love
was beset with so many obstacles.
Russell Griswold, as Black
Eagle; Ross Gibson, as Edward
HawIey; Sano Marco, as Emile,
and Daisy Gibson as Ethel
Brander. played their respective
parts In a capable manner. Mira
Nirska did very fine Job az
the Indian girl. Wanda.
No review of Rose Marie, of
course, could be complete without
a mention of the chorus. Those
wonderful dance routines, done
with marvellous precision. are
things to remember. The Totem
Tom Tom" number sets q high
mark for chorus drill. This color
full episode is splendidly done.
Rose Marie is filled with good
song numbers. The radio and
the phonograph have made the
world familiar with Rose Marie"
Indian Love Call" and Totem
Tom Tom" But there are others,
quite as beautiful. Pretty Things"
is as tuneful a melody as one
could wish. why shouldn't
We?" Is another. to say nothing
of The Door of My Dreams"
The stage settings are fine in
deed. The setting and staging
of the last two scenes are theater
art at its best. w. B.

YOUNG LOVEAT
ANNAPOLIS
IN FILM

A very pretty little girl, by
name jeanette Loft, came near
wrecking the lives of two young
cadets in the Pathe sound film
Annapolis, current feature at
the Earle. And she might have
done that had it not been for the
high code Of ethics among mid.
shipmen; at any rate, it is too
bad she didn't dc it just for the
sake of creating a little argument
about who is the most worthy of
the wooers in the Academy pic
torial.
The Pathe story Is rich one
in romance; much richer in color,
but 1t lacks punch most appealing
to masses nowadays because
young blood holds sway through
out the picture. Yet it is a splen-
did photoptay; certainly a mag
nificent Improvement over any
thing done by Pathe in many
months.
Miss Loft is featured with John
Mack Brown, whose performance
as Billy is not any better than
that of William Bakewell as Her
bert, the youth who finds it hard
to lose a girl when he has knoWl-
edge of the fact that his friend
Billy never has been quite regu-
lar. However, Billy finds it quite
convenient to pay court to Her.

power wins her for his wife.

FANNIE BRICE
AS SINGING
FILM STAR

If you have never seen Fannie
Brice. folks, there is a real treat in
store for you at the Metropolitan
this week, where this famous
comedienne is making her screen
debut in MY Man." a Warner
Brothers Vitaphone production.
The title. in this instance, is the
theme song and Fannie sings 1t
with her usual charm and pathetic
intensity. The story is negligible,
being sort of gIorified vaudeville
act that affords the star oppor.
tunity to sing several of the song
numbers that helped her to fame.
Yes. of course, she does the In
dian Song" Second Hand Rose"
"Fiora Dora Baby" and the Spring
Song with Its accompanying inter

songs and also the w. k. sketch,

co-workers during the noon hour
with her comic stories and ditties,
and smoothing the path for
beautiful, discontented young sister
and younger brother. loses her
heart to a young chap of much
strength. but little ambition, and
when he proves unworthy, seeks
and finds a bright spot in the
brightness that Is Broadway. A
simple story. entirely obvious, but
Fannie sings and clowns and wise
cracks and makes it all decidedly
entertaining.
Don't misunderstand us. this
is not feminine version of "The
Singing Fool" it's falls short of
the Jolson film in a great many
ways, for the pathos that is Jol-
sons is only attempted in the
vehicle of Miss Brice. Fannie is
her best when she clowns and
HOW she clowns!
Miss Brice is her own adequate
self and has already won medals
as an entertainer, but for the
acting ,honors we bow OF Edna
Murphy, who plays Fannie's
young sister. Guynn williams as
my man" is only mildly inter.
esting. In the support we have
Richard Tucker, Andre de Segu-
rola and Ann Brody, all capable
players. The film is about three
quarters dialogue and the record
ing is satisfactory.
Supplementing the feature pic
ture, is the customary newsreel

bits, a charming flash of that
perennial youngster. Mr.. Thomas
